社会学自主知识体系建构的政策实践路径——基于东亚的研究视角

The Policy Practice Path of the Sociology Independent Knowledge System Construction--From the Perspective of East Asian Study

长期以来,在东亚社会学自主知识体系构建的过程中,学界更多地将研究目光聚焦于欧美社会学的知识引进及由此而衍生出的东亚社会学自身的本土化问题。虽然上述路径对于当代东亚社会学学科发展至关重要,但学界似乎普遍对社会政策实践路径所具有的社会学自主知识体系建构的功能有所忽略。事实上,社会政策实践与社会学知识体系构建之间存在着较为密切的互动关系:一方面,社会学可以为社会政策的制定提供基本的理论前提预设和知识论、价值论意义上的支撑;另一方面,在社会政策的实践推进过程中,随着政策的不断推出及付诸实践,也会为社会学自主知识体系提供新的概念命题,增添新的知识内涵。此外,比较社会政策也可为社会学知识体系开辟新的研究视域。社会政策实践之所以可以为社会学自主知识体系增加新的理论命题和分析灵感,主要是因为,在现实中政府部门往往要直面真实紧迫、且不能回避的社会问题,其问题发现的时间早,解决问题亦需要政府、市场、社会间复杂的互动。当然,社会学的学科价值取向也可为社会政策提供特定的理念支持。

For a long time,in the process of constructing the independent knowledge system of East Asian sociology,the academic community has focused more on the introduction of European and American sociology knowledge as well as the localization of East Asian sociology,which is derived from it.Although the above paths are crucial to the development of sociology in contemporary East Asia,the academic community seems to have generally ignored the value of the social policy practice path in the construction of sociological independent knowledge system.In fact,there is a close interaction between social policy practice and the construction of sociological knowledge system:On the one hand,sociology can provide basic theoretical presuppositions and support in the sense of epistemology and axiology for the formulation of social policy.On the other hand,with the continuous introduction and implementation of policy,it will also provide new conceptual propositions and add new knowledge connotations to the sociology independent knowledge system in the process of practical promotion of social policy.In addition,comparative social policy can also open up new research horizons for sociological knowledge systems.The reason why social policy practice can add new theoretical propositions and analytical inspiration to the independent knowledge system of sociology is mainly because in reality,government departments often have to face real and urgent social problems that cannot be avoided.The problems are discovered early,and solving them requires complex interactions among government,market and society.Of course,the disciplinary value orientation of sociology can also provide specific conceptual support for social policy.
