《儒家伦理新批判之批判》序言

关于孝道,关于孔子所说的＂父为子隐,子为父隐,直在其中矣＂的理解,可谓见仁见智。不过在民国以前与民国时期,学界与民间社会大体有比较平实的看法。蔡元培先生为国民修身进德而编写的《中学修身教科书》,在上篇家庭章等章节中,对此说得非常清楚。     

變味的批判 回應郭齐勇《儒家伦理新批判之批判·序言》

一 拙著《儒家伦理新批判》由重庆大学出版社出版后,引起了儒生们一片哗然,几乎人人都在摩拳擦掌,其实大可不必。因为当初我邀约诸位辩友将这些论战文章集结为一本＂争鸣集＂时,是他们个个都表示坚决不同意的。     

儒家感恩精神与仁孝伦理——以关学宗师张载的总结为例

一年一度的清明节和公祭中华始祖黄帝典礼,是中国政府和海内外华人共同关注的大事,具有丰厚的历史文化内涵,我们可以从中提炼出一条由五个环节构成的“文化链”：清明祭祖、礼仪模式、感恩精神、仁孝伦理和敬畏天地。     

原始宗教及其艺术的历史定位——再论原始宗教及其艺术的形成与演进

原始宗教与人为宗教的本质区别在于对人、社会、自然的态度上。原始人在生产力相当落后的条件下 ,凭借自己特有的想象力 ,创造出代表自己意志和力量的神们 ,这些神们是原始人本质力量的对象化。因而原始宗教是原始人征服自然、改造自然的生产力。原始宗教与科技源于一体。原始宗教艺术是原始宗教活动的重要形式 ,是原始宗教精神的重要载体。我们从大量散落在史册里和迄今活跃在一些土著居民中的诗歌、神话中可以透析出原始宗教及其艺术的生产力作用来     

再论“李评本”与《西游证道书》评点的宗教归属问题

当前学界对《西游记》评点本研究中的宗教归属问题表现出两种倾向:一为随意化;一为极端化。有鉴于此,本文选取《李卓吾先生批评西游记》、《西游证道书》为研究对象,从评点内容本身入手,比较二书在主旨阐释、劝世导向、艺术鉴赏等方面的异同,从而归纳二书评点的立足点,并就当前学界存在的不足进行学理层面的反思。     

论《桃花源记》与儒家王道的关系

陶渊明,浔阳柴桑人,东晋著名文学家、哲学家.《桃花源记》并诗表现了陶渊明的社会理想. 关于桃源理想的形成,有神仙说、小国寡民说及实地说等.魏晋以来,隐逸之风渐盛,神仙家言增多,颇道山中之事.《桃花源记》文末言及"刘子骥",《晋书·隐逸传》载其事迹:"好游山泽,志存遁逸.言采药至衡山,深入忘返.见有一涧水,山南有二石囷,一囷闭,一囷开,水深广不得过.欲还,失道,遇伐木人,问径,仅得还家.     

“孝为戒之先”:佛教伦理的现实升华——从圆悟克勤二回成都昭觉寺说起

诞生和成长于印度社会思想文化背景之下的佛教伦理思想,其孝道观契合了中国传统孝道伦理思想,从而形成了极具中国特色的佛教伦理思想。尤以宋代禅僧契嵩以传统儒家的"五常"来比附自身的"五戒",并提出"孝为戒之先"的观点,而极大地提升了孝在佛教教义思想中的地位,并对后世产生了巨大的影响。因此,如果说"孝为戒之先"是为中国佛教伦理思想的理论基础的话,那么,同为宋代禅僧的圆悟克勤之二回成都昭觉寺弘法,则是对该理论之具体的实践。     

从“自然之性”到“道德之性”——读《先秦儒家人性论的演变——以郭店儒简为考察重点》

对于心性道德伦理的探讨是中国传统文化,尤其是儒家思想中一个极其重要的构成部分。几千年来,醉心于此的思想家不计其数,文章著述更是汗牛充栋。然而学术研究不像教学,贵在创新而非因循教化。李友广博士新近出版的《先秦儒家人性论的演变——以郭店儒简为考察重点》(陕西人民出版社,2014年。以下简称《先秦儒家人性论的演     

姓氏堂号中蕴含的中国传统伦理思想

中国传统社会里,一般人家的厅堂之上都悬挂有＂××堂＂的匾额,每逢年节喜庆之日,还在门前悬挂有＂××堂＂字样的大红灯笼。这里的＂××堂＂,就是姓氏堂号。堂号,顾名思义就是祠堂、厅堂的名号。在传统宗法社会里,同一宗族的人往往居住在一起,每个聚族而居的家族,     

有关“曹雪芹书箱”问题考两则

<正>一、"一拳石"不能证雪芹书箱为伪造从2009年年初开始,各家红学网络上,关于所谓曹雪芹书箱真假的问题又被很多人提起来。其中,有一个传为某专家主伪的意见引起了我的兴趣。此观点认为书箱是伪造的,核心证据是什么呢?正如红学研究者于鹏所言:问题的核心是与补天有关的"一拳石"出于富竹泉的诗句,此诗被其外孙冒充曹雪芹诗中,而号称曹雪芹书箱的箱子上偏偏有这个"一拳顽石"。     

The Languages of Peace During the French Religious Wars

ABSTRACT

The desirability of peace was a common topos in sixteenth-century political rhetoric, and the duty of the king to uphold the peace for the benefit of his subjects was also a long-established tradition. However, the peculiar circumstances of the French religious wars, and the preferred royal policy of pacification, galvanized impassioned debate among both those who supported and those who opposed confessional coexistence. This article looks at the diverse ways in which peace was viewed during the religious wars through an exploration of language and context. It draws not only on the pronouncements of the crown and its officials, and of poets and jurists, but also on those of local communities and confessional groups. Opinion was not just divided along religious lines; political imperatives, philosophical positions and local conditions all came into play in the arguments deployed. The variegated languages of peace provide a social and cultural dimension for the contested nature of sixteenth-century French politics. However, they could not restore harmony to a war-torn and divided kingdom.     

The Great Conversation and the Ethics of Inclusion

Hispanic and Latino Americans want security from terrorists as much as all other Americans. A protective membrane surrounding the country that is too porous is of little use and constitutes a danger to residents, both citizens and non-citizens alike. This much is uncontroversial. Similarly, most American citizens truly benefit from the work product of undocumented workers. Presumably, some case can be made that most undocumented workers see themselves as better off than if they had remained in their country of origin. Things become controversial when an attempt is made to balance resident safety against resident desire for inexpensive labor. The controversy inevitably escalates when consideration is given to the fairness of wages paid to undocumented workers. These moral issues cannot be ignored. However, as important as these issues are, the present argument addresses more specifically the duties educators have towards learners and potential learners regardless of their current citizenship status. The argument acknowledges that all citizens of a nation have certain duties to that nation but then the argument concludes by pointing out that some ageless professions like medicine and pedagogy have special duties transcending any immediate and transient duties imposed by nationalistic affiliation. Specifically in the case of education, all pedagogues have a duty to do nothing to exclude any willing participant from participation in the Great Conversation of Humankind.     

中国古代宗教管理体制源流初探

我国对宗教实施管理,是从佛教开始的。随着道教的勃兴,封建王朝对佛教、道教都陆续建立了相应的管理机构,时间大致在东晋南北朝。基督教自唐传入后,亦纳入政府管理,元朝还为之建立了专门的管理机构。明清对僧、道之管理,多沿唐以来之旧,皆领于礼部祠祭司。唐以后,我国的宗教管理体     

Cultural Identification and Religious Identification Contribute Differentially to the Adaptation of Australian Adolescent Muslims

Australian Muslims are generally perceived as a devalued group in Australia and the public attitudes towards them are generally negative. This context raises questions about belonging and adaptation among Australian adolescent Muslims. The current study investigated how adolescent Muslims relate to their heritage culture, religion, and Australian culture, and which of these three factors is most important to adolescent Muslims’ psychological and socio-cultural adaptation. The study employed a mixed-method design. A total of 321 high school Muslim students (149 males and 172 females) aged between 14 and 18 years completed self-report questionnaires, and a subset sample of 18 students in the same age range, evenly split between males and females, participated in semi-structured interviews. The study revealed a hierarchical pattern of identification among Australian adolescent Muslims, with attachment to their religion being the most important, followed by heritage culture identification and being Australian in third place. Australian adolescent Muslims’ religious identification was perceived overall as more crucial to their socio-cultural and psychological adaptation, than their heritage culture identification or Australian identification. There was an overall modest contribution of Australian identification to adolescent Muslims’ adaptation. This might be connected with the relatively less attachment they show to their Australian identity due maybe to perception of being the target of prejudice, an issue that can be addressed by implementation of prejudice reduction strategies.     

从酋邦理论谈到古蜀国家的建立

古蜀文明最重要的体现，是这里出现的由古蜀人建立的早期国家。这个国家是在古蜀大地自成单元的地理环境中独自产生出来的，这对于我国古代文明起源与发展具有十分重要的意义。本文运用现代人类学广泛采用的酋邦理论，通过古蜀文明与中原文明的对比，论证古蜀地区与中原同样经历了以不平等氏族结构为特征的酋邦发展阶段，再进化到早期国家阶段。并对古蜀地区由酋邦社会发展到国家社会的具体途径进行了探讨，认为古蜀国家的产生也同中原夏商周三个王朝一样，是由一个大的酋邦对其它酋邦统一的结果。     

Demographic and Religious Differences in the Dimensions of Self-Disclosure Among Hindus and Muslims in India

This paper discusses a survey, carried out by the authors, of Hindu and Muslim men and women in six Indian states to determine if social/cultural identities influenced self-disclosure. Specifically, an individual's sex, religious, and state identity were investigated. Results indicated that across religions, women disclosed more than men. Comparisons based on religious identification and state of birth revealed significant differences between Hindus and Muslims and between states of birth on self-disclosure. Results also suggest the predictive power of religious identification and state of birth vary dependent upon the dimensions of self-disclosure. Implications for future research include further examination of aspects of identity related to self-disclosure.
