弥合现代与后现代史学理论的可能途径——以约恩·吕森的学科范型论为中心

Possible Ways to Bridge the Modern and Postmodern Theory of History:Centering on the Conception of Jorn Riisen's Disciplinary Matrix

现代主义与后现代主义史学理论研究一直以来存在着深刻的理论分野,中西学界对此问题都作出纷繁各异的理论回应与分析。约恩·吕森是当今国际学界具有代表性的史学理论家之一,他对此的主张是走一条介于现代主义和后现代主义之间的中间路线,一方面我们需要现代主义的确定性为我们提供导向,另一方面我们必须认识到后现代主义为历史思考所作的拓展和深化。在具体的理论分析中,吕森以学科范型论为中心对现代和后现代的理论差异进行了分析、弥合,认为在人类历史意识发展的高度和历史研究的人文关怀以及伦理维度上,两者之间的认同多于冲突。吕森的研究态度将理性这个后现代所批判的现代性维度恰与其本身结构性地关联起来。学科范型论在吕森的逻辑中是自足的,但在具体运用中,会有其自身的局限性。

There is a profound theoretical distinction between the modern and the postmodern historical theory,and Chinese and Western scholars give quite different responses and analyses.Jorn Rtisen,one of the international representative historical theorists,advocates finding the centrism between modernism and postmodernism.On one hand,the guidance of the certainty of modernism is necessary;on another hand,we must realize that postmodernism expands and deepens historical thinking.In specific theory analysis level,Rtisen analyzes and bridges the gap between the modern and postmodern historical thinking with the conception of disciplinary matrix.In terms of the development of human consciousness as well as the humanistic concern and ethical dimension of historical study,the theoretical identifications between the modern and postmodern historical studies are more than the theoretical differences.R(u|¨)sen's attitude of studying structurally connects the 'reason' that the postmodernism criticizes with the modern dimension.The disciplinary matrix is selfsufficient in R(u|¨)sen's logic,but it has its limitations in the specific applications.
