摘要
早在社会学诞生之初,其创始人孔德就将社会学确定为一门关于"社会的科学",称社会学为"实证的哲学"。由于科学自身以及科学研究方法存在的局限性,这也意味着作为科学的社会学一系列问题的开始。正因如此,对于社会学的科学性含义,社会学实证方法的重要性,定量研究对于社会学理论发展的基础性意义等,有必要作进一步探讨。
August Comte, the founder of sociology, named the new discipline as a" science of society" and called it" positivistic philosophy. "However, sociology as a science has been facing a series of challenges due to the limitations of scientific methods and science itself. Therefore, it is necessary to revisit the scientific nature of sociology as a science, the importance of empirical methods, and the relationship between the quantitative research and theoretical conceptualization.
