For better,for worse? Public support for the capitalist model of the economy

A capitalist market economy is based on several institutional elements, such as private ownership and competition. Does public support for this economic model rise if the economy prospers, and fall during a downturn? Or is public support largely independent of the ups and downs of economic cycles? We hypothesize that positive economic performance increases support and that persons profiting personally are more supportive of the economic system's constitutive institutional elements. Using multilevel regression we study the determinants of individual-level support for the economic system. We also test for differences in the perception of economic performance due to political attitudes and personal properties. The findings partly support the hypotheses, indicating that macro-economic factors matter for individual-level attitudes towards the economy. Attitudes towards different institutional elements of the economic system also differ in the degree to which they are political or economic, and influenced by economic performance. Individual features – education and personal economic stakes – affect attitudes towards the economy, but a substantial share of the individual-level variation in economic attitudes remains unexplained.     

20世纪初中国人对马克思思想解读的再评价

19世纪末20世纪初,马克思的思想就传入了中国,梁启超在传统大同思想与社会主义贯通中对它进行解读;早期国民党人在批判资本主义,建构民生主义中对它进行评价;无政府主义在反传统中认同马克思的共产主义。虽然各有局限性,但又各有自身的意义。以十月革命的经验解读马克思主义,遮蔽了对马克思思想早期传播的研究,研究马克思主义在中国的早期传播,对认识马克思主义中国化有重要意义。

吾有志在丘壑--论辛弃疾的园林审美意识和人生态度

辛弃疾起义南归之后,与山水园林结下了不解之缘,他游览过许多湖山胜景,建造了自己的第宅园林,并创作了大量的与山水园林有关的词篇.他以多彩的笔墨描绘了自然山水和庭园风光,表现出崇尚自然、虚淡的审美意识,并在一定程度上抒写了随遇而安、超然放旷的人生态度.     

A sociolinguistic application of Bakhtin's authoritative and internally persuasive discourse

Through the use of two central Bakhtinian concepts, authoritative and internally persuasive discourse (word), this paper examines the tension between the ideology of linguistic hegemony as a source of power in the Greek public sphere and the condition of language shift faced by the Albanian‐speaking communities of modern Greece. I argue here that a cautious application of these two notions, which are relevant to linguistic ideology, can reveal crucial aspects of two processes: that of subordination to and that of questioning of the dominant linguistic ideology by local Albanian‐speaking communities. Thus, in language shift contexts, it is possible that no simple relations obtain that place social agents in unquestionable and easily predictable positions. Such an approach proves useful for the sociolinguistic study of threatened language communities.     

马克思理论视野中的社会契约论

马克思在建构自己理论的过程中 ,对西方近代自由主义的社会契约论思想进行了批判。他的批驳主要体现在 3个方面 :反对社会契约论所采用的个人主义的理论前提 ,认为人本质上是社会性存在 ;揭示社会契约论所预设的个人自由的实质 ,认为这只是形式的自由 ,人的本质同人的存在处于尖锐对立之中 ;在研究方法上 ,认为在对社会 (包括对社会的经济形态和政治制度 )进行的科学分析中 ,应坚持以经验为基础 ,而社会契约论者所采用的高度抽象的论证方式 ,因袭的是传统社会理论的抽象研究方法论范式。     

风险社会的来临与历史决定论的消解

风险社会的来临改变了人类的生存境遇和生活体验，也必将导致人们观念和行为方式的改变。对现代风险社会进行认真的反思，并将与“人为的不确定性”相联系的风险概念引入，可以消解历史决定论的思维定势，也可以为马克思历史唯物主义的真实意蕴及当代性的彰显提供全新的解释维度和现实根据。     

马克思的劳动价值论及在新经济时代的发展

马克思的劳动价值理论不仅是科学的,而且避免了主流经济学关于供求变化与价格变化相互关系的混乱状况。在新经济时代坚持和发展马克思劳动价值理论,必须在正确理解马克思劳动价值理论的基础上结合新经济时代的实际进行理论创新。
