量化历史研究课程详细信息

课程号 02535220 学分 4
英文名称 Research on Quantitative History
先修课程 经济学原理
中文简介 已有的大多数历史研究过于定性,停留在史料整理和描述性层面,即使对历史事实背后的因果关系下结论,也只是猜测性的,很少从统计意义上进行严谨的逻辑推论,做排他性实证论证,这种研究方法的不足是明显的。历史研究中一手史料整理、描述性工作极其重要,但那是整个研究过程中的第一步,不是全部。研究的最终目的还是希望从历史经历中领悟到、学到一般性的道理,学到对现时和未来人类社会都有价值的规律知识。本课程立足于用社会科学的方法分析历史变迁,由此探寻人类社会长期发展的源流和脉络,阐释历史演变的规律,并为今天的经济、社会发展和经济政策提供某些借鉴。
英文简介 Most of the existing historical researches, due to the absence of rigorous logical inference with statistical methods such as solid empirical evidence, only produce speculative conclusions on causal relationships behind historical facts. Thus, even though qualitative research method dominates the field of modern historical research, its weakness in deriving general theory is obvious.
To locate and analyze the primary evidence is only the start of the historical research process, the ultimate goal of every historical research should be to derive illuminating patterns and general truths that enable us to make sense of the present in terms of the past, and the past in terms of the present.
In this course, we will explore various social, cultural, and political processes and their implications for today’s economy and society with scientific method. By analyzing these historical processes, we would be able to better grasp the origins and the repeating patterns of the long-term development of the human society.
