论历史经验与历史思维

人们在日常意识中理解的“历史”,并非原始的历史实在,而是经过思维加工的产物。人类的行为产生了原始经验,极少一部分原始经验通过思维进入历史。这一过程不仅使原始经验转变成历史经验,也使思维本身成为历史思维。由于我们的认识只能意识到被思维加工的经验,因此原始经验的存在只是一个逻辑预设,它使描述历史经验与历史思维的共生状态成为可能。原始经验进入历史思维的过程,也是历史经验的概念化过程,即历史经验在历史思维编织下的生成过程。由于历史思维能够按不同的结构与技巧来编织历史经验,这就使历史经验的概念化具有多种可能性。因此,被人们认可的历史本体,实际上是历史思维活动存在的概念化多样性可能中某一种可能性的实现。

On Historical Experience and Historical Thinking

The concept of "history",understood in ordinary consciousness,doesn't represent original historical reality at all,but a production processed by thinking.Original experiences are presented in human being's actions.Very small part of it is turned into history with the conducting of thinking.When thinking changes original experiences into historical experiences,it also changes itself into historical thinking.Since we can only recognize the experience being processed by thinking,the original experience is merely a logical hypothesis.This makes it possible to describe the intergrowth state of historical experience and historical thinking.The process that original experience brought in historical thinking is also historical experience being conceptualized,i.e.the creating process of historical experience under the weaving of historical thinking.For historical thinking having different kinds of structures and skills in weaving historical experience,various possibilities of conceptualizations of historical experience exist.So we understand that what has been accepted as the historical noumenon is,in fact,the realization of one of various possibilities on conceptualization existing in historical thinking activities.
