三陈九卦章考释

《易传》以孔子的易学观为指导,吸取《论语》、《孟子》、《左传》、《国语》中的伦理道德观念及其言说方式,提出“三陈九卦”说,对履、谦、复等九卦反复加以论述,将孔子“观其德义”的思想具体化,要求人们提高道德境界,以此作为防止和解除忧患的依据,对儒家人文主义易学观的确立作出了重要贡献。     

《易传》道家说质疑

本文从陈鼓应先生论证“《易传》道家说”的重点文章《〈彖传〉与老庄》、《〈彖传〉的道家思维方式》出发,不仅指出其论据方面的不足,而且指出其论证方法是使用“丐辞”、“默证”。因此,《彖传》不能成立。甚至陈先生所用的“道家”这一名目,也不适当。从而说明“《易传》道家说”不能成立,其“道家主干说”也因此缺少重要文献材料,难以服人。     

The semantic origins of word order

Where do the different sentence orders in the languages of the world come from? Recently, it has been suggested that there is a basic sentence order, SOV (Subject–Object–Verb), which was the starting point for other sentence orders. Backup for this claim was found in newly emerging languages, as well as in experiments where people are asked to convey simple meanings in improvised gesture production. In both cases, researchers found that the predominant word order is SOV. Recent literature has shown that the pragmatic rule ‘Agent first’ drives the preference for S initial word order, but this rule does not decide between SOV and SVO. This paper presents experimental evidence for grounding the word order that emerges in gesture production in semantic properties of the message to be conveyed. We focus on the role of the verb, and argue that the preference for SOV word order reported in earlier experiments is due to the use of extensional verbs (e.g. throw). With intensional verbs like think, the object is dependent on the agent’s thought, and our experiment confirms that such verbs lead to a preference for SVO instead. We conclude that the meaning of the verb plays a crucial role in the sequencing of utterances in emerging language systems. This finding is relevant for the debate on language evolution, because it suggests that semantics underlies the early formation of syntactic rules.     

Extensions and Mechanisms of Mindfulness‐based Cognitive Therapy: A Review of the Evidence

Mindfulness‐based cognitive therapy (MBCT) was originally developed to prevent depressive relapse and recurrence and has also been widely extended to new patient populations and target problems over the last 14 years. We provide a comprehensive review of this literature, examining the strength of the evidence base for specific populations and target problems and identifying questions for future research to address. Specifically, we review studies addressing the use of MBCT for depressive disorders (prevention of depressive relapse and treatment of residual and current depressive symptoms), the use of MBCT in the treatment or management of other mental disorders (bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, mixed anxiety and depression symptoms, disordered eating, personality disorders, and psychosis), and the use of MBCT in behavioural medicine contexts. Additionally, we discuss the extension of MBCT during specific developmental periods, like childhood, pregnancy and post‐partum, and adult caregiving, and, finally, we address the use of MBCT among clinical health‐care providers. In the second section, we review hypothesised mechanisms of change in MBCT and reflect on implications for theories of how MBCT works in the application to various patient populations and target problems. We also consider research addressing active ingredients and what is known about the “dosage” of meditation practice. We conclude with a summary of recommendations for future research.     

遗传算法与易算算法

本文认为 ,《周易·系辞传》“天地之大德曰生” ;“生生之谓易”等以生命为本并强调生命演化的思想都与西方新兴起的遗传算法 (基因算法 )精神一致。文章在介绍了已故著名科学易学家潘雨廷先生对遗传密码的理解后 ,进而介绍了西方遗传算法的内容和结构 ,并把DNA本体看作计算硬件 ,把易数看作软件。最后比较了象数思维与遗传算法的思维 ,并提出了八卦空间
