摘要: 使用1990—2022年中国社会科学引文索引(包括扩展版)来源期刊的数据,借助新概念、新理论与理论体系三个维度,可探究中国哲学社会科学知识体系构建的趋势与现状。中国哲学社会科学在这一时期引入新概念、新理论的行为逐渐减少,一个逐渐扩大的概念内核在学科概念网络中逐渐形成,且越来越多学者同这一概念内核进行对话。这一过程标志着中国哲学社会科学领域从借鉴西方概念与理论的“软革命”时期,逐渐建立起自身的核心概念、核心结论与典型化事实,进而形成稳定知识体系。这些宏观指标的变迁可以通过内生结构因素、外生社会影响与个体行为因素加以解释,其中个体行为的解释力最明显,学者对成功学者的效仿与对大多数学者行动的模仿能够有效解释体系化进程的整体趋势。
The Evolution of Knowledge Systems in Chinese Philosophy and Social Sciences (1990—2022)
Abstract: Using data from the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index and its expanded edition from 1990 to 2022,this study examines trends and current developments in the construction of China's philosophy and social sciences knowledge system through three dimensions: new concepts,new theories,and theoretical systems.The study reveals that during this period,the introduction of new concepts and theories in Chinese philosophy and social sciences gradually declined.A progressively expanding conceptual core emerged within the disciplinary conceptual network,with an increasing number of scholars engaging in dialogue with this core.This process signifies a transition from a “soft revolution” phase of borrowing Western concepts and theories to the gradual establishment of core concepts,core conclusions,and stylized facts within Chinese philosophy and social sciences,ultimately forming a stable knowledge system.These macro-level shifts can be explained through endogenous structural factors,exogenous societal influences,and individual behavioral factors.Among these,individual behavior demonstrates the most significant explanatory power: scholars'emulation of successful peers and mimicry of majority scholarly actions effectively account for the overall trend of systematization.
