ABSTRACT Between 1796 and 1814, two of late Enlightenment Germany's most prominent historians offered striking revisions to earlier accounts of European history. The renowned journalist, historian, and Slavicist August Ludwig Schlözer published a critical edition and translation of the Old Slavonic Primary Chronicle alongside a detailed historical commentary. This commentary presented Russia as an important protagonist in Europe's emergence from barbarism to Enlightened modernity. By contrast, his colleague Johann Gottfried Eichhorn published several historical works arguing that France had failed to cultivate a mature bourgeoisie and, consequently, had not become a fully modern polity. Building on the work of J. G. A. Pocock and Michael Printy, this article examines the thought of Eichhorn and Schlözer as political responses to the crises of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic period. It thereby offers both a fresh assessment of the work of two major Enlightenment intellectuals and an analysis of how notions of European modernity were reconfigured in a period of profound political turmoil.

开明叙事的局限性:在拿破仑德国重新思考欧洲

摘要 在 1796 年至 1814 年间,启蒙运动后期德国最著名的两位历史学家对早期的欧洲历史记述进行了惊人的修订。著名记者、历史学家和斯拉夫学者奥古斯特·路德维希·施洛泽 (August Ludwig Schlözer) 出版了《旧斯拉夫主要编年史》的评论版和译本,并附有详细的历史评论。这篇评论将俄罗斯描述为欧洲从野蛮走向开明现代的重要主角。相比之下,他的同事约翰·戈特弗里德·艾希霍恩 (Johann Gottfried Eichhorn) 发表了几部历史著作,认为法国未能培养成熟的资产阶级,因此也没有成为完全现代的政体。基于 JGA Pocock 和 Michael Printy 的工作,本文考察了 Eichhorn 和 Schlözer 的思想作为对革命和拿破仑时期危机的政治回应。因此,它既提供了对两位主要启蒙知识分子工作的全新评估,也提供了对欧洲现代性观念如何在深刻的政治动荡时期重新配置的分析。
