1969年,在《观念史中的意涵与理解》一文中,斯金纳提出:一个文本或思想只有通过考察和分析它的历史语境才能得到理解,在这个语境中,作者所说的问题永远具有特定的历史针对性和意义。但同他所批判的一些研究者一样,他的“语境”同样陷入了自我循环。那么,历史地理解文本和思想是否可能?本文作者尝试做了一些初步的思考。 In 1969, in his article “Meaning and Understanding in the History of Ideas,” Skinner proposed that a text or thought can be understood only by examining and analyzing its historical context. In this context, what the author says The question always has a specific historical relevance and meaning. However, like some of the researchers he criticizes, his “context” is similarly trapped in a cycle of self-reliance. Is it possible to historically understand the texts and ideas? The author attempts to do some initial thinking.
