近代中国知识分子的命运观研究：以时人日记 中的占卜记载为例
以《严复日记》、《吴虞日 记》、《吴宓日记》等日记史料中的占卜记载为切入点，探讨清末民国之时两代中国知识分子的命运观。这些知识分 子是所谓反封建的领袖或留学生的代表，具有西方背 景，思想上认同西方，但他们在生活实践中的态度却与之相反，特别在人生 的某些时刻，需要借助占卜等手段度过，中国自古以来的命运观在此起了关键作用。也就是说，他们的思想和他们的生活实践、生活态度之间是断裂的，自古传承的命运观已经 成为贯穿他们生活实践的习惯，而他们对西方思想的接近则成为一 种下意识的努力。从中西思想交汇和命运观、能动性的角度考察，这样的断裂非常具有学术探究价值。所以，本 研究计划以此为重点，展开深入细致的分析和探索，以求得出若干有意义的结论，从而对国际人文研究中心的总体项目有所贡献。
