“独特道路”理论是德国现代历史研究的经典范式。从提出至今,它的发展可分为三个阶段:颂扬性;批判性;再批判与修正。研究范式的转变同德国政治历史的演进密切相关,同时也反映了现代化理论的发展。中国史学界也开始应用这一范式,但需要做进一步反思。 “Unique road ” theory is the classic paradigm of German modern history. From its inception, its development can be divided into three stages: praise, criticism, re-criticism and amendment. The change of research paradigm is closely related to the evolution of German political history, and also reflects the development of modernization theory. Chinese historians have also begun to apply this paradigm, but further reflection is needed.
