论世界历史整体的复杂性

A Talk on the Complexity of World History in Its Entirety

复杂性是世界历史整体的基本属性之一,主要表现在世界历史本身所具有的自组织性、各种过程的交叉融合、关联因素的不断增加以及发展路向的不确定性等。文章运用复杂学的理论范式和方法,把世界历史整体当作一个复杂巨系统来进行研究,揭示了世界历史整体的复杂性的一般特征,试图对世界历史整体的复杂性有一个更加科学、更加清晰的认识。

Complexity, one of the basic attributes of world history in its entirety, is mainly manifest in the self-structure peculiar to world history, in the inter-fusion of various processes, in the increasing addition of relevant factors and the indefiniteness of the developmental course, etc. By studying world history in its entirety as a great complex system via the theoretic paradigm and methods of complexology, this paper attempts to study the general features of complexity of world history in its entirety so as to secure a more scientific and clear comprehension of the complexity of world history in its entirety.
