西方文艺复兴史三大研究热点述评（续）

本文是《西方文艺复兴史三大研究热点述评》① 的续篇。三大研究热点分别是 :以社会生活为焦点的文化史研究 ,以人神对话为线索的思想史研究和以风格为主题的文学艺术研究。本文在评述学术界对家族史、新柏拉图主义、和谐与冲创的文学艺术创作风格等的研究动态时 ,也表达了自己对上述问题的基本想法和近年来的研究成果。     

阿拉伯哲学对西欧文艺复联的影响

阿拉伯哲学将古希腊亚里士多德的学说、新柏拉图主义和传入的其他哲学思想与自身传统融会贯通,形成富于自身特色的阿拉伯——伊斯兰哲学体系。中世纪晚期,阿拉伯哲学经由西班牙和西西里岛这两个主要途径,通过翻译运动回哺西欧,对西欧文艺复兴运动的兴起和深化产生重要影响。     

欧洲经验对解决中日历史问题的启示及其局限

有过战争经历的国家进行共同历史研究、共同编写历史教科书,以达成历史共识与和解,促进和平友好关系的重建,在欧洲有着较长的历史.第二次世界大战之后德国与法国、德国与波兰的教科书合作被认为取得了很大的成功.欧洲经验可以在宏观认识和具体策略上给中日共同历史研究和教科书合作提供有益的借鉴,但中日历史问题有着更为复杂的历史和现实成因,在许多方面无法复制欧洲经验,中日历史问题的解决需要参与各方做出富有创造性的努力.     

Neither a Discipline nor a Colony: Renaissance and Re-imagination in Economic History

After years in the wilderness, economic history is becoming fashionable once more. Intellectual shifts by its parent disciplines of history and economics, the failed experiment of economic history as a separate discipline, and the impact of major economic events have conspired to produce a renaissance in the field of study in the last decade and a half. We explain these changes and show that economic history derives its main strength from its role as an interdisciplinary research field that draws upon and integrates with its closest disciplines. We analyse the nature and recent progress of economic history in Australia and offer a prospective for its future role.     

口述史二题:记忆与诠释

记忆问题主要是指记忆的可靠性问题,或者从另外一个角度说是口述史学的客观性问题。口述历史的诠释性是口述历史的哲学理论基础,它为其作为历史研究方法的价值性存在提供哲学层面的论述。记忆问题和诠释性是口述史学研究中的两个核心要点,对它们的研究直接关系到口述史学研究范式的形态和深度。     

History of European ideas

This essay explores one of the potential implications of the cross-displinary work implied in the idea of a literary instrument of enlightenment through a consideration of the relationship between James Macpherson's The Poems of Ossian (1761–1763) and their most immediate social-political context, Adam Ferguson's Essay on the History of Civil Society (1769). It notes that revisionism of Macpherson that has tended to minimise the disruptive elements in Ossian in favour of a reading in terms of cultural wishfulfilment. The essay argues however that while Macpherson's prose theorising seeks to transcend the anxieties about progress and corruption articulated in the Essay, the peoms themselves offer eloquent testimony to the force of those anxieties, and rather than solving them restates them in pressing terms. This, the essay concludes by suggesting, is a measure of their literariness, and it not to be elided in the otherwise entirely appropriate reading of Ossian as a literary instrument of enlightenment.
