黑格尔的世界历史观——《历史哲学》绪论解读

Hegel's Viewpoints on the World History——An Interpretation of Introduction to "Philosophy of History"

黑格尔的"世界历史"概念既不同于"普遍的人类历史"又不同于一般历史学的"世界通史"。黑格尔"世界历史"概念的特定内涵集中于《历史哲学》的绪论部分。黑格尔认为,世界历史是一种合理的过程,其合理性体现在精神自身发展的辩证历程之中。因为精神自身的发展是一个辩证的过程,所以现实的世界历史行程也是一个辩证的过程。这一思想成为了马克思世界历史理论的重要源头。

Hegel has given the concept of world history a specific connotation, which is different from ＂universal human history ＂ and also different from ＂the history of world＂. Hegel ＇s viewpoints focus on introduction of ＂philosophy of history ＂. In this paper, Hegel thinks that the world history is a rational process, and its rationality is embodied in dialectical development of spirit. And the development of spirit is a dialectical process, so the real world history is a dialectical process.
