本文认为,跨学科合作可以提供显着的智力收益,政治科学的方法论的见解,质疑收到的假设,并提供新的视角对学科领域。与自然科学家的合作不如与社会科学家的合作常见,但在智力上更有价值。考虑到这两个学科之间的联系历史以及所面临的一些方法学挑战的相似性,与生物科学家的跨学科工作可能特别有价值。作者与生物科学家一起参与了两个项目,这使他们批判性地探讨了与科学哲学有关的问题,特别是社会科学和自然科学之间的异同,重点是三个问题:代理问题,实验研究设计和个人主义谬误。有人认为,跨学科的研究可以通过共同理解什么是“合理的信念”。政治学可以帮助自然科学家理解更复杂的政策过程。这样的研究带来了一些实际的挑战,作者解释了他们如何试图克服这些挑战。
This article argues that interdisciplinary collaboration can offer significant intellectual gains to political science in terms of methodological insights, questioning received assumptions and providing new perspectives on subject fields. Collaboration with natural scientists has been less common than collaboration with social scientists, but can be intellectually more rewarding. Interdisciplinary work with biological scientists can be especially valuable given the history of links between the two subjects and the similarity of some of the methodological challenges faced. The authors have been involved in two projects with biological scientists and this has led them critically to explore issues relating to the philosophy of science, in particular the similarities and differences between social and natural science, focusing on three issues: the problem of agency, the experimental research design and the individualistic fallacy. It is argued that interdisciplinary research can be fostered through shared understandings of what constitutes ‘justified beliefs’. Political science can help natural scientists to understand a more sophisticated understanding of the policy process. Such research brings a number of practical challenges and the authors explain how they have sought to overcome them.
