摘要
卡西尔认为 ,历史科学与自然科学赖以区分的依据是研究对象的差异。历史学的对象是符号性的存在。历史学家的任务是解读符号。历史学虽然是关于激情的历史 ,但历史学本身不能成为激情。历史学是拟人的 ,努力追求一种“客观的拟人性”。本文试图从历史科学与自然科学的区分、历史的客观性及历史的科学性等问题上 ,对卡西尔的历史哲学进行述评。
Ernst Cassier thinks it is the difference of the object of study that differentiates historiology from natural science. The object of historiology is past existence as symbols and the historian's task is to unscramble the symbols. Historiology itself should not be passion though it is a history about passion. Bearing the character of personification, historiology pursues objective personification. This article makes comments on Ernst Cassirer's philosophy of history in terms of the differentiation between historiology and natural science , the objectiveness and the scientific character of history.
