近现代中国对埃及历史与现代化道路的研究——基于构建中国自主的世界史知识体系的思考

Research on Egyptian History and Path to Modernization in Modern and Contemporary China:Reflection on Building China’s Independent Intellectual System of World History

2022年是埃及学诞生200周年。埃及学虽然已有200年的历史,但是作为一门探究古代历史、了解人类文明走向的学问,仍然生机勃勃,极富魅力,研究前景广阔。从日本学者柴四郎著的《埃及近世史》中译本问世至今已有120年历史,中国学者对埃及历史与现代化道路的研究愈来愈深入系统。在历史巨变中透过中国的埃及史研究,可以得出世界现代化进程某些规律性、普遍性的理论认识。中国的埃及史研究是在中华民族遭受前所未有之劫难的历史背景下萌生的,在其主流发展中,始终表现出与中国政治、经济、文化和社会发展同呼吸、共命运的特点和优点。作为中国的世界史学者,要牢记世界历史学在新时代的新使命,不断深入推进中国的埃及史研究,为加快构建中国自主的知识体系、构建中国特色哲学社会科学作出积极贡献。
