边疆研究及边疆学学科体系建设的哲思收敛初探

A preliminary philosophical exploration of the borderland studies and its disciplinary construction

回顾中国大陆学界20多年的边疆理论研究进程,对如何构筑中国边疆学的问题,邢玉林、马大正等先生早就提出了跨学科研究的倡议,给业内研究以启迪,而如何达到跨学科研究且能够跨通的目标,则需要学人要有哲思并提出基于学理分析的构想。在建构边疆学的理论探讨中,把成形的构想作为一种猜想(假说)提出来,是符合人类知识体系建构规律的。作为中国边疆研究的学术猜想,应该符合马克思主义哲学对世界的认识论,承认物质运动的统一性,也应该符合科学哲学的一般原理,即认知新旧理论的范式转换是学术进步的门径。其中,经过哲思的范式创新,将研究对象进行无穷指向与有穷集合的筛选之后,通过关键词集群的分析,返还到边疆研究的问题域和原始域问题之中,寻找交叉研究即跨学科研究的跨通,以找到通往可以看到“场域”的门径,经过对场域运动的分析,最终有可能在多学科自洽于边疆研究之下完成“边疆统一场论”。

A review of the past 20-year theoretical research on the borderland by Chinese scholars reveals that Mr.Xing Yulin,Mr.Ma Dazheng and others have put forward the interdisciplinary approach to the construction of Chinese borderland studies.However,the realization of the interdisciplinary goal requires scholars to put forward relevant theories first and then put them into practice.In the theoretical discussion on the construction of borderland studies,the adoption of a mature idea as a hypothesis is in line with the law of the construction of human knowledge system.Thus,borderland studies as an academic hypothesis should accept the material unity of the world,and accord with the epistemology of Marxist philosophy and the general principle of scientific philosophy,that is,the paradigm-related transformation of new and old theories leads to academic progress.This transformation covers the following aspects:the philosophical innovation of the paradigms will lead to the choice of research objects through infinite signifiers and finite collection;the analysis of the keyword clusters will benefit the borderland studies of the problem domain and especially the original problem domain in the process of finding an interdisciplinary research approach or the“field”;the analysis of the dynamic field theory might finally establish a“borderland-based unified field theory”through integrating borderland studies in multidisciplinary studies.
