社會科學理論的建構 黃光國 2015.03.02
五四時期「新文化運動」 Ψ 知識界普遍盛行著三種意識形態: 社會達爾文主義、 科學主義、 反傳統主義。
「歐洲輸入之文化與吾華固有之文化,其根本性 質極端相反」,「吾人倘以新輸入之歐化為是, 則不得不以舊有之孔教為非」 「新舊之間絕無調和兩存之餘地」(陳獨秀, 1918)
1919年五四運動
科學主義的意識形態 「意識型態」:對於人、社會、及其與宇宙之關係的整體認知與 信念,有高度明確的「系統性」意見,將系統中的其他成分整合 在一個或幾個顯著的價值之下; 此種系統性並不蘊含「正確性」,也未必要經過任何客觀的檢驗。 這樣的思想系統往往是封閉的,傾向於對系統外的意見採取排斥 的態度(Shils, 1982)。
極端的「科學主義」者甚至將科學當做是全知全能的人類救世 主,而盲目地加以崇拜(Wellmuth, 1944)。 胡適(1923):「這三十年來,有一個名詞在國內幾乎做到了 無上尊嚴的地位;無論懂與不懂的,無論守舊和維新的人,都 不敢公然對它表示輕視或戲侮的態度。那個名詞就是『科學』。 這樣幾乎舉國一致的崇信,究竟有無價值,那是另一個問題。 我們至少可以說,自從中國講變法維新以來,沒有一個自命為 新人物的人敢公開毀謗『科學』的。」
台灣自由主義派的學術傳統 1945年,台灣各級學校日籍教師都被遣返回國。 1949年,追隨國民政府撤守台灣的外省籍菁英,迅速填補了日籍 教師所留下的真空。 他們也同時帶來了五四時期新文化運動的意識形態。 中共在中國大陸推行「三反」、「五反」及「文化大革命」; 國民黨則在台灣推動「中華文化復興運動」。
殷海光教授 台大哲學系教邏輯,介紹邏輯實證論,以之作為批判國民黨的武 器,藉以提倡民主政治, 出版《中國文化的展望》(殷海光,1966),從他所謂「社會科 學」的角度,深入批判中華文化。

Chapter 35 SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY: DISCIPLINE, INTERDISCIPLINE OR TRANSDISCIPLINE?
In consideration of the discursive dualisms between the psychology-oriented social psychology and the sociology-oriented social psychology, author(s) of this chapter argued that : ……interdisciplinarity is often regarded as ‘desirable’ and is set in contrast to being overly specialised. However, the disciplinary organisation of sociology and psychology has generally meant that a genuine interdisciplinary approach to social psychology has proved elusive. This is unfortunate and has meant that social psychology has arguably suffered in terms of lacking an over-arching theoretical perspective.
Unfortunately, the author(s) did not know the works done by a Chinese indigenous psychologist Kwang-Kuo Hwang who is trying to propose a series of culture-inclusive theories on Confucian Relationalism for the sake of establishing research tradition of Chinese psychology. It is obviously an over-arching theoretical perspective: Hwang, K. K. (2012). Foundations of Chinese Psychology: Confucian Social Relations. New York: Springer.
In the section on Transdiscipline, the author(s) indicated that “Perhaps the most significant impact on social psychology over the past quarter of a century or so has been the turn to language.” Perhaps the most influential approach has been that of discursive psychology”
But, in the Conclusion section, the author(s) also recognized that: ……whilst discursive psychology is capable of showing how people orientate towards each other in their discourse as being driven by an internal machinery of mind, it offers little in the way of explaining where this derives from. Those who adopt a broader explanatory framework in terms of the structural constraints of discourse fail to adequately offer a social psychology of action. Instead what we have is a very broad brush picture of how discourse operates. The origins of social psychology in both psychology and sociology effectively make this local/global split inevitable as it pulls in these different directions.
Hwang (2012) claimed that his works of theoretical construction had overcame the local / global split by following the principle of cultural psychology: “one-mind, many mentalities” (Shweder et al., 1998), In his book, Hwang advocated that book that the epistemological goal of indigenous psychology is to construct a series of theories that represent not only the universal mind of human beings, but also the particular mentality of people in a given society. He explained how he constructed the theoretical model of Face and Favor which was supposed to represent the universal mind for social interaction, then he used it to analyze the inner structure of Confucianism and discussed its attributes in terms of Western ethics. In the remaining chapters of that book, he constructed a series of theories on the presumption of relationalism to integrate findings of previous empirical research on social exchange, the concept of face, achievement motivation, organizational behaviors, and conflict resolution in Confucian society.
Hwang’s approach may also overcome the split between discourse and structural constraint. As an example for discourse as driven by an internal machinery of mind, please see Ch.12 of Hwang’s book on Conflict resolution models in Chinese society; As an example for structural constraints of discourse and actions, please see Ch.11. Guanxi and Chinese organizational behaviors.
Therefore, Hwang’s approach may alleviate the struggle of discourse psychology as indicated by the author(s) in the Abstract of this chapter: ……discourse involves a struggle for explanatory power in terms of either examining the ways in which psychological accounting is implicated in a flexible way as part of social practices at a ‘local’ level, or moving up an explanatory notch to a consideration of the operation of discourses on a more deterministic ‘global’ level.
I totally agree with the author(s)’ argument that : To be seen to be intelligible and to be able to convey one’s ‘thoughts’ and ‘feelings’ in the form of judgements, reasons, and evaluations as the outcome of some kind of mental process. In perceptual-cognitive processing terms it is an “input-process-output” model.
Hwang’s (2012) book Foundations of Chinese Psychology may be used to support this argument. But, I would like to emphasize that Hwang claimed that his universal models of self and social interaction can be applied to other cultures as well. Please see: Hwang, K. K (2015). Culture-Inclusive Theories of Self and Social Interaction: The Approach of Multiple Philosophical Paradigms. Journal for the Theory of Social Behavior, 45(1), 39-62.
The author(s) said that: However, it is also apparent that social psychology has considerable scope to involve other disciplines such as anthropology, political science and linguistics. Each of these areas has contributed to some degree or other a more interdisciplinary form of social psychology. For example, the importance of culture has aided social psychology in providing a broader perspective on gender, whilst the inclusion of a political science perspective has helped in studying political persuasion and voting patterns. However, it is the turn to language where the greatest degree of cross-fertilisation has occurred.
I agree with the general discussion of this paragraph, but I don’t agree with its conclusion because of the weakness of discursive psychology in contrast to Hwang’s approach of multiple philosophical paradigms. It seems to me that a genuine interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approach to social psychology can be achieved by the turn to philosophy rather than the turn to language. Speaking more specifically, Hwang’s approach multiple philosophical paradigms has utilized philosophies frequently used by different disciplines including philosophy of post- positivism (psychology), structuralism (anthropology), hermanentics (language) and critical theory (political science).
Chapter 2 THE CONVERGENT PARADIGM IN SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY Epistemological Bases for the Development of the Discipline
Tracing historical profiles in Western social psychology which stands between psychology and sociology, this article grouped the different conceptualizations of social psychology into four perspectives: (1) group, (2) individualist, (3) institutional, and (4) transactional, and advocated for the different alternatives of ethogenics approach which share such features as: the rejection of positivism, the recognition of human beings as active agents, the historical character of psychosocial events, the consideration of a practical rationality, and also the interest for daily aspects of life including reflecting on available knowledge.
The author(s) argued that: New scientific proposals are supported by thoughts of modern philosophers such as Nietzsche, Heidegger, Wittgenstein, Foucault, Popper, Lakatos or Derrida (Infante & Irizo, 2009). From rather different points of view towards science, all of them agree in postmodern, post-positivist, and/or post-industrial ideas. The key element in a post-positivist perspective is the one admitting that theory precedes observation, the lack of theories in any fact, and that theories are socially constructed.
Hwang’s approach of multiple philosophical paradigms is also very different from the so-called ‘convergent paradigm’ with such features as: (1) political awareness, (2) eclecticism, (3) vulnerability of study object, (4) methodological pluralism, (5) circular world vision, (6) disengagement from quantitative tendency, and (7), scientific relativism.
Because Hwang’s approach consisted of two steps: (1) the construction of theoretical models to represent universal minds; (2) using those models to construct culture-inclusive theories of psychology. His approach of multiple philosophical paradigms shares many features with that of convergent paradigm, including: (1) political awareness; (2) methodological pluralism; (3) vulnerability of study object; (4) circular world vision; But, these two approaches are incompatible in several aspects: (1) eclectism; (2) disengagement from quantitative tendency; (3) scientific relativism. The difference between these two approaches can be seen from Hwang’s two aforementioned articles.
The difference are very important for the discourse of this article, because the author(s) claimed in its Background section that ‘A deconstruction view is mainly what guides the present work.’ ‘My research have moved from the quantitative approach by which I was brought up as a student and researcher to a set of qualitative methodologies which I found them more suitable……’, and ‘most of quantitative results derived by experimental designs are rather inapplicable to society and strictly serve its value in the academic realm.’
However, Hwang (2015) cited Bhaskar’s philosophy of Critical Realm to argue that if culture-inclusive theories for social mechanisms can be constructed, those theories can be used for either qualitative research on social events or quantitative research on empirical experiences. Table 1 Bhaskar’s three ontological domains (adapted and revised from Bhaskar, 2008, p. 13)
Hence this article is designated to discuss ‘Epistemological Bases for the Development of the Discipline’, I suggest the author(s) to change its title into ‘ The Convergent Paradigm and Multiple Philosophical Paradigms in Social Psychology’, to increase a section to include Hwang’s works, and to discuss the difference between these two approaches. Otherwise, the content of this article would be biased.
