社会转型与我国大学的社会定位

Social Transition and Social Position of Chinese Universities

社会“三元结构理论”以“市民社会—经济—国家”为分析框架认识社会结构,为社会转型时期大学定位提供了一个新的视角。从社会“三元结构”的角度看,大学是以志愿求公益的社会非营利组织,是以知识传授和创新为基础的学者的组织。大学作为特殊的知识生产机构,探索高深学问是其产生和发展的逻辑起点,与政府组织和营利组织有着显著的区别,必然要承担起作为社会思想库的使命。

The social ＂three-component structure theory＂ takes ＂citizen society-economy-country＂ as tts anatyzing framework to recognize social structure, which offers a new perspective for the university positioning in the social transition stage. From the view of social three-component structure, university is a non-profit social organization for the sake of public welfare with aspiration, as well as a scholars＂ orgnization based on passing on knowledge compartment and innovation. As a special knowledge production organization, to explore profound learning is the logic starting point of university ＂s emerging and development. It is quite different from governmental and profitable organizations. As a result, it will inevitably undertake the mission as social thinktank.
