【摘要】 弗雷德里克·杰克逊·特纳是美国"边疆学派"的创始人,在其著名的"边疆假说"中,始终彰显着"国家主义"最高取向。在特纳看来,直至他所处的时代,美国历史在很大程度上是对于大西部的拓殖史,是边疆造就了一个全新的美国;边疆使美国摆脱欧洲影响,凸显美国特性;边疆开拓国家领土,塑造美国民族,孕育美国精神,发展美国民主。但是,特纳"边疆假说"对文明优劣的划分及其鼓吹扩张的特性、漠视对印第安人的征伐等,体现出其学说思想的狭隘局限性,需要我们审慎对待。更多还原

【Abstract】 Frederick Jackson Turner is the founder of the American Frontier School.In his famous “Frontier Hypothesis”,he has always maintained a “nationalist” position to understand and study the "Western Frontier" of the United States.In Turner’s view,up to his time,to a large extent the history of the United States is the colonization history of the Great West.It can be said that the frontier creates a new United States,makes the United States get rid of the influence of Europe and highlights its characteristics;frontier expands the national territory,shapes the American nation,nurtures the spirit of the United States,and develops American democracy.However,Turner’s division of superiority and inferiority of civilization,advocation of expansion,and indifference to the conquest of Indians reflect the narrowness and limitations of his theory,which needs to be treated carefully.更多还原
