On the Structure of Questioning in Social Sciences
The awareness of questioning,with an inherent structural form,holds an important posi-tion in social sciences.There are three forms of questioning in social sciences.The first concerns a-bout reality,focusing on contemporary hot issues and inevitably leads to the fragmentation of knowledge.The second concerns about history,retracing historical contextual conditions and processes to form a historically oriented social science.The third form focuses on the eternal prob-lems that human beings cannot resolve and aims to giving birth to a new type of social sciences.The three forms of questioning accept philosophical thinking and provide a long-lasting mechanism of di-alogue for the understanding of the eternal problems in the development of both Chinese and other civilizations in this world.
