经验科学、意义理解与实践批判——思想政治教育学科知识的三重维度

Empirical Science,Comprehension of Meanings,and Criticism of Practice——The Triple Dimensions of Subject Matter Knowledge of Ideological and Political Education

思想政治教育学科发展30周年带来的学界评估表明,思想政治教育学科处于因国家学科政策主导带来的他律状态。按照现代社会科学哲学设定的学科知识规范,思想政治教育学科知识应该具备经验科学、意义理解和实践批判三重维度。以经验科学审视,现有思想政治教育学科知识存在着"宏大理论"和"抽象经验主义"两种极端现象;西方社会科学哲学关于实证主义与诠释学的论辩表明,思想政治教育学科知识应该既追求客观真理性,又要遵循意义理解的诠释学规范;现代社会科学应该在经验科学和意义理解基础上生成实践批判维度,而现有思想政治教育学科知识离此规范尚有差距。

The academic evaluation brought about by 30-years discipline development of the ideo-logical and political education shows that it is in a state of heteronomy dominated by the national dis-cipline policy. According to the standard set by modern social philosophy of science,the subject knowledge of ideological and political education should have three dimensions：empirical science,in-terpretation and criticism of practice. Examined by the empirical science,we find that there are two types of extreme phenomena：“grand theory”and“abstract empiricism”in the discipline knowledge of ideological and political education. Debates of the Western social philosophy of science on positiv-ism and hermeneutics show that the discipline knowledge of ideological and political education should not only pursue the objective truth,but also follow the standard of interpretation of hermeneu-tics. The modern social science should generate dimensionality of criticism of practice based on em-pirical science and interpretation,and the discipline knowledge of ideological and political education is still behind the standard.
