略论钱锺书史论中的“人性”--以《管锥编》对《左传》《史记》的诠解为中心

摘要

Human nature played the important part of history because of its complexity and contingency . Qian Zhong -shu broke dow n barriers of space -time and disciplines ,and interpreted human nature in histories with aesthetic vision .His reviews in histories had discussed about historical figures and historical events in history which performed surge high and sweep forward .His reviews in histories could lead to introspect of historical law s and effect of human nature in history .%历史学是一门以弘扬人性之真、善、美和鞭笞人性之假、恶、丑为旨归的人学，因而在求真之外尚有求善、求美的使命。历史发展的复杂性和偶然性决定了人性在历史中扮演着至关重要的角色。钱锺书打破时空界线和学科壁垒，独辟蹊径，从常心、常情、常理出发，用貌似拙朴的分析方法，以美学慧眼诠解史学作品中表现出来的人性，给人以心灵的震撼和历史之美的洗礼。其史论通过对人性的自然性的确认、对社会性的剖释和对复杂性的体察，将散落于历史间隙中的寻常之人和事置于波澜壮阔的历史进程之中，引起人们对宏大叙事下的历史规律进行重新审视和对人性在历史进程中所起作用进行深切反思。
