略论需要的客观性

需要是马克思主义哲学的一个重要范畴。但由于长期把需要视为一个主观的心理学范畴 ,从而忽视了对之的深入研究 ,直到 2 0世纪 80年代价值论研究兴起之后 ,需要范畴才凸现出来 ,并成为哲学领域的一个重要问题。然而 ,需要究竟是客观的 ,还是主观的 ?这个问题然没有解决 ,仍旧存

Some Comments on the Methodological Significance of the Definition of a Response

Evidence in the present study, in conjunction with evidence in previous studies, indicates that sensory or perceptual factors do not account for the slowing that occurs in later life. Elderly Ss are slower than young adult Ss, but, up to the point of fairly weak stimulation (55 db), they are as slow in relation to auditory stimuli that are loud and easy to perceive as they are to stimuli more difficult to perceive. An unanticipated interaction involving stimulus intensity was observed which warrants further attention. When, in the course of the study, the intensity of stimulation was systematically decreased, reaction times (RTs) of older Ss with a .5 second preparatory interval (PI) were much slower than when the intensity of stimulation was systematically increased.

An exploratory study was also carried out. In this study, the pacing of stimulus events was predictable, and Ss were instructed to take advantage of this. RTs were quicker with this procedure than with traditional RT procedures, but not significantly more for old adult Ss than for younger ones. However, the level of significance was such as to suggest that timing may be an important clue to the slowing in later life.     

也谈帛、简《老子》之研究

《老子》正像军事哲学《孙子》那样,是当时政治哲学的另一座高峰,可惜先秦的历史文化条件及后来的思想文化专制主义早已使它变形失真。帛书《老子》（下简称帛本）证明今本错讹甚多,而楚简《老子》（简称简本）又证明连帛本也出现许多讹误。简、帛两本对于老子的研究大有解疑去讹、拨乱反正之功,为《老子》研究的突破提供了锐利武器。但是,从已出版帛本的注译看,框套今本者多,订正讹误者少;以古从今者众,用古正今者寡;谨慎保守有余,信古从真不足。对帛书老子的研究、开发、利用极为不够:第     

Philosophy and Cross-Cultural Conversation: Some Comments on the Project of Comparative Philosophy

This paper seeks to highlight the East-West asymmetry in philosophical exchanges. It draws attention to the absence of Eastern thought in the curriculum of philosophy in the West and suggests that cliches and stereotypes about cultures in general and thought-traditions in particular are perpetuated in this manner. The aim of the paper is to encourage 'cross-cultural conversation' among philosophers. A critical review of the project of 'comparative philosophy' is made to disclose the fact that despite the difficulties of such an endeavor, it is an attempt to bring thought-traditions together and is thereby useful for promoting intercultural understanding.     

Executive Coaching and REBT: Some Comments from the Field

Executive Coaching comprises personal counseling, business advice, and advice about managing for people who are in executive management. This involves a one-to-one helping relationship between coach and client. In each case for which executive coaching is sought, there are problems the client has encountered which requires changes in client behavior. REBT, with its blend of easy understandability and direct applicability to client problems, is an ideal tool for use in executive coaching. Clients readily understand the A-B-C-D connections and are able to effect changes in behavior. The article includes case examples.
