中国社会科学概念建构的基本策略——基于情境—价值的视角

Basic Strategies for the Construction of Social Science Concepts with Chinese Characteristics:From the Perspective of Context and Value

概念是建构知识大厦的基础,社会科学概念建立在情境和价值因素的基础上。不同性质的概念体系形成不同性质的社会科学知识体系,构建中国社会科学自主知识体系必须以构建符合中国情境—价值的概念体系为出发点。中国社会科学有着特殊的历史发展路径,移植性概念对中国社会科学发展有重要影响。以本土情境—本土价值为基础对移植性概念进行改造,成为本土概念建构的重要路径。依据移植性概念与本土情境—价值的符合程度,以若干政治学概念为案例,可以提炼出七种改造策略。除对移植性概念进行改造之外,本土标识性概念建构更加根本,体现在概念提炼、概念发明和概念归位三种策略上。近年来,对构建本土化概念体系的强调,表明中国现代性发展路径的转型,也使中国更有可能为世界社会科学的知识体系贡献新的元素。

Social science concepts are built on specific contexts and values,and conceptual systems of different natures form social science knowledge systems of different natures.The construction of China’s autonomous knowledge system of social sciences must start with constructing a conceptual system that conforms to China’s local context and values.According to China’s local context and value,this paper probes into the basic strategies for constructing social science concepts with Chinese characteristics:transforming transplanted concepts and constructing local iconic concepts.It has shown the transformation of China’s modernization paradigm,making it more likely for China to contribute new elements to the world social sciences knowledge system.
