政治科学发展历程中的经验主义与理性主义

Empiricism and Rationalism in the Development Process of Political Science

经验主义与理性主义是政治科学研究的两种基本认识论范式。两者的矛盾贯穿于政治科学研究发展的始终,并推动着政治科学研究的发展。经验主义与理性主义在政治科学研究中之所以形成如此激烈的矛盾之争,主要与两者逻辑思维方式的差异、对政治科学性的不同理解及其偏差,以及政治现象的复杂性有关。运用马克思主义唯物辩证法对经验主义与理性主义的关系进行批判和重构,有利于推动政治科学的不断进步。

Empiricism and rationalism are two basic epistemological paradigm of political science. The contradiction between them runs through the development process of political science, and promotes the study of political science. This serious contradiction is mainly from their different approach of logic thinking, their different understanding and deviation of political science, and also from the political phenomena＇s complexity. We should take Marxism dialectics to criticize and reconstruct the relationship between empiricism and rationalism, which is helpful to facilitate political science ＇ s development.
