论“三大体系”建设的一个途径:“学科信息化”——试以“信息心理学”为例说明其有效性

To Build “Three Systems” of Philosophy and Social Sciences by a Way of “Discipline Informatization”

文章的基本内容围绕着“学科信息化”的“是什么”、“为什么”、与“怎么样”而展开。作者提出一个初步的认识:与自然科学的全人类统一的知识体系完全不同,特定民族环境与文化氛围中的哲学社会科学必然(也必须)有它自己的“特色”。创造出具有中国特色的哲学社会科学知识体系,并且归纳、抽象出它具有“普遍意义”的理论形态,以作为国际思想界、学术界的公共产品,是当代中国人文学者的重要使命。而且,作者认为,社会生产、生活方式的“信息化”,已经催生出了信息社会特有的“时代精神”,它主要表现为信息科学的世界观与方法论;运用这个有别于工业社会的思想工具,重新认识人文社会现象、重新考察哲学社会科学学科,就是一个实现“学科信息化”的过程。这种人类思维方式的重大战略性转型是一个难得的“历史机遇”,我们中国学者必须“敢为人先”,“独树一帜”。每一个哲学社会科学学科,都应当在信息科学世界观和方法论的指引下,建设自己特有的“三大体系”(“话语体系”、“学术体系”和“学科体系”)。作者以构建“信息心理学”为例,简要地分析它的三大体系,说明学科信息化的确是一条有效的途径。最后,作者说明了“学科信息化”过程中的“中国特色”和“普遍意义”。

The basic content of this paper revolves around “what”, “why”, and “how” of “discipline informatization”. The author puts forward a preliminary understanding that completely different from the unified knowledge system of natural science, philosophy and social sciences in the specific national environment and cultural atmosphere must have its own “characteristics”. It is an important mission of contemporary Chinese Humanities scholars to create a knowledge system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics, and to summarize and abstract its theoretical form of “universal significance” as a public product of international ideological and academic circles. Moreover, the author believes that the “informatization” of social production and lifestyle has given birth to the unique “spirit of the times” in the information society, which is mainly manifested in the worldview and methodology of information science. With the usage of this thinking tool different from the industrial society, re-understanding the humanistic and social phenomena and re-examining the disciplines of philosophy and social sciences is a way to realize the “discipline informatization”. This great strategic transformation of human thinking mode is a rare “historical opportunity”. Chinese academics must “dare to be the first” and “be unique”. Each discipline of philosophy and social sciences should build its own unique “three systems” (discourse system, academic system, and discipline system) under the guidance of the worldview and methodology of information science. Taking the construction of “informational psychology” as an example, the author briefly analyzes its three systems, and shows that discipline informatization is indeed an effective way. Finally, the author explains the “Chinese characteristics” and “universal significance” in the process of “discipline informatization”.
