在语文学、历史主义与诗学之间——论18世纪德国东方学的创生

Between Philology,Historicism,and Poetics:On the Emergence of Orientalism in 18^(th) Century Germany

德国因其自身的政治、地域与文化特点而走上了一条不同于英法的东方学研究路线。在坚持传统神学的基础上,德国学者利用自身的严谨性,结合英法等国家的先进思想与资料,推陈出新,在《圣经》文本上开发出三种新的研究可能性,即语文学、历史学与诗学的研究潜质,使得德国东方学具有强烈的文本化与历史化倾向,从而进一步丰富了东方学的研究视角。

Germany embarked on a line of Oriental studies distinct from that of Britain and France due to its unique political,geographical,and cultural characteristics.Building upon traditional theology,German scholars integrated advanced ideas and materials of Britain and France with rigor and developed three new research possibilities on the Biblical text,namely,the research potentials of philology,history,and poetics,which endowed the German Orientalism with a strong tendency to textualization and historicization,thereby enriching the scholarly perspective of Orientalist research.
