issue103: The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives.
History, a record of the past which reminds us about both the wax and wane of human process, arouse much debate and concern nowadays. Why we study the history? What is the purpose for us to study history? Is it that the study of history has value only when it is relevant to our daily lives, as the statement suggests? However, in my view, I concede that it seems has more value when history related with our daily lives, while it is not the whole merits of history.
On a personal lever, learning history is the basic requirement for a would-be succeed person. On the one hand, as a human being, one have no idea about the past of his country would unlikely be a indeed successful man. He who does not know how his country formed and what is the origin of its human culture, may also does not care about any development of exist stuff for everything has its own history, not only the progress of human or a country. We should first study the history of such main points, and then apply the method to other subjects. On the other hand, reading books which fulfill the wisdom of ancestors, is a process that cultivating our spirit. In contemporary world, the knowledge is the basic capital for us to stand in a complex society successfully. As the saying goes, reading history makes one sagacious, a man with erudite knowledge of history can easily identify his position in society and make the proper plan for his life according to the position now. It is the cultivation of brain, to some extent this cannot be involved with daily lives.
Admittedly, we are always familiar with the value we obtained in our daily life. For example, when we make the decision we always refer to some previous similar cases, and what should we not do and do is under the reference of history which provides good advice. Sometimes, we cogitate matters unconsciously based on the familiar consequence of history. However, we cannot say that history is only useful in the trifles of our daily life.
Let us come to the societal level in which the study of history may have more weight. For a country, the requirement of its people learn history is one way that form coherence for a country which is the power for people get-together. With the same background, sharing the same land, fighting for the same goal--making one’s country more prosperous, the coherence appears. Just the same faith in all the people makes the stability and unity in one country possible. Additionally, the history is a basic subject that records the information of the past without any objective opinion. Professors in such realm, take it as a philosophy to recognize the world, the assuming God. On this level, if we restrict the filed of history, we would bent the reality of history and also the history itself would become meaningless.
In summary, history is the accurate objective record of the past written in sequence. The study of history is the obligation for human beings as the symbol of the progress of us, no matter whether it is relevant to our daily lives or not. Form history, not only can we avoid some mistakes the superior had committed, but also render us a way to be more sagacious. Besides these, nowadays, increasing disciplines derives from history, such as historic-philosophy.作者: tianrushui 时间: 2005-8-19 23:18:18

你对daily life 的理解是不是就是和人自身利益相关的就属于daily life的范畴,而与整个社会相关的就不属于这个范畴了.
