勞思光教授在其《中國哲學史》中，提出「基源問題研究法」作為中國哲學史的研究方法，此誠為一重要的方法論主張。基源問題研究法實乃綜合了發生研究法、系統研究法及解析研究法，再配合其特有之基源問題及設準而完成。不幸的是，基源問題研究法既無法提供尋找基源問題及設準的客觀程序，同時其設準的提出也缺乏周延性，此為其主要的缺失。本文即在說明此義，並提出進一步的建議。

　　　　　Ill his History of Chinese Philosophy, Prof, Sze-kwang Lao maintains that the "fundamental-question method" &.& K-Wt.-fk is the best approach to the history of Chinese philosophy. The "fundamental-question method" consists of two parts: one is a synthesis of genetic, systematic, and analytic method, and the other includes fundamental-questions and postulates. But Lao offers no practical methodology for locating the fundamental questions and postulates or for legitimizing those postulates ,This is the major problematic of his "fundamental-question method".
