构建历史文化语义学何以可能

相对于中国学术界而言,作为一门学科的“历史文化语义学”是个新提法。既然为新学科,自然有诸多基本理论问题需要研究和说明。从研究对象上说,历史文化语义学是以基本文化概念形式表现出来的意向世界及其历史;从研究目的上说,历史文化语义学是话语的正本清源和话语权的拨乱反正,在逐步确立起传统文化方法论原则的同时,为传统文化研究确立起社会历史本体论;从名称含义上说,历史文化语义学是探究历史的文化意蕴和文化的历史源头;从思想资源上说,历史文化语义学悠长而丰厚,它包括历史线索、个案范例和核心人物三个方面;从研究方法上说,历史文化语义学是历史和逻辑的有机统一。这些,构成了历史文化语义学的基本框架。

The Foundations of The History-Culture Semantics

As a new discipline, the newly named history-culture semantics has many fundamental and theoretical problems to solve. Firstly, the object of the new discipline is the image world and its history which are formalized by the basic cultural concepts. Secondly, the purpose for the study of the new discipline is the clearing and the correction of the utterance. Thirdly, the name of the new branch indicates that it will explore the cultural meaning of the history and the historical origin of cultures. Fourthly, the new discipline has abundant and time-honored resources which are embodied in its historical clues, cases and core figures. And at last, the methodology of the new discipline is an organic unification of history and logics.
