摘　　要：薛爱华是美国20世纪下半叶道教研究的开拓者与重要人物。缘于个人兴趣、裨补学术阙漏的动机,以及欧洲学者的影响,薛爱华于20世纪70年代步入道教研究之门。几十年间,薛爱华对美国道教研究贡献甚巨。这不仅表现在他对文献译注、名物考证、名山研究(《唐代的茅山》)、道教文学研究等领域的成果上,还体现在他以人类学“文化区域”研究为特点的道教研究范式、对道教文学研究这一新领域所做的奠基,以及道教教学和弟子的培养上。总体上看,薛爱华通过科研与教学活动开辟了美国道教研究的新天地。Edward Hetzel Schafer(1913—1991) was a pioneer and important figure of American Taoist studies during the second half of the 20th century.Motivated by personal interests,a desire to remedy academic deficiencies,and the influences of the Europeans scholars,Schafer began the study of Taoism during the 1970s.For several decades,he made great contributions to American Taoist studies,which are presented not only in his achievements in the field of translation and annotation of Taoist canons,his studies of antiquities,of famous mountains(Mao Shan in T'ang Times),and of Taoist literature,but also in his anthropological and cultural approach to Taoism,the foundation for the new field of Taoist literary studies,his Taoist teaching practices and disciple cultivation.Overall,through his research and teaching activities,Schafer ushered in a new era of American Taoist studies.
