马克思主义与日本古希腊罗马史研究

Marxism and the Study of Greco-Roman History in Japan

马克思主义对日本古希腊罗马史研究存在持续影响。20世纪20年代,日本一些进步历史学者就开始运用马克思主义研究古希腊罗马史。二战后,日本兴起了一股马克思主义史学热潮,太田秀通、土井正兴、弓削达等日本古希腊罗马史学者就古代阶级斗争、古希腊罗马社会性质及古代西欧社会形态转化等问题提出了一系列富有创见的理论。20世纪80年代后,传统马克思主义史学研究受到冲击,但仍有日本学者在唯物史观指导下进行具体问题研究,马克思主义转变为一种研究方法,在日本古希腊罗马史研究中发挥了更广泛作用。百年来,马克思主义能够持续对日本古希腊罗马史研究产生影响,既体现了日本学者追求进步的热情和开放视野,也体现了马克思主义本身的科学性和重要指导意义。

Marxism has had a lasting impact on studies of Greco-Roman history in Japan.In the 1920s,some progressive Japanese historians began to apply Marxism to the study of Greco-Roman history.After World War II,a trend of Marxist historiography emerged in Japan.Japanese Scholars of Greco-Roman history,such as Hidemichi Ohta,Masaoki Doi,and Toru Yuge,have put forward a series of innovative theories on issues such as ancient class struggle,the nature of ancient Greek and Roman society,and the transformation of social forms in ancient Western Europe.After the 1980s,traditional Marxist historiography studies faced challenges,but Japanese scholars began to study specific issues under the guidance of historical materialism.As such,Marxism was transformed into a research method in the study of Greco-Roman history in Japan.Over the past century,the enduring influence of Marxism on the study of ancient Greek and Roman history in Japan reflects the progressive enthusiasm and open-mindedness of Japanese scholars.This development is the embodiment of the scientific nature and significant guiding value of Marxism itself.
