“全球史”与人文政治教育的危机

“Global History”and the Crisis of Humanistic-political Education

随着我国进入美国主导的“世界市场”,美国化的“全球史”学也适时进入我国走向开放的学术和教育空间。就史学视域而言,“全球史”与“世界史”并无不同,决定性的差异在于用怎样的政治观念看待整个人类的经历。“全球史”是18世纪启蒙运动时期“世界大同主义”的产物,其教育目的是培养“世界公民”意识。一旦“全球史”成为我国大学的世界史教学内容,我们的年轻人丧失“中国意识”就是迟早的事情。

As China entered the global market established with the leadership of the United States,an Americanized“global history”opportunely sprung up when Chinese academia and its educational spaces were opening up.In terms of historiographical vision,“global history”and“world history”are not dissimilar,but they are different in terms of through what political point of view the entire human experience shall be examined.“Global history”derives from the“cosmopolitanism”of the Enlightenment period in the 18 th century with the purpose of cultivating“world citizens.”As soon as“global history”makes its way into the curriculum of world history in China,sooner rather than later will the young generation of Chinese intellectuals lose their inherent historical consciousness of China.
