Гудалов Н.Н. К вопросу о сходствах политического реализма и постпозитивизма в теории международных отношений

Аннотация: Предметом исследования являются те черты политического реализма в теории международных отношений (ТМО), которые демонстрируют его сходства с постпозитивизмом. Цель работы – выявить и осветить эти сходства, не отрицая, конечно, имеющихся различий. Автор подробно рассматривает логические сходства реализма с постпозитивизмом, их общие философские истоки, связанные с творчеством одних и тех же мыслителей. Исследуются подходы реалистов и постпозитивистов к фундаментальным проблемам политического знания, действительности и ценностей, а также рациональности. Для достижения цели статьи используется метод сравнительного анализа теоретических взглядов реалистов и постпозитивистов. Автор опирается на их классические и современные работы, критические исследования других ученых. Статья вносит новый вклад в исследование существующих сходств между реализмом и постпозитивизмом в ТМО. Эти сходства являются очень глубокими, однако изучены совершенно недостаточно и "нарушают" принятые в ТМО теоретические разграничения. В работе дополнены и обобщены аргументы Николя Гийо, который указал на связи реализма с философией науки Томаса Куна, а также с теми теориями истории, которые подчеркивают историзм, отрицают прогрессизм и рационализм. Автор выявил, что эти связи подтверждают наличие важных сходств между реализмом и постпозитивизмом. Доказано, что для реализма характерно узкое инструментальное понимание рациональности. Постпозитивизм, в свою очередь, еще более ограничивает или отвергает понятие рациональности. Сделан обобщающий вывод о том, что именно такое отношение к рациональности лежит в основе других сходств реализма и постпозитивизма – их акцента на плюрализме и относительности знания, действительности и ценностей в политике. Результаты работы могут быть применены для дальнейшего критического переосмысления исследуемых подходов в ТМО и связей межу ними.

Abstract:   The subject of this research is the features of political realism in the history of international relations, which demonstrate its similarities with postpositivism. The goal of this work is to determine and emphasize these similarities, but at the same time considering the differences between them. The author carefully examines the logical resemblances of realism and postpositivism, their common historical origins associated with the creative works of the same thinkers. The article also analyzes the approaches of the realists and positivists towards the fundamental issues of political knowledge, reality, values, as well as rationality. The author conducts a comparative analysis of the theoretical views of the realists and positivists, and bases himself upon their classical and contemporary works, alongside the critical research of other scholars. This work makes a new contribution into the research of the already existing similarities between realism and postpositivism within the theory of international relations. These common features are very deep, however there not enough studied and “violate” the accepted within the theory of international relations theoretical demarcations. The article complements and generalizes the arguments of Nicolas Guillot who pointed out at the correlation between realism with Thomas Kuhn’s philosophy of science, as well as with the theories that emphasize historicism, but deny progressivism and rationalism. The author determines that such connections confirm the existence of the significant similarities between realism and postpositivism. It is proven that for realism it is characteristic to have a narrow instrumental understanding of rationality; while postpositivism, in turn, limits or denies the notion of rationality.  A generalizing conclusion is made that namely such attitude towards rationality lies in the foundation of other similarities between realism ad postpositivism – their accent upon pluralism and relativity of knowledge, reality, and values in politics.  


Keywords:
