环境史学的历史批判思想

Historic Critical Thought of Environment History Science

环境史学是对 2 0世纪西方史学的继承与发展 ,其研究内容主要是考察人类及其创造的各种社会与之存在于其中的环境、生态系统之间的关系演变及其后果。明确的批判态度是其显著征候 ,尤其对西方文化的主流价值观念的批判最为集中和猛烈。目前的环境史学正突破始初的道德诉求和伦理色彩 ,深入到文明发展和环境变迁的动态过程之中 ,全面探讨人与自然和人与人之间错综复杂的关系 ,在人类拯救地球家园并自救的探索中起着重要作用。因而 ,综合了新社会学与生态学取向并立足于具体研究的环境史学批判 ,既有学术价值又有现实意义。
