第一章希腊罗马文化希腊罗马文化可以说是欧洲文明的起源,所以这一章节应该是比较重要的章节。
我们先看希腊的发展。
希腊文明分为几个时期,她形成于公元前800-500年,经历了古典时代(也就是公元前500到公元前336年)和希腊化时代(也就是公元前336年到公元前31年)。
希腊文明达到顶峰是公元前5世纪。
公元前146年,希腊被罗马攻克。
希腊文明也就被罗马文明所取代。
这段历史的重要大事有:1、公元前12世纪,随着特洛伊人的入侵,希腊堕入“黑暗时代”。
荷马史诗描述的正是希腊人与特洛伊人之间的战争(《以利亚特》和《奥得赛》)。
这里要注意的是,荷马史诗描述的时代并非荷马生活的时代。
荷马生活在公元前700年。
2、公元前6世纪,希腊世界开始有了全面改变,为后来的古典时代打开了通途。
其中两个重要的城邦国家是雅典和斯巴达。
雅典发展起一个完全不同类型的社会,公元前594年,梭伦成为雅典的首席执行官,他的贡献在于,在组织上为以后建立著名的雅典民主奠定了基础。
雅典之所以在当时拥有卓越的地位,是因为它在打败庞大的波斯帝国这场重大战争中起了最主要的作用。
历史之父希罗多德在他的历史书中进行了详尽的描述。
3、由于雅典的不断扩张引起了斯巴达的恐慌,因而在公元前431年爆发了伯罗奔尼撒战争。
战争最终以雅典的失败而告终。
修昔底得这位历史上最伟大的历史学家在其作品中,详尽描写了这一战争。
4、伯罗奔尼撒战争后,斯巴达专横跋扈,底比斯和雅典为求相互保护而结成新的联盟。
公元前371年,马其顿国王腓力二世打败了底比斯和雅典联军,他的闻名世界的儿子亚历山大大帝统治了希腊。
至此,古典时代结束,希腊化时代即将开始。
古典时代的希腊造就了一批哲学家和剧作家。
哲学家主要以苏格拉底、柏拉图和亚里士多德为代表。
苏格拉底提出自由辩论的重要性。
柏拉图的目标是要实现一个既能维持贵族特权,又可为贫苦阶级接受的社会,并构件了唯心主义的根基。
亚力士多德寻求自然界和人类社会各个方面的秩序。
(欧洲文化)PPT课件
(宗教精神):宗教在人们的文化心理上,同时也是在西 方社会的整个文化价值体系中,起到了这样一些作用:一 是精神的寄托与安慰。人在来自自然与社会的生存压力下, 在异化的生存条件下,以此进行自我调节,缓解心理压力, 求得心理平衡。二是宗教的原罪与忏悔的观念,对上帝的 敬畏,使人对自己的行为进行自觉的自我约束规范,这与 法制制约恰好形成互补,有利于社会的稳定平衡。三是如 马克斯·韦伯在《新教伦理与资本主义精神》中所认为的, 新教伦理一方面适度肯定人的世俗生活享受和谋利行为, 以及追求财富的权力,使人具有创造财富的动力;另一方 面则又倡导敬业、勤勉、节俭精神,提倡理性的禁欲主义, 反对放纵享乐的恶行,则有利于积累资本发展生产,因此 宗教在资本主义发展中起过重要作用。 从总体上看,西 方文化在天人二分的哲学观念和分析思维的基础上,历来 是追求科学精神与人文精神的并行发展,从而形成了自身 特有的文化精神及其传统。

学习欧洲文化的意义
认识世界、走向世界的最佳途径,就是学习其他 民族的文化与历史,借鉴他人所长,弥补自己所 短。
四、西方文化的宗教精神
西方文化传统中的一个重要方面和组成部分是宗教文化, 其中主要是基督教文化。历史上它曾占据过重要的社会 地位(如中世纪),后来西方的科学与民主精神不断发 展,但西方人仍然没有抛弃宗教,据有关资料显示现今 西方仍有35%的人信仰基督教,并仍呈蔓延之势。可以 说,在西方文化中,宗教文化不只是一种独立的文化形 态,同时它的精神也渗透到了整个西方文化之中。 过 去我们说宗教是麻醉和毒害人民的鸦片,这在人民革命 时代确实如此。但是从整个西方社会和文化的发展来看, 宗教为何盛行不衰?它有什么作用?确实值得研究。 西方宗教的产生和流行,我想还是与西方的整个文化传 统和思维方式有关。

• The Sumerians, who inhabited southern Mesopotamia from 3000-2000 B.C., are thought to have been the first culture to develop non-pictographic writing. • The greatest achievement of Sumerian civilization was their cuneiform ("wedgeshaped") system of writing. • Using a reed stylus, they made wedgeshaped impressions on wet clay tablets which were then baked in the sun.
• Around 3000 years before the greatest era of Greek history, civilizations flourished in Mesopotamia and in Egypt. • These civilizations were urban, productive, religious and law abiding and in all meanings of the word, civilized. • Between 4000-3000 B.C., the first cities appeared in the region. This was in response to the pressures of population growth, the organizational requirements of irrigation and the demands of more complex trade patterns.

• TIME: around 1200B.C. • Establishment : after the war between Greece and Troy. • Cultural Significance: mark by the successful repulse of the Persian invasion . • Spread : Alexander and his armies conquered large areas of Europe Asia and Africa. • End: it was conquered by the Romans
• The Histories — his masterpiece and the only work he is known to have produced — is a record of his "inquiry" , being an investigation of the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars and including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. Although some of his stories were not completely accurate, he claimed that he was reporting only what had been told to him. Little is known of his personal history since ancient records are scanty, contradictory and often fanciful.
