多元视域中历史编纂的客观性问题

The Objectivity of Historical Compilation from Different Horizons

  • 摘要: 维柯从科学与人性双重路径中将历史从神学中解放出来;康德在理性批判中奠定了历史编纂客观性的哲学根基,指出要把历史作为客体进行考察;黑格尔提出在自由意志与世界精神的统摄下让史实客体自我规定。实证主义史学在历史编纂中将自然科学的客观性直接移植进来,出现了唯科学化的符合论倾向,弱化了史家的主体性。兰克则主张在历史编纂中“如实直书”,叙述客观历史对象时避免先入为主。柯林武德提出“一切历史都是思想史”,反对用普遍规律解释历史现象,主张以史家主体观念涵盖客观性,以主体验证史实,因而形成了质疑历史编纂客观性的历史相对主义思潮。后现代哲学中叙事主义将历史编纂限制在文本书写中,试图回避客观性问题。为了协调各种理论之间的冲突,沃尔什提出了视域融合论与配景理论,但对视域范围进行了限定。伽达默尔则将历史编纂视为史家主体与史实客体相互规定的开放性过程,主张破除历史认识论中的主、客体区隔,在多元视域的融合中提升对客观性的深度认识。

     

    Abstract: Vico liberated history from theology through the dual path of science and human nature; Kant laid the philosophical foundation of objectivity of historical compilation in rational criticism, and pointed out that history should be examined as an object; Hegel proposed that historical object should be self regulated under the control of free will and world spirit. Positivist historiography directly transplants the objectivity of natural science into historiography, which resulted in the tendency of scientific conformity and weakened the subjectivity of historians. Rank advocated "truthful and direct book" in historical compilation, and avoided preconceptions when describing objective historical objects. Collingwood proposed "all history is the history of thought", opposed the interpretation of historical phenomena with universal laws, advocated that the concept of historiographer's subject covers the objectivity, verified the historical facts with the subject, and formed the historical relativism trend of thought that questions the objectivity of historical compilation. In postmodern philosophy, Narration limits historical compilation to text writing, trying to avoid the problem of objectivity. In order to coordinate the conflicts between various theories, Walsh put forward the theory of fusion of horizons and the theory of matching scenes, and limited the scope of horizons. Gadamer regards the compilation of history as an open process of mutual stipulation between the subject of historian and the object of historical facts, breaks the distinction between the subject and the object in historical epistemology, and promotes the deep understanding of objectivity in the fusion of multiple perspectives.
