从事件概念看曼德尔鲍姆的历史客观性思想

On the Thought of the Historical Objectivity of Mandelbaum from the Concept of Event

曼德尔鲍姆的事件概念囊括了其历史客观性的全部内涵。但是这个关键概念却来自于科学,它表示由统一性和连续性渗透的持续存在物,这一点体现为存在性依赖关系。存在性依赖关系表示事件间固有的因果联系,因此具有客观性;而事件可以表示一切发生的事实,因此具有普遍性。历史事件是诸多事件种类中的一种,因此同样具有了客观性。对事件概念的分析有助于理解曼德尔鲍姆的历史知识客观性,这种客观性的本质在于对历史事件及其实际结构作出描述性分析,也帮助我们了解分析历史哲学带有的科学特色。

Mandelbaum’s concept of event includes all of his connotations of historical objectivity.Originated from science,the concept expresses the enduring things pervaded by unity and continuity,which embodies as the relation of existential dependence.This kind of relation expresses the causal connections inherent in the events.Hence,it has objectivity.Moreover,the event can express all the facts that happened.Thus,it has universality.An historical event is one of the various kinds of events.It therefore has objectivity as well.The analysis of the concept of event helps us understand Mandelbaum’s objectivity of historical knowledge whose essence lies in our descriptive analysis of the historical events and their actual structures,and benefits us to know the scientific characteristics of analytic philosophy of history as well.
