文化视阈下的社会——基于本体论、主体体验及方法论的考察

Society in the Horizon of Culture——A Research Based on Ontology,Subjective Experience and Methodology

20世纪60年代以来当代世界经历一系列社会转型,不同的社会范畴在对社会转型进行本体性分析的同时,也隐含着文化世界对社会形态的建构与重塑。在主体体验的维度,社会世界与文化世界的融合成为个体化时代重要的生存情境,对社会生活的主观认识与意义阐释成为主体体验及生活实践的重要组成部分。与此同时,社会学研究方法论也在经历文化转向,文化在社会学解释框架中的自主性及重要地位得到认可。"社会虚化"的理论表述,反映出在社会世界与文化世界相互交融、相互建构的理论及现实语境下,当代社会及当代社会学已经进入一个"新"的文化时代。

Contemporary society has undergone a series of transformations since 1960s. Different social categories carried out the ontological analysis on social transformations, implying the construction and remolding of social formations through cultural world. In the dimension of subjective experience, the fusion of social world and cultural world has been the important existent context in individualization time so the subjective recognition and meaning interpretation of social life has become an important part of subjective experience and life practice. Meanwhile, sociological research methodology is also undergoing cultural transformation. The autonomy and significance of culture in the framework of sociological interpretation has been accepted. The academic expression Emptiness of Society well reflects that under the theoretical and real context of inter - fusion and interconstruction between social world and cultural world, contemporary society and sociology has already walked into a new cultural time.
