爱德华·汤普森的伦理激进主义及其遗产

E.P.Thompson's Ethical Radicalism and Its Heritage

汤普森思想的本质是一种伦理激进主义,他不仅受到马克思主义的影响,也受到英国本土许多社会主义和非社会主义思想传统的影响。尽管其理论存在某些模糊性,汤普森对政治生活的积极参与,及其对民主辩论的倡导都是弥足珍贵的财富,而其思想遗产的消散既是巨大的理论损失,也是巨大的政治损失。

The essence of E.P. Thompsonian thought is an ethical radicalism. He was influenced not only by Marxism but also by many of socialist and non-socialist traditions indigenous to England.In spite of indistictness in his theory,Thompson actively participated in both political affaire and academic debate. The demise of his heritage is a grave political and intellectual lose.
