挑战与新生:20世纪90年代以来中国马克思主义史学的进路

Challenges and Rebirth:The Approach of Chinese Marxist Historiography Since the 1990s

20世纪90年代以后的中国马克思主义史学进入了一个深度调整时期。马克思主义史学继续致力于去教条化,逐步告别经学模式和经学思维,走上科学求真之路,着手建构本土化的历史体系。面对实证史学的复兴,马克思主义史学以包容态度认可其合理性与有效性。对于西方史学的冲击和挑战,马克思主义史学借鉴与批判并重,但历史观的冲突仍难以调和。马克思主义史学还与“告别革命论”和所谓“历史虚无主义”思潮展开针锋相对的论争。在新的语境中马克思主义史学的地位得到突出和强化。未来中国马克思主义史学的命运取决于其自我变革、自我突破的勇气和能力以及角色和定位的转换。

Since the 1990 s,Chinese Marxist historiography has entered into a period of profound adjustment.It has continued to focus on de-dogmatization,gradually given up the mode and thinking of learning classics,and started to construct a localized historical system.Facing the revival of positive historiography,Marxist historiography has accepted its rationality and validity with an inclusive attitude.For the impact and challenge of Western historiography,Marxist historiography draws lessons and makes criticisms at the same time,but the conflict of historical views is still difficult to reconcile.Besides,Marxist historiography has entered into a tit-for-tit debate with the theory of “farewell to revolution” and the so-called historical nihilism.Its position has been highlighted and strengthened in the new context.In the future,the fate of Chinese Marxist historiography will depend on its courage and ability to realize self-transformation and self-breakthrough as well as the transition of its role and positioning.
