【摘要】：本文意在以历史的方法分析芝加哥大学长盛不衰的学术成果之成因,其论据来自在国际学术界较为知名的社会学和经济学的"芝加哥学派"以及不那么为人熟知的政治学和人类学的芝加哥传统。结构性的设置对诸芝加哥学派的延续有积极的作用,尤其体现在芝加哥大学出版社对上述领域具有核心地位的学术期刊的支持。然而,与之相应的跨学科研究中心起到的作用之小令人惊讶,当然部分原因在于学派本质上就是学科性的;跨学科的本科生核心课对学派的促进作用不大,同样令人惊讶。最为显著的因素是芝加哥大学将社会科学的诸学科放在同一栋楼当中,社科楼和图书馆比邻而居;而在内部空间的分配上,某一学科的学者并不凑在一起,与其他学科却又不是完全隔开的。学术之长盛不衰的核心似乎在于特定学者群体的连绵不绝,这些学者对某些思想的体系专心认同,而又自觉地投身于博士生教育。跨学科性通过竞争和挑战刺激了这些学者群体,但学术成功之最根本的源泉仍然在学科内。
[Abstract]:This paper aims to analyze the causes of the unfailing academic achievements of the University of Chicago in a historical way. The arguments come from the Chicago School of Sociology and Economics, which is well known in international academia, and the less well-known Chicago tradition of political science and anthropology. The structural setting plays a positive role in the continuation of the Chicago School, especially in the support of the University of Chicago Press to the academic journals with the core position in the above fields. However, the role of the corresponding interdisciplinary research center is surprisingly small, partly because the school is essentially disciplinary, and the interdisciplinary core course of undergraduate students does not promote the school, it is also surprising. The most significant factor is that the University of Chicago places the disciplines of social science in the same building, and the social science building and the library live next to each other, and in the allocation of internal space, scholars from one discipline do not come together. It is not entirely separate from other disciplines. The core of academic prosperity seems to lie in the continuity of certain groups of scholars, who are absorbed in the system of certain ideas and devote themselves to the education of doctoral students. Interdisciplinary stimulates these academic groups through competition and challenge, but the most fundamental source of academic success is still within the discipline.
