碩士 / 東海大學 / 社會學系 / 103 / This thesis centers upon the key concept of ‘academic tradition’, and investigates into the developmental process of Sociology in Taiwan by way of revisiting some historical scenes with an accentuation on the author’s personal perspectives. The major issue of concern in this research is: what Western academic traditions had been inherited by the first generation of Taiwanese Sociologists, and how they tried to transfer, and then localize these traditions in both China and Taiwan.
There are two layers in the strategy of writing: First, case studies on historical facts; through the works and documents of/about Lung Kuan-Hai, Ling Chun-Sheng, and Wei Huei-Lin, the Western academic traditions they had acquired are gathered and displayed, and the ways they managed to transfer those learnings to and have them localized in the East innovatively are explored. Second, uplifting the scope of discourse to the level of the general; three types of ideas regarding the creation of academic traditions are proposed accordingly, including ‘Constructing the Environment’, ‘Teaching through Oral Delivery and Behavioral Models’, as well as ‘Passing Ideas through Books and Writings’. As tools for analysis, they serve as foundations for the author to evaluate the methods, effects, and difficulties of establishing academic traditions, so as to further reflect upon the current mainstream methodology of localization.
The way this thesis examines this historical progress is in no way limited by the framework of the past. Instead, it seeks to respond to the current situation of sociological studies in Taiwan via investigations into the history. From methodological angles, it aims to weigh the studies on the history of Sociology in contemporary Taiwan, with certain extended arguments about the localization of Sociology included. The author of the thesis holds the opinion that the evolution of Sociology in both China and Taiwan has focused too much on the investigative techniques all the way. Investigations do not guarantee a complete presentation or representation of the society in which we live. Their restrictions will only get worse within contemporary social context. Hence, this thesis contends that sociological scholars should make effort to regain ‘history’, in order to make up for the insufficiency of the investigative approach.
