摘　　要：基思·托马斯是英国当代史学名宿,西方新文化史的代表性人物,他以《宗教与魔法的衰落》和《人类与自然世界》等著作饮誉国际史坛。托马斯也以倡导史学新方法著称,其历史人类学的方法经他与弟子彼得·伯克、阿兰·麦克法兰等人的实践,开创了文化史研究的新局面,形成了持久的影响力。托马斯历史人类学方法的理论来源复杂,主要是受英国社会人类学、英国马克思主义史学流派和韦伯的现代性理论的影响,兼收各家之长的同时,也有其内在的悖论。Keith Thomas is an acclaimed British historian as well as a leading scholar in the field of new cultural history. Many of his works,such as Religion and the Decline of Magic and Man and the Natural World are internationally well known. Keith Thomas is also well noted for his advocacy of historical anthropology as a way to update historical methodology. His study of historical anthropology,together with that of Peter Burke and Alan Mac Farlane,has helped open a new dimension to and exerted a great impact on historical study.Thomas' historical anthropology has multiple theoretical origins. It was influenced,for instance,by British social anthropology,British Marxist History and Max Weber's theory on modernity. Drawing on all these theories,his study is a significant contribution to historical study,despite its inherent problems.
