主题：【整理】西方历史与学术的由来——关于西方历史的真假问题 -- 疯狂的蚂蚁

Like your nick name, as Sir Acton is one of my favorate scholars in college years.

From the Western historical tradtions we have much to learn, especially in field works of archiology and the efforts and achievements of pushing traditional history scholarship and research toward the direction of "science", by focusing greatly on details and applying scientific thinking, as well as extensive applicaition of modern database and information tech.

No doubt, history research and learning as of today, maybe in the foreseeable future, will still have political implications. We have debated back in college days. We will like to embrace that, not shy away from it. There's nothing wrong that serious learning on history may assist us in knowing the world of today, and may help us in our daily efforts to build our country and serve our people. Just make sure we do it right, alwasy stay TRUE to ourselves, and to history.
