曹南冥图式的易学意义

与李退溪同时代的韩国学者曹南冥,依据程朱等的象数观念构建了独特的体系结构,这使他对天道与人道问题拥有了自己的见解.在天道观方面,南冥通过他的10幅图解,勾勒出一幅从宇宙演化-结构一本体追寻-内在规律(包括变化运动原因、必然性、趋势)--天人关系的图景,使理学天道观的内涵得到充分的阐示.在人道观方面,他把太极、乾道变化落实到各正性命、继善成性而立诚的过程之中,较为形象地为人类的伦理道德找到了本体论上的依据,从而弥补了当时韩国哲学研究注重义理而忽视象数的缺陷.     

Is `Property' Necessary? On Owning the Human Body and its Parts

Courts usually treat control over human bodies and body parts as a property issue and find that people do not have property rights in themselves. This contradicts the liberal philosophical principle that people should be able to perform any self-regarding actions that do not cause harm to others. The philosophical inconsistencies under pinning the legal treatment of body parts arguably stem from a misplaced judicial preoccupation with‘property’. A better approach would be to hold a policy inquiry into the degree of liberty a society wishes to grant its inhabitants. Only once this substantive issue has been addressed should property be raised as a possible method of implementing the policy.

International Justice,Human Rights and Neutrality

A number of theorists have tried to resolve the tension between a western-oriented liberal scheme of human rights and an account that accommodates different political systems and constitutional ideals than the liberal one. One important way the tension has been addressed is through a “neutral” or tolerant, notion of human rights, as present in the work of Rawls, Scanlon and Buchanan. In this paper I argue that neutrality cannot by itself explain the difference between rights considered appropriate for liberal states and rights considered to be human rights proper. The central arguments used by neutralist theorists presuppose, rather than justify, this differential treatment. Instead, that difference can be understood only by reference to the purpose of human rights as distinct from the constitutional rights of a liberal state. This requires us to reassess the point and purpose of a theory of international justice, in contrast to justice for a domestic and politically separate society. In the case of a theorist like Rawls, human rights represent guides to the foreign policy of a liberal state, rather than to principles by which all states are expected to abide. That is because of Rawls’ acceptance that no common, authoritative, third-party, institutions capable of imposing duties on all agents uniformly exist or can exist. This also makes his theory inherently conservative about human rights, given that they are simply to act as a guide to which states can be treated as legitimate when it comes to liberal foreign policy: those that possess institutions that can be said to represent a peoples, rather than being imposed through violence. This standard is lower than the ideal set of rights extended to all in a liberal society. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

20世纪的美国现象学心理学简评

20世纪中叶逐步形成与发展的美国现象学心理学以胡塞尔现象学为哲学基础,总体上体现为一种内源性研究取向,强调反思和描述人的心理现象的结构与意义,主张发展作为人文科学的心理学,坚持把“生活世界”作为心理学研究的重要根基,重视意识“意向性”的心理学价值,发展特有的心理学研究程序与方法。处于非主流心理学地位的美国现象学心理学对心理学的发展产生了一定贡献,但其影响又是有限的。     

论法官的角色伦理

法官的角色伦理研究是一个有别于法官职业道德研究的理论视角。法官是一个角色丛 ,包括了官员和司法者二重基本角色 ,所以 ,法官的角色伦理不只是对其作为一个职业者的规范 ,而是二重角色规范的综合体 ,它反映了社会对法官的综合道德评价。作为“官”的角色 ,它被赋予的特殊道德要求是公仆意识、廉洁和公正 ;作为司法者 ,其特殊的职业伦理是刚毅、谨慎和勤勉。法官角色伦理建设是以理性人与经验人的统一为人性假设前提的 ,其基本思路是立足于制度道德建设 ,加强思想道德教育 ,适度进行奖惩。总之 ,一个有别于法官职业道德的理论视角 ,对于法官的道德建设具有重大的理论意义和实践价值。     

THE JOURNEY BEYOND ATHENS AND JERUSALEM

Abstract. John Caiazza's essay raises important controversial issues regarding the contemporary debates between science and religion. His arguments are largely presented in a dichotomous and rather adversarial mode with which I strongly disagree. Unable to present a detailed counterargument in this brief reflection, I ask, What is being spoken about, and who is speaking? What is meant by science and religion here? Neither term can be taken as a unified, essentialist category; both comprise many historical layers, possess numerous internal complexities, and invite a diversity of interpretations. I refer to the science of China, India, and the ancient Near East, all of which have fed into modern science, so that the sciences cannot be restricted to those of the modern West. Nor can religion be limited to the religious beliefs and practices of Western Christianity. I discuss the position/location/context of the author‐ Caiazza's as well as my own‐ after introducing Hans‐Georg Gadamer's idea of the “fusion of horizons,” which provides a rich vein for enhancing the debate between science and religion. To expand the respective horizons of their dialogue it will be important to move away from an adversarial, exclusionary spirit to a more collaborative and communicative framework that allows for the development of new ideals, new questions, new ways of knowing, and an ethical and socially responsible stance more centered on human needs and concerns. We may have to build an altogether new Athens and Jerusalem for this.     

知情不同意

自主原则是医学伦理学的基本原则之一,自主权是患者的基本权利.从临床实践出发,分析了患者知情后拒绝治疗的自主选择与其他利益相冲突的情况,总结了医生尊重患者自主权利的伦理条件,对指导临床实践具有一定的现实意义.     

我国人体临床试验和研究中有关伦理审查的若干问题

目前我国对涉及人体的临床试验与研究进行伦理审查时,存在的主要问题是:(1)对伦理审查的目的、意义不是足够清楚;(2)伦理委员会的构成不符合要求,缺少独立性;(3)有盲目运用伦理准则或方法,忽视文化、心理的差异的倾向.这些影响了伦理审查的效用,需要有针对性地加以改进.     

哈贝马斯关于基因技术应用的人性论论证

现代生物工程技术的迅猛发展使人类对自身生命过程的干预和控制成为可能,与此同时也对人的尊严和价值构成了极大的挑战和冲击。在新的情势下,怎样利用技术才能避免伤害,体现尊重人的精神?哈贝马斯从人性论的角度出发,认为每个人只有将自己看作是人类当中的一个平等的成员,是人种当中的一个份子,才能避免对其他生命控制和操纵,才能避免对待他人的工具化态度。只有从人类学的广阔视野出发,变人与人之间的主客体关系为主体间性关系,才能深刻理解生命伦理学尊重原则的哲学基础和人文内涵,从而为技术的道德化使用指明了方向。
