哲学理性与社会学合理性之关系

从词源学、概念发展史与概念特征三个角度论述哲学理性和社会学合理性的关系，从词源学来看，理性偏向于哲学上使用的本体论、认识论概念，合理性更多地指一种和人的思想、认识、评价相关的社会学概念。从概念发展来看，二者经历了五个阶段：古希腊、中世纪本体论理性，近代认识论理性，启蒙运动社会合理性，现代合理性和后现代合理性；五个阶段是一个逐步由哲学理性走向社会学合理性的过程。

The Relation Between Philosophical Reason and Sociological Rationality

This essay discusses the relation between philosophical reason and sociological rationality from the three perspectives of etymology,concept development,and concept feature.From etymology,reason is inclined to be a concept of philosophical ontology and epistemology while rationality,in a large degree,belong to a sociological concept that concerns people's thinking, learning and assessing.And from concept development,both experience five phases: ancient Greece,the ontological reason of medieval times,the epistemological reason of early modern times,the sociological rationality of enlightenment,modern rationality and postmodern rationality.All these five phases display a gradual process from philosophical reason to sociological rationality.And from their respective features,reason emphasizes transcendentalism and absolute generality while rationality emphasizes empiricism and relative generality.
