时间、行动与他性：“社会科学困境”的另一个构想
Time、Action and Otherness： An Alternative Conception for“The Predicament of Social Sciences”

基于“人的特性”，赵鼎新分析了社会科学与自然科学的区别，并颇具启发性地援引了物理学和生物学的知识论内核，由此阐释了社会科学的研究困境。然而，因为对时间、行动与肉身的社会学意义的重视不够，赵鼎新没有按照其触碰的路线深入下去。我们认为，通过时间线索，社会科学的知识论困境有望得以化解。这也是一个全新的社会学范式建立的起点或方向。
：Based on the analysis of the “human nature”, Zhao Ding-xin discussed the differences between natural and social sciences in his article, and interpreted “the predicament of social sciences”. But Zhao’s analysis mainly relies on the epistemology of the natural science, and may miss the development of the paradigm of social sciences. This article points out that the concept of time of theoretical sociology is not only the very point to clarify Zhao’s epistemology, but also the core to construct a paradigm of the social sciences
