Where are we when we litigiously judge? Politics and aesthetics in Hannah Arendt and Jacques Rancière

ABSTRACT

In contrast to the scenario depicted by Carl Schmitt, contemporary theory has contradicted the “thesis of differentiation” between aesthetics and “the political.” Critical theorists claimed aesthetic analysis’ relevance for grasping aspects of the political realm. And political thought took an “aesthetic turn.” Hannah Arendt and Jacques Rancière have been influential figures in this turn. Their thought offers a clear response to the challenges to the aesthetico-political Schmitt poses. To approach Arendt and Rancière’s responses, this essay proceeds in three parts. The first section analyses Arendt’s reading of the connection between aesthetics and politics. Focusing on a major shift in her perspective on judgement, I argue that her account is influenced by the ungrounded character of politics. The second section thematises the role that the relationship of aesthetics and politics has in Rancière’s work. I claim that his writings might be read as a challenge to Arendt’s attempt to “stabilise” politics by distinguishing it from the social question. Finally, the third section explicitly contrasts Arendt and Rancière’s accounts of the aesthetic-political. I conclude by arguing that their projects are crucial resources for formulating a critical theory that should resist the exceptionalist temptation to conceive “the political” as an incontestable nature.     

如何理解危险驾驶罪中的“危险”

《刑法修正案（八）》草案规定了危险驾驶罪,如何理解危险驾驶罪中的“危险”是值得研究的问题。从“危险’’的性质看来,危险驾驶罪应为具体危险犯还是抽象危险犯？从刑法的角度来看,危险驾驶罪中的“危险”如何判断？在具体分析了危险驾驶罪应为具体危险犯,并从判断基准、判断时点以及对公共危险的认识等方面分析了危险的认定方法。在此基础上,进一步探讨司法实践中对“危险”的认定方法。     

审美视野的《大秦帝国》

长篇历史小说《大秦帝国》最大的革新是精神理念上的突破,主要体现在三个方面：一,文明史观与创作理念的颠覆性和挑战性;二,文史哲交融的大文学观,将议论、历史考评文字作为小说构成要素;三,立足于新的时代新的历史起点,形成和确立了＂历史发展是文明形态的演进＂的审美判断,形象地呈现了民族文明形态演进的轨迹。作者对议论思辨、考证文字的运用,成为《大秦帝国》这一充满生命气息的有机整体的不可分割的组成部分。但有些繁多的考证文字和图示,容易冲淡跌宕起伏的故事情节给予读者的审美意味;最后的＂祭秦论＂部分,在与整部作品的情感发展逻辑的有机统一性、人物事件的连贯性与加深、提高、升华作品的历史哲学意味方面,缺乏应有的深度和高度,因而,只能作为一篇具有原创性的学术论文存在于世。     

论尼采的道德观

尼采是现代西方最具争议和最富影响的哲学家和思想家之一。在其哲学思想中,道德观占据着重要地位。纵览其道德哲学著作,可将其道德观概括为：道德怀疑主义,及在此基础上所主张建构的一种真正的美德,即能＂增强生命＂的东西。尼采的道德怀疑主义是极端错误的,道德评判标准也是不可取的。我们应坚持马克思主义的道德评判标准。     

Shape-shifter and Agenda Setter: The Influence of Emotion in Social Work Practice and Practice Education

As an interpersonal profession, operating within and between a myriad of nebulous psycho-social worlds, a significant proportion of social work’s currency resides in emotion, providing impetus for action or omission. This paper asserts that due diligence must be exercised towards emotion within social work training and practice, giving consideration to the journey towards qualification, fraught as it can be; emphasising the need to bring emotion out of the shadows and into the light. This is not simply a ‘how did that make you feel?’ task, rather one of acknowledgement and acceptance, which lends itself to an exploration of the layered interface where emotion comes into being, prodded and poked, twisted and contorted, by the powerful forces of politics, sensationalism and reductionism, which seek to orchestrate simplicity and control.     

司法中立的法理思考

指出司法权是判断权,司法是判断的过程,只有判断者的态度是中立的,才可能产生准确、公正的判断。为了保证司法公正,必须确保司法中立。文章从司法中立的内涵、必要性及其意义出发,运用法理学实证分析和价值分析的研究方法,重点从程序保障、司法权之地位、司法独立等方面阐述了如何确立司法中立的社会主义司法理念。
