韦伯的科学学说,本质上是一种因果学说。在韦伯那里,社会文化科学的有效性取决于因果关系的客观性。本文考察了两种因果关系(因果法则与具体因果关系)的逻辑形式,以及与之对应的两种客观性(法则的客观性与价值关联的客观性),指出价值关联客观性对保证具体因果解释客观性的关键作用,并比较了李凯尔特与韦伯对价值关联客观性的论述,最终澄清了韦伯对社会文化科学有效性的看法。

Weber’s scientific doctrine is essentially a causal theory. In Weber, the effectiveness of sociocultural science depends on the objectivity of causation. This paper examines the logical forms of two kinds of causality (causation and causality) and the two objectivities (the objectivity of the law and the objectivity of the value) that correspond to it. Explained the key role of objectivity, and compared Rickert’s and Weber’s discussion of the objectivity of the relevance of the value. Finally, he clarified Weber’s views on the effectiveness of social culture and science.
