社会科学、价值判断与科学的价值——评施特劳斯的韦伯论述

Abstract

Abstract:

In Strauss’s opinion, Weber’s situation is tragic: He was destined to believe in science, but in the influence of historicism, he had to deeply suspect the value of science. Strauss discovered the fundamental root of Weber’s perplexes through a topdown thinking process: Weber insisted on the valuefree principle because the conflicts between ultimate values were inapprehensible by human reason, and the latter was incapable of proving its own value when being challenged by revelation due to the fact that Weber’s understanding of science and its situation was limited . Then Strauss tried to transcend Weber’s abyss through a bottomup thinking process: The prephilosophical natural world was the common origin of philosophy and revelation; it was through political philosophy (which inevitably required value judgment) that a skeptical philosophy emerged to describe but not to explain the riddle of being, which made revelation possible and necessary. Thus, the value of philosophy was established in the forever existing conflicts.

Key words: Strauss, Weber, social science, value judgment, value of science
