欧洲经验与世界历史:英国学派的封闭性与开放性

英国学派是一个由经典理论家和批判理论家构成的封闭性和开放性相统一的松散的学术共同体。作为英国学派学术理路来源的欧洲经验和作为其研究指向的世界历史之间存在着深层张力,这种张力决定了英国学派在学派界定、理论生成和理论转向诸方面都呈现出封闭性和开放性的特征。封闭性和开放性是一个悖论,然而,这是一个合理的悖论,这一悖论构成了英国学派的总体特征。封闭性强调了英国学派的自律性和鲜明特色,开放性突出了其包容性和批判性。这一合理的悖论或许是任何希冀创建带有自身学派特色的知识共同体的一种“宿命”。

European Experiences and World History:Closeness and Openness of English School

The English School which is open but at the same time close to some scholars composed of the classic and critical theorists'.There exists a deep-rooted tension between European experiences derived from the English School's academic theories and the world history aimed at by the school.It is this kind of tension that forms the seemingly contradictory academic close-open trait in terms of definition of schools,generation of the theories and transmission of theories.But it is,in fact,a rational paradox and becomes a universal characteristic of the English School for the concept of closeness which emphasizes on the self-discipline and larruping features of the English School while the concept of the openness emphasizes on the comprehension and criticism of the school.A rational paradox may be the "foreordination" of any academic community with distinctive characteristics.
