本文以廿世紀後半期台灣地區先秦史學界,幾項引發熱烈討論的課題進行評述;另以遷台後台灣史學界所培養的三位先秦史學者為例,分析比較三位學者的學思路數及個人研究領域中可能面臨的困境。 先秦史的研究,牽涉太多難解又無法避免的核心問題;從兩漢以來,學者紛呈己說。隨著新出資料的不斷發現,解釋先秦史的方法與結論,便日益推新;但基本上仍保留在傳統架構的思維中。 民國初年的「古史辨運動」,大體可以算是傳統先秦史研究與近代先秦史研究的「分水嶺」;隨後方興未艾的考古學持續深化了這個領域的研究。但儘管如此,先秦史仍存在許多「有爭議而難解,但又待解的問題」文中最後對台灣先秦史學界提出一些期望。
This text discusses on the region of pre-Ch'in historiography in twentieth century latter half of Taiwan, several items topic that caused to be discussed warmly and commented. Another with three researchers of Taiwanese pre-Ch'in historiography for example, to analyze and compare their thinking is counted and may face predicament in the personal research field.
