摘　　要：在《文明的演变》和《悲剧和希望》两书中,美国著名历史学家卡罗尔·奎格利提出了一种以强调人、文化、环境三要素之间的互动、以扩张工具的生成和机制化为核心的历史分析工具;奎格利以此来解释文明的兴衰,并将其细化为混合、孕育、扩张、冲突、普遍帝国、衰败和入侵等七个阶段。以奎格利对西方文明的有关论述为标本,本文力图勾勒其文明史观的总体脉络,归纳其精髓,评论其得失。In the Evolution of Civilizations and Tragedy and Hope, Carroll Quigley, a famous American his- torian, finds a historical analytical tool which emphasizes the relations among man, culture and environment but centered on instrument of expansion and its institutionalization. In such terms, Quigley explains the rise and decline of civilizations and refines the process into seven stages, i.e. mixture, gestation, expansion, conflict, universal empire and invasion. Taking his analyses on Western civilization as an example, this arti- cle tries to draw the outline of Quigley~ quintessential viewpoints on civilizations and summarize his success and failure.
