镕铸君子与文人作家——刘勰《宗经篇》的心性教育

《文心雕龙》中的《宗经》一篇围绕以圣王及其经典调教文人的主题,教育的落足点尤其在于引导文人的心性也即文心。刘勰的主张乃针对文人时代开启以降,个体性文心偏离经典所导致的文弊状况,提倡回到圣王经典中汲取教化,通过个体文心在经典的涵泳体味中被塑构,文人个体体性与重树圣王经典权威两种诉求得以综合起来,以是,纯粹个体文人也相应被塑造为君子—文人。     

文心史识相得益彰--试评徐子方教授新著《元代文人心态史》

东南大学徐子方教授所著《挑战与抉择———元代文人心态史》(河北教育出版社 2 0 0 1年 1 1月版 )一书 ,将文心史识熔铸一炉 ,体大思精 ,为元代史学研究贡献出许多新颖、科学的论断 ,可谓元代历史文化研究的一个重大收获。与若干年前出版的幺书仪女士的《元代文人心态》一书相比 ,《元代文人心态史》显示出对发展着的、立交式的而非静态的、截面式的“史”的关怀。该书特别强调史的系统性和完整性 ,作者将元代文人心态史看作自蒙古贵族入主中原直到被推翻退回漠北为止一个完整的文人心路历程 ,以元灭金 (1 2 3 4年 )、灭宋 (1 2 79年 )利广…     

周孔陟降：郑玄圣王观探析

经典的神圣性仰赖圣王制作方可确立,而儒家传统理念中圣王的确立应以德位兼备为前提。郑玄的圣王观之核心在于周孔之辨,其尊崇周公,强调周初天命的层累完成,最终由周公制礼作乐、致太平而得以实现。周公德位合一的圣王形象与制礼作乐的太平叙事结合在一起,使其圣王身份得以凸显,亦提升了周礼的神圣地位。同时,郑玄又认为孔子虽然无位而降于周公,但其校数圣王典籍之功与恢复周礼之德,堪为圣贤。郑玄持周公作周礼致太平说,与孔子作《春秋》当新王之说相抗,使得汉代经今古文之争最终成为一大事因缘。     

论《文心》的易象思想

论《文心》的易象思想陈守富《文心》与《周易》关系至密。粗略统计，《文心》上编十篇、下编十二篇引用了《周易》原文或运用了《周易》思想，取有《易经》二十余卦象，涉及《易传》十篇。《周易》是《文心》思想的重要渊源。《文心》主要取《周易》哪些卦象，起了怎样的...     

重建华夏开启大壮——《明夷待访录》的写作意图再论

近有研究者对《明夷待访录》的写作意图提出异议.本文根据《明夷待访录》《留书》以及黄宗羲的其他相关著作证明,清朝皇帝不可能成为其待访对象,待访对象是驱逐清朝、重建华夏、开启大壮的圣王.黄宗羲期待的"圣王革命"在清末终于到来,此时的"圣王"已变成一个大力阐发《明夷待访录》的思想来推动政治变革的群体.后来中华民国的建立结束了...     

六祖《坛经》“净土说”辨析

一、关于《坛经》的误解六祖《坛经》流传广泛,影响深远,于禅宗之弘扬,贡献极大,可以说是“中国禅”的根本经典。在中国,凡稍知佛法者,几乎无不知晓六祖《坛经》;尤其是文人士大夫学佛,《坛经》乃是案头所必备。然而《坛经》流传千年,情况复杂,由于种种原因,也产生了一定的弊端     

“群龙无首”与最佳生存状态──试谈《乾卦》对儒、道生命观及先秦汉魏文士生命意识的影响

社会与人生，始终是哲学永恒的范畴。《周易·乾卦》中不无对个体与群体，亦即人生与社会关系的探索。个体在群体中存在的理想状态究竟如何？“群龙无首”是对此理想状态的阐释──个体之间的矛盾与磨擦达到最小，在群体中互相谐调，从而使二者均达到最大、最优程度上的发展与进步。这种意识后来在《老子》诸多章节中同样存在，成为《老子》中关于“道”的探讨的一部分。失意文人也在痛苦地思索着这个问题，并在作品中描绘出类似于“群龙无首”的境界。     

当代道教音乐的回顾与展望（上）

前言从道祖老子《道德经》以及汉代道教经典《太平经》开始,关于音乐的论述在道教经典中屡见不鲜。可以说,道家、道教及文人学者研究道教音乐由来已久,纵横深广。然,将道教音乐作为一项相对独立的学术专题进行研究,把道教音乐作为一种有特色的传统民族文化对外宣传推广,却是近     

公天下的隐没与忠君的凸显——唐《孝经注疏》的批判性考察

《孝经注疏》在唐代有着经典的地位，注、疏一体，共同构成了一部颁行天下的政治教科书。唐玄宗以至高无上的圣王姿态为《孝经》作注，因而《孝经注疏》也就体现出不同于儒者或经学家注疏的思想特色：一是引儒归道，尊道德而抑仁礼。玄宗《孝经序》与元行冲疏看似遵从郑玄，实则以道家无为改易儒家德礼之治，参照以玄宗《道德经》注疏即一目了然。二是摆落古礼，删削《孝经》所含公天下的政治精神。《孝经注疏》刻意排除旧注，对最能体现以孝治天下的三老五更之制弃而不言，体现出鲜明的尊君意识。三是强化尊君，从德礼之治滑落为律法之治。《孝经注疏》隐没《孝经》中作为行孝最高境界的“立身行道”之义，以遵守现世礼法为孝，强调“以顺移忠”的忠君之义。有鉴于此，宋世理学蔚兴，转而强调《大学》“修身”之义，于此可窥唐宋思想转折之一斑。     

太上老子“以百姓心为心”的圣王思想

太上老子既是中国最伟大的哲学家,也是道教的宗祖。他留下的《道德经》含摄天地人于一体,深刻而完整地阐述了天之道、地之道与人之道。老子不仅关注"玄之又玄"的宇宙化育之道,也关心治世安民的政教经术之道。在老子的政教思想中,圣王居于非常重要的地位。他将圣王与道、天、地并列,这其中有无穷的意味供后人咀嚼。     

Planning a reader-oriented strategy for a publishing company: a case study

Scientific research in the sector of press readability and specifically magazines is not particularly extensive. This paper suggests a framework for the development of strategic decisions based on reader satisfaction measurements. The methodology is illustrated through a real-world application, i.e. customer-oriented strategy planning for the leading monthly IT magazine in Greece. This study implements the MUSA (Multicriteria Satisfaction Analysis) method to evaluate reader satisfaction, in order to support the editor in making decisions while planning his editorial strategy. Reader satisfaction was analysed based on a tree containing seven main criteria and 32 sub-criteria. Readers proved to be very satisfied and non-demanding, which results in narrower margins for efficient improvement suggestions. However, the evaluation of the MUSA results led to putting forward suggestions that could support the editor in making amendment decisions. Some of these suggestions were successfully implemented within the scope of a new strategy. This revealed the need for two separate editions, an IT magazine for pupils and students as well as an IT magazine focused on women. The decision maker received suggestions on what these new publications' features should be, deriving from the study's quantitative results. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Becoming a bilingual teacher in a Chinese university: a case study

Higher education in China has developed significantly over the past decades. Many universities have established cooperative partnerships with western universities, and overseas courses are being progressively introduced to China. At many Chinese universities, a cohort of teachers endeavor to open up bilingual subjects as a bridge to their students’ future learning; accordingly, there are higher expectations of the teachers involved in bilingual education and challenges for their professional development. In this case study, the researcher invites a Chinese professor to reflect on his experiences of bilingual instruction at a university situated in central China. After describing how the bilingual course in the case study was set up and the difficulties confronted, this study uses theories of hybrid identity and third space to contextualize how bilingual teachers experience hybrid identity construction and transformation in their adaptation to the new challenges. This in-depth study will shed light on the professional development of bilingual teachers in China’s higher education industry.     

Changing a culture: a brief program analysis of a social learning program on a maximum-security forensic unit

This report presents outcome data collected for a three-year period from a maximum-security forensic psychiatric program. Admission and discharge variables, restraint/seclusion, and client abuse/neglect data are presented from a one-year period that preceded the advent of the Behavior Management Treatment Program's (BMTP's) Social Learning Diagnostic Program to two years after implementing the Social Learning Diagnostic Program. Significant overall progress and improvement was observed in all variables analyzed after instituting a social learning program paradigm. This report provides a brief summary of the BMTP's Social Learning Diagnostic Program along with a discussion of the role played by Dangerousness Management Plans in the treatment of patients within the social learning milieu. Additionally the patient population served, and the rationale for implementation of a program based in social learning theory, are discussed.     

Spelunking as a manifestation of a counterclaustrophobia

Material is presented from the case history of a patient whose interest in spelunking (cave exploration) was found to be an unconscious expression of a type of counterclaustrophobia. Both oedipal and preoedipal determinants of the claustrophobic anxieties are delineated. Of particular note in this instance is the testicular element in the genesis of the patient's claustrophobia. His confusion of the movements of his testicles into his inguinal canals during childhood defecation with the movements of the feces themselves lent an special intensity to his fear of being flushed away from the mother by an expulsive anal birth from the claustrum. Childhood anxiety aroused when his testicles would become trapped in the inguinal canals was an important forerunner of the adult fear of being trapped in confined spaces. A counterphobic element of the spelunking per se was his enjoyment in hanging suspended by a rope in caves. In this manner, he was able to act out (by virtue of his body-testicle equation) his identification with, and control over, the disappearing testicles in the setting of a claustrophilic union with the mother.     

Mathematics has a front and a back

It is explained that, in the sense of the sociologist Erving Goffman, mathematics has a front and a back. Four pervasive myths about mathematics are stated. Acceptance of these myths is related to whether one is located in the front or the back.
