Song Guiwu’s Viewpoint 74: Social science concepts have four-dimensional features


 宋圭武观点74:社会科学概念具有四维特征

个人认为,社会科学概念一般具有四维特征,拙见供大家参考。

所谓四维,即价值维、领域维、空间维、时间维。比如,公平概念,就具有价值维、领域维、空间维、时间维四维特征。

要准确界定一个社会科学概念,应立足四维特征,即任何一个社会科学概念,可以看成是一个四维空间的一个点。不同的点,必然是不同的概念。

在社会科学领域,有些争论,其实主要是对同一个概念,由于争论双方理解不同所造成的,即争论双方对同一个概念的理解,并没有统一在四维空间的同一个点上,这样的争论本质是没有意义的。

社会科学研究要精准化,需要考虑概念的四维特征。

好,谢谢,谢谢。

 

Song Guiwu's Viewpoint 74: Social science concepts have four-dimensional features

 

Personally, I think social science concepts generally have four-dimensional features. My humble opinion is for your reference. The so-called four dimensions are value dimension, domain dimension, space dimension, and time dimension.For example, the concept of fairness has four dimensions: value dimension, domain dimension, space dimension, and time dimension. To accurately define a social science concept, we should base on the four-dimensional features, that is, any social science concept can be seen as a point in a four-dimensional space.Different points are necessarily different concepts. In the field of social science, some debates are actually mainly about the same concept, which is caused by different understandings on both sides of the debate, that is, the two sides of the debate do not agree on the same point in the four-dimensional space. Such debates are inherently meaningless. To make social science research more accurate, we need to consider the four-dimensional features of concepts. OK, thank you, thank you.
