自主知识体系视域下的标识性概念建构

Constructing Iconic Concepts from the Perspective of an Independent Knowledge System

建构本土自主知识体系以建构标识性概念作为出发点,标识性概念建构又以理解概念的构成要素和建构原则作为基础。概念由对象、意义、词汇和场域四种要素组成。四种要素衍生出标识性概念建构的四条原则:与对象相关联的是“差异性原则”,旨在廓清概念的边界;与意义相关联的是“同一性原则”,旨在提炼对象的本质属性;与词汇相关联的是“准确性原则”,旨在使概念以恰当的词汇得到表达;与场域相关联的是“谓述性原则”,旨在形成概念之间的相互解释关系。总体而言,一个理想的标识性概念应该满足以下标准:对象边界清晰、反映本质属性、词汇选择恰当和谓述关系明确。在建构本土自主知识体系的过程中,标识性概念还需要进一步操作化才能发挥其知识建构的功能。

The construction of China's independent knowledge system begins with the establishment of iconic concepts,with the understanding of conceptual components and construction principles forming the foundation.Social science concepts consist of four elements:object,meaning,vocabulary,and field.From these elements emerge four constructive principles of iconic concepts:the differential principle is associated with the object,aimed at clarifying the boundaries of concepts;the identical principle,which is associated with meaning,aims to extract the essential attributes of the object;the accuracy principle is associated with vocabulary,aiming to express concepts accurately and with appropriate terminology;and the predicative principle is associated with the field,aiming to establish mutual explanatory relationships between concepts.An ideal iconic concept should meet the following criteria:clear object boundaries,reflection of essential attributes,appropriate vocabulary selection,and clear predicative relationships.In the process of constructing China's independent knowledge system,iconic concepts still require further operationalization to fulfill their role in knowledge production.
