摘要

歐陽修以文學知名。本論文則從歐陽修「一家之讀書法」入手，探求其「知古明道」的學術核心，從闡明「知古」與「切於事實」之道，進而論述其藉古以知今的歷史意識。其中，蘊含歐陽修的歷史批判與對歷史事件的價值詮釋。歐陽修是一個重視道德價值的學者，並將此「道德」的「理性」，付諸作史之實踐。因此，其著述事業是「為道」之途徑，為了垂世教、著勸戒。可見歐陽修學術的重要特色，正在其「為道」理念的文學實踐與作史實踐之重合軌跡。

並列摘要

Though Ouyang Xiu may be primarily known for his literature, this study instead considers his key view of ”understanding antiquity and knowing the Dao”, a view that he based on his personal research methodology. An investigation of his notions of ”knowing antiquity” and the Dao of ”approaching actual facts” can better explains his historical consciousness of understanding the present according to the past. This historical consciousness includes Ouyang's criticism of historical events and assigning different values to these events. At the same time, since he emphasized the study of ethical values, Ouyang Xiu also brought a strong sense of moral idealism to his historical works. Thus, the focus of his works was how to ”actualize the Dao,” both to educate and to admonish. From this we can see that one of the significant characteristics of Ouyang's scholarship is the way in which this concept of ”actualizing the Dao” links his literature and his historical works.
