【摘要】：经济学自独立之始就承袭了古希腊的自然主义思维方式,并深深地打上了建构理性的特性。首先,斯密之所以构设出现代经济学的理论体系很大程度上就源于接受了重农学派的自然主义思维,后来无论是李嘉图影响下的英国学派还是萨伊领导下的法国学派都继承了斯密经济学中的唯物主义和自然主义思维;其次,边际革命的兴起导致了经济学转向对稀缺性资源配置的研究,从而使得经济学的自然主义特性更为凸显;最后,尽管现代主流经济学名义上继承了英国的"古典"或"新古典"传统,但其基本思维已经被法国的唯理主义传统改造了,从而具有了强烈的建构理性特性。经济学的建构性之所以日益隆盛,根本原因就在于,现代社会科学的理论主要勃兴于启蒙运动以后,而启蒙运动的核心就是唤醒知识分子的理性,在这种情况下,理论家逐渐倾向于把理性视为人类实际行为的依据,或者希望基于建构理性发现社会规律并用之指导社会实践。
[Abstract]:Economics inherited the naturalistic thinking of ancient Greece from the beginning of its independence, and was deeply characterized by rational construction. First of all, Smith built up the theoretical system of modern economics to a large extent from accepting the naturalistic thinking of the agricultural school. Later, both the British school under Ricardo's influence and the French school under Say inherited the materialist and naturalistic thinking in Smith's economics. The rise of marginal revolution has led to a shift in economics to the study of scarce resource allocation, which makes the naturalism of economics more prominent. Although modern mainstream economics inherits the tradition of "classical" or "neoclassical" in English nominally, its basic thinking has been transformed by the tradition of rationalism in France and thus has strong constructive rationality. The fundamental reason for the increasing constructiveness of economics lies in the fact that the theories of modern social sciences flourished after the Enlightenment, and the core of the Enlightenment Movement was to awaken the rationality of intellectuals. Theorists tend to regard rationality as the basis of human actual behavior, or hope to discover social laws based on the construction of rationality and guide social practice.
