| 中文简介: |  如 2010 年秋季学期所教。本模块向学生介绍研究政治现象的替代理论方法。我们考虑与行为主义、理性选择理论、制度主义、马克思主义、女权主义、解释理论和后现代主义等方法相关的分析、解释和理解政治的不同形式。该模块表明，不同的方法基于对政治本质的对比“本体论”假设，并且它们引用了关于我们如何获得有效的政治和国际关系知识的替代“认识论”假设。我们研究以下问题：什么构成了政治科学和国际关系中的有效知识？政治学方法论是否应该与自然科学中使用的方法相同？我们能否给出社会和政治现象的因果解释？我们在分析中能做到客观吗？知识和权力是什么关系？对不同方法的理解对学生在 2 级和 3 级学习非常宝贵，并将为学生提供机会采用与他们自己的问题、研究主题、兴趣以及他们自己的本体论和认识论假设。 |
| 课程简介: | As taught Autumn Semester 2010. This module introduces students to alternative theoretical approaches to the study of political phenomena. We consider the different forms of analysing, explaining, and understanding politics associated with approaches such as behaviouralism, rational choice theory, institutionalism, Marxism, feminism, interpretive theory and post-modernism. This module shows that the different approaches are based upon contrasting ‘ontological’ suppositions about the nature of politics, and they invoke alternative ‘epistemological’ assumptions about how we acquire valid knowledge of politics and international relations. We examine questions such as: what constitutes valid knowledge in political science and international relations? Should political science methodology be the same as the methods employed in the natural sciences? Can we give causal explanations of social and political phenomena? Can we ever be objective in our analysis? What is the relationship between knowledge and power? An understanding of the different approaches will be invaluable to students as they pursue their studies at levels 2 and 3, and will provide the opportunity for students to adopt an approach that corresponds to their own questions, research topics, interests, and their own ontological and epistemological assumptions. |
