The Political Philosophy of Sissela Bok

ABSTRACT  Sissela Bok's two main works, on lying and secrets, have not received all the attention they deserve. This is possibly because the underlying structure from which she is working is not, at least according to the critics, made sufficiently explicit. I believe that this structure is found in Sissela Bok's commitment to the fundamental tenets of democracy. This not only provides a framework that is clearly discernible but also gives her books an urgency, and supplies the solid basis necessary for taking up the challenges she puts forward. This is particularly important now that new democracies in Eastern Europe are looking to established democracies in the West for guidelines.     

通达与敞开:中西政治哲学中的公共性

古希腊的政治是空间性的,它的公共性概念基于空间的敞开性,并为这种敞开性所规定,这种敞开性使得古希腊的公共性观念具有一种“脱境域”的特征,它指引个人从其在世境域中抽身而退,进入到一个共有之域,因而古希腊的公共性偏向于汉语的“共”。而在中国古典政治哲学中,政治不是空间性的,而是境域性的,由此形成的公共性概念以通达为特征,它表现为敞开性与幽暗性之间的相互通达,这种公共性应理解为不是以“共”为主,而是以“公”为中心。     

古典政治哲学的再生——列奥·斯特劳斯述评

在 2 0世纪的政治哲学领域 ,列奥·斯特劳斯 (ＬｅｏＳｔｒａｕｓｓ)是最有影响的人物之一。他一生出版了 1 5本书和大量的文章。这些作品以深刻的哲思为核心 ,涵盖古今西方思想史 ,辐射其它多门学科 ,诸如神学、古典文献学以及中世纪学 (ｍｅｄｉｅｖａｌｉｓｔｉｃｓ)等。同时 ,斯特劳斯在他所涉足的领域中 ,又是一位最有争议的人物之一。究其主要原因 ,一方面 ,他崇尚古代希腊的风范 ,寻幽探古 ,挖掘其认识论理念 ;另一方面 ,他又追随时尚 ,关注当下话题。我们在寻访他的思想踪迹时 ,很难找到一个确切的术语来界定其思维方式。就其政治态…     

Philosophy of medicine in the United Kingdom

This report explores the relationship between philosophy and medicine in the U.K. We note that medical training involves very little formal instruction in philosophy and ethics, and that, with few exceptions, philosophers in the U.K. do not contribute to the instruction of physicians or the philosophy of medicine. However, reviewing the problems arising out of recent developments within scientific medicine we find a pressing need for future philosophical analysis in the following areas: psychiatry, organ transplantation, abortion, euthanasia, experiments on living subjects, consent, confidentiality, the relationship between medicine and political authority, and the provisions for social justice in medicine.     

作为文本指向型哲学的中期柏拉图主义

和中期柏拉图主义相关的许多研究都是从学说角度展开的,这些研究假设了中期柏拉图主义的多样性,但却无法说明各种中期柏拉图主义学说为何会被统称为柏拉图主义。为了从一个统一的角度理解作为一个整体的中期柏拉图主义,本文假设古希腊哲学可以分为事实指向型和文本指向型两种形态,它们代表了做哲学的两种不同方式。中期柏拉图主义属于文本指向型哲学,以对柏拉图哲学对话的评注为做哲学的首要任务,因而这些评注活动强调柏拉图及其文本的权威地位。本文认为,我们应当在评注活动的语境中来理解柏拉图的权威,柏拉图的权威本质上是知识取向的,而非道德取向的。     

Malcolm Schofield: Cicero: Political Philosophy

Ethical Theory and Moral Practice -     

作为人类思考活动的政治哲学

人类的思考都是对观念的思考,它的前提是对既有认识都持一定的怀疑态度。人类思考依其怀疑程度而分类,哲学思考是所有思考中最具怀疑精神的颠覆性思考。政治哲学是一切有关政治生活思考中最具颠覆性的思考,它的起点是人类的政治生活经验,但政治哲学追求的不是什么确定性或确定性的基础,也不是对现实政治生活的指导,而是对现有政治生活认识的批判与颠覆。政治哲学区别于其他形式哲学的地方在于,它始于政治经验,又保留着与政治经验进行联系的历史轨迹。     

The Political Philosophy of Intersubjectivity and the Logic of Discourse

This paper is concerned with the competing and complimentary relationships between intersubjectivity and discursive logic. It contends that the ultimate failure of Husserlian phenomenology is a testament to the dilemma of subjectivist philosophy. Indeed, political philosophy requires a paradigm-shift from subjectivity to intersubjectivity. With this in mind, this paper examines the classical encounter between morality and ethical life in connection with discursive ethics. While it argues that Habermas still retains a strong residue of subjectivist philosophy, it attempts to clarify the discursive analysis of Foucault and probes into its applicability to practical philosophy.
