公共管理的认知科学研究:范式挑战与核心议题

A Cognitive Approch to Public Administration:Paradigm Challenges and Key Issues

如何以认知科学的范式进行公共管理研究,是关乎两个学科群的重大学术战略问题:包含6个学科的认知科学进入公共管理将极大地扩展公共管理的知识边界,但公共管理的组织—社会性也使认知科学的个体范式受到挑战。从国家逻辑看,公共管理是基于文化—政治理念诉求,以政府为主导的公共部门寻求政体合法性与有效性的管理活动,其范式不是个体理性的,而是价值情感—工具理性统合的组织、社会范式。故而,公共管理的认知科学研究的关键变量应转移至以spirituality为核心的文化、意识形态等信念变量,体现公共性的制度—道德的规则变量及利益诉求的理性最大化变量。二者交叉可能带来"认知科学的公共管理认知学"和"公共管理的公共管理认知学"两个路径与知识体。

How to push theinterdisciplinary study between public administration（PA） and cognitive science（CS） concerns the development strategy of the two subject groups. Merging the CS with its six disciplines into PA will stretch greatly the border of PA, while the social and institutional nature of PA will also challenge the individual paradigm of CS. The state logic of PA,seeking the legitimacy and effectiveness of governmentbased on the cultural spirituality, is different from the rational logic of individual actions. The fundamental questions of the interdisciplinary study between PA and CS should consider three types of key variables： （1） culture and ideology, which center around spirituality; （2） organizational regulations, which are based on the political institution and norms; and （3） economic interests of individuals or social classes. The interdisciplinary study between PA and CS will possibly take two approaches： one is the PA framework with CS; and the other is CS framework with CS. The combination of the two fields will be an exciting artistic breakthrough of knowledge.
