小民族、社会科学与人类文化

通过分析小民族的处境,探讨了小民族对社会科学及人类发展所起的作用,提出了两个论点:一是在人类探讨自身历史、探讨自身方式和探讨自身问题诸方面,小民族为社会科学做出了贡献;二是文明多样性是人类生存的必要条件,小民族文化是人类文明的重要部分,其破坏将导致人类发展的“特化”。故此,唯将问题意识与人文关怀结合,社会科学才有出路。

Small Ethnic Groups,Social Sciences,and Human Cultures

This paper analyzes the condition of small ethnic groups, explores their roles in the development of social sciences and human progress, and put forward two arguments: First, small ethnic groups have made contributions to social sciences in humans' exploration of their own history , methods , and problems . Second, diversity of civilization is the prerequisite for human survival. Small ethnic groups are an important part of human civilization, destruction of which will lead to "specialization". Therefore, only when problem consciousness is combined with humane care, can we find a way out for social sciences.
