从“事实世界”到“思想世界”——柯林武德的历史叙事论

From “World of Facts” to “World of Thoughts” : Collingwood's Historical Narrative Theory

20世纪20年代,柯林武德的史学观念发生了反实在论的转变,这种转变影响了他的历史叙事理论。他将历史叙事视为一种"先验的想象",蕴含了叙述者的视角和目的论,凸显为历史事实的组合功能。在真实性方面,他超越了用"事实世界"检验个别事实的真假,而代之以"想象构造的网",藉此融合"事实世界"与"思想世界"。另外,他反思了一种构造论的历史证据观,阐释了它的伦理内涵和史学方法论。

1920s witnessed an anti-realism turn in Collingwood＇s historical philosophy which shifted him to his historical narrative theory. He sees historical narrative as a ＂transcendental imagination＂ which contains the narrator＇s perspective and theology, highlighting the assemblage of historical facts. As for truth, he goes beyond the authentication of single fact with ＂world of facts＂ and replaces it with a ＂network made up by imagination＂ which integrates ＂world of facts＂ and ＂world of thoughts＂ . In addition, he reflects the constructionism-based view on historical evidence, expounding tis ethic connotation and historical methodology.
