摘要
冷战结束后,"大历史"流派兴起是西方历史学出现的新现象。在后现代主义语境下,面对企图以神创论对抗进化论,用宗教知识体系挑战包括历史学在内的现代科学知识体系的基督教基要主义运动,"大历史"流派以物理学"大统一理论"为基础,在宇宙时空观下,以进化化、系统论为代表的生物学、宇宙学等自然科学理论和方法为途径,解释宇宙、自然界与人类社会起源及演化的普遍规律。"大历史"学家提出人与自然"协同进化"的历史演进模式,认为历史发展的动力是事物本身的内蕴性。"大历史"学家们还吸收了后现代主义和基督教神学方法论和认识论的合理成分,尝试用科学"现代创世神话"重建无神论世界观和进步历史观,是西方"世界历史"观念和宏大叙事的当代复兴。
After the cold war, the rise of Big History is a new phenomenon ol western history, m me context of postmodernism, Big History objectively makes a response to the Christian fundamentalism movement, which has been challenging the scientific knowledge systems including modern history. On the basis of grand unified theory, Big History attempts to explain where we came from, who we are,and where we might be headed, which is following a path of the theory and methodology of natural science. Especially, the origin stories of Big History which is called modern creation myth size up natural and social sciences collective learning to make a stand against the Christian creation story. Big History is the return of both western universal history and grand narrative.
