孔子与鲁乐本及《诗经》

孔子与《诗经》的关系非常密切。本文认为《诗经》是孔子以鲁国乐本为底本,在授徒过程中经过逐渐编选,最终成为《诗三百》的。     

The Insufficiency of the Dutch Book Argument

It is a common view that the axioms of probability can be derived from the following assumptions: (a) probabilities reflect (rational) degrees of belief, (b) degrees of belief can be measured as betting quotients; and (c) a rational agent must select betting quotients that are coherent. In this paper, I argue that a consideration of reasonable betting behaviour, with respect to the alleged derivation of the first axiom of probability, suggests that (b) and (c) are incorrect. In particular, I show how a rational agent might assign a ‘probability’ of zero to an event which she is sure will occur.     

Sonu Shamdasani interviewed by Ann Casement

Abstract :  Sonu Shamdasani interviewed by Ann Casement about Jung's  The Red Book: Liber Novus  in the course of which they range over issues to do with what drew Shamdasani to Jung; how he came to be involved in editing, translating and publishing  Liber Novus ; why he is so passionate about it; where it stands in relation to Jung's other work; some of the central figures that appear in the book such as  Philemon  and  Izdubar ; what  Liber Novus  might offer training candidates and succeeding generations of Jungians; how it has changed Shamdasani's own impression of Jung and what he hopes this enormous project will achieve; why Jung did not publish it in his own lifetime and whether he was mistaken in not doing so; and what impact the publication of  Liber Novus  will have on Jung's reputation worldwide as well as within the Jungian community.     

What is The Red Book for analytical psychology?

Abstract: The Red Book enters the field of analytical psychology belatedly, yet presents itself as a foundational text. In this paper, I try to estimate how it will affect the field and to reflect on how it can be used by contemporary readers and clinicians. Jung's own works remain the baseline for theorizing and teaching the fundamental perspectives of analytical psychology, and yet the field has grown far beyond his own contributions. Is this late inheritance of central value or only of peripheral interest for the field? It can be used in various ways and certainly shows many interesting features that link it to Jung's later works, but does it detract or does it add? And if it adds, what does it add? In The Red Book, Jung is speaking to us from the grave. What is he saying? In this paper, I explore how it can be used as an inspirational text for keeping alive the spirit of the ancestors in the field and for linking the present to the deep past.     

《周易》家人卦的家道要旨

《周易》家人卦的家道理论体系,由立家之道、安家之道和兴家之道构成,且三位一体而又层层递进。立家之道,源于“阴阳变易”之化生原理,宏于“阴顺阳威”;付之践行,始于“闲邪未蒙”,功在“厉威勿纵”,誉于“顺德利贞”。安家之道,据于“允执厥中”的象位原理,适于“中正合宜”;履之于家,固于“持守正道”,毅于“谨遵中德”,成于各安角色。兴家之道,基于“民安国泰”的系统法则,旨在“家齐国治”;行之于家,寓于“王假有家”,系于交感互爱,遵于唯变所适。整个家道理论体系是一个系统有机统一的整体,极具系统性与辩证性。     

先秦法家法治思想的衍变——以《管子》、《商君书》和《韩非子》为中心

中国的“法治”思想源远流长,始于先秦法家,从春秋时期的管仲提出“以法治国”的主张,到战国时期的商鞅治国重“法”,再到韩非“法术势”相结合的法治理论的构建,先秦法家的法治思想经历了一个从萌芽到发展再到成熟的衍变过程,但法家的法治思想始终没有脱出君主专制下“以法治国”的巢臼。     

《论语》与《孔子诗论》的学术联系与区别

《孔子诗论》的诗学思想与《论语》既有联系又有区别。《孔子诗论》吸纳了《论语》诗乐教化和兴观群怨等学术观点。但在学《诗》目的上,它不像《论语》那样重视出使应对;在说《诗》方法上,它不像《论语》那样断章取义,而是直探诗旨本身;在对人性的看法上,它不像孔子不谈性,而是以子思学派的性情理论说《诗》。惟其学孔而不泥于孔,《孔子诗论》才能取得诗歌理论的巨大成就。     

论“帝乙归妹”与商周联姻无关

本文对“商王帝乙嫁女于周文王”的说法提出质疑,认为《易经》的“帝乙归妹”与《诗经·大明》描写的周文王迎娶“大邦”之女一事无关,不宜将两者联系起来理解并据以说明其他历史问题。     

“《易林》几与《三百篇》并为四言诗矩矱”——钱钟书论《易林》述评

当代学人尊之“文化昆仑”的钱钟书先生,对汉代焦延寿《易林》给予诗学意义上的极高评价:称与《诗经》“并为四言诗之矩（?）”。《管锥编》立《焦氏易林》专题,论述《乾》、《坤》……《未济》等三十林,涉及林辞数百篇.先生慧眼独具,对所论及篇、句的文学价值,从“造境寓意”、“拟象变象”、“词令之妙”等方面作细致分析,纵横比较、中外沟通,使《易林》的文学意义凸显于两汉文学背景之上,亦为中国文学史之奇葩。但钱先生以“文本自足”观认为不必为《易林》姓焦姓崔“判儿猫之是非”,本文对此提出异议.
