观念史抑或概念史——评《观念史研究:中国现代重要政治术语的形成》

The History of Ideas or the History of Concepts:the Evaluation of the Book the Research of the History of Ideas:the Formation of the Important Political Terms of the Modern Chinese History of Ideas

从整体上看,金观涛、刘青峰两位教授所著的《观念史研究》一书体现的作为思想史研究方法的观念史方法论与剑桥学派的英美观念史研究方法和海德堡学派的德国概念史研究方法均有许多相通之处,但是更类似于后者。这种方法论倾向预示着汉语概念史的可能性路径。而只有真正理解国外概念史研究方法并具备自身方法论的自觉,才能铸就汉语概念史的范式。所以,汉语概念史研究才刚刚开始,是一项未竟的事业。

As a whole,the methodology of history of concepts which is advocated by Professor Jin Guantao and Professor Liu Qingfeng embodied in a book of 'the History of ideas' has many similarities with the history of ideas of Anglo-American research methods as Cambridge School and the history of concepts of the German methods as Heidelberg School,but more similar to the latter.This methodology tends to indicate the possibility of path with Chinese history of concepts.Only truly understanding the research methods of the history of concepts abroad and having its own consciousness about the methodology,can it cast the Chinese paradigm of the history of concepts.Therefore,the research of the Chinese history of concepts is just a beginning,and an unfinished business.
