社会科学的“真理体制”悖论——整体论视角下的反思

The "Regimes of Truth" Paradox in Social Sciences:A Reflection from the Perspective of Holism

人们在反思为何当代中国社会科学领域大师匮乏、成果平庸时,通常追问的是社会科学的学术体制和社会科学的评价机制,较少在中国社会发展整体图景意义上反思中国社会科学。以整体论视角来看,中国社会科学发展进程中隐含的真理体制悖论,乃是中国社会科学滞后之源,这一悖论包括了伦理叙事悖论、话语正当性叙事悖论和真理资源需求叙事悖论三个基本方面。只有从消解真理体制悖论入手,才能真正为中国社会科学创新发展奠定新的起点。

People tend to point to academic systems and evaluation mechanisms to explain the failure of Chinese social sciences in giving birth to great masters and globally influential achievement.These explanations fail to take the broad view of Chinas development into consideration.From the perspective of holism,the primary cause of the backwardness of Chinese social sciences lies in the 'regime of truth ' paradox hidden in the development progress of Chinese social sciences,including ethical narrative paradox,narrative paradox of discourse legitimacy and narrative paradox of requirements for the source of truth.Therefore,a fresh start for the innovative development of Chinese social sciences can be established only through diminishing the 'regime of truth' paradox.
