②伍德1964年在哈佛大学获得博士学位的论文题为《革命时期美利坚政体的缔造》(The Creation of an American Polity in the Revolutionary Era),五年后正式成书出版时,标题改作《美利坚共和国的缔造》。这一改动使文字更简洁,主题更明确,气势更宏伟,含义也更丰富。尤其是以“republic”取代“an American polity”,鲜明地凸显了主题,提升了研究的意义。See James Henretta,et al.,eds.,The Transformation of Early American History,New York:Alfred A.Knopf,1991,p.264.

⑤波科克曾说,他和昆丁·斯金纳一起致力于把政治思想史改造成“政治语言和话语史”,关注“作为言说世界代理人的思想家”所表现出的“表述和概念化的行动”,以及制约他们言说同时又为其言说行动所改变的“语言和修辞的模板”。See J.G.A.Pocock,“The Machiavellian Moment Revisited:A Study in History and Ideology,”The Journal of Modern History,Vol.53,No.1(Mar.1981),p.50.

⑦不过,在政治思想史领域并未形成一个与“剑桥学派”平分秋色的“哈佛学派”。其原因或许是贝林和伍德都未把自己定位为政治思想史家,他们的兴趣是政治史;贝林本人则在80年代后转向人口社会史,他后期所指导的博士生的选题也多与政治思想史无关。

②据美国学者罗伯特·谢尔霍普分析,“共和综论”的形成有着悠长的学术脉络,贝林和伍德的贡献是总其成。以往,美国史学界通行的看法是,共和主义作为一种政体观念,对美国革命时期的政体建设没有多大的影响,而且它在美国的流行和广泛接受,也是19世纪初的事。后来,经过许多学者的点滴努力,对共和主义的内涵和渊源的理解不断深化,最终在贝林和伍德的著作中臻于系统化;尤其是伍德的著作,不再仅仅把共和主义视为一套政体观念,而是一种涉及社会各方面的、具有强大塑造力的意识形态,构成美国革命者探索共和政体和形成新的政治理念的语境,因而这本书对“共和综论”的形成具有关键性的意义。美国学者丹尼尔·罗杰斯也说,伍德的《缔造》标志着共和主义首次成为一个“明晰的组织性主题”。他还略带调侃地把共和主义范式分成哈佛派(贝林和伍德)和圣路易斯派(波科克及其学生),称两者到20世纪80年代才有共同语言,但在方法论和解释方面仍存在明显的差别。See Robert E.Shalhope,“Toward a Republican Synthesis:The Emergence of an Understanding of Republicanism in American Historiography,”The William and Mary Quarterly,3rd ser.,Vol.29,No.1(Jan.1972),pp.49-80;Daniel T.Rodgers,“Republicanism:The Career of a Concept,”The Journal of American History,Vol.79,No.1(June 1992),pp.16,17-20.
