历史与记忆——维柯“诗性智慧”再思考

History and Memory——Reconsideration over the “Poetic Wisdom” of Vico

与笛卡尔哲学不同,维柯探究一种系统性的人类社会历史及其演化,企图建立"关乎各民族共同性"的历史哲学;他以"诗性智慧"论证了人类文化的起源,将"诗性智慧"视为世界历史中最初的智慧,是记忆、感情、心智与精神的凝结;透过"诗性智慧"把握历史与文化的内在本质,对人们认识历史具有启发意义。

Different from philosophy of Descartes,Vico explores a systematic history of human society and its evolution in an attempt to establish a philosophy of history that is ＂relevant to the national commonality＂. He elaborates the origin of human culture with ＂poetic wisdom＂,regarding ＂poetic wisdom＂as the original wisdom in the world history which is the condensation of memory,emotion,mind and spirit.Grasping the inherent essence of history and culture through ＂poetic wisdom＂is of illuminating significance for people to understand history.
