本文对苏珊.邓恩的《姊妹革命》一书进行分析和评价,认为该书通过三个方面比较了法国大革命与美国独立革命,一是对待本国传统文化的不同态度;二是两国的革命领导者是不同类型的人;三是两国对待自由、冲突与一致的态度背道而驰。邓恩的分析比较详实有理,但个别论述却有失公允,比如否定了启蒙思想家们的贡献等。 This article analyzes and appraises Susan Dunne’s book The Sisters Revolution and holds that the book compares the French Revolution with the American Independent Revolution in three aspects. First, it treats the different attitudes of their traditional cultures. Second, The revolutionary leaders are different types of people. Third, the two countries run counter to freedom, conflict and unanimity. Dunne’s analysis is more detailed and reasonable, but individual discourse is unfair, such as denying the contribution of the Enlightenment thinkers.
