SCIENCE,RELIGION, AND THE MEANING OF LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE: “AMALGAM” NARRATIVES OF POLISH NATURAL SCIENTISTS

This article deals with phenomena occurring at the interface of the existential, the religious, and scientific inquiry. On the basis of in‐depth interviews with Polish physicists and biologists, I examine the role that science and religion play in their narrative of the meaning of the Universe and human life. I show that the narratives about meaning have a system‐related (“amalgam") character that is associated with responses to adjacent metaphysical questions, including those based on scientific knowledge. I reconstruct the typical amalgam questions of Polish scientists and come to a conclusion about the stability of religious and nonreligious amalgams in this group. Critically referring to the thesis concerning the secularizing impact of science, I conclude that science by itself does not have a destructive effect on Polish scientists’ confidence that life and the Universe are meaningful, but is rather an exacerbating factor of the existing worldview system.     

《周易》自然哲学与生命实践

《周易》蕴涵的自然哲学思想,可谓是一种以生命为隐喻,宇宙论、本体论、价值论统一的生成哲学,它基于道德实践与认识实践统一的生命实践。文章根据《周易》"经"、"传"本身之内涵,按现代哲学表述方法,从源于道德之宇宙论,三才圆通之本体论,知行不二之实践论,生成整体之方法论等方面,阐明中国式自然哲学的特性与意义。指出正是这种独特的自然哲学,不仅开启了中国文化超越的价值之源,为中国古代科学提供了形而上学基础,而且应在21世纪伟大历史转型和中西对话中,共同创造人类不同文化"殊途同归"、"和而不同"的世界生成之序。     

时间洞察力的理论研究

对时间洞察力的理论研究进行了总结和回顾,把时间洞察力的观点归纳为八个方面：时间洞察力的发展观、性别观、学业观、生活观、文化观、健康观、人格观及精神病理学观点。认为时间洞察力研究应该把重点放在理论构建和因果关系的探讨上。     

ChatGPT对循证医学发展的影响、挑战及其应对

探讨了ChatGPT在循证医学领域的应用潜力,分析其可能带来的挑战并提出应对策略。ChatGPT作为当前最火爆的人工智能技术之一,在推动循证医学学科发展方面发挥着重要作用,尤其体现在：扩展原始证据来源、提高证据获取的效率、协助医患共同决策、促进循证医学教育和科普教育。当前ChatGPT正处于“技术萌芽期”,需要警惕其带来的风险,例如“证据污染”、算法黑箱、安全漏洞和数字鸿沟等。为了平衡 ChatGPT 在循证医学领域的积极作用与潜在风险,笔者从ChatGPT的伦理规范、证据来源、专家验证和使用规范等角度给出了对策和建议。

     

生前预嘱制度的伦理困境与化解路径

随着医疗技术在医疗领域的迅速发展,个人对医疗措施具备了更宽泛的选择权。然而,我国对生前预嘱制度的引入存在较大的伦理争议,主要表现为基于目标冲突、责任冲突和角色冲突导致的伦理困境。通过解析救死扶伤的时代理解、父权主义的时代抛弃、自然死亡的时代定位与生前预嘱的时代需求,提出我国应对救死扶伤进行重新定义、确立个人中心主义、正确对待自然死亡、推进生前预嘱制度入法的应对策略,以从根本上破解生前预嘱制度的伦理困境,促进生前预嘱制度在我国的落地实施。

     

当代医学高新技术发展方略刍议

种种情况表明,当代医学技术已经发展到一个新阶段,它与以往那种在人类原质自然生命基础上对身体不适和缺陷进行治理与调节的高新技术不同,而是从分子、亚分子层次着眼认识和诊治疾病,利用新技术提供的种种技术手段,改造或制造人体组织、脏器或制造人体生命,并表现为不同形态、具有多种特点的新质医学高新技术。发展医学高新技术的方略是：坚持和服务于医学宗旨;区别高新技术的价值和意义的不同并分别对待;攻克重、危、难疾病与促进全民健康目标并举;择优选择;同时不逾越生命神圣与尊严、尊重自然法则的底线;倡导理性创新;遵从技术谦逊主义。

     

最心安处是吾乡：本体安全感威胁对家乡品牌偏好的影响

全球化进程的加快和贸易战的发生让人们处于一种本体不安全的状态中,即人们的本体安全感受到了威胁。本文研究了消费者本体安全感威胁对家乡品牌偏好的影响。三项研究的结果表明,相比本体安全感没有受到威胁的个体,本体安全感受到威胁的个体对家乡品牌的偏好度更高,其中家乡依恋起到了中介作用。具体而言,本体安全感受到威胁的个体更倾向于依恋可以提供常规生活和构建个人身份的家乡,以此寻求本体安全感恢复,从而增加了对家乡品牌的偏好。实验结果还发现,自然栖息地情境展露在本体安全感威胁对家乡品牌偏好的作用中起到调节作用。具体而言,当展露于自然栖息地情境时,本体安全感受到威胁的个体能够通过对自然栖息地这一更广泛的地点依恋来对抗本体安全感威胁,不再需要寻求家乡依恋来缓解本体安全感威胁,从而使其在对家乡品牌和非家乡品牌的偏好上不再呈现出差异。本研究的发现丰富了现有本体安全感和品牌偏好的相关研究,为品牌提供了一种新的本土营销策略,具有丰富的理论贡献和管理启示。     

“先行组织者”教学策略在中学历史教学中的实验研究

EXPERIENCING AND INTERPRETING NATURE IN SCIENCE AND RELIGION

Abstract. I trace three paths from nature to religious interpretation. The first starts from religious experience in the context of nature; examples are drawn from nature poets, reflective scientists, and exponents of creation spirituality. The second,„Natural Theology”uses scientific findings concerning cosmology or evolution to develop an argument from design–or alternatively to defend evolutionary naturalism. The third,„Theology of Nature”starts from traditional religious beliefs about God and human nature and reformulates them in the light of current science. I point to examples of each of these paths in papers by other participants in this symposium, and suggest that all three paths can contribute to the task of relating science and religion today.     

RALPH WENDELL BURHOE: HIS LIFE AND HIS THOUGHT

Abstract. This third installment in David Breed's intellectual biography of Ralph Wendell Burhoe focuses upon the impact of his thought on the Unitarian Universalist Association and that group's role in Burhoe's career. Dana McLean Greeley, elected president of the American Unitarian Association in 1958, was a key figure in Burhoe's eventual participation in the project, "The Free Church in a Changing World." Burhoe's emphasis on the need for doctrine that could communicate religious wisdom in terms of science stood in tension with free-church tradition. Nevertheless, the section of the project's final report, titled "Theology and the Frontiers of Learning," largely accepted Burhoe's program for a new natural theology based on science. This project brought Burhoe's program to the attention of the denomination and led to the invitation in 1964 from Malcolm Sutherland, on behalf of Meadville/Lombard Theological School in Chicago, of which he was president, for Burhoe to implement his program in the new curriculum of that school. Burhoe accepted.
