建构农民概念的逻辑——基于“结构-过程-属性”框架的动态分析

Logic of Constructing Concept of Farmers——A Dynamic Analysis Based on Framework of"Structure-Process-Attribute"

科学、准确的农民概念是研究和解决农民问题的逻辑起点。融合强调概念属性特征的传统与新的概念结构理论,形成“结构—过程—属性”概念建构动态分析框架,对既有界定农民概念的实践与成果进行全面、系统分析。研究表明,概念结构、建构原则与(或)属性特征方面存在的差异是导致农民概念长期不能统一的主要原因;随着时代发展,农民概念在不断演进和扩展;总体上,从事农业生产、住在农村与具有农业户口是农民概念最显著的三个特征;二层次结构是建构农民概念的主流,三层次结构次之;建构过程中充分必要与家族相似原则均有运用。建议未来以因果论、本体论及实在论的概念观建构农民概念。

Developing a scientific and accurate concept of farmer is the logical starting point to study the issues on farmers.Integrate the traditional and new conceptual structure theories that emphasize the charac-teristics of conceptual attributes to form a"structure-process-attribute"conceptual construction and dynamic analysis framework,and then employ it to draw a comprehensive and systematical analysis on the existing practices and achievements of defining the concept of farmers.The study found that the differences in conceptual structure,construction principles and(or)attributes were the main reasons for the long-term unification of the concept;along with the development of an era,the concept of farmer is constantly evolving,enriching and expanding.In summary,undertaking agricultural production,living in rural areas and possessing agricultural household register were the three most significant characteristics of the concept;the second-level structure was the mainstream in constructing the concept,followed by the three-level structure;both the principle of sufficiency and necessity and family similarity were employed in the process of construction.It was suggested that the concept of farmer would be dynamically constructed from causal,ontological and realist conceptual views in the future.
