本文研究了秘书工作起源的逻辑起点和秘书学的学科体系定位问题，认为文书工作是秘书工作起源的逻辑起点。明乎此，既可弥补过去研究秘书工作起源单纯从外部条件入手而忽视内部规律的不足，又能为研究中国秘书史确立一个正确的基点。秘书学在学科体系定应上应是人文科学中管理学的分支。 This paper studies the logic starting point of secretarial work and the positioning of subject system of secretarial science. It considers that paperwork is the logical starting point of the origin of secretarial work. In light of this, we can make up for the shortcomings that the origin of the research secretary’s work simply started from the external conditions while ignoring the internal laws, and establish a correct starting point for the study of the history of Chinese secretaries. Secretarial science should be a branch of management science in the humanities in the disciplinary system.
