摘要

摘要: 本文以古代晚期史学奠基人彼得·布朗的研究成果为分析材料，研究其治史观念与方式之于教育史研究的迁移性作用，从而探索教育史书写的新方式。布朗的历史研究始于历史想象力，并基于多学科交融的历史方法论和大量史料印证下构筑的历史解释力，在文本与背景、人的精神革命与社会革命相融合的历史脉络中将历史想象转化为历史学问，最后再运用细腻的笔触铺展叙事以呈现历史进程复杂性与多样性。布朗的史学实践，尤其是在历史思维、历史方法和历史叙事上的探索，不仅激励了古代晚期史学者，也影响了其他历史研究领域。教育史可借鉴其方法进一步探索本领域研究革新的新路径。

Abstract: To explore and innovate the research and writing of history of education studies, this paper takes the research achievements of Peter Brown, the founding figure of Late Antiquity studies, as analytical material, studying the migratory role of his historical conception and method in shaping history of education studies. Brown's historical research begins with historical imagination and transformed historical imagination into historical scholarship within the historical context that combines texts with backgrounds, and spiritual revolutions with social revolutions, through a historical methodology that integrates interdisciplinary perspectives and is corroborated by a wealth of historical evidence. Finally, using delicate strokes of narrative, Brown unfolds the complex rhythms and diversities of historical processes. Brown's historical practice, including his exploration in historical thinking, methodology, and narrative, not only inspires scholars in Late Antiquity studies but also influences other fields of historical research. The field of history of education could profitably draw on his methods to further explore new paths for innovation in this field.
