Tianxia system on a snail's horns

Abstract

This article aims to report the findings from some recent researches on the historical formation of the concept of tianxia and its original meanings. In the light of these findings, I would like to make some comments on the Chinese philosopher Zhao Tingyang's works on the tianxia system. I demonstrate that the concept of tianxia portrayed by Zhao is at odds with the historical concepts of tianxia in many ways, and that the challenge raised by the latter for Chinese nationalism today is unanswered. I also examine Zhao's proposal of the tianxia system and point out that this proposal as a universalist commitment to a philosophy of the world seems to have failed on both the motivational and theoretical levels. In conclusion, I make an observation about a problem which might have a profound but inimical effect on the creativity of Chinese intellectual minds, namely, the urge to make chinoiserie theories at the expense of theoretical coherence and logical consistency.     

An interview with Marie-José Mondzain: what is an image?

ABSTRACT

Marie-Jose Mondzain is one of the major philosophers writing about image, iconography, and representation today. In this interview, she discusses a few of the central ideas in her approach to and thinking about the nature of image and image-making as they bear upon the emergence of subjectivity and visibility in general. According to Mondzain, images are not visual objects we may or may not see; rather they are the site where the visible and its invisibility crisscross each other in opening the field of presence. Images, as Mondzain says in the interview, are cracks or leaks in being. They are where lights first come in and where man and beings are born to each other in their being-in-the world, that is, in their truth. Moving beyond historical and theoretical reflections, Mondzain turns to discuss things and scenes of mass media of late, addressing issues of pleasure, anxiety, desire, and the like, wherein ideologies, power, and the lure of images can be seen to intersect with our everyday life that has become irrevocably one of passive mobility. To the point at every turn, her answers to questions in this interview provide a glimpse to her forceful thinking and insights.     

打破道統重建學統清代學術思想史的一個新觀察

一 前言:從"傳統學術轉型"觀察清代學術思想史 "中國近代知識轉型"(Constructing Modern Knowledge in China, 1600-1949)是一個龐大且具重要意義的課题.欲探討這個近代史上中、西學術援引、裂變與互滲的複雜過程,至少得從兩大面向展開:一是探討中國傳统學術自身的統系及變化,一是尋繹近代科學式知識在中國的建構過程,而前者尤其重要.無後者,固不足以知中國學術知識體系的近代性發展;無前者,則不僅無以知吾國傳統學術體系及特質,更將因學無所據而不知如何展開中西比對.     

夜游塞纳河

塞纳河是法国东北部的一条大河,发源予法国北部浪格尔高地,全长776公里．注入英吉利海峡。它穿过桩国的心脏一首都巴黎。塞纳河在巴黎的诞生及发展中扮演着重要的角色。是啊,是塞纳河上的西岱岛孕育了巴黎。公元六世纪巴黎成为法国的王都后,历代国王大兴土木,相继建造了教堂,王宫和桥梁等各种建筑,沿着塞纳河不断向外扩张蔓延,     

Getting What You Pay For: Children's Use of Market Norms to Regulate Exchanges

Children are sensitive to a number of considerations influencing distributions of resources, including equality, equity, and reciprocity. We tested whether children use a specific type of reciprocity norm—market norms—in which resources are distributed differentially based strictly on amount offered in return. In two studies, 195 children 5–10 years and 60 adults distributed stickers to friends offering same or different amounts of money. Overall, participants distributed more equally when offers were the same and more unequally when offers were different. Although sensitive to why friends offered different amounts of money, children increasingly incorporated market norms into their distributions with age, as the oldest children and adults distributed more to those offering more, irrespective of the reasons provided.     

信息资源管理政策执行力影响因素研究——以《关于加强信息资源开发利用工作的若干意见》为例

本文以《关于加强信息资源开发利用工作的若干意见》为样本,研究影响信息资源管理政策执行力的相关因素,以期提高信息资源管理政策执行效率,更好地指导和规范新的政策的出台和实施。基于信息资源管理政策执行力影响因素的特点,运用系统动力学原理,通过建模和仿真对政府信息公开的程度、执行人员的素质与能力、目标群体的结构与信息素质、配套政策的协同性、信息资源管理政策的明晰性和前瞻性这五个因素进行灵敏度分析,对比各系统参数值的改变对信息资源管理政策执行力的影响程度。研究结果表明,政府信息公开的程度对信息资源管理政策执行力的影响最显著,目标群体的结构与信息素质对信息资源管理政策执行力的影响较小且有限,其余三个因素均对信息资源管理政策执行力产生不同程度的影响。结合大数据时代的发展需求,对《关于加强信息资源开发利用工作的若干意见》的修订提出建议:推进政府数据开放,建立健全配套政策协同机制,完善政策规范和体系。提出信息资源管理政策执行力的提升路径:提高政府信息公开和数据开放的程度,加强执行主体协同与信息资源开发利用活动的评估工作,增强政策制定过程的科学性,提升执行人员的素质与能力。     

中医药与运动性疲劳

针对中医对运动疲劳的认识、中医药在消除运动性疲劳中的作用及研究中存在的问题,如基础研究中存在的问题、建立运动性疲劳中医"证"的动物模型和实践中存在的不足,进行总结和梳理,旨在进一步加深中医对运动疲劳本质的认识,提高中医药抗疲劳针对性和效果,促进运动员大运动量训练后机体的恢复。     

高校学校体育信息化管理模式的研究

以计算机为主的现代信息技术在国民经济和社会发展中起到越来越重要的作用,高校体育信息化管理模式主要从体育教学课程管理,体育信息资料管理,体育网络资源管理,学生信息成绩管理,体育科研活动管理,体育师资力量管理几个方面实施,对高校实施学校体育信息化管理具有一定的参考价值.     

高温环境下咖啡因对耐力大学生运动员运动中唾液sIgA、溶菌酶的影响

探讨高温环境下运动中,口服咖啡因对男大学生运动员运动中唾液分泌型免疫球蛋白A（sIgA）和溶菌酶（lysozyme,LZM）的影响。采用实验研究方法,以13名男性耐力性项目大学生运动员为研究对象。每名研究对象在温度为33℃、相对湿度为65%的实验室完成两次实验（咖啡因运动实验和对照运动实验）。每次实验中,采集运动前60 min、运动前即刻、运动20 min、运动结束即刻的唾液样本,测定唾液sIgA、LZM的浓度。实验结果显示,口服咖啡因对高温环境下耐力大学生运动员运动中唾液sIgA无影响,但会降低唾液LZM水平,高温环境、中等强度运动使男耐力大学生运动员唾液sIgA和LZM的水平升高。
