道佛典籍与《封神演义》"阐教"词语关系考

本文考察了"阐教"一语在有关道教与佛教文献中的使用的例证, 有力说明了<封神演义>之"阐教"一词并非作者凭空杜撰, 而是有很深的道佛背景和渊源的, 而且作出推测:<封神>作者在为道教派别"阐教"构思命名时受到道佛人士"阐扬教义"之语和旧有"阐教"官职的双重启发.这实际上推翻了以前所谓"阐教之称,不见经传"的说法.     

道教与神魔小说

本文讨论了道教教义和道教的宗教思维方式对“神魔小说”中二元对立的神—魔形象的影响。文章指出,“神魔小说”大都具有双重主题,即宣传“神仙救世”和“修道成仙”的道教观念。同时,“神魔小说”情节结构的独特性不仅具有文学功能,而且是为了更好地宣传道教“济世”与“修仙”相通,“利他”也“利己”不悖的宗教观念。     

《录异记》性质探析

<录异记>是杜光庭一部重要作品,具有较强的文学色彩,但自古及今,常被目为与道教无涉的文言小说,而实际上该书具有鲜明的宗教特征.这主要体现在内容和结构编排上.<录异记>内容不仅记载仙类故事,还有很多与道教密切相关的图谶瑞应;结构看似混乱芜杂,实际有自己内在的组织方式,内中暗含成仙得道的"变化"学说.<录异记>是一部带有较强道教色彩的宗教文献,应该是典型的宗教文学作品.

《焦氏易林》与汉代宗教文化构建

<焦氏易林>是研究汉代宗教文化构建、演变发展的重要史料.本文从"天人感应"的神学观念、神灵的世俗化与英雄的神格化、神仙体系的无序化、长生不老的成仙追求、西王母民间信仰的兴盛发展五个方面,具体分析了<易林>所体现出的汉代宗教文化思想特征.     

《鬼神之明》与东周的“多元鬼神观”

相比于墨子以"明鬼"这一主题用许多篇幅构建绝对的鬼神信仰来说,上博楚简第五册中<鬼神之明>对鬼神之"有所明"与"有所不明"的言说则篇幅很小.虽然如此,但它却提出了一个既不同于墨子也有别于孔子的颇有特色的"鬼神观".这一"鬼神观"在肯定"鬼神"存在的前提之下,揭示了"鬼神"在施行赏罚上的盲点和不一贯性,这是对孔子儒家和墨子信持鬼神能够普遍"福善祸淫"或者善恶因果报应观念的一个明显修正,称得上是存疑的"二重性"的鬼神观,从而为东周子学的"鬼神"观念增添了新的色彩,甚至可以说由于这种"鬼神观"的出现使东周的鬼神信仰呈现出了多样或多元性的局面.据此,我们可以进一步看出从"三代"宗教到东周宗教所发生的具体转化.在此,我们关注的是<鬼神之明>"鬼神观"的独特性以及它在东周鬼神信仰世界中的位置.     

"神圣"之永恒魅力--对《论神圣》一书的解读

奥托的<论神圣>在宗教和宗教研究中具有十分重要的地位和价值,本文主要展示了该书的逻辑理路:非理性的"神秘"是"神圣"的内核,"神秘"之被图式化揭示了它以特殊的方式向理性因素和其它感受"开放",由此描绘出一幅非理性纬线和理性经线交织的"神圣"观念和宗教图景,这可以说是一种和谐宗教观.在此基础之上,又阐发了"神圣"观念的现代意义.

走不出的怪圈--丁玲早期欲情小说情节规律探幽

丁玲早期欲情小说是指她1927年到1929间年创作的几篇著名小说:<梦珂>、<莎菲女士的日记>、<暑假中>、<自杀日记>、<小火轮上>等.之所以将丁玲的这些以描写性心理的小说称为欲情而非爱情小说,是因为丁玲在作品中探讨的主题已超越了同时代新女性的"爱情自由"及"普罗文学"的"革命加恋爱"的旧套,试图在欲望与女性生命意义追寻这一更高层面上开展自己的思索.     

Seeing and hearing and space and space and time

A previous experiment had shown spatial location to be judged in terms of the framework provided by the modality in which stimuli were presented. In the present study, digits were either auditorally or visually presented, and in either form the three digits appeared successivly to the left, in the center, and to the right of the S. The digit which occurred temporally in the middle of the sequence was never central from the spatial viewpoint. The S was asked to indicate which digit was the middle one. Ss were blind, deaf, or normal. The deaf and two control groups saw visual displays, and the blind and their controls heard auditory displays. The former groups predominantly chose the spatially middle digit and the latter groups the temporally middle. It was concluded that modality of presentation was the trigger which switched in the coding dimension of time or space.     

Bob and Carol and Tess and Ali

Conflicting religious experiences in different traditions do not necessarily defeat the rationality of conflicting beliefs sustained by those experiences in those traditions. The circularity that protects religious beliefs from such mutual defeat is not vicious. Moreover, the lack of ‘epistemological humility’ exhibited by such believers poses no threat to world peace. In fact, a campaign for compulsory humility would itself constitute a much greater threat.     

Law and Gospel,and Youth and Family Ministry

Abstract : If “faith comes through hearing” the word of God comprised in law and gospel, how do the imperatives that characterize ‘Youth and Family Ministry’ make such hearing possible? Here, literature delineating ‘Youth and Family Ministry’ is analyzed in light of its biblical foundations. The primary lens implemented in this analysis is the law/gospel hermeneutic advocated by Martin Luther and other reformers.     

Extremes of self-esteem and narcissism and the experience and expression of anger and aggression

This study examined the level of self-esteem and narcissism as personality variables involved in the disposition to experience and express anger. Three hundred thirty-eight subjects were sampled across two higher education centres and one student teaching programme in the United Kingdom. It was reasoned that individuals with both high self-esteem and narcissism would report especially high tendencies to experience and express anger and aggression and that those with high self-esteem and low narcissism would report the lowest. These predictions were influenced by theories that emphasise the role of threats to high self-esteem in the production of aggression and violence. Results indicate that groups defined by their extreme scores on self-esteem and narcissism scales produced levels of anger expression in the predicted direction. The importance of considering extreme levels of self-esteem and narcissism (in conjunction with other factors) in an analysis of anger is discussed with reference to currently influential theories in the field.

Dance and psychotherapy--possibilities and limits

From a starting point of therapeutic and prophylactic components identifiable in the dance, the authors regard the dance as deserving of greater attention than was hitherto the case in programs of physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and sociotherapy. From the existing essays at a therapy basing on body and motion, they infer basic common points, and to promote discussion, they state their attitudes in respect of the potential and rank of the dance in the concept of complex multimodal psychotherapy.     

Yin and Yang,and the Hot and the Cold

Yin and Yang are important concepts in ancient Chinese philosophy.Western scholars have become more familiar with these two concepts recently,but for a long time almost no one considered comparing them with their own tradition such as the ancient Greek philosophy,and especially with the ideas of the Hot and the Cold in Presocratic philosophy.In this paper,I make an attempt to do exactly that,and especially make a detailed comparison between the thoughts of two ancient thinkers:Laozi and Anaximander.I discuss the thought of Yin and Yang in Laozi-who was the earliest philosopher making use of the concepts Yin and Yang-to express his cosmological thought in ancient Chinese philosophy.Comparatively,I discuss the ideas of the Hot and the Cold in Anaximander,the earlier among Presocratic philosophers referring to the Hot and the Cold as fundamental concepts used to establish his cosmological system.Through this comparison,I indicate that the similarity between ancient Chinese and Western traditions is far more significant than what people are used to imagining.     

Perversion and infancy and adolescence

Abstract

Studying the works of Freud and Lacan, the authors carried out research on perversion in childhood. Their work covered the perverse polymorphism of infantile sexuality and the perception of the anatomic difference between the sexes that leads the child to create sexual theories and fantasies. The phallic mother and the fetish are viewed as imaginary solutions directly related to the Oedipus and castration complexes. In perversion, a particular position is taken in relation to the Oedipus complex: a serious flaw occurs in the symbolization of the law, and the mechanisms of denial and disavowal take form. Sexuality requires a second “logical time,” separated from infancy by the latency period, in order to confirm (in action) that a fixed position of jouissance (enjoyment) has actually been established. This can only happen in a period after adolescent enhancement. The distinction between perverse traces and a perverse structure is made, taking into account the fact that, in the case of child analysis, the analyst should free the child from the family fantasy and help him/her to build his/her own fantasy.

Campos Santoro V. et al. Perversion und Kindheit und Adoleszenz.

Im Studium der Arbeiten von Freud und Lacan haben die Autoren Forschung über Perversion in der Kindheit gemacht. Die Studien behandeln den perversen Polymorphismus der infantilen Sexualität und die Wahrnehmung des anatomischen Unterschiedes zwischen den Geschlechtern, welche das Kind dazu führt, Sexual-Theorien und Phatasien zu schaffen.

Die phallische Mutter und der Fetisch werden als imaginäre Lösungen angesehen, die sich direkt auf den Ödipus- und Kastrations-Komplex beziehen. Bei der Perversion wird eine besondere Position in Bezug auf den Ödipus angenommen; ein ernsthafter Mangel tritt bei der Symbolisierung des Rechts auf; die Mechanismen der Verneinung und der Verleugnung bilden sich. Sexualität erfordert eine zweite “logische Zeit”, von der Kindheit durch die Latenz Periode getrennt, um (in der Handlung) zu bestätigen, daß eine fixierte Position der jouissance (Vergnügung) sich tatsächlich etabliert hat. Das kann sich nur in einer Periode nach der adoleszenten Verstärkung ereignen.

Es wird die Unterscheidung zwischen perversen Spuren und einer perversen Struktur gemacht, in Rechnung stellend, daß im Fall der Kinder-Analyse der Analytiker das Kind von der Familien-Phantasie befreien sollte und ihm/ihr helfen sollte, seine/ihre Phantasie auszubilden.

Campos Santoro V. Perversión e infancia y adolescencia.

Estudiando los trabajos de Freud y Lacan, los autores han investigado la perversión en la niñez. Los estudios cubren la sexualidad infantil perversa polimorfa y la percepción de la diferencia anatómica entre los sexos, que llevan al niño a crear teorías sexuales y fantasías.

La madre fálica y el fetiche son vistos como soluciones imaginarias relacionadas directamente con el complejo de Edipo y de castración. La perversión, toma una posición particular en relación al Edipo; un fallo importante tiene lugar en la simbolización de la ley; los mecanismos de negación y repudio toman forma. La sexualidad requiere un segundo “tiempo lógico” separado de la infancia por el periodo de latencia, para confirmar (en acto) que una posición fija de jouissance (goce) se ha establecido. Esto solo puede ocurrir en un periodo posterior a la intensificación adolescente.

La distinción entre las huellas perversas y la estructura perversa se ha hecho, teniendo en cuenta que, en el caso del análisis de niños, el analista debe librar al niño de la fantasía familiar y ayudar a el/ella a construir su propia fantasía.     

神圣、凡俗与净明、忠孝

本文结合有关宗教学理论,对宋元净明道所推崇的"净明"、"忠孝"概念进行了解析.作者以为:宋元净明道视世俗性的道德实践为"神圣"的宗教修炼,实与宗教学中的凡俗可以"转换"为神圣之理论相合;而净明道徒的这种"转换",则多与其个体的"宗教体验"有关.至于元代净明道借"无极"概念来释"净明",以"净明"为回复宇宙根源之境界,则合于宗教人经验到与万物的根源、终极的本体或神圣的世界契合之感.换言之,宋元净明道的"净明"、"忠孝"说,实与各种宗教的本质有着相通之处.
