The ontological turn in anthropological methodology, at least in its conceptualization-oriented formulation, aims to turn away from the concepts and objects found within one’s own social setting in order to turn to indigenous conceptualization processes and take a look at “the things (and persons) themselves.” This article aims to unpack what such constant reconceptualization amounts to, arguing that when modified to meet certain objections, the ontological turn could provide important ingredients for an alternative version of interpretive social science—one that wishes to understand social phenomena as human kinds in the vein of Ian Hacking, Sally Haslanger and Ron Mallon.

理解的方式：本体论转向和解释性社会科学

人类学方法论中的本体论转向，至少以面向概念的表达为目的，旨在摆脱自身社会环境中发现的概念和客体，转向本土概念化过程，并考察“事物（和人） ） 他们自己。” 本文旨在阐释这种不断重新概念化的含义，认为当进行修改以满足某些反对意见时，本体论转向可能会为解释性社会科学的另一种版本提供重要的成分，该版本希望将社会现象理解为人类的脉络Ian Hacking，Sally Haslanger和Ron Mallon的团队。
