This meaty, scholarly collection of essays by gifted historian Niall Ferguson tackles the controversial topic of counterfactual questions: What if Hitler had invaded Britain in WWII? What if JFK had survived his assassination? What if there had been no Gorbachev to usher in the collapse of Communism? What if there had been no American Revolution? Ferguson points out that while questions such as these are a vital part of how we learn as individuals ("What if I had observed the speed limit, or refused that last drink?"), there remains a great deal of resistance--even hostility--to such musings among professional historians. "[I]n the dismissive phrase of E.H. Carr, 'counterfactual' history is a mere 'parlour game,' a 'red herring.'" E.P. Thompson is less charitable, calling counterfactual histories "'Geschichtswissenschlopff', unhistorical shit."

But Ferguson and his distinguished collaborators (many of whom are also Oxford fellows) lodge some convincing counterfactuals of their own to counter this arguably blinkered notion, this "idea that events are in some way preprogrammed, so that what was, had to be." In addition to the what-ifs above, Ferguson and his comrades tackle eight questions in all, including "What if Charles I had avoided the Civil War?", "What if Home Rule had been enacted [in Ireland] in 1912?", and "What if Britain had 'stood aside' in August 1914?" Virtual History makes for a stimulating and intellectually rigorous trip, with Ferguson's own delightful afterword as the collection's crowning jewel, a brilliant--and often bitingly clever--timeline tying together all the threads from 1646 to 1996.

具體描述

讀後感

評分

所谓“未曾发生的历史”。与之类似的种种思考,在史学上常常被称为“反事实问题”(Counterfactual)。虽然长久以来,传统的历史学家天经地义地认为他们所描述的历史应是那些必然已经发生过的事件,但这并不能阻止人们继续兴致勃勃地推演他们想象中的历史。    其实,“反事...

关于反事实的研究,近年来的趋势是国内冷国外热。此书加上李泽厚的那场论战,在21世纪前十年,引发了国内对该问题的短暂关注。继此之后,国内学术界难觅反事实。与此相反,国外对这一领域的探索不断深入,并试图构建反事实假设的运行规则,我想这一定是多学科交叉的一次盛宴。 ...

有段时间喜欢韩国一个团体歌唱组合,了解的人都知道除了仔仔是永久正宫,其他帅哥都是半月抛型。重点,喜欢组合因为里面有各色种类,完全满足我这种贪婪的重口味。对啊,我这么吝啬、贪婪的人,怎么会选择看某一单一明星挑梁的电影、演唱会,那多吃亏,要看就看《复仇者联盟》...
