试论历史意识的整体性观念及其现实意义

On the Holistic Concept of Historical Consciousness and Its Practical Significance

在历史哲学的视野中,历史的整体性首先在于历史意识的整体性,也与作为人类认识的结果、历史意义密不可分。与之对应,人类文明社会的历史发展过程作为一种可以进行规律性叙述与阐释的整体,其内在的整体性特征表现在三个方面:时间维度上的整体历史性,地理空间上的全球性,文明本身的分层次的整体性。因而,在整体性历史意识下,要探索历史事件发生的规律,还需要具有层次性的文明历史结构的细化了解,它也是人类历史意识是否健全的重要特征;而且,历史意识自身的历史也是具有整体性的。历史意识的整体性观念对于我们今天建立人类命运共同体具有重要的历史启示与理论价值。

From the perspective of historical philosophy,the integrity of history lies first in the integrity of historical consciousness,which is also closely related to the result and historical significance of human cognition.Correspondingly,the historical development process of human civilization as a whole can be described and explained regularly,and its inherent holistic characteristics are manifested in three aspects:the holistic historicity in time dimension,the globality in geographical space,and the hierarchical holism of civilization itself.Therefore,in the sense of holistic history,in order to explore the law of the occurrence of historical events,we need a detailed understanding of the hierarchical structure of civilization and history,which is also an important feature of whether human historical consciousness is sound or not.Moreover,the history of historical consciousness itself is holistic.The holistic concept of historical consciousness has important historical enlightenment and theoretical value for us to establish the community of human destiny today.
