Theories of History
Good morning, class. Today's lecture is mainly concerned with some theories of history. How much of man's history do we know? We really know very little. Written records exist for only a fraction of what we suppose to have been man's time as a unique species. Furthermore, the accuracy of these records is often suspected, and the scope and selection of significant detail in them often needs improvement. It is worse when we try to reconstruct man's history before the development of writing, and this is unfortunate because the history of the greatest discoveries, such as fire, the wheel and the sail, as well as the history of the early development of human society are lost to us. The most that we can do is to use traces, deduction, speculation and the knowledge we have of the habits of those animals which have elementary social order to help us make a partial reconstruction. This is hardly a satisfactory substitute for precise information. With our knowledge of human history, which is only fragmentary at best, it is therefore nearly impossible to reconstruct the beginning and to deduce the end of the story of man.
與歷史有關的三大理論
同學們,早上好。今天的講座主要涉及一些歷史理論。大家對人類歷史理解有多少?的確是知之甚少。書籍記錄只讓我們了解到人類作為一個獨特的物種存在的時代。甚至這些記錄的準確性往往值得懷疑, 其中重要情節(jié)的范圍和選取都需要改進。然而,當我們在還沒完成文獻時試圖重現人類的歷史,事情變得更糟糕。很不幸,因為歷史上最偉大的發(fā)現,如火,輪子和帆,以及人類社會早期發(fā)展的歷史早已不為我們所知。我們能做的最多是追溯過去,演繹推理,利用我們所了解的關于懂得基本社會秩序的動物生活習性的知識,以此來幫助我們重現部分歷史。用這些來替代精確的信息遠非令人滿意。由于我們對人類歷史的知識最多也是零零散散的,因此我們幾乎不可能重現人類故事的開端和演繹人類故事的結局。
