摘要
英国学派有两个最基本的方法论立场 ,一是人文主义或非实证主义方法论 ;二是从整体主义的、文化的角度研究国际关系。以巴特菲尔德、怀特、布尔、文森特等对国际社会的不同理解方法为例 ,可以看出英国学派的研究方法也处于不断变化之中 ,大体上先后经历了以下几个阶段 :从历史神学方法向比较史学方法转变 ,从传统研究方法向社会科学方法转变 ,并逐渐靠近社会批判理论与后现代主义等多元方法。英国的历史与学术传统、国际关系与世界格局的变化、学派本身的发展规律与代表人物的理论创新意识以及美国国际关系理论思潮的影响 ,这些因素推动了其方法的演变。
From the perspectives of philosophical methodology, the English School is humane and anti-positivist on the one hand, and holistic and culture-oriented on the other hand. Related to these positions, the members of the School have been showing great and incessant interest in valuing and quoting classic literature in their arguments. The different views among the membersonhow to understand and analyze international affairs indicate that the methodologies of the School have been changing all the time: from theological history to comparative history, from history philosophy to social science, and from the above-mentioned ones to the Critical Theory and postmodernism. In the evolution, four factors,such as the tradition of English Empire and the influence of the Second Debate,have played an importantrole. It is important to point out that the study of the relationship between the English School and social Constructivism is of great importance to the development of international political sociology as a discipline.
