本文主要在探討兩個問題：第一，扮演革命家與學者雙重角色、在清末民初具有 思潮代表性的激烈的政治主張者章太炎，如何在總結大清帝國思想遺產這一角度上 -- 尤其 是在與他有深厚淵源的作為清朝學術思潮主流的考據學方面，去理解與闡釋考證學的代表性 學者戴震 (1724-1777)。 第二，作為轉型期中國 (1895-1925) 的代表性思想家章太炎，在 處身於中華帝國終結前後、並自覺地對有清一朝的思想發展過程提出批判性地反省之際，主 要是基於何種意識形態或世界觀，而將「戴震」轉化或建立成一個社會文化生產場域，並產 生了我們這一時代的重要的知識論述 (intellectual discourse)。

　　　　　This essay mainly deals with two problems through the study of Chang Tai-yen (1869-1936), one of the most radical revolutionaries as well as the most prestigious Confucian scholar in the late Ch'ing China. The first concerns how Chang understood and interpreted the great Kao-cheng learning master Tai Chen (1724-1777) in terms of the perspective of Chang's role of concluding the last chapter of intellectual heritage of the Ch'ing empire. The second problem is how Chang, a representative thinker in the "transitional period" (1895-1925) of modern China and the leading Kao-cheng scholar in the last decades of the nineteen century China, turns the study of Tai Chen into the field of so-called "cultural production", namely the Tai Chen learning. As it is now known, Tai Chen learning has become one of the major intellectual discourses of our times in the post-Chang Tai-yen period.
