Towards a paradigmatic enhancement of sociology

ABSTRACT This article is a continuation of the debate on the paradigmatic foundations of sociology. The argument reads that any negligence towards the rising number of would-be sociological paradigms stands as counter-productive to sociological theorizing and empirical research. The guiding idea here is that while sociology is a multi-paradigmatic discipline, efforts should still be made to develop paradigmatic syntheses. The suggested direction for resolving this task includes building up an integrative paradigmatic model and discussing its content and applications. The core of this model is the broadly defined concept of social interaction at micro, meso and macro levels of social structures and processes. The suggested paradigm has the capacity to efficiently mediate in overcoming dilemmas regarding sociological knowledge by integrating structural and historical approaches as well as balancing the explanatory potential of material factors and ideas. In this way, prospects will open up for the development and application of explanatory models in addition to quality middle-range theories.

迈向社会学的范式增强

摘要 本文是关于社会学范式基础辩论的延续。该论点认为,对日益增多的潜在社会学范式的任何疏忽都会对社会学理论化和实证研究适得其反。这里的指导思想是,虽然社会学是一门多范式学科,但仍应努力发展范式综合。解决此任务的建议方向包括建立综合范式模型并讨论其内容和应用。该模型的核心是在社会结构和过程的微观、中观和宏观层面上广泛定义的社会互动概念。建议的范式有能力通过整合结构和历史方法以及平衡物质因素和思想的解释潜力,有效地调解克服关于社会学知识的困境。这样,除了高质量的中层理论之外,解释模型的开发和应用前景也将打开。
