女性主义认识论:对国际关系主流认识论的批判与建构

认识论的分殊是导致国际关系学派分立的重要原因。主流认识论从个体主义角度,通过实证主义途径,力图证明国际关系的客观实在性。以"自主男人"为原型塑造国家,以男人主导理性和国际关系实践为前提,主流认识论塑造了带有男性特征的国际关系理论。针对主流认识论的性别特征,女性主义主张添加并确立妇女的认知主体地位,将女性实践及其经验作为国际关系认知的基本来源,从而形成了经验论和立场论两种独特的女性主义认识论。以女性主义立场引导经验论,对主流国际关系研究进行批判性分析,能够催生出一种全新的女性主义国际关系理念。

Feminist Epistemology:Criticism and Construction of Mainstream IR Epistemology

The difference in epistemology is the main cause which leads to the emergence of different international relations schools.From the perspective of individualism and positivism,mainstream epistemology tries to prove the objectivity of international relations.According to the model of independent man,mainstream epistemology establishes the premise that man dominants reason and international practice,shapes international relations theory with male characteristic.In view of the gender characteristics of mainstream epistemology,feminism advocates adding and establishing women's cognitive status,and takes women's practices and experiences as basic sources of the knowledge of international relations.This constitutes feminist empiricism and standpoint.Guiding empiricism by standpoint,criticizing epistemology of mainstream can create a new feminist concept of international relations.
