在历史哲学的发展脉络上,19世纪末20世纪初是十分重要的标界线,沃尔什把这之前称为思辨的历史哲学时期,这之后则是分析的历史哲学时期。罗素和这一时期的其他历史哲学家一样,思想中都包含了两种历史哲学,并且都表现出倾向于分析的历史哲学的痕迹。 In the context of the development of philosophy of history, the late 19th century and the early 20th century were very important demarcation lines. Walsh referred to this as the historical philosophical period of speculation, and then the historical philosophical period of analysis. Like other philosophers of history in this period, Russell included two kinds of historical philosophy in his thought, and all showed the traces of historical philosophy that tended to be analyzed.
