Lịch sử tiếp cận từ khoa học và công nghệ: Một cách thức diễn giải và nghiên cứu lịch sử

Abstract

There are many ways to study and interpret history through approaches and to some extent, research methods. Nevertheless, there are few studies on history from perspectives of science and technology. On the basis of reviewing the human (civilization) history with a new interpretation and approach, the article aims to emphasize a number of contents and proposals: (i) putting science and technology into consideration of a way of human historical periodization; (ii) placing in relation to other “histories”, science and technology in history should play a significant role in the rise and fall of nations, institutions, governments, and ruling regimes; (iii) proposing a paradigma analytical framework in evaluating the turning point of science and technology, and try to apply it into a period of Vietnamese history.
