《易经》哲学思想的混沌性刍议

关于《易经》(《周易》本文部分)哲学思想的性质究竟是唯物的还是唯心的问题,历来有不同的看法。本文认为,《易经》的哲学思想是呈混沌状态的,其性质就是混沌性。这种混沌性表现为唯心主义和唯物主义并存、唯物主义和唯心主义成分的互相渗透。认识《易经》哲学思想的混沌性,决不是搞折中调和,这种混沌实际上代表了人类早期认识的特征,是反映论在人类认识初始阶段的客观表现。

宗喀巴《密宗道次第广论》的哲学思想探析

宗喀巴指出,佛陀所创正法,唯在于“教”“证”两种,“教”是指佛教教理,“证”为修道中的证悟。宗喀巴《密宗道次第广论》具有鲜明的“教”与“证”相结合的特色。此著在“教”方面体现为本体论、佛性论、人生论、道德论、方法论等哲学思想,贯穿于《密宗道次第广论》的哲学主线是中观应成派一切诸法缘起性空论。通过灌顶、诵咒、观想及借助坛城、法器等修各种瑜伽,以亲证或体现这些哲学思想。诸如此类的哲学思想是《密宗道次第广论》所论述的各种修行实践的深刻内涵,而各种修行实践是其外在表现形式。     

概念迁移视阈下基于语料库的非英语专业学习者动名词搭配错误研究

文章拟从概念迁移视角研究大学英语写作中的动-名词搭配错误,研究采用语料库定量与定性相结合的分析方法。语料取材于中国学习者英语语料库（CLEC）,包括大学英语低年级学习者（St3）和高年级学习者（St4）两个子语料库。利用检索工具Ant Conc3.58检索中国学习者作文中的动-名词搭配错误,从而对大学生英语写作中的动-名词搭配错误进行描述与分类,进而分析造成大学生英语写作动-名词搭配误用的潜在原因,并对现有大学英语教学做出反思。     

Alternative estimation methods for identifying contagion effects in dynamic social networks: A latent-space adjusted approach

Contagion effects, also known as peer effects or social influence process, have become more and more central to social science, especially with the availability of longitudinal social network data. However, contagion effects are usually difficult to identify, as they are often entangled with other factors, such as homophily in the selection process, the individual’s preference for the same social settings, etc. Methods currently available either do not solve these problems or require strong assumptions. Following Shalizi and Thomas (2011), I frame this difficulty as an omitted variable bias problem, and I propose several alternative estimation methods that have potentials to correctly identify contagion effects when there is an unobserved trait that co-determines the influence and the selection. The Monte-Carlo simulation results suggest that a latent-space adjusted estimator is especially promising. It outperforms other estimators that are traditionally used to deal with the unobserved variables, including a structural equation based estimator and an instrumental variable estimator.     

Deliberative democracy in the real world,the contribution of the capability approach

ABSTRACT

Drawing on Amartya Sen’s writings, this article presents the capability approach to democracy and shows its relevance for the sociological reflection and research on democratic processes conceived as ways to convert individual preferences into collective norms or decisions. Two moments are key in this respect: the formation of individual preferences and their translation into collective norms in the course of public debates. The initial sections present Sen’s conception of democracy, particularly emphasizing its articulation with the notions of ‘positional objectivity’ and ‘conversion’. Then, this conception is compared with two other mechanisms that may be used to coordinate individual decisions or preferences, namely the market and idealistic views on deliberative democracy. The article emphasizes how the capability approach departs from these two conceptions with regard to the two key concepts of capacity to aspire and capability for voice. The final section shows how Sen’s notion of democracy may open up a new field for research, namely the sociological investigation of the informational (or knowledge) basis of democracy.     

Focusing on Focusing Events: Event Selection,Media Coverage,and the Dynamics of Contentious Meaning‐Making

Despite the prevalent assumption among scholars of social movements and contentious politics that transformative contentious events are also the focus of public attention and discussion, there has been little attempt to substantiate this. After making a case for why to focus on focusing events and suggesting that these events should be thought of as products of a dialogical contentious meaning‐making process, we develop a coverage attribute‐based method for identifying focusing events. For illustrative purposes, we apply our method to the coverage of contentious events during the “first” intifada by Israeli‐Jewish, Jewish settler, and Palestinian newspapers. Findings from analyses of 11,868 news items reveal that newspapers are likely to strategically quiet contentious events that are strategically amplified by newspapers affiliated with opposing or targeted parties, and vice versa, depending on their interpretation of these events as political opportunities or threats. Analyses of variations across and within contending parties reveal the role of structure and agency in the dialogical seesaw‐like dynamics of contentious meaning‐making.     

关于精神文化产品的哲学思考

精神文化产品是以观念形态存在并以一定的物质为载体得以呈现的产品,是精神文化生产者劳动智慧的结晶。社会效益为精神文化产品创作生产导向,经济效益是讲求社会效益的基础。弘扬主旋律,提倡多样化,是把握先进文化的前进方向,发展社会主义文化的根本要求和指导原则,也是指导精神文化产品创作和生产的根本要求和指导原则。精神文化产品的创作生产要坚持先进文化的大众性与文化精品的贴近性的结合。精神文化产品消费是较高层次上的商品消费活动,是商品消费与精神享受的辩证统一。
