摘要
国内国际关系学界存在着实证研究和非实证研究两类研究取向孰是孰非的争论。从实证主义的含义及其遭受的质疑出发,作者深入阐述了用实证主义研究国际关系和其他社会事实的可能性,认为用实证主义研究国际关系是可能的、必需的,也是有限度的,这种限度就是必须将其限于特定的适用领域——研究活动的观察和描述阶段,从而初步解决了当前国际关系研究中存在的对实证研究的误解或滥用等问题。
There has been a debate on positivism studies among Chinese IR scholars.Starting from a definition of positivism and the question it raises,the author analyzes the applicability of positivism to IR and social studies.The author argues that it is possible and necessary to adopt a positivist approach in IR studies.However,its application is limited to specific fields,such as the observation and description stage of research activities,thus clarifying the misunderstandings about positivism in IR studies.
