亚当斯密的启蒙：政治何居？

在哲人的政治构想中,政治所处的位置能够反映整个图景的内容和面貌。由于政治本身具有秩序的自觉,所以关于政治位置的思考可谓整个思想体系中最为关键、具有决定性的因素。斯密是最伟大的现代启蒙思想家之一,也是现代政治思想巨擘霍布斯的批评者。但他的启蒙采取了一种不同于古典的方式,将现代性进一步推向更深处。斯密的学说不仅照亮了社会,也照亮了人的内心。通过发现无偏旁观者机制,并以之作为整个思想体系的＂万有引力＂,斯密将政治的最高原则自天上拉入人的内心,从而使人心、道德,甚至社会成为一个自治、自为的领域,却又并未逃离政治的视野。斯密是一个系统的政治哲学家。     

Techniques for the analysis of geographic data in evaluation

Although geographic relationships are often an important aspect of a program or system under evaluation, these relationships have frequently been ignored by evaluators. Standard techniques do exist, however, for the analysis of geographic data. This paper presents three such techniques, Geocode Analysis, Trend Surface Analysis, and Social Area Analysis, and discusses their use in evaluation. With these techniques, evaluators can more adequately deal with the questions of geographic relationships which arise in many studies.

Smith's Sentiments (1759) and Wright's Passions (1601): the beginnings of sociology

Treatments of sources of Adam Smith's sociological theory of the self and associated ideas in The Theory of Moral Sentiments typically refer to classical antecedents or the work of his teacher Francis Hutcheson or his contemporary David Hume. During the seventeenth century, however, many books on the passions were published in London that arguably constitute an important but neglected source of Smith's treatment of moral sentiments. These works are largely forgotten today but at the time were widely read. They are not philosophical, partly devotional and predominantly psychological. Although Smith does not refer to these works his argument resembles theirs in many places. The importance of the seventeenth-century books on the passions, apart from their role in the history of psychology, is their bearing on contemporary economic practices. In this paper the connections between Smith and one of these books, Thomas Wright's The Passions of the Minde in Generall, are indicated.

失败的追寻:乔治·奥威尔的《1984年》解读

乔治·奥威尔的《1984年》是一部结束西方传统乌托邦小说的反乌托邦小说。主人公温斯顿对“真正的人的生活”的追寻与幻灭过程体现出奥威尔对传统乌托邦小说叙事模式的颠覆,籍此可以说《1984年》是反人文主义对人文主义的突破,是反乌托邦对乌托邦的解构。     

再论亚当·斯密“经济人”假设的价值合理性（上）

斯密的“经济人”假设是建构在“自然秩序”和理性论哲学基础之上的,是斯密“自然秩序”伦理观在经济学中的运用和证明。“经济人”假设是对人的经济行为的一般性、本质性特征的理论抽象。无论是在理论层面还是在现实生活层面,无论是在经济学视野还是在伦理学视野,“经济人”假设都有其价值合理性和局限性。“经济人是理性的”,“经济人”还要受道德、法律的双重约束。
