第一次论战中现实主义者的误读及其学科意义

通常认为,在国际关系理论史上,有过数次论战。第一次论战在第二次世界大战前后,发生于理想主义学派和现实主义学派之间,这次论战奠定了传统现实主义的学科地位,往往被视为是国际关系理论中的一次超越。然而,这一论战实际上是单方面的,在很大程度上,是由现实主义者主导和构建的。通过对理想主义传统、现实主义传统以及理想主义国际关系理论的误读,现实主义理论宣扬了自己的优越性和科学性,形成了在本学科中的身份。对于理论传统和理论对手的误读,并不仅仅局限在第一次论战中,我们在阅读国际关系理论著作时需要更为审慎的思考和甄别。

Realists' Misinterpretation in the First Debate and Its Disciplinary Significance

There have appeared several debates in the history IRT. The first debate is generally said to happen between Idealism and Realism in the period around World War II. Through this debate Realism established its disciplinary position and was viewed as a progress in IRT. However, this debate was a one-sided debate and, to a large extent, was led and constructed by the Realists. In the debate, the Realists made a series of misinterpretation. Through the misinterpretation of Idealist tradition, of Realist tradition and of Idealist IRT, Realism proved its own superiority and scientific nature, as well as forming a disciplinary identity.
