告别巴别塔：走入世界的中国社会科学

Farewell to the Tower of Babel: China's Social Science into the World

本文以巴别塔之喻，指出西方社会科学以分化封闭的学科制度去“发现”社会生活的普遍规律，再以学术场域构建的“理性乌托邦”为纷繁、差异的社会世界立法，其后是以时间雏度的进步叙事驱逐承载于空间中的差异与传统。进而分析中国社会科学在“移植”西方社会科学时，以向西方学习、与国际接轨等知识策略，用普遍性改造差异性。最后，以开放社会科学告别巴别塔，中国社会科学以问题导向、实践传统与文化自觉走向世界。

Taking Tower of Babel as a metaphor, the author points out that Western Social Science has first discovered the general rules of social life with the divided and closed disciplinary systems; then made universal laws for the complicated and various society by way of the rational Utopia constructed in the academic field and finally eliminated the differences and traditions in space with time-dimensions narration. Based on the above analysis, the author intends to find out the Chinese strategies to transplant the western social science. In conclusion, it suggests Chinese social researchers should transform the differences with the universality by learning from and integrating with the west and China's social study should be open enough to say goodbye to “the Tower of Babel” and make its contribution to the world with persistence of practical tradition, problem-orientation, and cultural self-awareness.
