The Method Of Global History And The Production Of Imperial Knowledge

Charles Darwin is a naturalist with global significance,and his traditional interpretation focuses on specific aspects such as the history of philosophy of science,the history of biology,and social Darwinism.Breaking through the traditional interpretation system and re-examining Darwin’s thought creation and the British imperial intellectual power in a global perspective is a new perspective.The theoretical analysis of global history provides a research tool for reexamining Darwin.From the perspective of global history,Darwin’s voyage around the world in 1831-1836 laid the foundation for his career.This is a global contact and connection,and it is also an important condition for the formation of Darwin’s thought.Secondly,Darwin’s thought content is a process of accumulation and qualitative change over a long period of time,and the evolution of evolutionary thought in modern times provides a core research direction for it.Taking Darwin as a typical example,the results of his natural history surveys have been continuously collected in London,which has enriched Britain’s spatial cognition of undeveloped areas and formed the British intellectual empire."Customs are people" is the conclusion of the naturalists in the Age of Enlightenment.The needs of the times-Darwin-the development of the empire are a combination.The needs of the times prompted Darwin to travel and investigate.There were many Darwinian intellectuals in the Victorian era.Individuals are exploring and developing around the world.The starting point for the rise of Britain and the process of industrialization is a global cause.Darwin’s knowledge system promoted the construction of the imperial cause.The connotation of empire has dimensions.The highest link is the knowledge empire,and Darwin promoted the construction of this link to the greatest extent.The influence of the intellectual empire is lasting and a concept that continues to this day.Analyzing Darwin through global history,he also innovated the research theme and content of global history,and explored the method of constructing a person’s global history.
