简论历史学的学科设置调整

现有的历史学的八个二级学科其畸轻畸重的问题明显。其中,纯粹的中国史有五个,加上其它二级学科中中国史的份额,总计占了六个。而纯粹的世界史只有一个,加上其它二级学科中所含世界史的份额总计也只有两个。但世界史研究的地区(陆地)面积是中国史所研究的地区面积的15倍,世界史研究的人口是中国史所研究的人口的四倍,世界史研究的海洋面积是中国史所研究的海洋面积的120倍。解决的办法是:设中国历史学、外国历史学、考古—博物馆学三个一级学科,这是最好的方案;或历史学下面只设四个二级学科:中国古代史、中国近现代史、世界史、考古博物馆学。

On How to Adjust Historiography Set

An obvious lopsided problem exists in the historiography set.Among the eight secondary disciplines of historiography,five are ’pure’ Chinese history and one in other secondary disciplines,among which is one world history and one in others.Yet the land area of the world historiography is 15 times,the population is 4 times and the area of sea and ocean is 120 times as much as that in Chinese historiography.To solve this problem,two sets are suggested.1) Set up three first-class disciplines: Chinese history,foreign history and archaeology-museumology,2) Build four secondary disciplines of historiography: ancient Chinese history,modern and contemporary Chinese history,the world history and archaeology-museumology.
