錢穆對儒家學術思想的反省主要可以反應在他對孔子與《論語》的研究典範」與「學術類型」上。錢穆認為孔子與《論語》正是揭示一個完整的儒家學術原型與人格成德的典範。本文希望對錢穆「孔學」（並以《論語新解》為核心開展）的「研究典範」與「學術類型」提出較完整的評價，並對考察對當代中國學術思想的意義與啟發。
本論文定位於「錢穆『孔學』之『思想』研究」。重點在討論錢穆其人其學的「基源問題」與作為其人其學核心處的「孔學」所體現的「研究典範」和「學術範型」。 本文並共分六篇逐一開展。一、【緒論篇】：討論本文的撰寫策略。二、【文獻反省篇】：考察當代中國學術思想對孔子與《論語》的遺忘。三、【治學方法篇】：將錢穆之學，定位於一個「述而不作」、「下學而上達」與「歷史文化哲學」的治學進路。四、【明體篇】：考察錢穆本《論語新解》的「本義學」所開展的「孔學」的體系。五、【辨相篇】：考察一個「孔子－朱子－錢穆」學脈論的成型。六、【評價篇】：考察錢穆「孔學」的意義、啟發、解題潛力。七、【結語篇】：指出錢穆「孔學」的永恆境界與後續、未盡之業。
Quian Mu’ s reflection of academic research and method can mainly be shown in the field of the study of the Confucius and Analects.
