Internet Technology in Service of Personal Health Care Management: Patient Perspective

Internet technology has become an informational resource for most health care consumers. Online information, discussion, and support groups, in the form of message boards, listservs, and chat rooms are emerging as parts of virtual self-health-care network. This paper examines the extent to which participation in online health discussion groups was reported to be helpful in increasing medical knowledge and in enhancing the participatory patient role of health care consumers in interaction with health care service professionals. Data for this study was collected from 350 patients who participated in Internet discussion groups for cancer patients. The findings of the study indicated the important impact of Internet health discussion groups on health care management practices as perceived by health care consumers, including empowerment through knowledge and proactive participation in cancer care management. This research contributes to understanding the patient perspective and assesses the perceived importance of Internet groups by health care consumers.     

Where tradition and ‘modern’ knowledge meet: exploring two Islamic schools in Singapore and Britain

Muslims live in a ‘modern’ world where subjects such as the English language, mathematics, sciences, and information and communication technology (ICT) are highly valued and enthusiastically transmitted in schools. How some Islamic schools attempt to equip their students with ‘modern knowledge’ while remaining faithful to their religious traditions is the focus of this exploratory study. Using two Islamic schools in Singapore and Britain as illustrative case studies, this paper examines their history, aims, curriculum and pedagogy in their aspiration to acquire ‘modern’ knowledge within their Islamic world views. It further explores some common challenges faced by students and teachers in both schools in their quest for a balanced curriculum. By highlighting the Islamic schools in two Muslim minority countries, this paper aims to contribute towards the international literature on how religious schools assert their cultural heritage and negotiate their learning in the modern age.

致良知与致中和——王阳明中和论思想发微

王阳明对《中庸》诸范畴多有新解,特别是在对"中"与"和"的阐释上,阳明提出了"中和一体"、"和上用功"、"良知即是未发之中"以及"致是良知而行,则所谓天下之达道也"等重要思想。阳明晚年思想归结于致良知,他用良知来诠释中和。阳明的这一良知中和观,在宋明理学中和思想的发展史上具有重要的意义。     

论马克思主义哲学传统解释中的问题与出路

马克思主义哲学的传统解释是一种知识论路径的解释，这种解释遮蔽了马克思哲学所实现的哲学思维变革的真正意蕴，只有揭示出马克思哲学的生存论路径才能深切领悟其当代性意义；传统哲学中唯物主义与唯心主义的对立是知识论哲学思维的内部对立，马克思走出了知识论的思维路径，也就走出了唯物主义与唯心主义的僵死对立；马克思“新唯物主义”的“新”，就在于它拆除了一切近代哲学出发的前提，这也正是马克思哲学与当代西方哲学在思维方式上的同质性之根本所在。

哲学的三重维度认识*

哲学研究对象的广延性凸显出形上问题的复杂。作为人类思维结晶的哲学,尽管经历了一个相互论战、竞长争高的历史过程,但就其结果而言,“哲学是什么”并未达成共识。哲学研究对象的宏大而未有定论,一方面给研究哲学的人造成了困惑,另一方面,正是由于这种未定论使得哲学充满魅力。就“哲学是什么”从以范式质疑与主题转向为表征的历史维度、以前提批判与内在反思为特性的逻辑维度和以人文关怀和终极眷顾为意义的价值维度的三重维度作一浅析,力图在整合三者的基础上给出对哲学的理解。
