摘要:

市场的社会结构理论对新古典市场理论构成了重大挑战,然而,以“嵌入性”假设为基础的结构主义分析方法又在很大程度上限制了该理论的发展。作为反思的市场的新制度主义理论,虽然旨在建立一种以扩展的“嵌入性”概念为基础的制度与结构的相互关系分析,但是,其并未能将此思想运用到对市场建构及其运作的研究中。而作为一种转向的经济制度的社会建构理论,虽然内含了若干弥补社会结构分析的概念,但是,其概念之间存在的方法论上的内在矛盾,又决定这种弥补或修正是有限度的。为此,本文主张,当代市场社会学进一步修正或转向,应当朝着建立一种基于特殊行动理论,即自我行动的逻辑的市场的社会实践理论迈进。

Abstract:

The social structural theory of market, as a mainstream sociological market theory, has been a big challenge to the neoclassical equilibrium theory of market. However, the “hierarchical inclusion” assumption in the methodology of structuralism has significantly limited its theoretical development. The new institutionalistic theory of market, as an introspective sociological theory, tries to develop an analysis of the interaction between the institutions and the structures on a concept of expanded hierarchical inclusion; but it fails to apply this idea to the research on market construction and operation. Finally, although with some concepts to compensate for the socialstructure analysis included, the social constructionistic theory of economic institutions contains some internal conflicts of the conceptions in methodology, which inevitably limits the extent of its remediation and correction. The paper concludes that contemporary market sociology should be amended or diverted towards a direction of establishing a social practice theory based on a special action theory, namely, the logic of selfaction.
