感觉就在讲已知的东西
评分作为历史学家,作者用将近全书一半的篇幅去拥抱科学和质疑(更多的是贬低)社会科学,仿佛旅馆幽会中的情人在床上喋喋不休地倾力否定原配的合法性。力图去展现narrative对自然科学和对宇宙的贡献,却屡次欲言又止,如蜻蜓点水。章三到五中几处精彩的吐槽社科(到后来发展为不遗余力地黑化)集中体现了作者的文采尤其是对metaphor这一修辞的熟练运用,除此之外几乎毫无建树。与其说这本书是历史系新生的must reading,倒不如说更像是一篇冗长的招生宣讲。总之,非常得大学阀作风,“落伍的”“牛顿式线性思维的”社科从业者应自省

评分之前曾经在知乎上看到过一个问题,为什么要学习历史。觉得这本书很好地回答了这样一个问题——历史将时间和空间用抽象的方式诠释出来,把各种错综复杂的相关因素当作是一个互相影响的系统来看待(相对于社会科学将各个因素独立开来研究的方法)
John Lewis Gaddis is the Robert A. Lovett Professor of Military and Naval History at Yale University. A leading authority on Cold War history, his books include We Now Know, The Long Peace, and Strategies of Containment.
What is history and why should we study it? Is there such a thing as historical truth? Is history a science? One of the most accomplished historians at work today, John Lewis Gaddis, answers these and other questions in this short, witty, and humane book. The Landscape of History provides a searching look at the historian's craft, as well as a strong argument for why a historical consciousness should matter to us today. Gaddis points out that while the historical method is more sophisticated than most historians realize, it doesn't require unintelligible prose to explain. Like cartographers mapping landscapes, historians represent what they can never replicate. In doing so, they combine the techniques of artists, geologists, paleontologists, and evolutionary biologists. Their approaches parallel, in intriguing ways, the new sciences of chaos, complexity, and criticality. They don't much resemble what happens in the social sciences, where the pursuit of independent variables functioning with static systems seems increasingly divorced from the world as we know it. So who's really being scientific and who isn't? This question too is one Gaddis explores, in ways that are certain to spark interdisciplinary controversy. Written in the tradition of Marc Bloch and E.H. Carr, The Landscape of History is at once an engaging introduction to the historical method for beginners, a powerful reaffirmation of it for practitioners, a startling challenge to social scientists, and an effective skewering of post-modernist claims that we can't know anything at all about the past. It will be essential reading for anyone who reads, writes, teaches, or cares about history.
