揭露愚昧迷信 保护宗教信仰

“法轮功”现象是在我国实行改革开放、社会主义事业向前发展中出现的一股逆流,它假借科学、健身、民族文化和传统信仰的旗号而泛起封建迷信的沉渣,推行愚昧和盲信,进行非法结社和破坏社会稳定的活动,严重危害到我国社会安定团结的局面和广大群众的身心健康。此外,“法轮功”还在贬低、歪曲和攻击传统宗教的基础上编造出所谓““法轮大法”,从而亦损害了我国正常的宗教信仰及其活动。“法轮功”虽然利用了传统宗教中的一些说法或教义,却绝不可将“法轮功”与宗教混为一谈。因此,我们必须认清“法轮功”推行现代迷信和自我造神运动的本质,严…

告别迷信愚昧 走向科学文明

在反对愚昧迷信中进一步贯彻宗教信仰自由政策

当前,提倡科学无神论、反对愚昧迷信的宣传正在越来越多地受到各级党组织和科技界、教育界、学术界、舆论界的重视。对于无产阶级政党来讲,无神论是其辩证唯物主义、历史唯物主义世界观的基础。保持无神论思想在     

迷信,迷信,一迷就信

何谓迷信?词书上开列的含义有两条:①信仰神仙鬼怪等;②盲目的信仰和崇拜.这在中国恐怕早已是家喻户晓的了.可是,如果再问一句为什么要信迷信,也许就不是三言两语就能解释清楚的,要不,为什么词书上也没有加以说明呢?然而,在一次与神汉、巫婆的偶然相遇中,他们对迷信一词的解释,却不禁使我莫名惊诧起来.     

迷信捣了丝路节

八十年代初,伴随着经济体制改革,全国各地大都举办过各种各样的节,这些节一般都是根据本省或本地历史传统或产业传统中的典型事件或典型产品命名的.人们把办节称为文化搭台,经济唱戏.不少省的节确实引来了外资,促进了经济,如今仍然坚持着,比如西安的古文化节.但有些节的经济效益也不十分理想.     

迷信误了孩子的前程

人类社会发展到了21世纪的今天,沿袭了几千年的封建迷信思想应该说已经到了穷途末路,但仍然有一些父母荒唐愚昧地把孩子成才的希望寄托在封建迷信上,致使正处于世界观、人生观形成时期的孩子们,心灵不知不觉地被蒙上了一层阴影。学习成绩好全靠老坟保徐兵是某重点中学的学生,他读小学时开始一     

小心盲从害了咱

有位青年要送几只羊去屠宰场,他在每只羊的脖子上都拴了一根绳,手里攥了一大把绳子,一路上被羊拖累得跌跌撞撞,后来遇到一位好心的老汉,老汉告诉他,你只要用一根绳子牵住一只羊,另外几只就会跟着走。果然,青年牵着一只羊,其余的羊乖乖地跟在后面。其实。不仅羊是这样,鸭子也是如此,赶鸭的人把数百只鸭放养在河里,群鸭自能互相追随,聚在一块。上岸的时候,赶鸭的人只要把一两只鸭子赶上岸,其余的自然会跟着上岸,即使在四通八达的河叉口,也没有一只鸭子肯离群而去。这便是俗称的“随大流”,也叫从众心理,这是人性上极大的弱点,岂不知,这个“大…     

一个被迷信葬送了的家庭

(一)傻宝失踪已经三天了,羊凤英请人寻问了所有的亲戚朋友,找遍了附近所有的沟沟坎坎还是不见儿子的踪影,终于撑不住气了,一屁股跌坐在堂屋中间的地上大哭大闹起来。丈夫包朔犹如热锅上的蚂蚁坐立不安。邻居纷纷赶来劝慰。羊凤英哭得更加伤心,她一边告诉人们傻宝以前也曾丢失过,但很快就找到了,一边揪住丈夫的衣领命令:“傻宝生要见人死要见尸,三天内若找不回儿子就不要再回这个家……”包朔垂头丧气摸着黑走了。一天、二天过去了,包家没有任何     

要把破除愚昧迷信纳入法制轨道——一个无神论者的呼声与建议

愚昧迷信是科学的对头.在人类征服自然的历史长河中,科学与迷信的斗争一直就没有停止过.近几年来,愚昧迷信活动在全国各地大有抬头之势,有些地方还相当猖獗,反科学、伪科学、假科学的活动接二连三地发生,给人们的思想造成了严重混乱,给社会带来了不安定的因素,甚至有的党员干部也加入到新的“造神“活动中去,相信占卜、风水、命相、求神拜庙,陷于唯心主义的泥坑不能自拔.……     

On Moral Ignorance and Mistakes of Fact: a Response to Harman

Philosophia - Moral ignorance is always blameworthy, but “failing to realize” that P when you have sufficient evidence for P is sometimes exculpatory, according to Elizabeth Harman...     

也谈科学与迷信

近几年来,首先是伪科学方面把现代社会对科学的信任说成是“迷信科学”。近来,也有一些朋友把人们对科学的信任和迷信鬼神等量齐观,认为二者在心态上没有什么差别。他们认为,迷信,就是“入迷(执着)的相信”。这不仅不合迷信这个概念的本义,也不合生活实际。

A DDL Approach to Pluralistic Ignorance and Collective Belief

A group is in a state of pluralistic ignorance (PI) if, roughly speaking, every member of the group thinks that his or her belief or desire is different from the beliefs or desires of the other members of the group. PI has been invoked to explain many otherwise puzzling phenomena in social psychology. The main purpose of this article is to shed light on the nature of PI states – their structure, internal consistency and opacity – using the formal apparatus of Dynamic Doxastic Logic, and also to study the sense in which such states are “fragile”, i.e. to identify plausible conditions under which a PI state cascades into a state of shared belief as the result of announcement.     

Applying Psychoanalysis to Couple Therapy: The Treatment of a Couple with Sexualized Persecutory Internal Objects Resulting from Trauma

The application of psychoanalytic theory and technique to the treatment of couples has been relatively overlooked despite the long history of concern by psychoanalysts with the role of marriage in individual development and suffering. This paper uses an example of marital and sex therapy to illustrate the application of psychoanalytic object relations theory to couple therapy, and describes the way that in-depth treatment of the couple's persecutory object relations that follow severe trauma can be effectively conducted. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of issues of shame and guilt in psychoanalytic theory and their relevance to this couple.     

Antenatal Genetic Testing and the Right to Remain in Ignorance

As knowledge increases about the human genome,prenatal genetic testing will become cheaper,safer and more comprehensive. It is likelythat there will be a great deal of support formaking prenatal testing for a wide range ofgenetic disorders a routine part of antenatalcare. Such routine testing is necessarilycoercive in nature and does not involve thesame standard of consent as is required inother health care settings. This paper askswhether this level of coercion is ethicallyjustifiable in this case, or whether pregnantwomen have a right to remain in ignorance ofthe genetic make-up of the fetus they arecarrying. While information gained by genetictesting may be useful for pregnant women whenmaking decisions about their pregnancy, it doesnot prevent harm to future children. It isargued that as this kind of testing providesinformation in the interests of the pregnantwomen and not in the interests of any futurechild, the same standards of consent that arenormally required for genetic testing should berequired in this instance.     

Ignorance of hedonic adaptation to hemodialysis: a study using ecological momentary assessment

Healthy people generally underestimate the self-reported well-being of people with disabilities and serious illnesses. The cause of this discrepancy is in dispute, and the present study provides evidence for 2 causes. First, healthy people fail to anticipate hedonic adaptation to poor health. Using an ecological momentary assessment measure of mood, the authors failed to find evidence that hemodialysis patients are less happy than healthy nonpatients are, suggesting that they have largely, if not completely, adapted to their condition. In a forecasting task, healthy people failed to anticipate this adaptation. Second, although controls understated their own mood in both an estimation task and a recall task, patients were quite accurate in both tasks. This relative negativity in controls' estimates of their own moods could also contribute to their underestimation of the moods and overall well-being of patients.
