Comments on the Ikonen and Rechardt papers on the death drive and the origin of shame

In this paper, psychoanalysis is viewed as a method in opposition to the reigning spirit of our age with its demands for fast and measurable results. The concept ?the psychoanalytic room” is introduced in order to grasp the uniqueness of psychoanalysis and how it distinguishes itself from what is ordinarily held to be included under the category of work. The psychoanalytic room is explored in both a concrete and metaphoric sense and is discussed in relation to the concept of time, reality, Ogden's concept of the analytic third, and, inspired by Winnicott, children's play. The playroom of the child and its similarity with the analytic room is illustrated by the book ?Benny's Bathtub” by the Danish author Flemming Kvist Møller.     

文本的诠释与意义的创生--"诠释学国际学术研讨会"述评

2002年6月22-24日,由安徽师范大学诠释学研究所、上海市东西哲学与文化比较研究会和国际本体诠释学学会联合主办的“诠释学国际研讨会”在安徽省芜湖市召开。来自海内外专家学者40余人出席了会议。这是国内首次以诠释学为专题的国际研讨会,它的召开本身就表明诠释学研究在我国受到极大的重视。会议的议题不仅涉及西方诠释学,而且涉及中国诠释学以及中西诠释思想的比较等领域。这种情形,一方面反映出我国诠释学研究的广泛性和深入性,另一方面也反映出中西诠释学研究的交流与互动得到加强。     

辩乎先验经验之际--康德伦理学与儒家道德哲学的一种比较阐释

康德伦理学的精髓可以表述为,由于在直觉中获得了道德本体,所以特别有助于产生最清晰的道德概念;由于借助最纯粹的先验分析把它叙述出来,所以它才成为禽兽与异化的生命无论如何都无法超越的“铁门槛”。与中国的儒家伦理学相比,康德伦理学由于是用文明时代最有力的思想武器,复活了人类在轴心时代最高形态的精神生命,因此,它无疑是人类精神哲学中最高的本体论,对于中国儒家也具有十分重要的批判性启蒙意义。     

简论元哲学的共性与个性

元哲学的共性与个性 ,即哲学自身的共性与个性的问题 ,对于我们正确理解哲学的本性至关重要。当我们反思半个世纪来我国哲学所走过道路的时候 ,大家都有一个共识 :哲学与政治关系始终没有很好解决 ,不是走向这个极端 ,就是出现另一个偏向。我认为其中一个主要原因 ,就是对元哲学的共性与个性的关系问题 ,缺乏真正了解所致。1 　　哲学 ,从大的方面来说主要是研究两类问题 :一是客体 (自然界、人类社会 ) ;一是主体 (人自身 )。前者是关于世界的存在问题 ,它要解决的是如何认识与改造世界 ;后者是关于人的存在问题 ,它要解决的是如何理解人与…     

Bullinger and Zwingli on the Salvation of the Heathen

Abstract

Zwingli's vision of heaven in Exposition of the Faith (1531), published by Bullinger in 1536, included several named heathen. This provoked Luther's accusation in 1544 that Zwingli was himself heathen. Bullinger defended Zwingli against this charge in 1545. The article examines the arguments used by Zwingli here and elsewhere and those that Bullinger used in his defence. It shows both the common ground between them and the differences, especially in relation to election.     

Merleau-Ponty and McDowell on the Transparency of the Mind

Abstract

McDowell and Merleau-Ponty share a critical attitude towards a certain Cartesian picture of the mind. According to the picture in question nothing which properly belongs to subjectivity can be hidden to the subject herself. Nevertheless there is a striking asymmetry in how the two philosophers portray the problematic consequences of such a picture. They can seem to offer exact opposite views of these consequences, which, given the almost identical characterization of the transparency claim, is puzzling. I argue that a closer look at the prima facie puzzling asymmetry dissolves the apparent disagreement and reveals a deeper agreement concerning both the nature and the origin of the problems haunting the Cartesian picture in question. Both McDowell and Merleau-Ponty argue that on the picture of the relation of between mind and world in question, we lose our grip on the very idea of a perceptual appearance. Furthermore, the two authors regard a certain conception of nature as conceived in the image of science, as one of the crucial elements in making the picture of the mind in question look attractive.     

Lifshits and Ilyenkov on the nature of the ideal

This article compares the concepts of the ideal proposed by two prominent Soviet Marxists: the contemplative concept (Lifshits) and that based on the activity approach (Ilyenkov). The former derives the ideal, along with man himself, from nature and the latter derives the ideal from the dialectics of labour which generates man, his feelings and thoughts and the higher forms of cultural being.     

网络对青少年学生自尊和自我和谐的影响研究

本研究用自尊量表和自我和谐量表对345名中学生自尊及自我和谐与不同上网次数的学生之间的心理关系进行测量。结果表明,网络在学生的自我和谐和自尊的发展总体不存在显著差异。方差分析和回归分析结果表明从不上网、偶尔上网和经常上网三类学生在自尊与自我和谐的发展各有特点。这提示我们应该辩证地认识网络的作用,相信青少年是有思考力的群体,在对待三类不同的学生采取不同的教育措施。     

The impact of illness on the family and the family's impact on illness

This paper discusses the influence that familial relationships can have on illness and the way in which illness can impact on the functioning of the family system. Developmental phases of illness, the family life cycle and chronic illness are all examined in relation to the family and it's functioning. The way in which health behaviours are adopted within families, and behavioural and genetic predispositions to illness are also discussed.     

Descartes and More on the infinity of the world

ABSTRACT

In this paper, I address the controversy between Henry More and René Descartes on the indefinite extension of the world. I provide a new reading of Descartes’ famous final answer of 15 April 1649. I read the entire debate in the terms of a disagreement concerning the epistemological status of the necessity of our judgement about the extension of the universe. Accordingly, the disagreement on the infinity of the world constitutes a case of a more general disagreement on the nature of the necessity of the theorems of Cartesian Physics. In particular, as concerns Descartes’ last reply, I argue that his assertion that a finite world is contradictory should be interpreted as a reply to More’s claim that the thesis of the infinity of the world, in so far as it cannot be grounded on the identity between matter and extension, does not express a logical necessity. Descartes’ assertion of the logical impossibility of a finite world, far from being, as it has always been read, a concession he made under the pressure of More’s objections, expresses the more radical element of the entire debate about the extension of the universe.     

人与非人动物"嵌合体"研究的伦理学分析与思考

人与非人动物嵌合体的研究,作为人类提高自身健康素质的技术工具,以科学技术的形式改变着人们的生活方式和思维方式,寻找遗传性或者难治性疾病的致病基因和治疗新途径,追求个人和社会整体的良好生存状态,有着巨大的医疗价值,符合"行善"的伦理原则,应该允许限制性的开展.考虑到可能引发的伦理和高技术风险,履行审慎的准入制度.进行规范的伦理管理和严格的法规、行政管理是非常必要的.

核黄素对食管癌预防和治疗作用的研究

核黄素缺乏是导致食管癌发生的主要危险因素之一,补充核黄素可以有效降低食管癌发病风险,但这一作用存在明显个体差异,从而限制了核黄素补给在食管癌变预防和治疗中的应用.食管癌全基因组关联分析发现核黄素转运基因C20orf54是食管癌的重要易感基因之一,后者对核黄素有效转入细胞内起重要作用,提示C20orf54基因变异可能是导致补充核黄素预防食管癌存在个体差异的主要原因,对补充核黄素预防和治疗食管癌变提供理论指导.核黄素缺乏(环境因素)和基因变异(遗传因素)对食管癌发生的影响进一步揭示食管癌的发生是内因和外因交互作用的结果.
