Abstract

Abstract In this article I have the following goals: to enter the debate on what defines social psychology as a social science, arguing that it is the prominence conceded to a focus on agreed ‐ not natural ‐ limits to human action; to add to this debate a further distinction ‐ that between social facts and cultural/institutional facts ‐ together with a theorization of the later highlighting the relevance of attending to the (de)legitimization of institutions; to extract consequences of this position for social psychology; finally, to offer two cases illustrating and hopefully clarifying the set of theoretical arguments and concepts I used before: Sophocles' Antigone, and the EU debate on Natura 2000, both evidencing a tension between the legal and the legitimate. I conclude by suggesting that such a social psychology can work together with the social sciences to ask questions productive for extending our knowledge of the ecological and the political.

为关注制度维度的社会心理学辩护:扩展对生态和政治理解的潜力
摘要在这篇文章中,我有以下目标:进入关于社会心理学作为一门社会科学的定义的辩论,认为这是对人类行为的一致而非自然限制的突出承认;在这场辩论中,进一步区分了社会事实和文化/制度事实,并对后者进行了理论化,强调了关注制度(去)合法化的相关性;提取这种立场对社会心理学的影响;最后,提供两个案例来说明并有望澄清我之前使用的一套理论论点和概念:索福克勒斯的《安提戈涅》和欧盟关于Natura 2000的辩论,这两个案例都证明了合法与合法之间的紧张关系。最后,我建议这样一种社会心理学可以与社会科学合作,提出有助于扩展我们对生态和政治知识的问题。

期刊介绍: The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal focusing on research about Portuguese society by scholars of any nationality. However, the journal takes a broad view and accepts articles that are not exclusively devoted to the Portuguese case. We particularly welcome comparative studies. While the journal concentrates on research articles it operates a flexible policy in respect of other types of submission, including book reviews.
