德意志民族性格的形成

Formation of the German national character

德意志民族是一个严谨、理性,同时对纪律与世俗权力顶礼膜拜的民族。本文从德意志统一历史出发,分析重要历史时期和事件对民族性格的影响。德意志统一历史可划分为16至17世纪宗教改革时期、17至18世纪启蒙运动时期以及18世纪至第一次世界大战霍亨索伦王朝统治时期三个阶段。此外,本文还尝试从地理环境的角度对民族性格的形成进行分析。通过对德意志民族性格形成的讨论有助于理解其"理性与极端"、"高思维能力与奴性服从"并存的矛盾性与双重性。

The German nation is a nation, rigorous, rational, worship discipline and secular power. From the perspective of the history of German unification, this paper analyzes the impact of important historical periods and events on the national character. The history of German unification can be divided into three stages: from 16th to 17th Century, during the period of religious reform, from 17th to 18th Century, and during the period of 18th Century to the first World War, during the reign of Hohenzolern. In addition, this paper also tries to analyze the formation of national character from the perspective of geographical environment. To discuss the formation of the German national character, to understand “the reason and extreme”,“high thinking ability and slavish obedience” coexist contradiction and duality.
