历史观信息主义：从媒介决定论到信息方式

历史观信息主义是对社会观信息主义的一种视界扩展,它将广义的信息技术（媒介）的发展作为人类文明和社会形态历史变迁的根本原因,视传播技术史为人类文明史,其观点虽然较为极端,但也对技术哲学提出了若干需要进一步探讨的问题。     

马克思与技术决定论研究述评

关于技术决定论的定义一直存在分歧,马克思的技术哲学思想与技术决定论的关系也倍受争论。本文回顾了关于技术决定论的种种定义,同时综述了国内学界关于“马克思是技术决定论者吗?”这个问题的三种观点,在此基础上对赞同派、反对派和折中派的论证逻辑加以总结。其中特别指出,“马克思的技术哲学观点”与“马克思主义的技术哲学观点”两个概念应该予以澄清。     

Beyond Presence: Epistemological and Pedagogical Implications of ‘Strong’ Emergence

In this paper we argue that the notion of strong emergence offers a challenge to the idea, currently dominant in schooling, that knowledge somehow relates to a pre-existing world, present in itself. We do this first by providing an account of strong emergence, showing how it brings into question the assumption of determinism. Following this we explain the epistemological consequences of this failure of determinism and in so doing develop an “emergentist” epistemology which has some compatibilities with deconstruction. Finally, we show that the emergentist critique of determinism makes it possible to imagine a form of schooling which is no longer concerned with questions about how best to teach the child about a pre-existing world (which, largely, are questions about whether this would or should be presented or represented in schools). Instead it becomes possible to imagine a form of schooling which is concerned with questions about responsibility and response.     

拉克劳和墨菲的后马克思主义观析评

后马克思主义概念历经演化直至拉克劳与墨菲那里才基本成型。广义的后马克思主义形成于20世纪80年代的西方社会,它泛指一切用后现代主义思想、精神或概念解读马克思主义的社会思潮。狭义的后马克思主义是指拉克劳和墨菲的后马克思主义思想。该思想基本内容是反经济决定论、反阶级还原论、反历史决定论、主张革命主体多元论、主张"激进与多元民主"。探索与批判以拉克劳和墨菲为代表的后马克思主义理论在当前具有重要的理论意义与现实意义。     

University students＇ conceptions about the concept of gene： Interest of historical approach

Concepts of genetics are often difficult to teach, specifically the central concept of gene. Even the scientists disagree when defining this concept. This paper investigates university students＇ understanding about the gene and its functions. The results show the dominance of two conceptions of the gene： the Neoclassical model and the Mendelian model. The existence of hybrid conceptions and the lack of the modern model show that students are unable to mobilize the knowledge taught in biology. These results suggest to improve the teaching methods of genetics, for instance, by developing activities that bring students face to face with their conceptions.     

罪过与责任——社会生物学视野中的“休谟之叉”及其解决

休漠之叉的实质在于挑战已成为我们思维惯性的所谓必然性与偶然性之间的辩证关系图式,置疑违法责任的主观方面要件(基于自由意志而产生的"过错"或"罪过")的理论,提出了自由意志或违法的主观方面何以可能的问题.尝试将休谟之叉纳入社会生物学的视野之中,通过吸收人类基因组工程计划的最新研究成果,进一步探讨基因与环境之间的复杂互动关系,进而对现有的罪过(guilt)及其责任(responsibility)理论进行一种法理学上的重构,以期进一步引起法学界对这一问题的关注.

因果必然性探析——结合休谟、卡尔纳普因果研究的考察

纵观西方因果观念的历史演变．它与必然性、决定论的相互纠缠有其特定的自然科学背景。近代．休谟提出了因果性批判;卡尔纳普试图从语义学角度来定义因果必然性。对待决定论的态度取决干不同阶段自然科学的发展状况．被认为是非（因果）决定论的量子力学却在某种意义上保留了因果必然性（微观因果性）。

Charting Theoretical Directions for Examining African Journalism in the “Digital Era”

This essay provides a metatheoretical framework for understanding the complexities surrounding African journalism in the era of interactive digital technologies. It argues for the continued relevance of traditional theoretical paradigms, and submits that radical calls to develop new theories as well as to de-Westernise contemporary journalism studies through exclusively deploying “home-grown” concepts such as ubuntuism are not necessarily always viable. Rather, there is more to gain from appropriating traditional theories and identifying possible synergies between the “old”, predominantly Western approaches, and the “new digital phenomena”, and weaving out of that dialogue, approaches that are not radically different but are in tune with the uniqueness of African experiences. This approach, as the study argues, is particularly important given that journalism (including its appropriation of new technologies) always takes on the form and colouring of the social structure in which it operates. The study thus draws on social constructivist approaches to technology and the sociology of journalism, as well as an array of theoretical concerns from African journalism scholarship to offer a possible direction for a conceptual framework that can help us to capture the complex imbrications between new digital technologies and journalism practice in Africa.
