从因果性到一般关联性初探

自然科学以探究事物的因果性为根本任务,因果性可以表现为严格决定论也可以表现为统计决定论。受自然科学的影响,近代社会科学也强调对因果性知识的追求,特别是统计决定论的因果性已经成为社会科学研究中的重要认识论和方法论。然而,在面对和处理社会科学诸多问题时,采用因果性分析和解释存在着许多理论上和实际中的困难和局限,因此必须突破因果性框架,寻求更为广泛有效的关系理论研究,特别是在当前,首先应该建立与学科发展要求相适应的一般关联性的关系理论的重要概念和范畴。

A Preliminary Research From the Causality to the General Relevance

It is the fundamental task to study the causality of things in the research of natural science.The causality can be represented as strict determinism or statistical determinism.In the influence of natural science,social science also emphasizes to pursuit causality knowledge.In particular,the causality of statistical determinism has become the important epistemology and methodology.However,to face and deal with the social phenomena and problems,there are many practical difficulties and limitations to apply causality analysis and interpretation.Therefore,it must breakthrough the causality framework,seek more extensive and effective research of the relevance theory,especially establish the important concepts and categories of the general relevance theory in the current.
