社会学的学科体系构想

社会学研究中已有的三种类别的学科体系构想,虽各具特色,但都有待于进一步完善.社会学学科体系的建构要突出社会学作为一门独立学科的特殊性、科学性和应用性,以及学科内部各构成部分之间的关联性.它应包括基础社会学、范畴社会学、应用社会学和区域社会学四个部分.其中,基础社会学为其他部分提供理论和方法论的指导,是学科体系的基石;它和范畴社会学组成社会学学科体系的主体结构.

Theorizing the Disciplinary System of Sociology

Sociological studies have given birth to three approaches to theorizing the disciplinary system of sociology, each of which has its distinctive features and drawbacks. This paper argues that, in theorizing the disciplinary system of sociology, it is important to highlight such characteristics as uniqueness, scientificness and applicability of sociology as an independent discipline, as well as the relationships between each component of the disciplinary system, which includes basic sociology, categorical sociology, applied sociology and regional sociology. Basic sociology is the foundation of the system and provides both theoretical and methodological guidance for the other three components. Basic sociology and categorical sociology together constitute the main structure of the disciplinary system.
