《格萨尔》史诗中的生态文化及其现代转换

《格萨尔》史诗蕴藏的丰富的生态文化起源于原始崇拜与宗教信仰,其哲理基础是二元的,藏传佛教“众生平等”的宗教理念是史诗中生态文化的主要哲理基础。古代藏族人民以宗教信仰与宗教惩罚、部落法规及习俗禁忌等社会机制为手段对藏区的自然生态进行了有效的保护,在藏区建立了和谐的生态环境。在生态问题叠出的今天,探讨史诗中的传统生态文化向现代生态文化的转换则具有极为重要的现实意义。建立正确的生态伦理观与自然观,转变生态理念,完善生态保护的制度化、规范化则是进行现代转换的三条主要途径。唯此,《格萨尔》史诗才能在生态的21世纪更加凸显其传统生态文化的现代意义。

Sensitive Caregiving Fosters the Comprehension of Speech: When Gestures Speak Louder than Words

Despite a variety of theoretical arguments to the contrary, sensitive caregiving makes an important contribution to the comprehension and emergence of speech. This research, informed by social ecological realism, documented that during the prelinguistic and one-word periods, caregivers routinely provided additional perceptual structure to their infants following communicative breakdowns. This sensitive adjusting of subsequent messages to infants contributed significantly to reaching a common understanding. Caregivers also modified their verbal messages in subsequent turns by making them more specific. In contrast, however, these elaborations did not contribute to achieving a practical consensus regarding ongoing events. These results suggest that the social ecological realist approach informing this research has important implications for theory, reviewing past empirical findings and future research. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

An ecological analysis of knowing by wielding.

The ecological approach to perception, as developed by James Gibson, is described and applied to how one knows, by means of the haptic perceptual system, various properties of hand-held objects. Four sets of experiments are reviewed in which subjects reported on the extent, orientation, shape, and fractional components of unseen objects wielded freely. For each task, an invariant specific to the object property in question is identified in the structured arrays of rotational moments and strains produced by the act of wielding. Results are discussed in relation to the concepts of attention and stimulation, as reformulated by the ecological approach, and the general theory of perception as information pickup.     

The urban environment and child pedestrian and bicycle injuries: Interaction of ecological and personality characteristics

It is argued that the study of injuries to child pedestrians and cyclists in urban contexts must involve the study of complex elements interacting within a total environment. This complexity, and the need for further research, is illustrated from a study of 400 child victims in an urban, ecological study, and of 67 individually studied child victims and controls. It is argued that the individual vulnerability of some children puts them at high risk when they live in certain types of urban neighbourhoods.     

Constructing a Tree for Community Leaders: Contexts and Processes in Collaborative Inquiry

This paper presents collaborative research between a university-based team and a grass roots community organization on the south side of Chicago. The purpose of the work is to document the nature of community leadership as expressed by members of the host organization. Using a semistructured interview, 77 community members nominated by the host organization were asked about various aspects of their community work. Qualitative analyses of interview text generated a set of 56 codes concerning different aspects of community leadership as reported by grassroots leaders. These codes were subsequently grouped together into five conceptually linked dimensions of community leadership. A leadership tree that simultaneously analyzes and visually displays each of these five dimensions of community leadership was created. Implications of the methodology used to create the leadership tree are discussed for the salience of qualitative methods in community research.     

非期望刺激的生态意义信息对无意视盲的影响:情绪效价和精细程度的作用

采用Most(2000)的持续动态的实验范式,以圆圈、抽象面孔和真实面孔为非期望刺激,研究其生态意义信息对无意视盲的影响。研究发现:(1)相对于正性面孔和中性面孔,被试对负性面孔作为非期望刺激时的觉察率更高;而对正性面孔和中性面孔作为非期望刺激时的觉察率无显著性差异;(2)相对于圆圈,抽象面孔和真实面孔作为非期望刺激的觉察率更高,而抽象面孔与真实面孔作为非期望刺激时的觉察率均无显著性差异。结果表明,负性的、精细的非期望刺激的无意视盲率更低,即生态意义信息强的非期望刺激更易捕获注意。     

SARS的流行与可持续发展的生态伦理观

试析道教劝善书中的生态伦理思想

道教劝善书作为一种伦理道德教化书 ,其中所述的伦理道德规范不仅用以调节人与人之间、人与社会之间的相互关系 ,而且还进一步推广到调节人与动植物、人与自然的关系 ;它主张自然界生命的平等性 ,倡导“贵生”的生命情怀 ,提出“是道则进 ,非道则退”的生态伦理行为准则 ,从而形成了具有神学特征的以生命为中心的生态伦理观。     

人未到场的生态伦理学研究

在目前的生态伦理学研究中 ,人类中心主义和非人类中心主义围绕着自然物有无道德地位展开了激烈的争论。这种争论的不可调和性以及它们观点的不可公度性 ,表明生态伦理学自身发生了严重的形上学危机。导致这种危机的一个根本原因是 :在没有确立“人是什么”的前提下 ,就展开了人与价值的争论 ,致使生态伦理学研究出现了人的空场。生态伦理的形上学基础 ,不是自然物有无道德地位 ,而是人之为人。人惟有首先成为保护自然环境的人 ,拥有保护自然环境的人性 ,他才能够自觉地保护自然环境。
