演化经济学面临思维转向:从生物演化到社会演化

The Turn- around of Evolutionary Economics Thoughts:From Biological Evolutionism to Social Evolutionism

目前演化经济学中占主导地位的是生物演化思维,它使用生物学隐喻和还原论方法,将自然主义和社会达尔文主义引入到社会经济现象的分析中。但实际上,人类世界与自然界之间存在巨大差异,这表现在行动主体、演化特性、演化动力、演化进程以及演化结果等诸方面。一般地,新奇性和反还原论更适用于社会演化的分析。因此,就有必要区分生物演化和社会演化两种分析思维,运用和发展社会演化思维来分析社会经济现象。

Currently, biological evolutionism is dominant in evolutionary economics. By using the biological metaphor and reductionism, it takes naturalism and social Darwinism into the analysis on the social and economical phenomena. However, there is a huge difference between the human world and nature, which is reflected in action subject, evolution characteristics, evolution force, evolution process and evolution result, and so on. Generally, novelty and anti - reductionism is more suitable for the analysis of social evolutionism. Therefore, it is necessary to distinguish between biological evolutionism and social evolutionism, should apply and development social evolutionism to analyze the social and economical phenomena.
