摘要

本文的主要目的係在說明：作者為什麼要撰寫《知識與行動》一書，以及這本書在社會科學及通識教育上的可能應用。該書首先析論：當西方科學哲學主流由邏輯實證論轉向科學實在論後，對社會科學所具有的涵意；倘若社會科學工作者不瞭解此種思潮的轉變，盲目套用西方社會科學的研究典範，終將面臨「學術實踐主體性喪失」的問題。後半部先說明作者如何以此一理論模式為基礎，用「結構主義」的方法，分析「道、儒、法、兵」的文化傳統；最後本文並舉出一些例子，說明如何以本書的觀點，在華人社會中從事社會科學研究。

This article was aimed to explain the author's reason for writing his book ”Knowledge and Action” and the applicability of that book in social science and liberal education. The book consists of two parts, the first park discusses the change of Western philosophy of science from logical positivism to scientific realism and its implications for social scientists in non-Western society. Following fashionable research paradigm of Western social without a fully awareness about that change may lead to the loss of one's academic identity. The second part describes how he developed the model of ”Face and Favor” on the basis of realism, and how he analysis the Chinese cultural tradition of Confucianism, Legalism and Martial school by the method of structuralism with a reference to that model. Finally, this article also provides some examples for illustrating how to conduct social research in Chinese social by using the conceptual framework presented in that book.
