武训研究的回顾与展望

从上世纪80年代初至上世纪末近20年的时间,对武训的研究大体上可以划分为两个阶段从1980年《齐鲁学刊》第四期发表张经济《希望给武训平反》的读者来信,到1986年国务院《关于为武训恢复名誉的批复》的下达前后为第一个阶段;从1986年前后到1995年召开第二次全国武训研讨会前后为第二个阶段。就武训和武训精神的研究来说,我们应该从两个方面入手进行深入研究。其一,对鲁西北大运河沿岸具体的政治、经济、文化、教育等方面做进一步综合性的考察和分析,以深入研究武训及其精神产生的必然性和真实性。其二,在研究方法上,应该采取政治学的、历史学的、社会学的等跨学科的研究方法,客观地分析武训的各种社会关系,以夯实武训成就义学事业的社会基础。

A Revision and Prediction of the Study of Wu Xun

In the last two decades of last century, the study of Wu Xun falls roughly into two stages, with the first ranging from the 1980 when the fourth issue of Qilu Journal issued a reader’s letter by Zhang Jingji Hoping to Redress Wu Xun’s Case to the 1986 when the State Council approved Reply on Restoration of Reputation for Wu Xun and the second ranging from 1986 to 1995 when the Second National Symposium on Wu Xun was held. As far as the study of Wu Xun and his spirit is concerned, we should advance the study from the following two perspectives. The first perspective is to make a more comprehensive exploration and analysis of the specific political, economic, cultural, and educational developments along the both sides of the Grand Canal in northwestern Shandong in order to probe further into the inevitability and truthfulness of appearance of Wu Xun and his spirit; and the second is to adopt political, his torical, sociological and other such interdisciplinary research methods to make an objective analysis of the various social relations entan gling him so as to tamp the social foundations upon which his free private school were established.
