摘　　要：当代科学解释已经从寻求“为什么必然”（why—necessary）转向了“如何可能”（how．possible），近似解释（approximate explanation）渐成主流，科学解释接纳了社会性、偶然性和地方性等方面的观念。（cfAudi，PP．190—191）尤其是社会科学解释（social scientific explanation），将之前作为干扰因素或外部参量排除掉的要素，诸如诠释性、意向性、动机一功能等，重新引入到解释中，引发了关于解释之本质、标准和合法性的思考。本文之目的在于通过对社会科学解释之本质和特征的分析，尝试引入复杂性方法，为理解社会科学解释提供新的研究视角和合理性证据。一。The social scientific explanation is one of the core problems in the research of the social science philosophy.The systematic analysis of the social scientific explanation helps both to defend the rationality and scientificalness of the social science as a discipline,and to reveal the characteristics,nature and significances of the social science researches as well.This article analyzes the essential features of social scientific explanation by revealing the current situation and problems of the contemporary social scientific explanation models,from which the method of complexity is introduced,especially a research path of social scientific explanation of complexity is provided on the base of agent-based models.
