纵观人类知识发展的历史便会发现,几乎每一次重大的社会转型都会伴随着一大批优秀人文、社会科学研究成果甚至是某个学科门类的产生。毫无疑问,自改革开放以来,同西方发达国家一样,中国已然进入了一个从工业社会向后工业社会转变的历史性转型期。但由于中国在政治体制、社会结构、历史文化等诸多方面的独特性,使得转型期的中国更具复杂性。这种社会复杂性无疑为中国社会科学界提出了挑战,也提供了难得的历史机遇,并 Looking at the history of the development of human knowledge, we can see that in almost every major social transformation, a large number of outstanding humanities, social science research achievements and even the emergence of a certain subject category will be accompanied by them. There is no doubt that since the reform and opening up, like the developed countries in the west, China has entered a historic period of transition from industrial society to post-industrial society. However, due to China’s uniqueness in many aspects such as political system, social structure, history and culture, China in the transition period has become more complicated. This kind of social complexity undoubtedly poses a challenge for the Chinese social science community as well as providing a rare historic opportunity.
