The Research On "Natural State" Paradigm

Natural science paradigm understanded by thinkers such as Kuhn is a promise to Ontology, epistemology and methodolody, is a sum of a set of hypothesis, the theory, methods and standards accepted by the scientist group."Natural state"paradigm ,which is as social science paradigm explaining state formation, regardless of its nonfigurative assumption about human nature in ontology significance,or its setting to natural rights, or its Rational thought of natural law, or its political culture content in the subject of research field and theory interest, can completely serve as a significant scientific paradigm and apply to political and cultural fields in certain society.The real intention of State doctrine of"natural state"paradigm, is not to inspect the authenticity of the Origin of state, but to understand"the Origin of state"in logic significance.What they are seeking is not the beginning of history ,but the reason of the existence of state .why it can explain state formation effectively, this is primary because the Reasoning methods of mathematical similarity of natural state assumption people and the deadly mistake which its hypothetical description have; In the meantime, why"natural state"paradigm can lead to those state like what theorist describe, not any other style, that is because"natural state paradigm theorists affected by the National origin theory of Christian country,design National forms of"Limited government"from the perspective of"evil humanity".The representative persons of social science paradigm of natural state about state formation are Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, nozic, rawls, etc. Compared with"natural state", we find that it have strikingly similar characteristic as kuhn paradigm theory .Before Hobbes, we can call it prescience period,which means that all kinds of theory explaining state formation (Aristotle mode,Christian mode) compete with each other。From Hobbes to Locke,Rousseau, we can call it normal period,that is to say, they constantly adjusted all kinds of contents of natural state theory in the framework fixed by Hobbes. Kant saved paradigm crisis to the criticize of hume etc.. Empiricism which means he brought new sparks to the Natural state paradigm in the way of priori.The new situation Of the 20th century on the one hand made Nozick persist the State theory from the new perspective , and then resulted in the so-called "weakest meaning" theory of the state there, on the other hand , it made Rawls lead to a paradigm revolution . " natural state " paradigm is no longer a model explaining the origin of the state, it is only a" purely fair procedural device ", with this we can establish a moral principle to guide the basic structure of the society, which we can also use to allocate the basic rights and obligations of citizens, and divide the benefits and burdens produced by social coperation . For the "natural state" paradigm, we believe, on the one hand, it is merely a convenience of hypothesis and explanations , but the most important is that it is also full of contradictions not only in logical, philosophical, but also in historical and anthropological; on the other hand, we must affirm its value realistically, on one hand, the propose of the "natural state" has widened the idea of human society in political thought ,and opened the door for mankind to pursuit the rule of law; on the other hand, the assumption will allow us to face the world and future optimistically, but also enable us to self-help from the numerous reality and pursuit the perfection constantly.
