政治哲学：治理社会的两种理论和方法

政治的根本功能是治理社会,不同的理论模式和方法对于政治选择具有重要意义。从宏观分析层面区分,现代政治哲学主要有系统分析法和矛盾分析法,分别运用这两种方法分析研究社会的理论可以称为社会系统理论与社会冲突理论。人们选择理论模式与社会的不同历史时期相关,革命和战争年代强调矛盾和斗争,以社会冲突理论指导实践无可厚非;和平年代则宜采用系统分析,突出人与人之间和谐合作的一面。

Politics Philosophy: Two Kinds of Theories and Methods of Governing Society

The history of Politics Philosophy is well-established but the research of it is surging up in the modern age, the reason of which lies in the expansion of the modern public domain and its own reform. The basic function of politics is governing the society, different theory patterns and the methods have important meanings for the choice of politics. Discriminating from the macroscopic analysis stratification plane, the mod- ern politics philosophy has mainly two methods: the systematic analytic method and the contradictory analytic method, the theory which uses these two methods to analyze and study society separately is called the social system theory and the social conflict theory. The choices of theory patterns are related to the historical periods, revolutionary days and wartime emphasized contradiction and struggle, so indisputably the social conflict theo- ry were adopted, while in the peace age it is suitable to practice the system analysis theory to stress the human harmoniousness and cooperation.
