评何炳松对西方史学理论和方法论的译介

On He Bingsong's Translation and Introduction of Western Historical Studies and Methodology

何炳松是较早倡导西方史学理论和方法论的学者。他率先将美国鲁滨逊的“新史学”理论和方法论向国人作较为全面系统的介绍 ,又结合中国传统史学理论 ,对西方史学中的史学学科理论进行译介和阐释 ;在使西方史学和民族史学相结合方面作出了种种努力。但他未能完全熔铸成自己新的学理 。

He Bingsong is an advocate of the Western historiography and methodology from 1920's to 1930's in China. He introduces The New History founded by James Harvey Robison to Chinese people at the earliest. He also expresses some new viewpoints on the Western historiography. He tries to construct the system of historiography theory basing on the goodness of Sino-Western historiography, but he does not succeed in it.
