摘要
对于方法论个体主义与方法论整体主义的经典论争,索耶提出社会突现的理论体系,在本体论个体一元主义的基础上强调社会性质的整体性,揭示社会突现具有不可还原、下向因果、非模拟不可预测、层次性等基本特征,构建了用突现概念诠释的整体主义理论体系。这种社会科学哲学的突现整体主义是对经典突现主义的继承与发展,突出了兼容与超越还原的特性。其不可还原和下向因果论证虽然面临国内外学者的批评,但核心思想依然成立。
R.K. Sawyer puts forward the theoretical system of social emergence to deal with the debate of methodological individualism and methodological holism. Based on the ontological individualism, he emphasizes the wholeness of social properties and reveals its four basic features of irreducibility, down- ward causation, unpredictability and hierarchy, and has thus constructed the emergent holism characterized as compatible with and beyond reduction in the philosophy of social sciences. Although its irreducibility and downward causation are under attack, the core idea remains valid.
