胡宏对佛教的批判及其检讨——兼论其对宋代新儒学的意义

胡宏对佛教的批判,继承传统而又超越传统.其对佛教的批判,具有理论上的完整性、思想上的深刻性和态度上的理智性等特征.其对佛教教义的把握则表现出片面性、浅显性等不足.如此便使胡宏佛教现在整体上表现出以"偏见"代替"公平"、以"此论"消解"彼论"、以"形下"要求"形上"等特征.胡宏对佛教的批判,不仅务实了儒学的厚度,也为儒学发展开辟新途做出了贡献.     

与港澳商战的幻灭——中山港无税口岸的筹建和夭折

开辟唐家湾为商埠并以之为中心筹建中山港无税口岸,是中山县被树立为全国模范县后最引人注目的建设活动。唐绍仪主持的中山县训政实施委员会之所以大张旗鼓地筹建中山港,主要动机之一就是与香港和澳门进行商战,特别以香港为假想敌。然而,因实践中面临的诸多困难,中山港无税口岸的筹建比较曲折,最终停辍,与港澳商战的幻想因此破灭,留下了深刻的历史教训。     

存在之音的聆听者——余虹教授的生死观刍议

学者余虹的死亡与他所思的根本问题与所行的精神道路紧密相关。他的自决并不仅仅是结束身体的痛苦，而是因为精神见证太多的痛苦；他的自决不仅仅是尼采式的权力意志对强者价值的简单追求，而是渴望以自身的选择见证生存需要神圣的终极关怀；他的自决也不仅仅是福柯式的在死亡与差异间形成真实的自我，而是一位学者为其灵魂的归宿找到最终的归家之途。因此，余虹是现代世界中的一位存在之音的真正聆听者。     

Impact of enforcing a statutory minimum wage on work and quality of life of vulnerable groups in Hong Kong

The statutory minimum wage (SMW) law was enforced in Hong Kong on 1 May 2011. To examine its impact, this longitudinal study measured the quality of life, job and pay satisfaction, monthly income, hourly rate and working hours of vulnerable groups (n = 253) before and after the legislation. The findings confirmed that the enforcement of the SMW induced a positive impact as intended. The introduction of the SMW induced a positive wage and employment effect on the vulnerable groups in Hong Kong without harming their employment rate. Job and pay satisfaction, as well as most domains of the quality of life (i.e., physical and psychological health, and environment), increased significantly. In general, the positive impact of the SMW was more prominent for employees who previously worked less than 18 hours a week and who had hourly rates less than 28 HKD. The implications of the findings are discussed in the social context of Hong Kong. Key Practitioner Message: ● Enforcing minimum wage induced a positive impact on quality of life, job and pay satisfaction, and a monthly income of vulnerable groups. ● The social relations (quality of life) decreased after implementing minimum wage for workers working longer than 18 hours a week. ● Longer working hours is a key factor for the increase of a monthly income among the vulnerable groups.

Family‐centered kindergarten social work services in Hong Kong: A pilot project

Social work services at schools in Hong Kong will begin a new chapter in kindergartens in 2018–2019 school year. Early childhood professionals have long considered family‐centered service delivery best practice. This paper reports a pioneer project on a family‐centered approach in kindergarten social work services in Hong Kong. The project was illustrated according to the following family‐centered principles: (a) The family as the unit of attention, (b) Linking families with community resources, (c) Flexible and individualized service provision, and (d) Creating partnerships and supportive relationships. The value and contributions of family‐centered social work services in kindergartens and implications for social work training in Hong Kong are discussed.     

Restorative justice for delinquents in Hong Kong: current practices and challenges

ABSTRACT

In Hong Kong, juvenile justice embraces mainly disciplinary welfare and rehabilitative philosophies. Various statutory measures are applied to juvenile offenders, including police cautioning, community-based treatment programmes and custodial sentencing options. However, no statutory restorative measure has yet been incorporated into the mainstream criminal justice system in Hong Kong. Several non-governmental organisations are developing innovative strategies to prevent problematic adolescents from slipping into delinquency and are willing to apply restorative practices to help delinquents desist from engaging in criminal careers. This study begins with main features of restorative justice, and it highlights the preventive and correctional services for delinquents in Hong Kong. The study also questions the explanations offered by the government for not implementing restorative justice. By comparing restorative options for juveniles in some Asian jurisdictions, the study advocates for an earlier introduction of restorative justice for the benefits of juvenile offenders.     

新管理主义时代香港社会福利领域NGO之发展

全球第三部门正处在发展的十字路口,面临转型的挑战。本文运用个案研究方法,试图探讨20世纪90年代以来新管理主义如何影响香港社会福利领域NGO的发展。研究发现,尽管新管理主义的价值观已深植于NGO领域,但不同个案机构对其影响的回应不尽相同;组织的社会倡导价值对于市场化价值的妥协在本研究中虽有体现,但如何使商界更加关注社会福利的改善正日益成为香港NGO实践其倡导价值的新关注点。     

生态文明意识中的西部小说

汤婷婷、莫里森的后现代写作风格和女性意识的比较

汤婷婷和托尼.莫里森都是20世纪后半期美国著名的少数族裔女作家,在后殖民语境下,她们从种族压迫和性别压迫的角度,在充分考虑了后现代主义的影响并整合了自身的民族文化记忆的基础上以反传统、反权威、反中心的女性叙事话语来探讨女性的自我意识和精神追求,表达了她们强烈的女性意识和民族性。她们不仅描写了女性的不幸和屈辱,更讲述了女性的抗争和希望,以及白色冲击下的无奈和觉醒。
