波普尔社会科学哲学中的制度主义理论探析

Analysis of Institutionalism in Popper's philosophy of Social Science

制度主义理论是波普尔社会科学哲学中的重要内容,缘起于波普尔反对心理主义的现实需要,制度主义理论涉及波普尔的反心理主义、社会进步理论、“零星社会工程学”等内容,标志着波普尔本人由方法论的个体主义向整体主义理论的悄然转变,也标志着方法论个体主义由强方法论个体主义向弱方法论个体主义的过渡,同时自制度主义理论提出和发展后,波普尔学派的其他成员就沿着方法论个体主义和制度主义两条路径并行发展,从而使得波普尔的制度主义理论在方法论个体主义的发展史上起着承上启下的重要作用。

Institutionalism is the important content of Popper’s philosophy of Social Science,which originated from the reality that Popper opposed psychologism.Institutionalism involves Popper’s anti psychologism,the theory of social progress,“piecemeal social engineering”and other contents,and marks Popper himself from methodological individualism to methodological holism quietly,and also marks the transition of methodological individualism from strong methodological individualism to weak methodological individualism.Since the institutionalism put forward and developed,other members of the Popperian School followed the methodological individualism and institutionalism two parallel path,which makes institutionalism play an important role in the development of methodological individualism history.
