无论西东 敏于批判——读邓京力等著《近二十年西方史学理论与历史书写》

RemainingTrue to Our Original Aspiration Undoubtedly and BeingGood at Criticism:Review of Western Historical Theory and Writing in Recent 20 Years by Deng Jingli

邓京力把史学研究从国内拓展到西方,持续关注理论问题。其《近二十年西方史学理论与历史书写》始终贯穿着一根主线,那就是西方后现代主义史学理论及其遭受的批评和实际影响。作者看问题不失于片面和简单,具有强烈的批判意识,有着中国学者的独立判断,给读者提供了诸多的启发,而在涉及一些概念的内涵和处延的界定时,也给读者留下了一些值得思考的问题。

D Deng Jingli’s historical research has expanded from China to the West,and he continues to pay attention to theoretical issues.This book has always run through a main thread,that is,the western postmodernist historical theory and its criticism and practical influence.The author does not lose sight of the problem in a one-sided and simple way.He has a strong sense of criticism and the independent judgment of Chinese scholars,leaving readers with useful inspirations.
