从本体论入手创建中国式国际政治理论框架

在中国学界关于建设中国国际政治理论的探索过程中,有关国际政治本体论的研究议程已经初步形成.这项议程提出了一些值得重视的建设性意见,认为中国国际政治理论的构建应当首先在本体论上取得突破.本文在此基础上试图对国际政治本体论的基本内涵做一具体探讨,并认为国际政治本体论以本质或规律为内核.如果把本质和规律两个基本概念予以展开,则可以涵盖作为理论框架构成的"是什么"、"为什么"和"怎么样"这三类问题.因此,本体论内核与理论框架的构建存在着内在的共通之处,本体论最终可以通向理论的构建.循着从本体论探索到理论构建这一路径,本文尝试对建立东方式理论框架提出初步的构想.

A Preliminary Study of Establishing a Theoretical Framework for the Chinese International Politics from the Perspective of Ontology

A research agenda of the international political ontology in the Chinese academic circle has been taking shape during the development of the Chinese schools of IP theories.In this agenda are a series of insightful arguments.Among these is the claim that theoretical framework of the Chinese international political theories should be based on ontology and major theoretical breakthroughs.In the light of this analysis,the paper attempts to discuss the essential connotation of a Chinese IP theory.The author holds that connotation of the international political ontology lies in its nature and the rules.An elaboration of its nature and rules can cover such components of the framework like the "what","why" and "how" of issues.In other words,the essence and theoretical framework share many things in common.Ontology will eventually lead to construction of the theory.With the approach of exploring ontology to theoretical development the paper offers some preliminary ideas for construction of the oriental theoretical framework.
