再论科技进步与社会发展之间的非线性关系

流行的观点认为,科技进步与社会发展二者之间具有相互肯定的对应关系,即社会发展的历史就是科技进步的历史,科技进步必然导致社会发展,科技越进步,社会越发展,科技每前进一步,社会就相应地发展一步。本文通过对传统的社会发展理念与科技进步的负面效应进行分析,批判了这种对社会发展与科技进步二者之间的关系只作线性把握的局限,指出在科技进步与社会发展之间存在着极其复杂的非线性关系。     

我国当前人民内部矛盾社会调控滞后的思考

目前在人民内部矛盾的社会调控方面存在着滞后的现状,有可能导致人民内部矛盾的尖锐化、对抗化。我们应该重视这个问题,从发展经济、改进工作、加强干部队伍建设、完善社会保障制度、把法治和德治紧密结合起来等多方面入手,对人民内部矛盾进行有效的社会调控。     

金文中的女性享祭者及其社会地位

以金文中女性享祭情况与男性享祭情况的对比为纬,考查女性享祭者礼遇高低的量化相对值;以不同时期女性享祭情况的发展变化为经,考查女性享祭者礼遇变化的量化绝对值,揭示出殷周社会对女性享祭者的尊崇逐渐减弱的事实,证明殷周女性社会地位极其低微并逐步下降的观点。     

内部人控制与公司治理结构的失效——基于转轨时期我国国有公司治理结构失效的特殊原因剖析

我国国有公司治理结构主要存在内部人控制 ,股东会和监事会形同虚设 ,董事会不能有效行使决策权 ,监督机制失效和激励机制不足等问题。导致这些问题产生的原因除发达市场经济国家所具有的一般原因外 ,更主要的是我国经济转轨过程中的股权结构不合理 ,缺乏现代公司治理观念以及政府对企业在行政上的“超强控制”和在产权上的“超弱控制”等特殊原因     

论哲学社会科学在国家知识创新体系中的地位和作用

从邓小平同志“科学技术是第一生产力”出发 ,到江泽民同志进而提出了“创新动力论”,并筹划建立完善当代中国“国家知识创新体系”,说明我国的国家知识创新体系不仅面对着大量的自然科技新问题 ,而且面对着一系列哲学社会科学新问题 ,亟待创新解决。江泽民同志最近的三次讲话表明 ,当代中国哲学社会科学在解决这些新问题中的创新功能 ,是不可替代的 ,它构成了中国知识创新体系的难以或缺的主导子系统。     

认识你自己:人是什么?

人是什么 ,这是人类思想史上的一个古老话题 ,中外哲学家们都从各自偏好的方面发现了人的本质力量的重要方面。马克思总结中外哲学家的思想 ,提出人的本质并不是单个人所固有的抽象物 ,应该到人的现实存在方式——社会实践中去找寻 ,实践才是人的一切本质力量的源泉和基础 ,人则是实践的主体 ,因而人是通过实践改造世界、改造自己的社会关系及其规范 ,同时改造自身的有理性、有目的的具有主动性和创造性的社会主体     

Can we remember differently? A case study of the new culture of memory in voluntary organisations

This article analyses the positive contribution that Slovenian voluntary, non–governmental organisations, users' organisations and community–based services in the field of mental health have made to the 'new culture of memory' of helpers and users. The conceptual differences between Slovenian psychiatric (institutional) treatment and voluntary community care are presented through the case study of Clare, a young woman who was diagnosed as a chronic schizophrenic. This example shows the importance of community care in voluntary organisations for the reduction of disability associated with mental disorders. The development of the new culture of memory in voluntary organisations and community–based services is not only the 'narrative turn' within social welfare, but also symbolises the 'implicit turn' in the relationship between the helper and the user. The real challenge of the new culture of memory in the process of help to disabled people (in respect of individuals working through traumatic memories) is that the helper can bear and support the user on a daily basis. During the process of their relationship, the deep implicit relational memories of both become activated and influence the change within the user as well as the helper.     

Empathy and professional attitude in social workers and non-trained aides

The purpose of this study was to investigate empathic communication and professional attitude in vocational groups representing different levels of professional training. A further aim was to elucidate some aspects of the impact of the clients. Four groups of professionals participated, three with degrees as social workers and one with only short professional training. Three groups worked with committed drug addicts, one group with somatically ill patients. The 110 subjects were tested with a video-test of professional attitude and empathic communication. Different response patterns were found in the different groups. The group with short training had the highest proportion of unprofessional responses. The group of social workers working with somatically ill patients showed the highest amount of empathic communication. Furthermore, there was a distinction among the kind of unprofessional responses used by the different groups. Hypotheses on the causes of these differences and implications for future research are discussed.     

Medicine on the line? Computer‐mediated social support and advice for people with diabetes

The advent of thousands of Usenet groups on the Internet, covering a vast range of medical and welfare issues and ostensibly devoted to the mutual social support of participating members, has raised the potential for the development of new forms of 'virtual' health care. This article critically analyses the use by people with diabetes of one such Usenet group. It seeks to establish, first, the extent to which such a site provides some demonstrable measure of social support to its participants. This is approached by undertaking a structural analysis of the site to identify the extent of usage, and the nature of supporting interventions using a fivefold classification (instrumental, informational, esteem and social companionship and other). Second, the article attempts to identify any disparity between the lay health-knowledge in evidence and biomedical opinions proffered by the use of a panel of consultant diabetiologists. The results of the analysis suggest that the diabetes newsgroup provides an example of an active forum for largely well-informed participants who routinely use the media as an aid to the reflexive management of their medical condition. It also raises the prospect of a renegotiated relationship between medical knowledge and lay experience based upon shared learning
