规范性概念研究:问题、路径与趋势

Normative Concepts:Problems,Research Paradigms and Trends

规范性概念在人类语言系统中别具一格,且颇为重要。学界关于规范性概念的研究路径不一,各有侧重。从研究主题上看,主要涉及规范性概念的分类及其特征,规范性概念的本质、属性与结构,规范性概念的意义及使用问题,规范性概念在意识、推理与社会交往中的角色和作用,以及规范性概念的形而上学问题。关于这些问题的研究,主要有语言学和哲学两种路径,并且这两种路径存在融合的趋势,加上认知科学、脑科学、生物学、人类学、政治学、法学、统计学等学科及其方法的介入,规范性概念研究得到了进一步深化,呈现出更加多元与综合的趋势。对规范性概念研究的总体情况进行一番细致的梳理,将有助于加深我们对规范性概念问题域的理解和认识,也有助于深入把握相关领域的研究动态,同时为我们的进一步研究打下基础。

Normative concepts are unique and important in human language systems.The research path of normative concept in academic circle is different,each has its own emphasis.From the perspective of research topics,it mainly involves the classification and characteristics of normative concepts,the nature,attribute and structure of normative concepts,the meaning and use of normative concepts,the role of normative concepts in consciousness,reasoning and social interaction as well as the metaphysics of normative concepts.There are two pathes to study these problems:Linguistics and philosophy,and there is a trend of integration of these two pathes.With the intervention of cognitive science,brain science,biology,anthropology,political science,law,statistics and other disciplines and methods,normative concept research has been further deepened,showing a more diversified and comprehensive trend.A detailed review of the general situation of normative concept research will contribute to deepen our understanding of the problems in this field of research,and also help us to grasp the research trends of relevant fields,and lay a foundation for our further research.
