本文整理隋代(581-617)思想文化史研究的主要成果,提供讀者一份理解此時期重要思想文化問題的指南。隋代重新統一中國,整合南北,結束近300年的分裂,有極為重要的歷史意義。相對於其重要性,隋朝史卻因短祚與處於南北朝(420-589)及唐朝(618-907)的夾縫中,缺乏作為研究對象的主體性與獨立性,此現象在思想文化史領域尤其明顯。為充分利用既有成果,並推展未來研究,具批判意識的研究回顧有其重要性。本文按主題將相關成果分為佛教史、王通研究、學術史與意識形態研究四類,評述其得失貢獻,並根據這些成果,提出一些有益於觀察隋代思想文化史獨特性的思考。文末另附有「隋代思想文化史研究書目舉隅(1945-2010)」,除列舉正文中出現的研究著作外,亦包含未出現在正文中,而值得參考的隋代思想文化史著述。
This paper offers a thematic survey of current scholarship on Sui intellectual history. The Sui Dynasty (581-617), although significant for re-unifying China after a 300-year period of disunity, has been underestimated by modern scholars. This is due to two reasons. On the one hand, the Sui existed for only 38 years. On the other, this fugacious dynasty reigned between two long-abiding periods: the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) as well as the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Under such circumstances, the history of the Sui itself has been overshadowed. This is especially true in the case of intellectual history. In order to draw attention to existing research, this paper thematically reviews associated studies of Sui intellectual history in four categories: the history of Buddhism, researches on Wang Tong (Wenzhongzi), the history of scholastic activities, and studies on ideology. Based on the literature review, this paper also offers some thoughts concerning the characteristic nature of intellectual history under the Sui. ”A selected bibliography of studies on Sui intellectual history” is appended at the end of the paper.
