论自我的实在基础和社会属性

What is the self? This is a problem which has been debating in the modern western philosophy. In contemporary philosophy of mind, there are four answers about the problem, namely, illusion theory, metaphysical theory, self realism, and social constructionism. This article discusses the four theories, and discusses the reality and social nature of the self. The author thinks that:(1) the self has its biological basis and social nature; (2) the self’s reality is not opposite to it’s social nature, but is cons...     

论岭南文化评价标准的历史演变

岭南自古就有文化,然而岭南文化长期受到北方学者的鄙视。历史上评价岭南文化标准的演变可以划分为"无同"、"无范"、"无学"和"无家"四个阶段。先秦的"无同"是岭北人在夷夏文化并立、争鸣的背景下对岭南文化特性的直观感受。秦汉的"无范"是在封建帝国的统一规范下对岭南文化所下的判断,随之而起的是在"以夏变夷"的帝国政策下对岭南文化进行强制性的改造。唐宋时期北方学者对岭南"钟物不钟人"的评价,给岭南人的文化自尊带来了很大的触动,于是自明代开始,岭南人努力摘掉"无学"的帽子,文化自信得到增强。20世纪前期不少学者以岭南古代的"无家"来反衬岭南近代的"有家",并相信岭南近代文化代表了中国未来文化的发展方向。     

传教士在西南少数民族地区的文字创制活动

19世纪末至20世纪二三十年代,在滇、黔、川边活动的传教士为了便于在少数民族中传播教义、教理,在少数民族信徒的帮助下,先后创制和推广了几种少数民族文字。英国循道公会传教士柏格理创制了老苗文;英藉内地会传教士富能仁和缅甸克伦族传教士巴东创制了老傈僳文;美国浸礼会传教士库森、欧.汉逊等创制了景颇文;美国浸信会传教士永文生创制了拉祜文、佤文;英籍澳大利亚传教士张尔昌等创制了黑彝文。这些文字对基督教的传播和少数民族的生活均产生了一定影响。     

道教的三尸观念与医药养生学

<正>道教认为"生可惜也,死可畏也",历来十分重视具有济世活人之功效的医术,作为道教问道修仙之重要途径的斩三尸,其过程与内容也体现了与医药养生学千丝万缕的联系。三尸又叫三尸神或三尸虫,也叫"三彭"或"三虫",具体包括上尸三虫,中尸三虫,下尸三虫,所以称为"三尸九虫"。三尸虫中之上尸名青姑,中尸名白姑,下尸名血姑,或言上尸称彭踞,中尸称彭踬,下尸称彭矫。九虫则指伏虫、回虫、     

The Effect of Parental Responsiveness on Differences in Psychological Distress and Delinquency between Singleton and Non-Singleton Chinese Adolescents

We assessed the differences in psychological distress and delinquent participation between singleton and non-singleton Chinese adolescents and the extent to which parental responsiveness (mother’s vs. father’s) might account for such differences. Using survey reports of 1,924 7th and 8th graders from three middle schools in the outskirts of Fuzhou, China, we observed small but significant differences between singleton and non-singleton adolescents. Singletons reported lower levels of psychological distress and delinquent participation than non-singleton adolescents. Furthermore, singletons received higher levels of parental responsiveness, which was inversely related to psychological distress and delinquent participation, respectively. The difference in psychological distress between singletons and non-singletons was completely mediated by both maternal and paternal responsiveness. Paternal responsiveness alone fully mediated the difference in delinquent participation between singleton and non-singleton adolescents. We discussed these results in light of both theoretical literature and empirical implications.     

分析哲学的分析

为了分析方便,我们列举若干定义,由窄到宽排成一个序列,分析每一定义的指称和意义,从中寻找一个适度定义。这个适度定义就是:分析哲学是以应用语言分析,并且(尽可能地)应用逻辑分析来研究一切哲学问题的哲学。分析哲学在中国的传播和发展遭遇的重大困境主要是分析传统包括语言分析、逻辑分析的匮乏。而其意义和价值也在于消除这一匮乏。分析哲学某些特定形态必然消亡。但是分析哲学本身还在不断发展。分析精神不朽!     

三值量子逻辑进路探析

量子测量实验显示部分经典逻辑规则在量子世界中失效。标准量子逻辑进路通过特有的希尔伯特空间的格运算揭示出一种内在于微观物理学理论的概念框架结构,也即量子力学测量命题的正交补模或弱模格,解释了经典分配律的失效,它在形式化方面十分完美,但在解释方面产生了一些概念混乱。在标准量子逻辑进路之外,赖欣巴赫通过引入"不确定"的第三真值独立地提出一种不同的量子逻辑模型来解释量子实在的特征,不是分配律而是排中律失效,但是他的三值量子逻辑由于缺乏标准量子逻辑的上述优点而被认为与量子力学的概率空间所要求的潜在逻辑有很少联系。本文尝试引入一种新的三值逻辑模型来说明量子实在,它有以下优点:(1)满足卢卡西维茨创立三值逻辑的最初语义学假定;(2)克服赖欣巴赫三值量子逻辑的缺陷;(3)澄清标准量子逻辑遭遇的概念混乱;(4)充分地保留经典逻辑规则,特别是标准量子逻辑主张放弃的分配律。     

Piloting the Geographic Information System (GIS) Methodology as an Analytic Tool for Subjective Wellbeing Research

This article introduces the Geographic Information System (GIS) methodology to Subjective Wellbeing (SWB) research. The interactive mapping and analysis tools of GIS are combined with SWB to demonstrate an alternative method of data analysis and presentation encompassing spatial context. The SWB of the Victorian population was measured using a representative state wide telephone survey conducted for the wider Community Indicators Victoria project. GIS methodology is used for the presentation and analysis of population SWB collected from 24,000 Victorians and mapped according to 79 Local Government Areas. The advantages of the alternative method of data presentation are discussed and the wellbeing of the state considered within geographical context. Future applications for the use of GIS and SWB are discussed, including diagnostic and outcome measures for government policy and planning.     

Impact of signals and experience on trust and trusting behavior

Trust is an essential factor that drives virtual interaction and transactions on the Internet. Researchers have investigated the trust development process, and identified several important factors that form the basis for trust. This research combines the signal perspective and trust theory to examine the impact of market signals and past experience on trust formation and trusting behavior. Three market signals, including brand image, Web-site investment, and privacy policies, are identified and empirically tested to determine their impact on consumer trust. Based on 322 active Web users, the quantitative results suggest that brand image, Web-site investment, privacy policies, and past experience all positively impact trust formation. Furthermore, trust shows a positive effect on Web-site stickiness. Both theoretical and practical implications of the results are also offered.
