理性与情感:社会学研究的议题之辨

Rationality and Emotion:Debate on the Topic of Sociological Research

在社会学研究的传统理路上存在着两种基本取向:"强理性弱情感"和"强情感弱理性"。人类文明社会是在理性与情感双重驱动下不断发展的,理性与情感促生着社会结构的生产与再生产。然而在传统理性主义的影响下,理性却以压倒性的优势对情感实施着控制,导致诸多现代性问题。现代社会学应更加注重情感方面的研究,努力探求情感与理性的融合路径,推动人类社会的全面发展。

There are two basic orientations in the traditional way of sociological research： ＂rationality attention-emotional neglect＂ and ＂emotional attention-rationality neglect＂.Human civilization society is driven by rationality and emotion which promote the production and reproduction of social structure.However,under the influence of traditional rationalism,rationality has an overwhelming advantage over emotions,which lead to many modern problems.Modern sociological research should focus more on the emotion and pay efforts to explore the path to integrate emotion and rationality to promote the comprehensive development of human society.
