【内容提要】杨开道不仅是民国时期乡建派的执行官，更是中国社会学本土化史上的关键人物。从生活史和学术史视角看，“中国农村的现代化”与“中国社会学的本土化”是杨开道社会学研究的两大核心议题。杨开道的社会学思想经历了从“科学”到“民情”的转变，与20 世纪上半期社会思潮从“五四”到“后五四”的转捩暗合。从科学化的角度出发，杨开道力图使科学成为农村的治理方式、乡民的生活方式、社会学的研究方法；从民情化的角度出发，他通过历史比较、参与观察等方法探寻中国农村的历史、风俗与西方现代科学调剂的可能性。杨开道的社会学思想之变，具有实践、学理、本土化等多方面意涵，其个案展现了中国社会学的问题、对象、方法、价值、变迁等与“五四”精神流变之间的关联。

From Science to Mores: The Indigenous Transformation of Cato Young’s Sociological Thoughts

CHEN Bao-xiang，HE Jian

Abstract：Cato Young is not just an executive officer of the rural construction school during the Republic of China, but also a key figure in the history of Chinese sociology’s indigenization. Throughout Cato Young’s life and academic career, the two core issues of his sociological research are the modernization of the Chinese rural community and the indigenization of Chinese sociology. His sociological thoughts experience a transformation from “science”to “mores”,which coincides with the social ideology change from“The May Fourth Spirit”to“The Post-May Fourth Spirit”in the first half of the 20th century. From the perspective of scientism, Cato Young tries to make science become the approach to the governance of rural society, the lifestyle of rural people and the research method of rural sociology. From the perspective of mores, he discovers the possibility of reconciliation between Chinese history, customs and modern Western science. The transformation of Cato Young’s sociological thoughts has multiple implications, including rural construction practice, academic self- adjustment and indigenization of sociology. Typically, it presents the affinity between the themes, objects, methods, values, changes of Chinese sociology and the evolution of“The May Fourth Spirit”.
