【摘要】：国际关系理论中的本体论概念遭到很多曲解和滥用,不少学者把本体论概念放在一个发展理论的至高无上的位置,认为没有本体论研究就无法推动国际关系理论的进步。这种看法既源于哲学中本体论问题的深远影响,也源于一些学者对本体论、认识论等基本哲学概念缺乏全面认识的情况下盲目推崇本体论概念的价值和作用。本文首先回顾了哲学中本体论概念与认识论概念的发展史及其关系,强调认识论分离和独立于本体论是近代科学发展的前提。进而,作者在此基础上分析了国际关系学者容易在本体论问题上陷入的几个误区和滥用本体论的主要形式。最后,作者提出,本体论概念在国际关系理论研究中作用非常有限,社会事实本体这样的概念并不能为国际关系理论研究提供一个真正坚实的本体论基础,以本体论的研究来推动国际关系理论的发展只是一种虚构的承诺。
[Abstract]:The concept of ontology in the theory of international relations has been misinterpreted and abused, and many scholars have placed the concept of ontology in the supreme position of a theory of development. It is believed that the theory of international relations cannot be promoted without the study of ontology. This view stems from the profound influence of ontological problems in philosophy as well as from the views of some scholars on ontology. In the absence of a comprehensive understanding of the basic philosophical concepts such as epistemology, the value and function of the concept of ontology are blindly respected. This paper first reviews the history and the relationship between the concept of ontology and the concept of epistemology in philosophy. It is emphasized that the separation and independence of epistemology from ontology is the prerequisite for the development of modern science. On this basis, the author analyzes several misunderstandings and main forms of abuse of ontology that scholars of international relations tend to fall into on ontology. The author suggests that the concept of ontology plays a very limited role in the theoretical study of international relations, and that the concept of the ontology of social facts can not provide a real solid basis of ontology for the theoretical study of international relations. To promote the development of international relations theory by ontological research is just a kind of fictional promise.
