On Ethnic Groups and the Politics of Ethnicity in Taiwan

在台湾, "族群"(ethnic group)一词初用于民族学界对原住民的研究。随着台湾政治格局的变化和民进党的建立,"族群"一词进入政治生活领域,并在后现代"差异政治"和"认同政治"的交互作用下,成为"台独"势力依托"省籍矛盾"、构建"政治族群"的"文化"工具,在"国家认同"层面和"统独争议"之中发挥着"族群政治"的分化作用。     

Independence and Self-Consciousness of Chinese Philosophy:On the Rewriting of the History of Chinese Philosophy

重写中国哲学史必须从哲学的一般意义和中国哲学的特殊性出发,积极开发中国哲学特有的问题域,阐明它与时代的互动关系,特别要突出中国哲学的根本特征棗实践哲学的意义。就中国传统哲学特征而言,实践哲学远比心性之学更具有解释力和现实性。近代中西文化全面而深刻的交流接触使得原教旨主义的中国哲学史根本不可能。在撰写中国哲学史时,利用西方哲学的某些资源不但是不可避免的,也是合理的。即便如此,在使用西方哲学观念解释中国哲学时仍要谨慎,概念不是纯粹的形式。正因为如此,建构中国哲学自己的概念体系是未来中国哲学史的题中应有之义;而内在批判和释义学阐发则是新的中国哲学史的基本方法论原则。

On the Politics and Participation in the Development of Urban Communities in China

本文对２０世纪９０年代以来中国城市普遍开展的社区建设的性质进行了分析,指出城市社区建设在社会组织方式和社会管理模式转换中的作用,认为城市社区建设是一个复杂的经济、政治和社会过程。文章分析了经济因素对社区建设的重要意义,认为社区建设需要经济的支持,但社区服务所产生的经济收益并不能有效地支持社区建设的开展,政府和企业应该对之给予更多投入。社区建设有丰富的政治内涵。政府力图通过社区建设实现社会管理体制的转变,同时又要保持社会的稳定。由于中国的市民社会发育缓慢,因此,社区建设的政治目标的实现面临着挑战。文章认为社区建设的重要目的是形成新的社会团结,而广泛的社区参与是不可忽略的环节。     

On the Character of Universality:A Comparative Study on the Mor-phology of the Traditional Phi-losophies of China and the West

Since the era of Plato and Aristotle,Western philosophy has defined the pursuitof universal knowledge as its final goal, lead-ing to the rise of the absolute concept ofuniversality and the world of absolute prin-ciples composed of universal concepts. Tra-ditional philosophy in the West is a learningin search of universal knowledge while thehighest aim for traditional Chinese philoso-phy is to acquire the realm of Tao.

On the “criterion” of proof in capital cases and the revision of the Criminal Procedure Law

解决死刑案件质量问题,首先应保障死刑案件的实体公正,即案件的事实和证据 不至于存在问题。而在保障死刑案件的事实和证据无质量问题中,首先需要考虑的是 不会发生不可挽回的错误,同时,还需要防止发生不可饶恕的错误。为此,我们必须 达到可以判处死刑的“证明标准”即证明要求。由于证明要求的实现应当以完善的程 序作为保障,因此,中国的刑事诉讼法需要对死刑案件的相关程序予以进一步完善。

关键词: 死刑?案件质量?实体公正?证明标准?程序

To guarantee quality in capital cases, the first essential is to ensure substantive justice, which means that there must be no problems with regard to the facts and evidence in the case. In ensuring that there is no qualitative problem with either the facts or the evidence in capital cases, the first consideration is that there should be no chance of an irretrievable error. At the same time, it is necessary to forestall any unforgivable miscarriages of justice. To do this, it is necessary to meet the “criterion of proof” for imposing a death sentence, that is, the requirements for proof. As the requirements for proof can only be guaranteed by adequate procedures, China's Criminal Procedure Law needs to improve its handling of procedures relating to capital cases.     

On the Favorable Allocation of Rights

中国的公权机构近年来基于保护弱势群体的考虑,往往通过权利倾斜性配置方式对交易一方的私权进行额外规制或过度保护,但却会带来不少负面后果。而这多源于公权机构对自身能力的过度自信以及对私权主体行为复杂性的认识不足。本文认为公权机构只有在考虑到交易双方特定情形下的利益关联度、利益受损者的对策行为、受益人及潜在受益人的道德风险、对特定行业的影响、干预者的能力限度与干预困境等因素时,才能做出正确的权利倾斜性配置决策。
