彼此隔绝的个体——现象学视野中的经济学个体主义方法论

The Separated Individual:The Individualistic Methodology of Economics in the Vision of Phenomenology

个体主义方法论是西方主流经济学的基本研究方法,其核心观点往往被认为是不证自明的。但是这种不证自明恰恰不是绝对的,而是现代社会特定的理论与实践背景的产物。由于在对他人的理解的问题上采取了特定的立场,即认为对他人的理解都是通过类比推理实现的,才使得个体主义方法论成为可能。运用现象学方法进行分析可以发现,这一立场是站不住脚的,因此个体主义方法论并不是无庸置疑的。经济学要获得发展,在方法论领域必须实现变革。

Individualistic methodology is the basic research method of western mainstream economics,and its core ideas are often considered to be self-evident.But this self-evident is not absolute,and it is the product of the particular modern theory and social practice.As taking a specific position on the issue of understanding others,which achieves through analogical reasoning,it makes individualistic methodology possible.Using the phenomenological method to analysis we can find that this position is untenable,so the individualistic methodology is not beyond doubt.The methodology must be changed to promote the development of economics.
