《随自意三昧》中的无明与空

南岳慧思的<随自意三昧>上承印度龙树诸师思想,下启天台一家圆教,它以无始无明和有始无明解释生死轮回的根源,以观无始空与毕竟空作为破除无明的方法,其思想内涵深刻而朴质,不仅是研究天台学不可回避的重要典籍,有助于理解慧思的主要思想,而且对弄清有关佛教心性论的基本问题也是有意义的.     

《一切经音义》中所见的几处《周易》经文异文

本文着眼于文献,从佛经音义中整理出六条《周易》经文异文。通过对照发现,它们与今本、帛本、竹本《周易》经文,皆不相同。初步考察表明,《周易》在佛教界流传,他们所继承的版本系统,与外界所行当有所不同。     

赵汸的《春秋》学

赵汸的<春秋>学以承继孟子自许,以综合<春秋三传>为特点.认为属辞比事为治<春秋>的法门,并据以归纳<春秋>笔削之义为八.<春秋>虽为孔子所作,但本鲁史而成,辞从主人,存策书之大体,其文则史,其事则齐桓晋文;<春秋>虽本鲁史,但又有孔子书与不书、变文、特笔等笔法,以阐圣人之义,其义丘窃取之.     

从战国楚简看通行《周易》版本的价值

作者通过比较今本和楚简<周易>,认为战国楚简与今本<周易>无论是卦符、卦名,还是卦爻辞,整体内容和文辞意义都没有很大的差别.今本虽然经过后世整理,但是文字上仍保留了许多与战国本完全相同或意义相同的文字,这种今本与战国本相关联的事实,无可争辩地证明了今本仍然是<周易>各种版本中最重要的版本,今本整体上优胜于战国本和其他本,其权威性并没有因为近几年许多<周易>文本的出土而削弱和动摇.当然,今本并非十全十美,个别地方仍有错误,不必盲目崇拜.还有个别字的意义,今本不如战国本更清楚.     

哲学·礼学·诗学--谈《性情论》与《孔子诗论》的学术联系

上博简<孔子诗论>是一部具有丰富哲学和礼学内容的<诗>学著作,作者一方面以子思学派的性情学说论<诗>,大力张扬诗歌的性情,继承并发展了<尚书·尧典>的"诗言志"思想,以性情作为诗歌"言志"的内涵,使儒家诗歌理论建立在心性哲学基础之上;另一方面又主张用礼义学说对诗歌情感进行约束和规范,表明了儒家对待情感问题的原则立场,初步呈现出"发乎情,止乎礼义"的理论倾向.中国儒家关于诗歌抒情的理论框架在此已经隐然成型.     

《黄帝内经》的"字对字"翻译

旨在从语言哲学角度探求<黄帝内经>英译本中采用的字对字方式的译法的科学性.<语言与人类行为>一书中指出,虽然原始语言区别于,甚至低等于人类的语言,但是它仍然是一种自然的,丰满的语言.而<黄帝内经>一书的专业性极强,并且反复出现的中医特有的、西医中根本不存在的概念和术语.基于这些原因,采用字对字的方式翻译此书是大有裨益的.     

人性可见吗?——《东坡易传》对传统人性理论的批评

<东坡易传>中认为,人性是抽象的、不可见的,孟子之后以善恶来解说人性的传统,所讨论的都仅仅是性之似,而非人性本身.这一将性与道置于同一高度的人性理论,打着深深的老庄哲学的印记.苏氏的人性理论尽管受到朱熹等理学家的严厉批驳,但对于我们理解人性这一复杂的问题,仍具有积极的启发意义.     

太虚对熊十力《新唯识论》的批评

太虚初评<新唯识论>文言本,明知其尚宋明儒,以执实之凡情直觉,误会并诽毁般若、唯识,却仍容之于真如宗,许其接近禅宗;着眼佛门内诤故.再评其语体本时则指出:其附会禅而归本<易>所立之寂然本体实为有漏异熟,乃谬以世间流转事上比佛果法界,故为唯心的顺世外道;儒佛之争时已尖锐故.     

从《金刚经》到《华严五教止观》的般若义理的发展——由空到华严三昧

般若,梵语为prajana,意为智慧。般若是诸佛之母,是佛法的核心。般若思想从小乘到大乘经历了逐步的发展过程,小乘主要讲人空法不空,大乘初期讲人、法二空,后期又讲到空有圆融。在中国佛教史的著述中,一般论述般若思想的发展,到中观之后就没有进一步的论述。同时,人们一般认为《华严经》与《般若经》中的"一切皆空"的理论是有所区别的,《华严经》在说"空"时是有所肯定的[1]。笔者认为,般若     

陆九渊理论体系的建构与《四书》

<四书>是陆九渊理论体系建构的重要资源.其”心即理”的本体论、以”发明本心”为核心的修养工夫论、格物论、义利说的提出与建构,都是以<四书>思想资料为依托的.     

Sui generis phenomena and disciplinary axioms: Rethinking Pals' proposal

Daniel Pals and I have made independent arguments for the resolution of the debate over reductionism in religious studies with the adoption of appropriate ‘disciplinary axioms’. This paper undertakes a critical review of Pals' proposal, suggesting that his axiomatic conception of the sui generis nature of religious phemomena is substantively inadequate because he misconceives the theoretical grounds for axiom adoption in the social sciences. An argument is advanced, by comparison, for the advantages of an alternative formulation which demarcates religious phenomena in terms of ‘references to the transcendent’.     

继承汉学传统:荷兰道教研究的成就与最新进展

本文系统梳理了荷兰道教研究的传统。荷兰的道教研究与其殖民扩张、海上贸易的发展紧密相连,导致荷兰的道教研究跟福建和台湾有着十分密切的关联。另外,荷兰莱顿大学乃是荷兰道教研究的摇篮,随着荷兰中国历史的讲座教授的设立、汉学院的成立和《通报》的兴办,荷兰汉学和道教研究的学术地位逐步得以确立,并成为欧洲汉学研究的重镇。正是这些硬件条件以及荷兰汉学的学术传统,使得荷兰道教研究的名家辈出。本文最后指出荷兰道教研究的老中青三代学者各有千秋,老一辈的学者以施舟人为代表,中年学者有田海,青年学者则有葛思康等人,学术薪火代代相传。     

原始儒家德性政治思想的遮蔽与重光——《缁衣》郭店本、上博本与传世本斠论

By analyzing the author of Ziyi 缁衣 (Black Costumes) as well as Ziyi’s transmission and evolution by studying and analyzing the ancient text, one can see that Ziyi was a work of Zisi or the Zisi and Mencius School. Comparing the similarities and differences between the transmitted version of Ziyi and its Guodian 郭店 and Shangbo 上博 versions, one finds that the original version of Ziyi had been significantly revised by Confucian classics teachers in the unstable political and social climate during the Western Han Dynasty, specifically, the thought of moral politics of the original Confucians contained in the work was garbled and concealed, and the idea of law and the legal system was highlighted accordingly. The uncovered Guodian and Shangbo versions of Ziyi have removed the shroud that Confucians in the Han Dynasty had spread over it for 2, 000 years, revealing the thought of moral politics of the original Confucians.

Language and connectionism: the developing interface

After a difficult initial period in which connectionism was perceived as either irrelevant or antithetical to linguistic theory, connectionist concepts are now beginning to be brought to bear on basic issues concerning the structure, acquisition, and processing of language, both normal and disordered. This article describes some potential points of further contact between connectionism and linguistic theory. I consider how connectionist concepts may be relevant to issues concerning the representation of linguistic knowledge; the role of a priori constraints on acquisition; and the poverty of the stimulus argument. I then discuss whether these models contribute to the development of explanatory theories of language.     

The psychotherapist's own psychotherapy: educating and developing psychologists

In this article, the author synthesizes 25 years of his research on the personal therapy of mental health professionals. The author summarizes the high prevalence of personal treatment, its use by seasoned practitioners, its personal and professional goals, its typically positive outcomes, and its lasting lessons concerning the practice of psychotherapy. Particular attention is devoted to the therapist's selection of a personal therapist and the conduct of treatment with patients who are themselves psychotherapists in comparison with patients who are laypersons. The cumulative results indicate that personal therapy is an emotionally vital, interpersonally dense, and professionally formative experience that should be central to the development of health care psychologists.     

Family therapy by default: developing useful fall‐back positions for therapists

This article looks at some of the effects on practitioners of the increasing complexity and variety of ideas within the family therapy field. In adopting the currently popular notion of ‘default position’ from information technology, I argue that therapists can easily feel that their work has a random quality to it. I examine how our own default positions can be based on force of habit, a quest for novelty or the effects of stress. Some suggestions are offered for how we can more accurately go about choosing ideas that will be of help to the families with which we work and to ourselves.     

Indexing and the object concept: developing `what' and `where' systems

The study of object cognition over the past 25 years has proceeded in two largely non-interacting camps. One camp has studied object-based visual attention in adults, while the other has studied the object concept in infants. We briefly review both sets of literature and distill from the adult research a theoretical model that we apply to findings from the infant studies. The key notion in our model of object representation is the `sticky' index, a mechanism of selective attention that points at a physical object in a location. An object index does not represent any of the properties of the entity at which it points. However, once an index is pointing to an object, the properties of that object can be examined and featural information can be associated with, or `bound' to, its index. The distinction between indexing and feature binding underwrites the distinction between object individuation and object identification, a distinction that turns out to be crucial in both the adult attention and the infant object-concept literature. By developing the indexing model, we draw together two disparate sets of literature and suggest new ways to study object-based attention in infancy.
