Simulation is a important method for social science research. With thedevelopment of the intelligent technology, social simulation becomes theleading social research method. Therefore, research on social simulationpresumable is of great importance to drive philosophy research of socialsimulation and practice.This thesis begins with the philosophical analysis of social simulation. onthe level of the ontology it reveals the existence of social interactionmechanism;In epistemology level,analyze isomorphism between attribute ofsocial simulation and realistic social system; In methodology level, usespecial techniques introducing interaction in the process of model construction,operation and reading. On the basis of Holland went through complex adaptivereview and analysis of the theory,the theory of "emerging" from the Angle ofthe crack in social science micro and macro-move-the problem of binarystructure. According to the theory of complex adaptive system in the process ofbuilding a concrete model according to the social main body adaptive,since thecharacteristics of learning and evolve based on adaptive mechanism from thesimulation,based on genetic algorithm based on the evolution of the simulationand model demonstration co-evolutionary simulation shows the three aspects likethe foundation of the true social simulation. Finally, return to practice,through to the social simulation and engineering simulation reliability andvalidity distinction, and mathematical equations modeling, in comparisonsystem dynamics modeling and subject based on the modeling,this paper putsforward a comprehensive modeling thoughts and support the idea of Anylogictechnology to improve social simulation of the reliability and validity.The logical route of this thesis is that to explain the plausibility of socialsimulation by the philosophy, theory and the specific method. In the final,raise up the method on how to improve the reliability and validity of socialsimulation based on the theory research. Social simulation’s plausibility is thecomprehensive product of idea, theory and method. There is no plausibility without anyone of these three aspects. This thesis provides reference and thinkingphilosophy problems for further research on social simulation and also provides away of possibility of social simulation becoming a kind of research paradigm. Atthe same time,it is a solid theoretical foundation for the widely usage of socialsimulation in the social sciences.
