麦金太尔论社会关系、共同利益与个人利益

我们从出生到死亡都处在一种接受与给予的关系中 ,我们从谁那里接受和给予谁往往是不对称的。这是我们参与到这个网络中不得不懂得的。在这个接受与给予的关系中 ,有我们的共同利益和我们个人的利益。同时 ,处在这样一种关系中 ,也需要我们遵守相应的德性规则。     

《禅林宝训》伦理思想儒学化探析

《禅林宝训》反复宣说的道、利之辨以及诚信等道德规范 ,在内容乃至形式上与儒家伦理基本一致。《禅林宝训》充分吸收儒家伦理思想 ,主张儒、佛融合 ,一方面是加强丛林自身道德建设的内在需要 ,另一方面是中国禅宗人间化的客观要求。佛教的五戒十善等伦理与儒家伦理存在相似之处 ,这为《禅林宝训》充分吸收、融合儒家伦理提供了内在理论契机。     

自然内在价值的哲学论证

自然内在价值的问题 ,是生态伦理学理论的基本问题 ,又是它的理论论证中疑惑最多、论证最困难的问题。我们需要把目的论、存在论和价值论统一起来 ,从“主 -客关系”统一的角度 ,进行它的哲学论证。     

诚信如何可能——儒家诚说的意蕴

诚信缺失是目前中国社会生活中的严重问题之一。信赖社会的构建有赖于充分挖掘和吸收中国传统伦理道德学说中的诚信思想资源。怎样才能成为一个诚信的主体 ?这是传统儒家诚信理论的重心所在。而诚信主体的确立又主要表现在是否“诚意”之上。欲使主体的“意诚” ,就必须通过“存养”和“省察”工夫来使人性中的“诚性”呈现与挺立起来。因而从本质上说 ,儒家的诚信论是一种道德修养论。     

Hegel: Death of God and Recognition of the Self

Abstract

This paper covers the theme of the death of God considered from a Hegelian standpoint. For Aristotle, the image of God as ‘thought thinking itself’ was an image of the knowledge aspired to in philosophy. With the notion of God becoming man and his insistence on the icon of the Cross, Hegel challenged the Aristotelian goal of philosophy as immutable knowledge of an ‘ultimate’ reality. Hegel viewed the crisis of normativity (the death of the Cartesian divine guarantor) as strictly linked to the conception of the self. It is Nietzsche who is best known for alluding to the full significance of this image for modern life, but Hegel’s thought on the complex relations of philosophy and religion in the modern world can be regarded as an attempt to think through this same historical phenomenon. In this paper, I focus on the philosophical relevance of Hegel’s notion of the death of God. I argue that unpacking the significance of the ‘truths’ presented symbolically in modern Christianity is crucial in understanding the requirements that an idealistic philosophy must meet.     

The usefulness of the story recall test in patients with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease

ABSTRACT

Background: The story recall test (SRT) is one of the most reliable neuropsychological assessments for evaluating verbal memory function in order to distinguish between individuals with normal aging, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The SRT is analogous to the logical memory test in Wechsler Memory Scale-III, which has recently been developed and standardized to apply to older adults in Korea. The purpose of this study was to examine the usefulness of the SRT and its ability to discriminate between normal cognitive aging and patients with MCI or AD. Methods: One hundred and twelve patients with MCI, 97 patients with AD, and 53 healthy elderly adults participated in this study. The SRT was compared with the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), Korean version of the Mini Mental State Examination (K-MMSE), and the Korean version of the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (K-HVLT). Results: The SRT was well-correlated with the dementia rating scales and the K-HVLT. However, the sensitivity and specificity of the SRT was greatly influenced by the level of education of the subjects. Conclusions: The SRT is a sensitive measurement of verbal memory function that can be used in clinical settings to discriminate between normal memory functioning and the very early and moderate stages of AD in a Korean population. Moreover, it is important to recognize that the SRT is more appropriate for subjects with a high level of education rather than a low level of education to differentiate normal cognitive aging from MCI or AD.     

自觉与他者——文化人类学对现代中医文化研究的启示

文化人类学最具“反思”精神,20世纪人类学的总特征是“我”和“他者”之间观察关系的改造.中医药文化的现代研究应当引入文化人类学中的“文化自觉”概念,应当在对中医历史传统回溯的基础上,建立现代文化的自我理解和自我价值认同.而文化人类学中“他者”对中医药文化研究提供的是另一种自我观察的方法,包括人的他者、文化的他者和历史的他者.现代中医文化研究可以运用文化人类学中的自我和他者的理念和方法,思考中医学现代性中的定位和发展.     

“他者”:护士职业精神的伦理诉求

护士职业精神是护士从业过程中所表现出的基本从业理念、价值取向、职业人格、职业准则及职业风尚的总和。“他者”是法国近代著名哲学家列维纳斯伦理学的核心概念,具有不同于“我”的绝对差异性、外在性和独特性。护士与患者的关系,一定程度上可以理解为“我”与“他者”的关系。从“他者”伦理视角探讨护士职业“他者”的精神内涵,通过分析临床中护士“他者”意识淡薄的具体表现,提出“他者”意识指导下护士职业精神的培养和提升路径:加强职业素养教育、营造人文护理氛围和深化护患沟通实践。     

北宋医理进展及渊源考述:以五脏辨证体系为线索

张仲景时期五脏证治概念界定边缘清晰,又能化整为零,分散于各具体证治。之后经六朝隋唐,杂病领域的积累致使内部有重新整合的刚性需求。而承载多层五脏辨证新说的七篇《大论》的出现切合发展时机。进入北宋之后,七篇《大论》没有立刻产生影响,直至仁宗时,由于国家校正医书局整理刊刻新《素问》才流行开来。随之而来,医家不断发挥新说。标志当时学术高度的是钱乙的《小儿药证直诀》,书中将化博为约、重新审察旧说、注重五脏辨证等北宋医学之新象发挥得淋漓尽致。北宋医理的突出进展,是发生于五脏辨证的学术脉络之下。     

The emergence and implementation of health goals

Abstract

Modern theorizing on goals is applied to an analysis of the implementation and the emergence of health goals. First, a model of action phases and its concomitant concepts of implemental mindsets and implementation intentions (Gollwitzer, 1990, 1993) are used to explore how the initiation of health goal directed behaviors can be facilitated and how the performance of health goal directed actions is enhanced. Second, recent theorizing on the psychology of thinking about the future (Oettingen, 1996; 1997) is employed to discuss conditions and processes of the emergence of health goals. It is suggested that contrasting positive fantasies about the future with reflections on the negative aspects of reality create binding health goals that reliably affect people's behaviors.
