自然主义的复兴:巴斯卡的批判自然主义

Revival of Naturalism: Bhaskar's Critical Naturalism

基于科学的先验实在论观点,巴斯卡将自然科学的先验实在论哲学应用于社会科学中,建构了一种有限的、批判的、非还原论的自然主义即批判自然主义。批判自然主义通过对自然主义的辩护和重建,试图为社会科学中自然主义与反自然主义、个人主义与整体主义、结构与行动等一系列二元论问题提供一种新的研究视角,具有重要的方法论意义。

On the basis of a transcendental realist account of science and by applying philosophy of transcendental realism of natural science to social science,Bhaskar constructs a qualified,critical and non-reductionist naturalism,namely critical naturalism. Critical naturalism tries to provide a new perspective for such questions of dualism in the social science as naturalism and anti-naturalism,individualism and holism,and structure and action by the defense and reconstruction of naturalism,which is of great methodological significance.
