Populist things. A study on the materiality of political ideas

Is there such thing as a populist thing? This article tries to answer this question by comparing two iconic populist objects: the Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap and the yellow vest. Despite their centrality to populist politics, there is remarkably little systematic examination of these objects' populist affordances, let alone a comparative study. We propose to address this lacuna by performing a pragmatic analysis of each object's role in the populist politics of the United States and France, respectively. Our comparison uncovers two findings, which, in turn, help us answer our research question. First, our study of the MAGA cap reveals how nationalism and populism can be combined into a powerful political message. Second, the yellow vest exemplifies how populism functions on its own that is, as a way of doing politics that is centred on feelings of resentment. Either in conjunction with other political phenomena (e.g., nationalism) or by itself, populism emerges from our analysis as a logic of action that involves both linguistic claims and physical objects. Things, in this reading, are surprisingly central to how populism operates.     

漫谈实用主义"实践"观

马克思主义哲学和实用主义哲学都强调实践,但实用主义的实践却是放弃终极目的,只屈服于个个事实。它的实质是理论与实践分离,把实践标准从认识论中驱逐出去。     

On the tacit side of organizational identity: Narrative unconscious and figured practice

It is a paradox of research on organizational identity formation that it cannot take place without reliance upon the expressive acts people use, yet the experience of identity cannot be reduced to such expressions. People are more than they can tell. Drawing from a study of a communication agency and building on notions of self in pragmatism, anthropology, and narrative philosophy, I identify two chief dimensions of tacit organizational identity: (1) the narrative unconscious in the stories that people live by and (2) the related figuring of formative organizational practice, in particular regarding choice of and framing of projects. In the case of organization, an episode revolving around the presentation of the ‘New Bohemian Laws’ provides a window to explore both these dimensions. Implications include a refined methodological approach to identity research. It involves acknowledging ‘feelings of identity’, attending to poetics, tuning-in to refrains and styles, and pursuing a relational subjectivity.     

乡土社会中的司法智慧

中国乡土社会存在多元的社会规范,与法律规范相比较,道德规范具有更高的权威。基于对伦理道德的推崇,司去裁判过程中法官也更为注重“斟情酌理”,实现衡平司法。与此相对应,具体的司法技术则呈现出了浓厚的实用主义色彩。注重道德教化和讲求实用这对看似矛盾的观念同时存在于中国基层的司法审判之中,帮助法官实现息讼的裁判目的。     

谈胡适小说考证中的实用主义思想

胡适是实用主义思想的忠实鼓吹者,他在小说考证中的实用主义思想表现有三：一、自觉的以小说考证为契机,意在给文人学者一把治学之门的万能钥匙;二、为“五四”新文化运动助推发力、摇旗呐喊,促进人们的思想解放和民族觉醒;三、在语言文字的“破旧立新”上以白话代文言,也是胡适实用主义思想的生动体现。     

从对实在问题的研究看本体论、认识论和语言论的统一

在西方哲学中,关于”实在”的问题是讨论最多的内容之一,可以说,关于实在问题的讨论是了解西方哲学发展的一根主线,它既是贯穿西方哲学发展的线索,又是产生新问题的基础。关于实在问题的讨论可按照西方哲学的发展阶段归纳为本体论、认识论和语言论三个方面,这三个方面的研究既有各自的侧重点,又是相辅相成、相得益彰的。而本体论、认识论和语言论的不同研究方法和所研究的不同问题,也都有内在的逻辑性,这从一个侧面说明了本体论、认识论和语言论无论作为哲学的基础理论,还是作为不同的哲学学派,都是统一的。

事实与价值的分离与融通--艾耶尔与普特南的观点与启示

艾耶尔认为,事实陈述与伦理判断之间的二元性显而易见,他试图将价值判断还原成事实陈述,认为道德判断实际是不同事实之间的归类,并诱发不同的道德态度。这种观点启发我们要在不同文化类型之间进行经验事实的互补,避免由于个别经验导致的武断、专权。普特南认为在我们许多日常的事实陈述中包含着价值语汇,事实无法外在于价值评价,对科学事实的接受就是在一些价值预设下获致的。他的观点提醒人们注意文化现象背后的价值蕴涵。

“猫论”与民族精神

邓小平的"猫论"强调行动、注重效果、提倡开拓进取,体现了求真务实、勇于创新的现实主义精神。中华民族不乏浪漫的理想、崇高的道德和玄妙的思辨,但也有诸多制约民族发展的权威、传统、习俗、教条及清规戒律。"猫论"对于我们新时期民族精神的凝聚和提升具有特殊意义。
