萧公权先生是一位仙风道骨的学人,颇有些道家的风采,个头不高,“麻雀般的精神,总是跳跳跃跃的”。他出身哲学,研究政治学,又能兼及历史,自然较传统派更上层楼。他以所受的西方政治学训练研究中国政治思想史,后来居上,成就一学科的扛鼎之作。研究与政治密切相关的政治学,他没有像同时代很多人一样涉身政界,却常有政论见诸报端,自嘲曰“是亦为政”。 Mr. Xiao Gongquan is a scholar of the Sage, quite a few Taoist style, not tall, “Sparrow-like spirit, always jumping leap ”. He was born in philosophy, political science, but also both history, naturally more than the traditional school to a higher level. With the Western political sciences he trained to study the history of Chinese political thought, he came from behind to succeed in carrying a subject. Studying politics closely related to politics, he did not get involved in politics like many others in the same age. However, he often made political inquiries in the newspapers and self-deprecatingly claimed that “politics is also political.”
