罗素史学思想中的逻辑原子主义理路

Logical Atomism in Bertrand Russell’s Historical Thought

伯特兰·罗素的史学思想与其逻辑原子主义思想之间存在着密切联系。他在历史领域提出的“历史推动力”与其逻辑原子主义的思想是一致的；罗素在对历史规律的认识和阐述上，也表现出了对于概率论的借助；同时，他指出历史的价值不在于事实，这符合逻辑原子主义对语言哲学的定位。

Bertrand Russell’s historical thought was closely related to his theory of logical atomism. His idea of"the driving force of the development of history" was consistent with his theory of logical atomism. Russell’s understanding and explanation of the laws of history also relied significantly on the probability theory. In addition, he pointed out that the value of history did not lie in truth-finding, which matched the logical atomism’s comprehension of linguistic philosophy.
