唐君毅论儒学的宗教性

从儒学义理内涵看，儒学具有信仰和超越性的双重内涵，儒教为“本心本性即天心天性”的天人合德之教，儒学既是一种哲学理论形态，又是“儒教”，仁心本性为一切宗教精神与信仰之根源。从祭祀礼仪制度层面看，“三祭”是具有宗教意义的活动，重对神的报恩。天地、祖先、圣贤的图像存在于现实世界的自然与历史秩序之中，可使人超越当前现实世界，又可使心灵不陷溺于对超世的想象中，实现现实世界与超现实世界在纯宗教心灵观照下的不脱节。因此唐君毅认为儒学具有宗教性，儒家的超越智慧涵盖了西方的宗教智慧。     

美国的多元宗教概述及成因分析

美国是个多元宗教并存发展的社会,整个宗教种类繁多、宗派林立。但就其源流,多属希伯来———基督教文化传统的犹太教和由基督教发展而来的天主教和新教,在这三大主流派系中,新教占主要优势。促成美国多元宗教并存发展的原因有三:美国民族多样性是客观条件,基督教思想是内在动力,而美国宪法是根本保障。     

比较宗教学视野中的本教、祆教与萨满教的宗教观念

利用比较宗教学的研究方法，从灵魂观、神灵观和神性观等三个方面对藏族本教、古波斯祆教和我国北方民族萨满教的宗教观念进行对比研究，可看出本教、祆教和萨满教在宗教观念之间的异同及三者都存在的二元论、三界观和多层天界观等文化元素。而原始宗教意义上的本教和萨满教在宗教观念上则具有更多相似点，它们后来的神灵结构也都受到了祆教的影响。     

East European assimilation and (re)integration: the interwar legacies of transatlantic migration and “Russian” Orthodox conversion (1918–1939)

In the 1920s and 30s, mass conversion movements to “Russian” Orthodoxy emerged among Greek Catholics in Czechoslovakia and Poland, comprising a new chapter in a continuing saga of conversion which began in the late nineteenth century, in what was then Austria–Hungary. Pre-1914 conversion movements arose in large part due to transatlantic migration – especially return migration – between Austria–Hungary and the Americas. Americanists have generally treated the 1920s and 30s as the era when transnational migration’s impact waned owing to US immigration restrictions, while East Europeanists have minimized or ignored the impact of transnational migration upon East European regions. Interwar Catholic-to-Orthodox conversions, however, are not merely attributable to historical legacy: transatlantic migration continued to influence the dynamics of conversion as an active, contemporary force. As had been true prior to World War I, returning migrants and their families comprised the most significant constituency of the movements after the war; migrants remaining in the Americas supported the East European movements with economic and social remittances, and activists on either side of the Orthodox/Catholic divide treated the conversions as transnational phenomena. This essay analyzes the impact of transnational migration upon shifting ethnoreligious identifications, in the context of shifting social, national, and geopolitical circumstances, 1918–1939.     

西安地区宗教文化资源优势及其开发

西安是历史文化名城,具有深厚的文化积淀,特别是宗教文化资源占绝对优势,集佛教、道教、基督教、天主教、伊斯兰教五大宗教为一体,其中的慈恩寺(大雁塔)、荐福寺(小雁塔)、大兴善寺、青龙寺、兴教寺、大小清真寺、北堂(天主教堂)、八仙庵、楼观台、法门寺等宗教人文景观,以其等级高、历史悠久,不仅在中国宗教史上,而且在世界宗教史上,都占有崇高的地位。充分利用这些优势并进行有节有序的开发,对推动西安旅游经济的迅速发展具有十分重要的意义。

继承与发展：历史地理学的学科属性再认识

对历史地理学学科属性的认识有四种观点:属于历史学、属于地理学、是边缘学科、是独立的综合性学科。历史地理学学科属性是在继承前人研究成果的基础之上不断发展的,其目前的发展趋势是独立的综合性学科,主要表现在两个方面:时空结合的理念和人地关系的研究切入点。因此,历史地理学在思维方法、研究手段、思维理念等方面与历史学和地理学都不相同。当然,历史地理学能否成为独立的综合学科,还取决于其研究成果和研究实力等因素。     

Everyday mobilities and the construction of subjective spiritual geographies in ‘Non-places’

Traditional geographic approaches depict sacred spaces, religion and spirituality as places of stillness and tranquillity, this paper challenges such fixity and instead uses the mobilities lens to analyse the dynamic and fluid nature of contemporary spirituality. It builds on recent work that draws on mobilities and geographies of religion by shifting focus away from the extraordinary journeys of pilgrimage to the ordinary, the mundane and everyday routines and movements; trips for economic, recreational or utilitarian purposes. The findings illustrate the activities that people do when they are on the move that can be related to their personal sense of spirituality and the ways in which religion interweaves in the movements and routines of everyday life and mobilities – from the radio playing in the car to the use of meditation. Often, activities became associated with specific parts of the journey and are threaded together to form ‘subjective spiritual geographies’ and significant elements of individual spirituality challenging secular pre-conceptions of mobilities time-spaces and characterisation of ‘non-places’.     

Social Contagion and General Diffusion Models of Adolescent Religious Transitions: A Tutorial,and EMOSA Applications

Epidemic Models of the Onset of Social Activities (EMOSA) describe behaviors that spread through social networks. Two social influence methods are represented, social contagion (one-to-one spread) and general diffusion (spread through cultural channels). Past models explain problem behaviors—smoking, drinking, sexuality, and delinquency. We provide review, and a tutorial (including examples). Following, we present new EMOSA models explaining changes in adolescent and young adult religious participation. We fit the model to 10 years of data from the 1997 U.S. National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. Innovations include a three-stage bi-directional model, Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation, graphical innovations, and empirical validation. General diffusion dominated rapid reduction in church attendance during adolescence; both diffusion and social contagion explained church attendance stability in early adulthood.     

Trade options for a small open economy: The different impact of Taiwan exports to China and to other countries

This study aims to explore advantageous trade arrangements for a small open economy. To discover the arrangement, the fundamental question to ask is how trade affects a small economy. Due to the differential factor mobility, the two main streams of trade theory—new economic geography and comparative advantage—make divergent predictions of trade effects. This study identifies the differences in factor mobility and distinguishes the differential impacts of exports to China and other countries on Taiwan’s manufacturing clusters. Using Taiwan’s 2006 and 2011 census data and trade statistics, this study applies the two-stage least squares method to test the differential impacts. The findings reveal that the growth in Taiwan’s exports to other countries significantly increased the employment level of manufacturing clusters in Taiwan. However, such effects have not been found for exports to China. The lack of response in Taiwan’s local employment to exports to China can be inferred as a short-term exhibition of the long-run core-periphery effect. The policy implication of this study is that trade involving low factor mobility is more beneficial than that involving high factor mobility for a small open economy. Thus, for a small economy, trade liberalization that will ‘not’ attract large factor outflows from the small economy is more desirable.
