张盾在《江海学刊》(91.3)上撰文认为,“历史主义”方法在现代哲学中特别盛行,其论题是:哲学应该关心的不是研究对象的静态结构而是过程(时间中的变化与发展),一切现象只有作为历史现象才能被真正理解。它把时间性视为人类认识的本质。今日泛滥的历史主义思潮存在着成为一种一般思维方式的趋向的危险性。我们认为,解释世界的根本问题是预测可能发生的事实,人为了能在这个世界上生存和发展,必须预先知道那些可能发生的事情对自己有利还是有弊。尽管人类解释世界的实际程度是复杂多样的,但哲学所关心的仅仅是:应该如何说明事实之间的联系(特别是因果联系)。各 Zhang Dun’s article in “Jianghai Journal” (91.3) argues that the “historicism” method is especially prevalent in modern philosophy. Its thesis is that philosophy should not be concerned with the static structure of the research object but with the process (changes in time and Development), all phenomena can only be truly understood as historical phenomena. It regards temporality as the essence of human understanding. There is a danger that the trend of historicism flooding today will tend to become a general way of thinking. In our opinion, the fundamental problem of explaining the world is to predict what may happen. To be able to survive and develop in this world, we must know in advance whether those things that may happen are good or bad for ourselves. Although the actual extent of human interpretation of the world is complex and diverse, what philosophy is concerned with is merely how to account for the connection between facts (especially the causal link). each
