日本“近代家庭”论的理论逻辑研究

Research on Theoretical Logic of Japanese “Modern Family” Theory

尽管"近代家庭"论并非诞生于日本,但是20世纪80年代被日本引用以后,在日本社会学界得到广泛传播,并产生了深远的影响。日本家庭社会学研究也主要围绕该理论展开。该理论在日本从出现到广泛应用,并没有经过充分的社会学理论逻辑探讨和方法论辨析,以至于在面临历史人口学的最新研究成果和日趋复杂的社会事实所提出的反证面前,"近代家庭"论都无法做出满意的答辩而面临理论自身的困境。归根结底,都是由"近代家庭"论理论逻辑的弊端所造成。因此,文章侧重对日本"近代家庭"论的理论逻辑进行研究,找出其理论困境的逻辑根源。

Although ＂modern family＂ theory was not put forward in Japan, it was brought in and diffused with a profound influence by Japanese sociology circles in 1980 s. Nowadays, Japanese family sociology research was primarily on the basis of this theory. However, since its emergence in Japan, this theory had never been discussed by theoretical logic of sociology or analyzed by methodology. As a result, when confronting the latest research data of historical demography and complicated social facts, this theory could not give a satisfying explanation but put itself to a th=eoretical dilemma. It was ultimately caused by the drawback of theoretical logic. Hence, this paper aims to find out the theoretical logic of ＂modern family＂ theory and points out its drawback.
