五四小说语言：从工具性到本体性

从强调白话的实用意义到关注白话的美学品格,从工具层面的思想传输,到本体层面的价值呈现,五四小说语言的变革不再是被动选择,正逐步向语言的本质靠近,从而直接亲近了时代,亲近了大众,亲近了生活的原生态感受.五四小说开创了从工具性到本体性的新的语言之道,但也存在误区.这一历史进程还有很大的研究空间,深入考察不仅是论题的需要,对于今天再造文学语言的诗性辉煌也不无裨益.     

朱子学与日本近世儒学的一元论倾向

儒学自传入日本后一直从属于神道或佛教思想,没有获得独立的地位。至江户时代,朱子学才因其思想本身固有的政治功用性而得到德川幕府的扶持,在江户日本迅速兴起并形成了诸多派别。同一时期日本还出现了阳明学、古学等与朱子学对抗的思潮。日本的朱子学各派在本体论上大都继承了朱熹"理先气后"的"主理"倾向,而反朱子学则或是坚持"气一元"论或是坚持以"心"为本体的哲学立场。整体来看,日本近世儒学各派在本体论思想上都体现了继承自宋明理学中源自佛、道的重视整体、具有内在超越性的一元论倾向。这一特征在之后的明治时期同德国观念论结合在一起形成了日本哲学的唯心主义传统。     

Building a Human Health Risk Assessment Ontology (RsO): A Proposed Framework

Over the last decade the health and environmental research communities have made significant progress in collecting and improving access to genomic, toxicology, exposure, health, and disease data useful to health risk assessment. One of the barriers to applying these growing volumes of information in fields such as risk assessment is the lack of informatics tools to organize, curate, and evaluate thousands of journal publications and hundreds of databases to provide new insights on relationships among exposure, hazard, and disease burden. Many fields are developing ontologies as a way of organizing and analyzing large amounts of complex information from multiple scientific disciplines. Ontologies include a vocabulary of terms and concepts with defined logical relationships to each other. Building from the recently published exposure ontology and other relevant health and environmental ontologies, this article proposes an ontology for health risk assessment (RsO) that provides a structural framework for organizing risk assessment information and methods. The RsO is anchored by eight major concepts that were either identified by exploratory curations of the risk literature or the exposure‐ontology working group as key for describing the risk assessment domain. These concepts are: (1) stressor, (2) receptor, (3) outcome, (4) exposure event, (5) dose‐response approach, (6) dose‐response metric, (7) uncertainty, and (8) measure of risk. We illustrate the utility of these concepts for the RsO with example curations of published risk assessments for ionizing radiation, arsenic in drinking water, and persistent pollutants in salmon.     

The Interview for Decisional Abilities (IDA): a tool to assess the decisional capacity of abused and neglected older adults

We present the Interview for Decisional Abilities (IDA), a semi-structured tool for use by adult protective services (APS) workers as part of their comprehensive assessments of clients. The IDA was created in response to a Federal mandate to standardize the procedures and competencies of APS agencies with a view to improving client assessments and facilitating cross-jurisdictional research on adult mistreatment. The proximal aim of the IDA is to guide workers in gathering information on the ability of suspected victims of adult mistreatment to make decisions about the risks they face.     

Was Cicourel’s critique in Methods and Measurement in Sociology too radical?

This article is a contribution to a mini symposium on the 50th anniversary of the publication of A V Cicourel’s Method and Measurement in Sociology (1964). The central theme of the book is reviewed – the problem of the relationship between everyday language and cultural meanings, and the language of measurement in social research – and the lack of an adequate ontology of social actors is identified as being the cause of the problem. The solution offered by Alfred Schütz – that social scientific language should be derived from everyday language – is discussed and it is argued that this was probably too radical at the time the book was published, and is still generally neglected in the social sciences.     

The Place of Construction in Sociological Realism

In the contemporary epistemological debate on social reality, characterized by the crisis of post‐modern theories and the emergence of new forms of realism, are there any approaches not acknowledging some specific ontological character to the construction of social objects? The question is apparently rhetorical, but the implication of this problem are not obvious. In the sociological literature the opposition between reality and construction is not clearly defined. Sometimes it is considered a dichotomy, in other situations the synthesis of alternative theses in a dialectical horizon. The more systematic attempt considers reality and construction as analytical macro‐dimensions where the relation between social ontology and epistemology operates. From this stance, the acknowledgement of the role of social construction in a wider realist horizon is the true overtaking of postmodern philosophy. If it is true that facts exist beyond representations, it is also true that representations themselves have a specific effect on reality, who continually re‐structures itself around specific relations of emergent power. Stating that reality is socially constructed is an evident limit of postmodern theories. On the other hand, stating that only facts exist constitute an impoverishment of realism and its replacement in neo‐positivism. Social phenomena are real because they are based on specific properties of the inter‐subjective construction of social reality. This thesis represents the revitalization of an advanced, anti‐positivistic realism and the definition of the specificity of social objects. The aim of this essay is to search for a specific place of construction within the development of realist social ontology.

从“同出而异名”角度解读老子的“圣人与百姓”思想

在《老子》传统的解读中,并没有将圣人和百姓放在对等的立场上,而忽视百姓的存在。事实上在老子的思想里,圣人和百姓是没有优劣之分的,二者都是推动"道"正常运动的力量,缺一不可,只是圣人和百姓在道的运动过程中扮演着不同角色。正是因为二者的共存,道才显现出既幽远深邃又生机盎然的特征。圣人和百姓作为两种不同的生命存在方式,共同维持着"宇宙—生命"系统的通塞平衡。     

后现代语境下的言意关系--基于语言哲学的视角

语言能够表达人的思维、情感、意志,但是语言往往又不能准确传达人的所思所想和内心体验。在以语言游戏为主要方式的后现代语境下,语言由工具转变为主体,语言本身即是意义,或是消解了意义。然而语言游戏消解的只是一般的、严肃的意义,却转向了特殊的、鄙俗的意义。语言游戏虽然致力于语言技巧的探索,但“言不尽意”的矛盾仍未能得到根本解决。     

悖论与"自指"

悖论的构成与我们对某些语句可以自我指称的认定密切相关.认为某个语句可以自指,这是一回事,但事实上这个语句是否可能自指,则是另一回事;而语句自指事实上是不可能的.由此,便会获得对悖论的一种根本不同的理解.
