马丁·布伯对"天人合一"的解读及其启示

犹太人哲学是最早以完整形态的宗教传统和西方哲学相遇,并在相互的冲突和对话中发展出自己的哲学形态,从而成为后来东西方哲学会通的范例。当代犹太宗教哲学家马丁·布伯从相遇哲学的视角解读中国传统哲学的“天人合一”思想,这对中国传统哲学迈向现代化之路有积极的启示作用。     

启蒙的现代传承、化生与超越——以瓦尔泽、格拉斯、哈贝马斯等为中心

本文凸显西方元思维的"逻各斯—秘索思"结构,强调德国思想史的"启蒙思脉—浪漫思脉"二元对立。同时选择作为德国知识精英代表的瓦尔泽、格拉斯、哈贝马斯,对其"文学话语—哲学话语"对话结构进行梳理,既凸显其为20世纪后期精英难以回避的"战争背景",同时也揭示他们面对历史浩劫与民族重生勇于承担的"智识勇气"和"创辟实绩"。最后,仍归结为一个基本追问,就是在至今为止的20世纪后半期的西方思想史进程中,虽然名家辈出,但并未能为人类发展提供明显亮色,以及德国学术、思想难得强势的事实,并追问其原因所在。同时引入中国文化传统的《易经》思维,尤其是凸显"一分为三"之原则,强调"启蒙调试"作为一个重要的"黄金分割点",使西方二元论思维获得一个立足于三的支撑点。如此,则格拉斯尝试以浪漫的手法来坚持启蒙的目标、瓦尔泽以浪漫的手段来调试启蒙的不足,都有其合理之处,相比较哲学话语系统的哈贝马斯对启蒙传统的"执善固执",则更显出文学话语的灵活性与诗性创发对于思想史发展的特殊意义。     

A statistical social network model for consumption data in trophic food webs

We adapt existing statistical modeling techniques for social networks to study consumption data observed in trophic food webs. These data describe the feeding volume (non-negative) among organisms grouped into nodes, called trophic species, that form the food web. Model complexity arises due to the extensive amount of zeros in the data, as each node in the web is predator/prey to only a small number of other trophic species. Many of the zeros are regarded as structural (non-random) in the context of feeding behavior. The presence of basal prey and top predator nodes (those who never consume and those who are never consumed, with probability 1) creates additional complexity to the statistical modeling. We develop a special statistical social network model to account for such network features. The model is applied to two empirical food webs; focus is on the web for which the population size of seals is of concern to various commercial fisheries.     

Martin K. Starr: A Visionary Proponent for System Integration,Modular Production,and Catastrophe Avoidance

Martin K. Starr facilitated the creation of an identity for production and operations management (POM) as an academic discipline. This paper aims to summarize Starr's substantial contributions to scholarly inquiry on system integration and interfunctional coordination, modular production, and catastrophe avoidance. Even after four decades, we describe how his legacy in these areas continues to define several major drivers of operations and supply chain management research and practice. Starr has influenced several generations of students, professors, and executives with his writings, teaching, and leadership roles in the POM community that include 32 years on the faculty of the Columbia School of Business, 15 years as Editor‐in‐Chief of Management Science, and presidency of the Production and Operations Management Society.
