柯林武德（Ｒ．Ｇ．Ｃｏｌｉｎｇｗｏｏｄ，１８８９—１９４３）是英国著名的历史哲学家和考古学家。他所谓的“历史重演”论，是“历史是过去经验在历史学家头脑中的重演”。他强调“历史是思想史”，思想之外没有什么东西可以称得上是历史的对象。历史事件是人思想的产物，要了解历史事件、历史人物及其活动，必须首先了解人的思想，才能真正了解历史。只有“思想”能在人们的头脑中重演。他强调主客体的统一。历史学家重演古人的思想时，要达到主客体的统一，必须把过去、现在统一起来。 R.G.Colingwood (1889-1943) is a famous British philosopher of history and archeology. What he calls “historical reenactment” is “History is a repetition of past experience in the minds of historians.” He emphasized that “history is the history of ideas.” There is nothing beyond the mind that can be regarded as the object of history. Historical events are the product of human thought. To understand historical events, historical figures and their activities, we must first understand people’s thoughts and understand history truly. Only “thoughts” can repeat themselves in people’s minds. He emphasized the unity of subject and object. To reconstruct the ancients’ thoughts, historians must unite the past and the present to achieve the unity of the subject and the object.
