摘要
汤因比的历史研究是从整体上进行的,他把每一个文明都放在世界的范围内比较研究。他的整体论思想与中国有着内在的联系。他认为“中国模式”与“希腊模式”是理解人类文明的关键。汤因比不仅仔细研究了中国的太极阴阳之说,并且用这一学说来解说自己的文明理论。他不仅运用这种阴阳学说的基本观点解释中国文明历史的进程,而且他还以此来解释世界上其他的文明与历史行程。
Arnold Toynbee conducts his historical studies in a holistic way. He puts every civilization into the global scope and makes a comparative study of them. His holistic thought has an inner connection with China. He thinks that 'Chinese model' and 'Greek model' are the keys to understand human civilization. Toynbee not only studies thorough China's Yin-Yang theory, but also uses this theory to explain his own theory about civilization. He applies the basic concept of Yin-Yang theory not only to the evolution of Chinese civilization, but also to other civilizations in the world. According to Toynbee, the history of world civilization is in accordance with Chinese Yin-Yang theory and it has undergone the development from Yin to Yang, from stillness to movement. China's Yin-Yang device represents the spiral development of history. Toynbee's theory of 'challenge and response' is also imbued with the idea of 'Yin-Yang' theory.
