略论传统伦理道德的发展规律和历史命运-传统伦理道德思想论纲之一

中华民族在血缘宗亲的群体关系中,高度地发挥着人的本性,随着孝养的制度化,传统伦理道德思想从其原生期、形成期逐渐走入成熟期,发展出以三纲五常为主体的政治性伦理思想和以仁义说为核心的品格性伦理思想.前者借专制集权主义而大行其道,渐趋极端,压制着后者,扭曲着人性.后者顽强地抗争,熔铸着民族的精神,培养着"民族的脊梁".二者既对立又统一,既冲突又融合,共同构成传统伦理道德思想.这个矛盾的统一体循其矛盾规律而发展,从不中断,绝不消亡,在经过漫长的成熟期的五个阶段后,必然迈入自己的高级期.     

Private Action for Public Good?: The Public Role of Voluntary Sector Organizations

Voluntary sector organizations claim to be private institutions acting for the public good. However, if the concept of public is disengaged from the state and connected instead to citizenship, VSOs can be shown to have both private and public origins, as well as private and public impacts. As citizens, VSOs are public organizations serving the public good through their purported representation of the people and civic leadership. The legitimacy of their assumption of these public roles remains a continuing challenge.     

伦理制度之我见

伦理制度即道德的制度化,是伦理学研究和当前道德实践的重要领域。作者运用逻辑学的交叉概念理论及方法对伦理制度加以研究,认为伦理制度是制度与道德两种不同的社会规范交叉产生的具有新质的伦理范畴,它分为道德立法和道德纪律两大类型。与非制度化的伦理要求、道德规范相比较,伦理制度具有组织权威性、可操作性和外在强制性等特点,能产生"善有善报,恶有恶报"的强大作用,虽然它有其适用范围的限制,但在维护当今的社会秩序中发挥着道德说教和制度规章不可替代的作用。     

国际理解教育研究

国际理解教育是面向21世纪的新的教育观念,是推进世界和平的重要教育内容。分析国际理解教育产生的历史背景、发展阶段和主要内容并以英、美、日等国为例具体分析目前世界各国开展国际理解教育的具体措施并在我国中小学教育阶段开展积极有效的国际理解教育不无裨益。     

Prevalence Rates of Youth Gambling Problems: Are the Current Rates Inflated?

While there is a general consensus in the literature that it is common for youth to gamble, considerable variability in the reported prevalence rates of youth problem gambling has been found. More recently, issues concerning the possible overestimation of these rates have been raised. Arguments underlying the proposition that problem gambling rates for youth are inflated are examined. It is acknowledged that more rigorous research is required, including the need for the development and refinement of current adolescent instruments and screening tools, agreement upon a gold standard criterion for adolescent problem gambling, and clarity of nomenclature issues. The advancement of scientific knowledge concerning the underlying risk factors associated with the onset and course of youth gambling involvement and the role of effective adolescent prevention and treatment programs will require these fundamental research questions to be addressed.     

伦理经济原理与市场经济伦理

伦理学和经济学仿佛是互有敌意的兄弟。说它们是兄弟,因为它们都是关于人的行动和决策的理论,都关心行动和决策的合理性和正确性。说它们互有敌意,因为它们的规范性内容似乎是互相矛盾的,伦理学追求至善,而经济学追求效率,至善的东西未必有效率,有效率的东西未必至善;追求至善的好心人未必总是得到好报,追求效率的坏人未必总是得到恶报。怎样解决两者之间的这种矛盾,伦理经济提出了若干基本原理,其中最重要的有:善的三重性(道德、效果和效率)原理;伦理经济的双重性(经济和伦理性质)原理;作为伦理学经济的伦理经济原理(如道德利益相容性原理、普遍利益权重原理等);作为市场经济的伦理预设的伦理经济原理(如契约第三方原理、双重效应原理、超动机原理等)。     

Am I Still a Social Worker? Reflections on Child Protection Practice

Social workers alone appear to be held accountable for failures in child protection. However, social workers operate within a broader contextual environment. The protection of children does not occur in a vacuum, divorced from social and political influences. This discussion examines this issue and considers critical influences that appear to have eroded the social work perspective on child protection.     

伦理学视域下高校官方微博的功能定位分析

随着高校官方微博的渐渐兴起,如何善管、善用高校官方微博成为教育管理领域研讨的话题之一。作为一种文化形态,高校官方微博具有鲜明的伦理学特性。基于伦理主体之权威性、确定性,对伦理关系之互动性、立体化以及伦理群体之社会角色定位进行分析,有利于于探讨高校官方微博在发展、建设过程中的功能定位。     

新农村利益关系视阈下农村伦理文化的构建

任何一种利益关系都是在一定的文化养育中成长起来的,文化价值奠定了经济主体基本的行为方式,我国既有伦理文化,难以为新农村利益关系的产生和发展提供必要的思想基础和制度材料。在建构市场经济条件下新农村利益关系时,必须进行基础性、全面性的伦理文化的建设工作。既要推进传统伦理文化的开拓创新,又要实现市场经济条件下农村的法治化,并在新农村集体主义的建构中实现农村集体利益与个人利益的双向存在。     

The Clinician's Voice and the Limits of Bioethics

The bioethics movement has long promulgated a model of ‘principled decision‐making’ in which ethical dilemmas and conflicts between various rights, interests, and ethical principles are central. In many respects this movement has had a laudatory impact on health care and on health professionals, but we will also argue that the bioethical model of ethical analysis has important limitations. The model's theoretical orientation is discontinuous with the training and skills of health professionals, the manner in which health professionals conceptualise and solve problems that arise in a clinical setting, and the time constraints inherent in most clinical situations. As such, the model is not readily applicable to much of the day‐to‐day work of clinicians and, in particular, to the routine ethical questions and situations that arise in caring for patients. What we suggest is that the bioethical model does not take into account that health care professionals, as part of their daily work, encounter and manage difficult, often conflictual situations and that they do so by bringing to bear conceptual frameworks and therapeutic techniques that have, embedded within them, the ethical values and goals of their own fields, as well as established ways of dealing with problems and addressing competing priorities. We further argue that from a systems perspective, the bioethical model and the pragmatic, problem‐focused ethical decision‐making of clinicians operate on different levels of complexity; whereas the former is especially appropriate for situations that resist consensus or that raise significant issues of public policy, the latter serves as an effective framework in less difficult or complex situations that can be moved effectively toward consensus and closure.
