世界体系理论方法论的启示意义                                                                  吴  英

世界体系理论是一种以世界体系为框架、长时段地分析全球资本主义发展、演进的理论，为我们对现代资本主义作整体、动态认识提供了新的视角和方法。自创立以来，世界体系理论在不断扩展其影响的同时，也遭到来自各方面的批评。针对来自韦伯主义、正统马克思主义、大卫·李嘉图倡导的“比较优势规律”的拥护者、新欣策主义和后现代主义对世界体系理论所提出的各种批评，沃勒斯坦作出了有力回应，并在新近出版的《现代世界体系》第4卷中对以前没有涉及的资本主义意识形态的形成与影响进行了系统考察，由此更全面和深刻地展现出世界体系理论的方法论内涵及其对当代社会科学研究的启示意义。

The Enlightening Significance of World System Theory on the Methodology                            Wu Ying

Framed by world system, World History Theory analyses the development of the global capitalism in the long run, providing us with the new perspective and method to have an overall and dynamic understanding for modern capitalism. Since its foundation, World History Theory continues to expand its influence, but also faces the criticisms from all sides. Against the criticisms from Weberians, orthodox Marxists, adherents for law of comparative advantage by David Ricardo, neo-Hintzians and postmodernist, Wallerstein makes strong responses, and systematically studies the forming and influence of the capitalist ideology which not previously involved in newly-published The Modern World-System IV, thus more fully and deeply shows the methodology meaning of world system theory, and its enlightening significance for contemporary social science research.
