地理环境论与梁启超的“新史学”理论

梁启超的"新史学"理论受到多种西方学术文化的影响,地理环境论是其中的一个重要方面.梁启超不仅系统介绍了地理环境论的主要思想,还具体探讨了地理环境与中华文明之间的联系,并试图通过中西地理环境的差异解释中西文明的不同特点,在一定程度上反映了历史认识的提高和深化.但梁启超并不是地理环境决定论者,他只是将地理环境作为影响历史发展进程的一方面因素.

Geographical Environmental Theory and Liang Qichao's Theory of Neo-historiography

Liang Qichao's theory of neo-historiography was influenced by varied Occidental academic culture,one of which is geographical environmental theory.Liang Qichao not only systematically introduced principal ideas of geographical environmental theory,but also concretely probed into the connection between geographical environment and culture of China.Liang tried to interpret different characteristics of culture of China and the Occident through their different geographical environments.All of them reflect improvement and deepening of historical cognition to a certion extent.But Liang isn't a determinist of geographical environments.He only regarded geographical environment as an influential factor in the course of history.
