简介:伯里在1903年就任剑桥大学近代史钦定教授的演讲中,提出了"历史是一门科学,不多也不少"的著名论断。另一方面,伯里也清醒地意识到,历史学应有自己的独立性。他以历史偶然性为切入点,探讨历史偶然事件与因果规律之间的关系,以揭示历史思想与自然科学思想之不同。伯里认为,神学和思辨哲学逻辑演绎的路数,无法运用于史学实践。他采用"历史综合"的路数,从历史经验中提出一个具有普遍性意义的假说1(历史思想具有独立性),然后归纳大量的史事来验证。由于体现人类自由意志的极为复杂的历史现象,存在无数的偶然事件,存在无数断裂的因果链条,所以伯里没有也不可能完成对其假说的证明。伯里的历史偶然性研究,对于思考史学理论研究的不同路数及其局限性,具有重要的参考价值。
