东方与西方之间:犹太哲学及其对中国哲学的意义

犹太哲学既不同于西方的理性主义哲学 ,也不同于中国古代的直觉主义哲学。它代表了一种新型的思维方式 ,是一条介于东方哲学与西方哲学之间的“亦东亦西”的思想之路。犹太哲学不仅在形式上利用西方哲学的理性主义思维方式来解释自己的传统 ,而且做到了在内容上与西方哲学的融合与统一。犹太哲学对中国哲学的意义在于 ,它认定了中国现代哲学发展的方向 ,表明中西哲学会通的道路是可行的 ;中国现代哲学没有做到在形式和内容两个方面与西方哲学的真正融合 ,犹太哲学为未来提供了一个可供参考的范例 ;作为一种宗教哲学 ,犹太哲学提醒未来的中国哲学应关注宗教信仰因素。

Social Work Admissions and Academic Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

ABSTRACT

The Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) protects students wth disabilities from discrimination by academic and professional programs in higher education. A student with a disability cannot be denied admission to an educational program because of his or her disability if the student is otherwise qualified. This means that a student with a disability who is qualified for an academic or professional educational program cannot be denied admission to a program based solely on the student&s disability. This educational requirement mandated by the ADA applies to all educational fields including social work education. The purpose of this study was to explore how social work programs are dealing with these requirements in their admission and academic accommodation procedures. Twelve social work programs located in the mid-western United States participated in the study. Representatives of each of these programs were given an in-depth interview focusing on their admissions process, academic accommodations, and general topics related to social work education and disabilities. All programs taking part in the research were accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE). The CSWE is the national accreditation body for social work education within the United States.     

Development of the Sexual Sensation-Seeking Scale for African American Adolescent Women

ABSTRACT

We used data derived from two independent studies to examine the psychometric properties of a new scale to measure adolescents’ willingness to engage in sexual sensation-seeking behavior. In Study 1, the Sexual Sensation-Seeking Scale for Adolescents (SSSA) was administered to a sample of 715 African American adolescents ranging in age from 15 to 21 years. The SSSA demonstrated strong internal consistency, moderate stability, and satisfactory construct validity. In Study 2, the SSSA data from a subsample of African American adolescent women detained in youth detention centers were analyzed (N = 103). Strong internal consistency was demonstrated with this sample as well. The results indicate that the SSSA is a reliable and valid measure of sexual sensation seeking for African American adolescent women.     

Relative Spousal Earnings and Marital Happiness Among African American and White Women

The distinctive economic histories of African American and White wives suggest that involvement in household income production holds contextually situated unique meanings for these groups. Yet research has not addressed racial differences in the effects of relative earnings on marital well‐being. Surveying 431 employed wives in 21 U.S. cities, we found that wife‐to‐husband income ratio and marital happiness were negatively associated when women held traditional values, but in racially distinct ways. Among White women only, a negative association between income ratio and marital happiness was reversed when financial need was reported. Findings are discussed in terms of variability in the meaning of wives’ earnings as a function of situational, historical, and sociocultural dynamics.

早期进藏的美国人

柔克义、史德文和麦戈文是三个早期进藏的美国人,活动于19世纪80年代至20世纪20年代。他们对于当时我国藏族社会生活的方方面面和汉藏两族的关系做了比较客观的记述。其中尤以后来出任美国驻华公使,参与制订美国政府对华门户开放政策的柔克义对于美国政府西藏政策的形成发挥了很大影响。本文依据汉文和英文资料对他们进行了介绍和评价。     

Beyond a Simple Case of Black and White: Searching for the White Male Effect in the African-American Community

Prior research focusing on risk perceptions has led to the observation that well‐educated and politically conservative white males tend to systematically perceive lower levels of risk from a wide range of hazards when compared to other members of society (e.g., white women, nonwhite women and men). While this “white male effect (WME)” is quite striking given that many policymakers fall into this group, a byproduct of this finding is that it deflects attention from the heterogeneity, in terms of people's concerns about risks, that exists in African‐American and other minority communities. The research reported here set out to explore this heterogeneity by asking a simple question: Can a phenomenon similar to the WME be found in the African‐American community? It can, and its implications for research and practice in risk management are discussed.
