摘要
本文在韦伯的理想型概念的基础上提出了理想型集和理想型集演绎建模方法,讨论了一个合格的理想型集应当具有的三个基本要素,并通过一些案例展示了理想型集的建立以及理想型集演绎方法在理论和经验层面的运用。本文认为,理想型集演绎方法在一定程度上弥补了以归纳作为逻辑基础的经验主义和实用主义研究传统的弱点,为连接社会学中的微观机制分析、宏观结构分析和行动者分析找到了一座桥梁,为笛卡尔坐标法在社会学中找到了一种带有一定解析性的应用方法,给出了一个能针对各种复杂经验现象进行分析的解读工具,因此具有较大的应用潜力。
This article develops the concept of ideal-type set based on Max Weber’s ideal-type concept, proposes three criteria for a qualified ideal-type set,and illustrates with cases the usages of ideal-type-set-based deduction in theory building and empirical analysis. It further argues that ideal-type-set-based deduction can amend some weaknesses of traditional induction-based sociology of empiricism and pragmatism, and bridge micro-level mechanism-based analysis with macro-level structural analysis, and actor-based analysis. Moreover,such deduction method has also transformed the Cartesian coordinate method into an analytic tool in sociology, and provides an interpretation tool for different kinds of complex empirical phenomena. Therefore, it has great potential for both theory building and empirical analysis.
