內容簡介
《西方文明史》既緊緊把握瞭政治發展的綫索,同時又兼顧瞭經濟、文化等諸多領域,並運用“新史學”的方法,將底層大眾的日常社會生活也囊括其中,力求多層次、多角度地揭示西方文明起源、發展、演進、更新的漫長曆程和整體圖景。在敘述和闡釋西方文明曆史的過程中,作者將大多數精力“一直聚焦在拓展齣一種對西方文明的可靠的和易讀的敘述上”,而並非要將之寫成“一部百科全書”。因此,凡是與這一學術主旨不相關的龐雜內容一概不予敘述,而那些被長期忽略瞭的“普通男女的曆史”則被納入到敘事之中。此外,作者還從文明的“親緣”關係齣發,將斯拉夫文明作為西方文明的組成部分而不是邊緣地帶來加以敘述。正是基於這樣的新理念,該書囊括瞭曆史地理、政治製度、經濟樣式、地區衝突與戰爭、宗教、思想觀念、文化藝術、社會生活等諸多的內容,讓讀者對西方文明史的整體輪廓與豐厚積澱有瞭一個比較清晰的認識。

精彩書摘
The West is an idea.It is not visible from space.An astro-naut viewing the blue——and·-white terrestrial sphere can make out the forms of Africa,bounded by the Atlantic,the Indian Ocean,the Red Sea,and the Mediterranean.Australia,the Americas,and even Antarctica are distinct patches of blue-green in the darker waters that surround them.But nothing comparable separates Asia from Europe,East from West.Viewed from 100 miles up,the West itself is invisible.Although astronauts can see the great Eurasian landmass curving around the Northern Hemisphere,the Ural Mountainsmthe theoretical boundary between East and West——appear faint from space.Certainly they are less impressive than the towering Himalayas,the Alps,or even the Caucasus.People,not geology,determined that the Urals should be the arbitrary boundary between Europe and Asia. Even this determination took centuries.Originally,Europe was a name that referred only to central Greece.Gradually,Greeks extended it to include the whole Greek mainland and then the landmass to the north.Later,Roman explorers and soldiers carried Europe north and west to its modern bound-aries.Asia too grew with time.Initially,Asia was only that small portion of what is today Turkey inland from the Aegean Sea.Gradually,as Greek explorers came to know of lands far-ther east,north,and south,they expanded their understand。ing of Asia to include everything east of the Don River to the north and ofthe Red Sea to the south. Western civilization is as much an idea as the West itsel Under the right conditions,astronauts can see the Great Wall of China snaking its way from the edge of the Himalayas to the Yellow Sea.No comparable physical legacy ofthe West is so mas-sire that its details can be discerned from space.Nor are Western achievements rooted forever in one corner of the world.Ⅵ1at we call Western civilization belongs to no particular place.Its lo.cation has changed since the origins of civilization,that is,the cultural and social traditions characteristic of the civitas,or city.Western”cities appeared first outside the”West),in the Tigris and Euphrates river basins in present-day Iraq and Iran,a region山at we today call the Middle East.These areas have never losttheir urban traditions,but in time,other cities in North Africa,Greece,and Italy adapted and expanded this heritage. Until the sixteenth century c…E the western end of the Eurasian landmass was the crucible in which disparate cul.tural and intellectual traditions of the Near East.the Mediterranean,and northern and western Europe were smelted into a new and powerful alloy.Then“the West”ex-panded by establishing colonies overseas and by giving rise tothe“settler societies”of the Americas,Australia and NewZealand,and South Africa.Western technology for harnessing nature,Westerh formsof economic and political organization,Western styles of artand music are for good or ill-一dominant influences inworld civilization.Japan is a leading power in the Western tra.ditions of capitalist commerce and technology.China,themost populous country in the world,adheres to Marxist so.cialist principles——a European political tradition.Millions ofpeople in Africa,Asia,and the Americas follow the religions ofIslam and Christianity,both of which developed fromJudaism in the cradle ofWestern civilization.
前言/序言
正如德國人的人文著述中充滿日爾曼民族的自豪感和優越感那樣,西方曆史學傢在撰寫他們自己的文明史時,往往會過度褒揚西方人的民族性、製度和文化。在他們的筆下,西方文明通常被看做人類文明發展的主綫和軸心,東方文明則自然成為“化外”或“非主流”。M.A.凱什嵐斯基(M。A.Kishlallsky)等人的《西方文明史》似乎突破瞭這一思想束縛和文化囹固,采用一種客觀的、聯係的和發展的觀點來追溯西方文明的曆史足跡。這在林林總總的西方文明史的著作當中,不得不說是難能可貴的瞭。
