当代英国著名史学理论家凯斯.詹京斯在其成名作《历史的再思考》中对现代西方史学的理论基础进行了全面批判。他从理论和实践的双重层面讨论了历史学的性质,并以此为中心进行了延伸性思考,最终试图渲染出“在后现代世界做历史的方法”。本书在总体的写作精神和诸多具体观点上都吸纳了利奥塔、福柯、罗蒂、怀特等人的思想,同时又带有其自身的独特性。 Contemporary famous British historian Case Jennings made a comprehensive critique of the theoretical basis of modern Western historiography in his famous book, “Rethinking of History.” He discusses the nature of history from both the theoretical and the practical aspects, and uses it as the center for extending thinking, finally attempting to render “the way to make history in the postmodern world.” This book absorbs the ideas of Lyotard, Foucault, Rorty, White, and others in the overall writing spirit and many specific points of view, but also with its own uniqueness.
