明治时代日本人的世界历史观念

The Conception of World History in the Period of Meiji Restoration

世界历史观念不仅与民族文化反省密切相连,更直接影响着该国民的自我定位及前瞻未来的方向与行动力.明治时代,日本人的世界历史观念经历了三个阶段的变化:一是以"万国史为世界史";二是"以欧洲史为世界史";三是通过"东洋史的构建",赋予世界历史观念新的内涵.在前两个阶段中,日本人侧重民族文化反省及进取精神;后一阶段则表明日本企图在亚洲及世界国际关系格局中为自己重新定位.

The conception of world history is not only closed to the self-examination of the national culture, but also influences its people＇ s future activities. In the period of Meiji Restoration, the conception changed three times. First, it appears the collection of Guobieshi. Then, it treated ＂European history＂ as world history. In these two stages, Japanese emphasized the national self-examination and enterprising spirit. When Meiji Restoration succeeded, Japanese tried to redirect its position in the Asia and international relationships by the making of toyoshi.
