“百年未有之大变局”之哲学分析

当今世界正处于“百年未有之大变局”中。这是中国共产党对于世界新的时代特征的全新、科学和准确的研判。“百年未有之大变局”这一重大论断，具有深厚的马克思主义哲学的本体论基础、认识论基础、矛盾论基础和历史观基础。作为科学世界观与方法论，马克思主义哲学的辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义为我们深刻认识和精准把握“百年未有之大变局”的深层本质和哲学依据提供了重要的认知性引导、方法论基础和实践智慧支撑。     

形似与神似，求真与求美--从本体诗歌翻译理论的角度分析

本体诗歌翻译理论主要探讨译文与原文在形式与内容上的关系。译文与原文应该达到形似还是神似，译者应该求真还是求美，这是翻译界一直争论的话题。按照“形似与神似，求真与求美”的关系来分析江枫先生对艾米莉·狄金森的两首诗歌“暴风雨夜”和“篱笆那边”的翻译，可以看出，标点符号、遣词、诗歌的韵式和诗人的创作风格等方面体现了江枫译文的特点和风格：译文选词简单但富有张力，行文简约而内敛，与原诗风格颇似；但由于过于追求简约而稍显生硬和晦涩。总之，江枫的译文是形似与神似结合的典范，体现其“形似而后神似”的主张以及“简约而忠实”的风格，但并未完全实现“求真与求美”的完美结合。     

印度和古希腊哲学中的本原论比较研究

本原问题是哲学探讨的基本问题。古印度和古希腊在各自哲学观念形成之初就提出了这方面的思想。两者的此类理论中既有认为单一实体为本原的思想,也有认为多种实体为本原的思想;有不约而同地提出相同思想的情况,也有分别提出特色理论的情形。在两地提出的相同或类似观点中,不能排除二者有相互交流的可能。本原概念对于印度和欧洲哲学在后世的发展都有重要影响。由于两地本原论在古代的差别,对后世两地哲学的影响也呈现出不同的形态。古印度和古希腊的本原思想展现了人类思想的智慧之光,为世界哲学在后世的发展提供了宝贵的思想材料和理论前行基础。     

从哲学的视角审视管理的本质——对《再问管理学——“管理学在中国”质疑》的回应

从系统论的视角,从管理的起源、管理的基本要素(主体)、组织结构(主体秩序)和管理过程(主体活动)等方面探讨了管理的本质,并指出管理是以组织为载体而存在于世的生命体的意志过程,通过适应和积极面世的实践活动以界定和实现自身;从管理活动的界定、管理价值的内在性和秩序性、组织道德层次等方面论证了管理的目的论价值;从管理的方法论、原则和管理艺术等方面论证了怎样管理.从而说明了管理是“真”、“善”、“美”的和谐统一.     

有无之辩视野下的本体论范畴体系建构

在查明存在者的“库存清单”时，本体论必做的一项工作是建构范畴体系。随着认识的发展，本体论还分化出了形式本体论这一分支。它的任务之一就是利用逻辑学成果及方法反观已有的范畴体系建构，探讨建构的方法论。随着非存在研究或有无之辩向纵深推进而出现的一个新的问题是，如果像迈农主义所说的那样，非存在对象也有其特定的“有”的地位，那么在本体论范畴体系的建构中，有无必要给予它们以适当的地位呢？如果有必要，又该如何建构？一个合格的本体论范畴体系应有助于人们从整体上、更清楚明白、更简单地把握世界，同时又不能遗漏主要的存在类别，如不能遗忘非存在，还要能如实反映不同存在在实在性程度上的差别，既不能疏忽低级的存在形式，又不能把没有存在地位的东西硬扯进来。根据这些要求，文章对本体论范畴体系建构提出了一种新的尝试。     

人类解放的终极关怀：论马克思解放论的本体论追求

解放论是马克思主义哲学中的“元问题”，其根本在于实现每个人的自由而全面发展。传统本体论表征着人类摆脱自身的无根化、追寻存在根基的终极关怀，它构成了理解解放论的终极追求的思想前提。马克思关于人类解放的思想与其本体论的演化逻辑是一致的，是在马克思劳动本体论思想的形成过程中逐步展现的。正确地认识资本逻辑运动的辩证规律，才能真正抓住马克思解放论的革命性之所在，从作为人的现实实践活动的生产劳动出发，不断超越现实的资本与劳动之间生产关系，去构建新的通往未来的共产主义的终极道路。     

Relational sociology,pragmatism, transactions and social fields

Starting from the idea that relational sociology has been founded on various and incompatible social ontologies, I argue that it is at risk of losing its raison d'être if we do not answer two fundamental practical and ontological questions: (1) Why do we need relational sociology? and (2) What do we study in relational sociology? In this respect, I propose a deep, transactional sociology partly and freely inspired by the work of J. Dewey which clearly detaches relational sociology from social determinism and co-determinism.     

Building a Human Health Risk Assessment Ontology (RsO): A Proposed Framework

Over the last decade the health and environmental research communities have made significant progress in collecting and improving access to genomic, toxicology, exposure, health, and disease data useful to health risk assessment. One of the barriers to applying these growing volumes of information in fields such as risk assessment is the lack of informatics tools to organize, curate, and evaluate thousands of journal publications and hundreds of databases to provide new insights on relationships among exposure, hazard, and disease burden. Many fields are developing ontologies as a way of organizing and analyzing large amounts of complex information from multiple scientific disciplines. Ontologies include a vocabulary of terms and concepts with defined logical relationships to each other. Building from the recently published exposure ontology and other relevant health and environmental ontologies, this article proposes an ontology for health risk assessment (RsO) that provides a structural framework for organizing risk assessment information and methods. The RsO is anchored by eight major concepts that were either identified by exploratory curations of the risk literature or the exposure‐ontology working group as key for describing the risk assessment domain. These concepts are: (1) stressor, (2) receptor, (3) outcome, (4) exposure event, (5) dose‐response approach, (6) dose‐response metric, (7) uncertainty, and (8) measure of risk. We illustrate the utility of these concepts for the RsO with example curations of published risk assessments for ionizing radiation, arsenic in drinking water, and persistent pollutants in salmon.     

The Place of Construction in Sociological Realism

In the contemporary epistemological debate on social reality, characterized by the crisis of post‐modern theories and the emergence of new forms of realism, are there any approaches not acknowledging some specific ontological character to the construction of social objects? The question is apparently rhetorical, but the implication of this problem are not obvious. In the sociological literature the opposition between reality and construction is not clearly defined. Sometimes it is considered a dichotomy, in other situations the synthesis of alternative theses in a dialectical horizon. The more systematic attempt considers reality and construction as analytical macro‐dimensions where the relation between social ontology and epistemology operates. From this stance, the acknowledgement of the role of social construction in a wider realist horizon is the true overtaking of postmodern philosophy. If it is true that facts exist beyond representations, it is also true that representations themselves have a specific effect on reality, who continually re‐structures itself around specific relations of emergent power. Stating that reality is socially constructed is an evident limit of postmodern theories. On the other hand, stating that only facts exist constitute an impoverishment of realism and its replacement in neo‐positivism. Social phenomena are real because they are based on specific properties of the inter‐subjective construction of social reality. This thesis represents the revitalization of an advanced, anti‐positivistic realism and the definition of the specificity of social objects. The aim of this essay is to search for a specific place of construction within the development of realist social ontology.     

Theorizing the social: Émile Durkheim's theory of force and energy

This paper offers a new interpretation of Émile Durkheim's The Elementary Forms of Religious Life (1912) as the basis for reconsidering the Tarde–Durkheim debate of 1903 and the distinctions between a theory of social force and a theory of social assemblage. Resisting traditional interpretations of Durkheim's scientism, this essay traces how concepts of force and energy are centrally developed in Elementary Forms to draw new lines between epistemology to ontology for twentieth-century theory. I argue that Durkheim develops an ‘energetic epistemology’ that conceives of the human capacity for shared meaning as a product of invested energy in the form of continually enacted and evolving material practice, thought, and attention. According to Durkheim, when a member of a collective perceives a god or feels belief, he or she actually perceives the accumulated energy of on-going creation and maintenance of objects and ideas by members of a collective. Sacred objects, images, and ideas bear the trace of collective energy the more they are carefully crafted, maintained in spaces that are specially arranged, and written into behavioural codes. This reading of Durkheim allows us to consider him in a lineage of social constructivists and, particularly, in relation to Ludwik Fleck, who has been largely confined to different theoretical discussions when his contributions to sociology have been acknowledged at all. By reconsidering Durkheim, we have occasion to rethink his sociology and understand how he redrew the lines between thought and action, between epistemology and ontology, through the material framework of energy and force.
