死刑存废新考

在当今中国刑法理论界,废除死刑的主张似呈压倒之势.但是,以往的和现有的废除死刑的理由正是保留死刑的理由.因此,死刑的存废来不得一相情愿.当今中国的死刑问题应在理智、谨慎和务实中得到解答.而社会不再需要死刑之时便是死刑死亡之日.     

文学生态学批评之“问题意识”刍议——从鲁枢元教授生态学批评观谈起

文学生态学批评的发生有着深刻的“问题意识”背景，而该批评中“问题意识”的凸现又要求着“主题意识”方面的建构与“命题意识”方面的探究，总起来看，该批评意味着一种关于人的认识新范型——“生态人”的出现与一种文学观方面的新理解。     

西部民族地区社会资本与生态文明建设

从西部民族地区生态文明建设所面临的困难与障碍出发，利用社会资本分析范式，从西部民族地区社会资本对变革生产方式的推动作用、对降低政府管理成本的作用、对提升生态意识的作用等几方面来分析社会资本对推动西部民族地区生态文明建设的积极意义：     

“生产的自然条件”与生产力发展的二重性——析马克思主义生产力理论之生态文明视角

马克思的生产力理论具有双重视角。唯物史观所谓的"生产力标准",是立足于工业文明的视角,在不考虑"生产的自然条件"前提下而得出的价值观;因此,它尽管赋有"决定历史发展的终极动力"地位,毕竟只能在普遍性的意义上存在。而在对现实的生产力发展模式的研究中,马克思立足于后工业文明的生态文明视角,创立了"生产的自然条件"范畴,并据此界定了生产力发展的现实意义:生产力能否实现与"生产的自然条件"之良性结合。这就为人类从工业文明的生产方式转型为生态文明的生产方式指明了路向。     

精神环保:可持续发展的另一个维度

可持续发展是基于人类无限发展的需要与自然资源的有限性这一现实矛盾而提出的战略思想。人类的生存困境可以归结为两个问题,一个是生态问题,一个是心态问题,而心态决定生态。人类贪婪的欲望是导致生态危机的罪魁祸首。中国传统文化中蕴含着人与自然和谐共生、尊重自然的固有价值和敬畏生命的实践取向等生态伦理思想,为生态文明建设提供了重要的思想资源。目前生态环保已经成为全人类的共识,而精神环保还没有引起人们的足够重视。我们应该树立以人为本的科学发展观,弘扬人文精神、责任意识与和谐精神,注重解决人类的精神处境和精神生活问题。精神环保与生态环保作为可持续发展的两翼,将成为21世纪人类建设生态文明的核心理念。     

生态消费模式:社会主义生态文明建设的必然选择

当前,伴随着经济的快速发展,我国新富群体中存在着一种"病态式消费"现象,加上西方消费主义影响,引发了诸多的社会问题。实践证明,只有树立正确的消费观念、克制消费欲望、调整消费行为,才能建立生态消费模式,才能符合社会主义生态文明的要求,实现人与自然的协调发展。     

Ecological Risk Assessment,Prediction, and Assessing Risk Predictions

Ecological risk assessment embodied in an adaptive management framework is becoming the global standard approach for formally assessing and managing the ecological risks of technology and development. Ensuring the continual improvement of ecological risk assessment approaches is partly achieved through the dissemination of not only the types of risk assessment approaches used, but also their efficacy. While there is an increasing body of literature describing the results of general comparisons between alternate risk assessment methods and models, there is a paucity of literature that post hoc assesses the performance of specific predictions based on an assessment of risk and the effectiveness of the particular model used to predict the risk. This is especially the case where risk assessments have been used to grant consent or approval for the construction of major infrastructure projects. While postconstruction environmental monitoring is increasingly commonplace, it is not common for a postconstruction assessment of the accuracy and performance of the ecological risk assessment and underpinning model to be undertaken. Without this “assessment of the assessment,” it is difficult for other practitioners to gain insight into the performance of the approach and models used and therefore, as argued here, this limits the rate of improvement of risk assessment approaches.

Disability and going green: a comparison of the environmental values and behaviours of persons with and without disability

Some studies have suggested that socially excluded groups exhibit different environmental values and behaviours from mainstream society. To consider this in the context of disability, a survey was implemented to investigate environmental values and ecological behaviour. A high percentage of participants considered themselves to have a disability, long‐standing illness or infirmity. Over half of the sample had restricted physical mobility. The study used the revised New Ecological Paradigm Scale, a widely used measure of pro‐environmental orientation, and the General Ecological Behaviour scale to assess ecological behaviours. No significant differences were found between respondents with/without disability for either their general environmental attitudes or their general ecological behaviour. However, a positive correlation was found between level of physical mobility and general ecological behaviour. The results also show significant differences in the ecological behaviours of those respondents living dependently and those living independently; respondents living in care scored lower on the ecological behaviour scale.     

“飘”向旧体制还是“飘”向新文明

小说《飘》由于书名和书中大量篇幅关于南方种植园主阶级对往昔生活的眷恋追忆和对北军解放黑奴的仇恨描写，曾引起评论界广泛争议，认为小说是在维护旧的奴隶制度，否定资本主义新文明。通过对历史发展的必然性和规律性及书中主人公在历史潮流推动下从行动的不自觉向思想的自觉的转变过程，揭示《飘》的思想主题并非历史的反动，而是在蓄奴制烟雾笼罩下升起的实力前进的灯火。
