当代史学新思潮、新学派风起云涌,既有各个国家和地区的研究者学术自觉的推动,也有国际学术协作团队的努力。这一波新史学潮流的出现,尽管在20世纪90年代以后不断得到推介,但并未形成清晰的画面,个中原因恐怕还在于对话与交锋不够,互动太少,因此不免自说自话。新说的创见如不能内化为历史研究过程中的学术自觉,其影响也就日渐消减于无形。有感于中国学界学术反思之不足,本刊特组织相关学者,趁各种新兴思潮、流派有一定经验和实证研究基础但尚在成长之际,截断众流,形成代际,对其聚焦,着重反思,推动中国学界的反省与前瞻,推动中国史学之知识创建汇入人类整体知识洪流。系列反思第二辑邀请国内外五位学者对环境史、生态史中事实判断、价值判断和历史观念等相关问题进行探讨。 New thoughts and new schools of contemporary historiography have surged forward. Researchers in various countries and regions have promoted themselves both academically and internationally, and have also made concerted efforts from academic collaborations teams. The emergence of this new wave of new historiography, though continuously promoted after the 1990s, did not form a clear picture. The reason for this may still lie in the fact that dialogue and confrontation are not enough and there is too little interaction. If the newly created ideas can not be internalized into the academic consciousness in the course of historical research, their influence will gradually diminish and become invisible. Feeling of lack of academic reflection in Chinese academia, the journal organizes relevant scholars, taking advantage of various emerging trends and genres with some experience and empirical research foundation but still growing, intercepts the crowd, Focus on reflection, to promote reflection and look forward to the Chinese academia, promote the creation of knowledge of Chinese historiography into the flow of human knowledge as a whole. The second series of series introspection invited five scholars at home and abroad to discuss the relevant issues such as the factual judgment, value judgment and historical conception in environmental history and ecological history.
