争议

戈尔茨坦是一位顶尖的西方藏语学家和西藏政治史学者,一直相当富有成果。他的作品中的很多内容具有争议,藏人中的民族主义者经常质疑他的意图[2],并认为戈尔茨坦的立场亲中,指控其研究经常得到中国政府的协助,能够从中国政府方面拿到其它西方学者得不到的材料。支持西藏独立的西藏流亡作家嘉央诺布指其著作抹黑西藏历史,并引用诺贝尔经济学奖得主阿马蒂亚·森的话:“可疑的历史无法为可疑的政治辩护”。[3][4]然而,戈尔茨坦其实是以中立的观点来描述西藏,[5]其《西藏现代史》系列被历史学家本诺·韦纳描述为“数十年来对中部西藏社会和历史的开创性学术成果”,[6]学者杰弗里·霍普金斯亦表示“这本书值得高度赞扬,因为它首次尝试对1913年至1951年的西藏政治进行中立而全面的描述”,[7]而美国历史学家莫里斯·罗萨比英语Morris Rossabi也对其作品有类似评价。[8]站在第三方角度,戈尔茨坦对于西藏历史的观点无论与西藏流亡人士还是中国政府的观点相比均有明显的区别。以后者为例,中华人民共和国政府声称西藏是明朝的一部分、明朝继承了元朝对西藏的主权,但戈尔茨坦则持完全不同观点,认为“明朝皇帝对该地区没有行使任何行政权力。明朝皇帝授予藏族领导人许多头衔,但不像蒙古人那样授予权威。明朝皇帝授予已经掌权的藏人爵位,只不过承认了政治现实”。[9]但不管怎样,戈尔茨坦是一位资料工作做得比较好的学者,即使不同意他的观点的人,也很重视他所收集的文献和实地调查资料。

家庭
