论唐君毅的“文化保守主义”

伴随现代化发展而产生的文化保守主义,并非中国独有,而是一个广泛、深刻的世界性文化现象。文章集中论述现代新儒家唐君毅痛心中国文化“花果飘零”的情状,以忧患的情感重申文化保守的真义——它来自我们对本身生命所依据的文化本源及其价值的深度自觉,并破斥了跟随时势而起的进步假象。唐君毅的文化保守立场,引来不少批评及反驳,文章对此逐一检讨,阐明唐君毅的主张：道德理性可统摄、补充西方自由和平等观念的不足。     

德国文化对德国社会保障制度的影响研究

文化因素是影响社会保障制度建立与发展的重要方面,德国的位序文化和保守主义文化决定了德国选择组合模式的社会保障制度。同时,德国的天主教也接受阶层差异,其“补缺性”原则也影响着德国的福利制度。因此,德国社会保障制度的改革需要考虑文化因素的影响。     

PERFORMING VIRTUAL WHITENESS: GEORGE GILDER'S TECHNO-THEOCRACY

Over the past twenty years, US conservatism has achieved a dominance by symbolically reconciling two historical strains that are, in reality, marked by contradictions: the social gospel of traditional values and the economic gospel of the free market. While this movement has often been characterized as irrational because of its emotional language, in fact, conservative activists were brilliantly rational in their deployment of a symbolic logic organized by the metaphor of Spirit. Drawing on resources already available from the history of religion in the USA, Spirit was also directly reconnected with the imperialist Spirit of Enterprise. But though its terms are drawn from nineteenth-century white supremacist hierarchies, this constellation is resolutely postmodern in its use of media and technology; as a result, whiteness is displayed so overtly that it has become all the more difficult to counter precisely because of that display. This essay will show how white masculinity has been translated into the language of the digitalized frontier by the cyberspace guru, George Gilder, who hails from an old New England family but reconnects the North to a strong Southern theocratic belief in the natural law of God and the markets. Next, the essay analyses a talk by George Will, in which white supremacy comes to be defined as meritocracy in a rebuttal to Toni Morrison. And finally, the display of whiteness will be analysed in terms of appearances on cable TV talk shows of The Blondes: the right-wing political commentators Laura Ingraham, Kellyanne Fitzpatrick, Ann Coulter and the late Barbara Olson.     

当代中国文化保守主义思潮评析

当代中国文化保守主义思潮从一个侧面表征了中国文化的现代开展从注重"破"到注重"立"之转变的整体自觉,其兴起有其内在的必然性。其积极意义主要有:第一,它有助于在当代中国的文化建设中,进一步增强民族文化的主体性,更好地以我为主地吸收以西方文化为代表的外来文化;第二,它有利于营造一个更为全面、深刻地认识中国文化,更好地批判继承中国文化优良传统的社会性文化氛围;第三,它体现了必须集中全人类多民族的智慧资源以解决"地球村"所面对的共同问题的时代要求。其不足之处表现在:第一,偏狭的文化心态;第二,独断论和一元主义文化观;第三,理论建构尚需进一步加强。
