Mapping the contours of faith in the land of separation: spiritual geographies for children

According to Jean Piaget, children begin to develop a concept of an object, such as that it has sides that are not visible from the child's perspective or that it is likely to be where one saw it last, in early infancy. By the close of the prelinguistic phase at about 2 years old, the child has developed a mature object concept, one that comprehends the object as a continuing entity even when it is not visible. Many children's picture books demonstrate Piaget's concept of object permanence through narrative and image. This paper offers a close reading of three classics, Goodnight moon, Harold and the purple crayon and Where the wild things are, in an explanation of how children are able to develop faith in an invisible, omnipresent deity.

王家台《归藏》与《穆天子传》

1993年3月,湖北江陵王家台15号秦墓中出土了《归藏》。王家台《归藏》举世瞩目,一些学者认为它就是商易。本文根据王家台《归藏》内容多出《穆天子传》本事的事实,认定王家台《归藏》必成书于《穆天子传》之后,属战国作品。本文还进一步分析了学术史上的相关问题,以为类似王家台《归藏》的内容很可能在西晋汲冢所出书中就已经发现。

Liberating Moral Traditions: Saga Morality and Aristotle's Megalopsychia

It is a matter for both surprise and disappointment that so little has been written from a philosophical perspective about the moral tradition enshrined in Europe's oldest living literature, the Icelandic sagas. The main purpose of the present essay is to start to ameliorate this shortcoming by analysing and assessing the moral code bequeathed to us by the saga literature. To do so, I draw attention to the striking similarities between saga morality and what tends to be called an 'ancient moral outlook' (with special reference to Aristotle's much-maligned virtue of megalopsychia) and then try to defend the credentials of both outlooks in so far as they clash, or seem to clash, with certain aspects of a 'modern moral outlook.'

《周易》东传与古代朝鲜半岛阴阳说

中国古代儒家经籍《周易》于汉代时已东传至朝鲜半岛,并在其"三国"时被确立为国学教育体系中的重要学习内容。在儒学教育体制和科举"科经取士"制度的促动下,古代朝鲜半岛不仅全面、系统地吸纳了《周易》思想,李氏朝鲜时还形成了活跃的易学研究局面,建构了自身的易学体系,成为域外易学的重要组成部分。随着《周易》思想及易学研究在朝鲜半岛的不断深化,其阴阳说也逐步渗透至天文地理、政治思想与社会文化等领域中,最终对朝鲜半岛哲学思想的发展及民族思维的建构产生了深刻的影响。     

Richard Popkin – A Personal Memoir

This article is an introduction to an ancient Egyptian text called The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant and an argument that it ought to be seen as a classic of political philosophy. After contextualizing the tale as part of a tradition of moral and political philosophy in ancient Egypt, I explore the methods by which the text defines the proper roles of political authority and contrast its approach to justifying political authority with the argument from the state of nature so common in modern Western political philosophy. I claim that the tale's argument from dysfunction anticipates the move in contemporary Western political philosophy towards privileging non-ideal over ideal theory. I discuss challenges in translating the key term in the tale – ma'at – in light of the fact that it can be taken to mean ‘justice’ and/or ‘truth’. Finally, I discuss how the irony at the heart of its narrative can lead us to interpret the tale as having either conservative or revolutionary implications for the political system it depicts.     

Trends in Online Academic Publishing

Modern information technology allows academics many new ways to enhance their research activities. This article suggests that one of the most important changes in recent years has been the overwhelming proliferation of academic research. It proposes that many new developments in online publishing have been, and will continue to be, in response to this proliferation of research. It also offers some general principles based on six years' working for a series of innovative online journals, including examples of where new technologies have been used successfully to enrich a journal's content without adding substantively to the workloads of authors and editors.     

鲍叔牙事迹考——从上博简（五）《鲍叔牙与隰朋之谏》谈起

鲍叔牙是齐桓公时的政治家。他早年与管伸共同经商、参战．关系密切;后精心辅助小白,帮助小白登上齐国王位,是为齐桓公。鲍叔牙向齐桓公推荐了管仲,支持管仲对齐国的治理。鲍叔牙是齐国的卿大夫,曾负责为桓公推荐人才。他忠言极谏,和管仲一起辅佐桓公,“九合诸侯,一匡天下”．齐国一时成为最强盛的国家。上博简《鲍叔牙和隰朋之谏》中,鲍叔牙谏议桓公远离佞臣,在政治上实施新举措,取得明显政治效果。但最终因为嫉恶如仇,政治上缺乏灵活性而没有位极人臣。
