国际关系理论研究中的理性主义范式及其批判

“理性”是西方文化中的一个核心概念，是理解西方文明以及西方国家行为方式的关键点，也是西方国际关系理论的重要理论基础。因与“人是理性的”基本观点契合，与无政府状态下民族国家最大限度获取国家利益的需要及国际社会存在和发展的需要相适应，当前以理性主义为核心的西方国际关系理论主导着整个国际关系理论学界。理性主义研究范式在解释以及解决众多国际问题方面有重要的指导意义，但其价值理性的缺失以及对主体性的忽视、导致其现实解释力不足。

Rationalism paradigm and its critique in the study of international relations theory

As a core concept of Western culture, rationality is the key point in understanding Western civilization and behavior of Western countries, and it is also an important theoretical basis of Western International Relations theory. Currently, Western International Relations theory, of which the core is rationalism, is in harmony with the belief ＂People are rational＂, which meets the needs of maximizing national interest in anarchy and maintaining the existence and development of International Society, so it has been dominating the entire International Relation theory academia. Rationalism paradigm presented in Western International Relations theory provides an important guidance for explaining and solving numerous international issues. Rationalism paradigm, however, neglects value rationality and subjectivity, and lacks interpretation force for reality.
