《历史的辉格解释》是巴特菲尔德史学立场两面性的集中体现,作者对辉格派的历史学家做了诸多批判。巴氏认为辉格的历史解释的背后,实际是一种“为了当下而研究过去”的主张,巴特菲尔德虽然一直强调遵循历史事实,但是仍然难以完全否认历史学家主体情感体验的重要性。作者的骑墙态度是他的求真精神未贯彻到底,从而几乎使他落入虚无主义陷阱的批评者。但是同时也说明历史学本事的复杂性,因此在反应历史事实时,历史学家必须有所抉择。
The “Whig Interpretation of History” is a concentrated reflection of the two sides of the historical position of Butterfield. The author criticized many Whig historians. In the opinion of Whig, behind the historical interpretation of Whig, it is actually a proposition of “studying the past for the present.” Although Butterfield has always emphasized the historical facts, it is still difficult to completely deny the importance of historians’ emotional experience . The author’s attitude towards riding a wall is a critic of his truth-seeking spirit that has led him almost to the trap of nihilism. But at the same time, it also shows the complexity of the history science, so historians must make decisions in response to historical facts.
