Abstract

Aksoy et al. (2026) propose three standards for sociology, the integration of theory and empirics, open science, and a careful relation between scholarship and political action. In this comment, we endorse these standards and argue that two developments, the uneven geography of sociological knowledge and the disciplinary reach of artificial intelligence, call for a wider frame. We propose reciprocal collaboration with researchers in the Global South as a single move that absorbs the disruption from AI, corrects an empirical deficit, and narrows the methodological gap, while extending rather than diluting the standards the statement defends.

扩展标准：人工智能、全球社会学和南北合作。

Aksoy等人（2026）提出了社会学的三个标准：理论与经验的整合、开放科学以及学术与政治行动之间的谨慎关系。在这篇评论中，我们赞同这些标准，并认为社会学知识的不均衡地理分布和人工智能的学科范围这两项发展需要一个更广泛的框架。我们建议与全球南方的研究人员进行互惠合作，作为一个单一的举措，吸收人工智能的破坏，纠正经验赤字，缩小方法差距，同时扩展而不是稀释声明所捍卫的标准。

期刊介绍： Rationality & Society focuses on the growing contributions of rational-action based theory, and the questions and controversies surrounding this growth. Why Choose Rationality and Society? The trend toward ever-greater specialization in many areas of intellectual life has lead to fragmentation that deprives scholars of the ability to communicate even in closely adjoining fields. The emergence of the rational action paradigm as the inter-lingua of the social sciences is a remarkable exception to this trend. It is the one paradigm that offers the promise of bringing greater theoretical unity across disciplines such as economics, sociology, political science, cognitive psychology, moral philosophy and law.
