现代『纳米』巫觋透视

&;lt;隶续&;#183;汉米巫祭酒张普题字&;gt;等古籍上,曾记载汉时“米巫“事,鲁迅&;lt;三闲集&;#183;匪笔三篇&;gt;也提及“米巫“.米巫,如俗人人其道,则要“纳其米“;求消灾,也要“纳其米“,或辅收钱币.在巫中,女为巫,男为觋,合称“巫觋“.所以,米巫即为“纳米“巫觋.……     

关于气功的名和实——与齐延中先生商榷

齐延中先生在&;lt;气功不是练气的&;gt;(见1999年7月&;lt;科学与无神论&;gt;创刊号)一文中指出,“气功不是练‘气‘的,如果用中医术语可将气功定义为:通过调神来协调气机,达到平衡阴阳、防治疾病目的的锻炼方法.如果用现代科学语言可将气功定义为:气功是使用自我暗示的方法,使意识进入自我催眠(入静)状态,通过良性的心理调整,使体内各系统生理能力趋向协调,甚至使病变的形态实质得以修复,从而达到防治疾病目的的一类自我心身锻炼方法.“这个观点,本人难以赞同.……

再谈“法轮功“为什么能“迷魂“

邪教“法轮功“为什么能使一些高级知识分子也变得那么痴迷?对此,作者在&;lt;“法轮功“为什么能“迷魂“&;gt;一文中,从心理学和精神病学角度首次提出“法轮功“特殊的习练方式本身对习练者具有极强的催眠作用.李洪志的一套人们在清醒状态下不难辨别的歪理邪说在催眠状态下变成了习练者心目中的真理,起到毒化思想观念和操纵习练者头脑的作用(详见2001年2月2日&;lt;人民日报&;gt;第6版).近来,人们普遍对少数痴迷者为什么那么“顽固“和“难以转化“感到迷惑.其实,这与“法轮功“特殊的习练方式引发了“顽固者“精神障碍(精神病)有直接关系.……     

谈地震预报中的科学与伪科学

据&;lt;周易与预测学&;gt;一书的作者自述,他“通向预测之路“,是在1983年4月4日邂逅了一位“精通周易“的河南籍老人,那人捏指卜算出4月6日在新疆将要发生6.5级地震.至4月7日,收音机里的报告证实了那人的预报.于是他便彻夜失眠,心想“如果学会老人这一套,也不枉活一世“.该书&;lt;前言&;gt;说:“古代对于地震的预测,只有片言只语,无专题论述,也无具体的预测方法.我根据自己的经验,在书中作了探讨性的尝试,供大家在预测地震中参考.“书中“测地震“一节举“有地震的卦应验“例:1987年9月23日辰时见地震云而摇卦,测近期有地震否,得&;lt;大壮&;gt;之&;lt;恒&;gt;卦.……     

熊伯龙论无鬼神之五蜾赢非螟岭变化

原文: 　　&;lt;脚气集&;gt;云:“蜾赢取螟蛉,产子于身上,借其膏血以为养.蜾赢大,螟蛉枯,非变化也.“读&;lt;脚气集&;gt;,知蜾赢非取他物以为子也.扬子云“类我“之说,(扬子:“螟蛉之子,殪而逢蜾,祝之日:“类我“,日久则肖之矣.“)不足信矣.陶隐居&;lt;尔雅注&;gt;谓捕取草上蜘蛛,俟其子为粮.&;lt;留青日札&;gt;谓食其虫俱尽,则启封而出.二说足订子云之讹.然二说亦误.何以知之?蜾赢种类甚多,名状非一:有穴地为窠者,有营窠于壁者,有为窠于笔管书卷中者.所负之虫,非独桑上之虫,螟蛉,桑上之虫也.或小蜘蛛、小喜子之类.余尝见蜾赢负白色小蜘蛛,穴于笔筒中,以泥封之.余因取三四笔筒,置于无人处,越日,每筒俱有蜾赢作窠.余次第破之:先破一管视之,见满穴蜘蛛俱死,白色尽成为碧,然色虽成碧,犹略有生气也.次日又破一管视之,蜘蛛背上俱有一孔,蜾赢生子于孔中,即&;lt;脚气集&;gt;所谓产子于身上也.次日又破一管视之,蜘蛛色转黄黑,渐渐枯槁,而蜾赢之子已大矣.余谓枯死之物不能为粮,且未尝取以哺子,可知&;lt;尔雅注&;gt;与&;lt;留青日札&;gt;之误矣.次日又破一管视之,蜾赢已负子去矣,而枯死之蜘蛛依然在也.益信&;lt;脚气集&;gt;“蜾赢大,螟蛉枯“二语,诚格物之精也.……

什么是天主教

一、天主教的历史 　　天主教与东正教、新教并称为基督教三大教派.天主教亦称“公教“.公教一词源于希腊文Catholikos,意思是“普世的“,“大公的“.因为它以罗马为中心,所以又称“罗马公教“;Catholikos按音译,又称“加特力教“,有时也被称为“旧教“,以区别于基督新教.该教传入中国后,信徒们称所信奉的神为“天主“(取自&;lt;史记&;#183;封禅书&;gt;),所以被称为“天主教“.……     

"Psychotherapy" versus "treatment"

Presents a comment on "Psychological treatments" by D. H. Barlow. Barlow proposed that we distinguish between the terms "treatment" and "psychotherapy." The author believes that not only is the distinction unnecessary, but that its implications could have negative consequences for the field of clinical psychology. It is the proposed distinguishing feature that treatments are "specifically tailored to the pathological process that is causing the impairment and distress" that is most problematic. Clinical psychology does not need a distinction that further exacerbates the split between researchers and practitioners.     

"Enmeshment" and "Fusion"

The paper examines two related concepts utilized by two different schools of family therapy. Any family seen to be "enmeshed" is also seen as "fused," and vice versa. The difference in the level of focus, on the "system containing the individuals" (structural) or the "individual in the system" (fusion), determines the difference in therapeutic approach of these two schools.     

“对的”与“好的”

什么是“对的”,和对它的证立,是道德哲学中具有争议性的核心问题,也是效用主义和道义论间的主要差异之所在。统合效用主义对于“好的就是对的”这个陈述有一套完整周延的说法。而道义论对这个问题的证立不够周延或没有足够的说服力。     

"本体论"与"伦理学"--形而上学的两个向度

形而上学有两个密切相关的内在向度,就是本体论向度与伦理学向度.在哲学史上,哲学家们之所以在"追求形而上学"的同时,又总是"反形而上学",并非是人们的形上本性出了问题,而是因为人们总是将形而上学视为单纯的"一维性",总是用一个向度来取代或遮蔽另一个向度.而所谓的"后形而上学思想",也并不是消解了形而上学,而是指形而上学从"本体论向度"转向了"伦理学向度".     

"石狮"、"风水"与"吉祥"

谁都知道,在古老的中国,不管是衙门、宫殿、庙宇的门前,还是豪宅、大户人家的门口,人们都能看到摆着一对石狮。据说,这对石狮子在许多中国人的心目中,它不但是一种气派的象征,而且还是一种被人认为是好的“吉祥物”。如今,旧时的衙门没有了,但遗留下来的宫殿、庙宇的门前,其中有些石狮仍有保存。然而,想像不到的是,这号称“吉祥物”的石狮今天却开始“走”进某些党政机关的大门口,它们(石狮)在那里时时都在保护着这些政府要员“平平安安”、“吉祥如意”。这不仅使我联想起一些极端的报道,有些政府官员为升迁,请算命先生定位,用风水术为政府…     

从"管制"到"平衡"--政府与公众理想关系模式的构建及其制度化

论文从行政民主的角度探讨政府与公众之间的理想关系模式及其制度化构建过程 ,将我国在改革之前的政府与公众模式概括为管制模式。论文指出 ,在制度变迁的过程中 ,这一模式日益受到挑战。而在新的制度环境下 ,我国政府与公众的关系模式应该是平衡模式。这一模式的制度化措施包括培育自主的市民社会 ,赋予公众以独立的活动空间 ;促进行政公开 ,建立一个开放负责的政府 ;推进行政法建设 ,抑制行政恣意     

PREFERRING "HOUSEWIVES" TO "FEMINISTS"

Four studies are described outlining the favorability of attitudes toward women. In Study 1, participants indicated their attitudes toward women and men and their construal of the term "women". The results revealed that women were evaluated more favorably than men, but that male right-wing authoritarians (RWAs) who construed women as referring primarily to feminists were least favorable in their attitudes. In Study 2, participants indicated their attitudes toward both "housewives" and "feminists". The results revealed that feminists were evaluated less favorably than housewives, and that the most negative attitudes toward feminists were expressed by authoritarian men. Study 3 revealed that high-RWA males held more negative symbolic beliefs concerning feminists (i.e., beliefs that feminists failed to promote participants'values) and that these beliefs accounted for variation in attitudes among high RWAs and much of the RWA-attitude relation. Finally, Study 4 revealed that high RWAs perceived greater value dissimilarity between them-selves and feminists. The implications of the findings for future research are discussed.     

"Us" and "Them":

Abstract: In the Aristotelian tradition, politics is a matter of public deliberation over questions of justice and injustice. The Bush administration's response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, has been uniformly hostile to this notion, and it has instead promoted a jingoistic politics of self‐assertion by an America largely identified with the executive branch of its government. This is doubly disturbing, as the executive branch has sought to free itself from international law, multinational commitments, and domestic judicial regulation, even as it has sought to validate itself by demonizing its enemies. This essay draws out the disturbing echoes here of Carl Schmitt's work of the 1920s, in particular of Schmitt's conception of the sovereign as the ungrounded ground of the law and the political as the site of mortal conflict between friend and enemy. The essay argues that Schmitt's position in the twenties, for all of its evident problems, is superior to that of Bush, Wolfowitz, and Ashcroft in at least two senses: Schmitt condemns the idea of waging war for profit and recognizes that such wars will often be disguised as moral crusades waged against the “inhuman”; and he acknowledges that claiming to fight a war for humanity denies one's enemies their humanity, leaving them open to torture and even extermination.
