On Social Interaction and the Communicative Construction of Personal Identity, Knowledge and Reality
从本体论实在论出发,探讨社会互动如何通过沟通建构个人身份、知识和历史社会世界,为理解社会现实的形成提供理论基础。
After a note on the main assumption of all science — the existence of a world — the implications of this ontological realism are pointed out. The subject of the social sciences is a human world — no doubt an evolutionary emergent one — that is built up, modified and sometimes partly destroyed by human social interaction over the generations. The constitution of meaning in experience and action is described (with a lengthy footnote on the phenomenological details of the matter) as the foundation of social, and most importantly, communicative interaction. This provides the basis for a formal analysis of the communicative formation and transmission of personal identity, knowledge and historical social words.
