)公元前五世纪,雅典城邦(the Greek city-state Athens,城邦还可以称为 the polis)诞生了最早的民主制度,由此带来了社会文化的大繁荣,那个世纪便被称为古希腊的“黄金时代”(the Golden Age),堪称是西方文明的滥觞。

此后由于政治经济的最巨大差异,古希腊最强大的两个城邦——雅典和斯巴达(Sparta)陷入了长期的内战,直到公元前404年雅典战败才结束,史称“伯罗奔尼撒的战争”(Peloponnesian War)。

但是由于斯巴达自身政治制度的落后,它的盟主地位(hegemony,盟主权)终于在公元前371年被底比斯城邦取代(Thebes)。

在著名政治家Epaminondas的领导下,底比斯才得以统帅希腊,但随着他在公元前362年去世,一切都结束了。

在本文中,我们将对智慧树西方文明史导论中的一些重要问题进行详细的解释和阐述。

1.西方文明的起源是什么?西方文明的起源是一个复杂而多面的问题。

许多学者认为西方文明的起源可以追溯到古希腊和罗马文化。

这两个文化都对后世的西方文明产生了深远的影响。

在古希腊,哲学、政治和艺术得到了大力发展。

希腊人通过研究自然现象和人类行为,提出了许多重要的理论和思想,他们认为人类可以通过理性思维来探索世界的真理。

罗马则在军事、法律和政治方面进行了伟大的发展。

罗马共和国和罗马帝国的成立,对西方文明的形成和发展产生了深远的影响。

2.文艺复兴是怎么开始的?它在文化方面起到了哪些作用?文艺复兴是一个重要的历史时期,它发生在14至17世纪的欧洲。

它标志着欧洲文化、艺术和文学的重要变革。

文艺复兴的起源可以追溯到意大利,它是在城市重新兴起和贵族阶层重新崛起的背景下开始的。

在这个时期,人们开始对古希腊和古罗马文化进行重新学习。

人们开始对生命和人类存在的本质进行思考,产生了许多新的文学和艺术作品。

文艺复兴在文化方面起到了重要的作用。

它改变了人们的思考方式和审美标准,使人们开始重视科学和艺术。

它在建筑、雕塑、绘画和文学方面产生了许多重要的成果。

3.工业革命是怎么开始的?它产生了什么影响?工业革命是18世纪到19世纪期间在欧洲和美国发生的革命性变革。

它是一次从手工业制造到机械化和工厂化制造的重要转变。

工业革命的开始可以追溯到英国,这是因为英国有丰富的煤炭和铁矿资源。

随着机器的发明和生产技术的提高,工业生产的效率和规模得到了极大的提高。

工业革命对全球产生了深远的影响。

它引领了后来的科技革命和信息革命。

它改变了社会的生产方式和生活方式,使人们从传统的手工业过渡到工业化生产。

(P45) (8)第一章希腊文明1、希腊文明有哪些特点(一)、城邦制度发达(二)、工商航海业发达(三)、民主政治发达(四)、文化具有明显的人文主义和理性的特征2、分析雅典民主制度的利与弊(P11)3、希腊文明在哪些方面对欧洲文明的发展产生了重要影响。

纵观古希腊文化, 古希腊不同城邦的公民在自由、民主的空气下, 相互学习、相互竞争、努力创造, 由此涌现了无数的天才, 在文学艺术、哲学、宗教神话、政治学、建筑和自然科学等诸多方面均取得了巨大的成就, 并不断与世界其他民族的文化相互借鉴与吸收, 逐步使古希腊文明成为西方文明的摇篮; 古希腊文明中所倡导的哲学观、历史观、伦理道德观、社会与国家学说, 都对西方近现代社会发展发挥了不可替代的重要作用。

一、古希腊宗教神话文化为后世欧洲文学艺术的发展提供了肥沃的土壤古希腊的宗教与神话是紧密联系在一起的, 进一步说就是古希腊的各种神灵信仰是神话传说的思想基础, 而神话传说反过来又进一步丰富和发展了古希腊宗教, 神话是宗教的核心。

首先, 古希腊宗教没有经典教义, 没有教会组织及神职人员, 这种宗教的世俗性是希腊城邦理性主义的萌芽。

其次,神人同形同性的特点, 拉近了神与人之间的联系, 为希腊及以后的西方世界创作无数优秀的文艺作品提供了不竭的题材。

二、古希腊哲学开启了世界哲学研究的诸多领域, 奠定了哲学派别的基础古希腊留给西方哲学的遗产就是西方哲学的本身, 正如德国历史哲学家卡尔·雅斯贝斯所指出的: “古希腊城邦奠定了西方所有的自由意识、自由的思想和自由的现实基础。

”三、古希腊的文学艺术成就对西方文化的开创性影响史诗和悲剧是古希腊文学中的两颗明珠, 光耀夺目。

《荷马史诗》是欧洲最早的文学巨著, 成为欧洲文学的渊源, 是西方文学史上的开山之作除了史诗, 古希腊文学艺术的另一伟大成就是出现公元前5世纪雅典时期的悲剧。

当时雅典先后涌现出三大悲剧诗人。

埃斯库罗斯是第一位重要的悲剧诗人,有“悲剧之父”之称,是古希腊悲剧的真正创始人, 据说, 我们今天看到的戏剧演出时的布景、舞蹈、高底靴和轻飘鲜明的服装, 都是埃斯库罗斯首先采用而流传至今的。

索福克勒斯是三大悲剧家中最具有才华的一位。

在他的著作里突破了抒情诗式的悲剧形式, 诗歌队退到台外, 减少合唱的作用, 加强了戏剧的作用, 使悲剧艺术趋于完善。

在欧里庇得斯的作品中, 命运实际上已是人物自身的性格, 所以他的悲剧注重人物的心理描写, 以此表现发生在家庭伦理关系方面的可悲事件。

由于这一特点,欧里庇得斯被认为是开创西方家庭问题剧的第一人。

四、自然科学成就是西方科学的重要组成部分数学方面, 泰勒斯证明了许多几何学命题,毕达哥拉斯是西方最早证明勾股定理的人, 该定理也因此被称为毕达哥拉斯定理。

天文学方面, 泰勒斯曾正确地预言了公元前585 年5月28日的日全食; 毕达哥拉斯提出了宇宙是球形的, 其中心是“中心火”, 各天体都围绕它运行。

欧克多斯则提出了“地球中心论”, 认为地球是宇宙的中心, 并据此建立了世界上第一个宇宙几何模型。

他们中的一些理论今天仍为我们所借鉴。

生物学方面, 亚里士多德是一个百科全书式的学者, 他平时注重观察动植物, 亲自解剖动物, 著有《动物志》、《植物学》等著作, 并按照从低级的无生命到高级的动物界的不同层次对生物进行了分类, 这对后来的达尔文进化论也产生了较大的影响。

医学方面, 贡献最大的要数希波克拉底, 因为他第一次将医学从宗教迷信中解放了出来, 被尊为“医学之父”。

他著有60篇医学著作, 提出“四体液说”, 他还根据四体液把人划分为四种气质类型, 这种划分法在心理学中仍在沿用。

另外, 希波克拉底也很注意医德, 其医德规范被称为“希波克拉底誓词”, 誓词中宣布要处处为病人着想, 要保持医生及其行业的纯洁与神圣等, 这一直影响到今天欧洲医学组织制定医德规范。

4、希腊文明的历史是如何体现其人本主义精神的所谓希腊文化的精神,一言以蔽之,就是朴素的“人文主义”精神。

这种人文主义精神体现在他们的文化中对理性、美及自由的自觉追求之中。

希腊理性精神是深入彻底的反思和怀疑。

他们上天入地寻求事物的终极真理,这种彻底求真的精神孕育了希腊哲学、文学以及自然科学,于是就有了普罗塔戈拉提出“人是万物的尺度”,主张把人置于世界和社会的中心。

这种观点构成古希腊人文精神的基本内涵,对推动雅典民主政治和民众的思想起了启蒙作用。

古希腊文明成就中浓墨重彩的一笔就是其悲剧,古希腊的悲剧并不等同于悲感故事,其崇高和严肃是一场净化人心灵的教育。

希腊文化中的理性精神也表现在他们客观冷静地对待人生中的一场场悲剧:悲剧总在发生,问题的关键在于我们如何面对。

可以说,就是这种理性精神成就了希腊悲剧前无古人后鲜来者的成就。

古希腊尊崇个人和现世的土壤孕育了人神同形同性的神话传说基底。

流传至今的希腊神话传说的命运悲剧里,不论是阿喀琉斯还是美狄亚,他们都有一种强烈的悲剧抗争精神。

命运让他们承受巨大的不幸,面对为勇士慷慨赴死或是苟且偷生,忍受被遗弃的痛苦或者为自己抗争的选择中,他们理智而决绝地取舍,敢于抗争、殊死搏斗,敢于为自己的行为后果承担责任,他们较之常人更具有独立自主和超越死亡的气魄。

正是这种强烈的悲剧精神,让希腊悲剧的悲剧性和希腊精神的理性追求格外强烈集中。

希腊悲剧中的英雄在从抗争到毁灭、对生命执著不休的过程中,人格力量得以提升,人的精神境界得以升华,人的价值得以最充分的显示,因此而使人们敬重、叹服、仰慕他们。

尼采说:“悲剧恰好证明,希腊人不是悲观主义者。

”古希腊文明理性精神中这种对于英雄的崇拜而不是对于单纯“神”的崇拜,正是人文主义颂扬人的价值、尊严和力量的思想表现。

这种思想也使希腊人产生一种用乐观主义态度勇敢地直面现实,直面生活中的悲剧的精神。

希腊人对美的崇拜是对于自然的崇拜,主要表现为对人的自然形体的崇拜。

他们认为只有自然才是最美的,而人是自然的一部分,是自然美的精华。

这是西方文化的伊甸园时代,肉体和精神并没有因为差别而对立。

希腊人眼中的美要求智力与健强并重,原始质朴,自然和谐,“思想者”的雕塑就是这一观念的最好证明。

他们对美的追求同样体现出一种人文主义精神,并将这种精神籍由运动会传承至今。

今天的奥运会不仅是运动场,更是人文主义教育的大课堂,培育的是对个人的体力成就的崇尚、对个人价值的发掘与发扬,其精神背后的价值支柱是人的崇拜,尤其是个人及其潜能与英雄人格的崇拜。

希腊人文主义精神的另一表现就是对个体与精神自由的追求,对命运的反抗。

从俄狄浦斯王到美狄亚,他们所传达的都是一种不屈的抗争精神以及对人性自由的不懈追求。

当理想遭遇现实的阻力,强烈的破灭感反而激起他们对自由与理想更强烈的渴望和坚持为自由意志献身的精神。

希腊人身上那种不可磨灭的自由主义精神,是希腊民族精神中自由独立的意志的表现,同时,对人性自由的崇尚也是人文主义重要的一环。

直到今天,希腊国旗上蓝白相间九条文代表的“不自由,毋宁死”这句话的九个首字母,仍昭示着他们追求自由的信念。

正是希腊人这种对自由与理性自觉追求的人文主义精神,让希腊文化显示出一种高贵静穆之态,也正是这种人文主义精神使我们在希腊文化中看到了希望与爱,看到了生命与存在。

也许,这才是希腊文化最终要告诉我们的。

正如希腊德尔斐神庙上所示——认识你自己。

第二章罗马文明1、西罗马帝国灭亡的原因。

(P23)2、罗马共和国大规模军事征服取得成功的原因。

(P21)3、罗马共和国是如何向帝制转变的。

(P21)罗马共和国后期,军阀割据,内战不断,人民处在水深火热之中.自屋大维登基称帝之后,国家安定,经济发展.其实罗马早期的共和制转变成帝制也是历史发展的必然:当罗马贵族腐化堕落,变得软弱无能时,元老院就无法维持他们的统治,国家的动荡使得人们期望出现一个强有力的统治者.这种现象还出现在其他国家, 如法国拿破仑称帝,英国克伦威尔就任护国主,都是在国家动荡不安时由共和制转为帝制的典型。

在政治体制上应该是一个退步,专制独裁的帝制和共和制比起来的优劣我想大家已经很清楚了,但从实际效果来说也可以说是一种罗马社会历史发展的必然趋势,由于斯巴达克起义给罗马政权造成的冲击,导致元老院的权力开始集中到几个少数人手中,就像汉尼拔给罗马造成的冲击一样,不过这次掌权的人的权力更大,已恺撒,苏拉和克拉苏为首的前三巨头已极大地剥夺了元老院的权力,其中最重要的是元老院失去了对海外行省和军队的控制,这就导致了元老院势必只能作为拥有兵权的三巨头的傀儡,而当恺撒打垮其他二人时,拥兵自重的恺撒当然成为罗马的实际统治者,而屋大维在军事上的胜利则进一步把元老院推到了尴尬的境地,屋大维时期应该已经是罗马共和制崩溃的前兆,戴克里先只是享受了一下前人的成果罢了。

4、在罗马文明发展过程中都在哪些方面体现了罗马文明的规则性。

(?)5、罗马文明都有哪些特点。

(P24)第三章中世纪的基督文明1、简述政教之争。

(P35)2、中世纪的西欧封建制度的具体含义是什么。

①封建主之间形成了特殊的封君封臣关系;②形成了与封主封臣制相适应的封土制度;③中央权力衰落,各封建主在其领地内有独立的政治权力。

3、分析基督教在欧洲中世纪的地位和作用。

基督教对中世纪欧洲的影响已经渗入到社会的各个方面。
