Exceptional Scholarship and Democratic Agendas: Interviews with John Goodlad,John Hoyle,Joseph Murphy,and Thomas Sergiovanni

This portraiture study of four exceptional scholars in education – John Goodlad, John Hoyle, Joseph Murphy, and Thomas Sergiovanni – provides insight into their scholarly work and life habits, direction and aspirations, assessment and analysis of major trends in the profession, and advice for aspiring leaders and academics. Telephone interviews with the leading scholars (4) and their referral colleagues (8), in addition to document analysis, validated the following criteria for the selection of exceptional scholarship previously generated via survey respondents (educational leadership professors): The scholar (a) publishes widely, (b) has broad impact, (c) has multiple spheres of influence, and (d) has established mentoring systems. Democratic concepts and agendas for education emerged from the interviews focused on exceptional scholarship, an outcome incorporated within the results.     

梅斯特与卢梭社会思想之比较

约瑟夫·德·梅斯特与卢梭的思想通常被视为是截然相对的。但是,立场上的对立却无法掩盖两人思想之间更为复杂的关系。这种关系,在他们有关政治社会的理论中,明显地体现出来。在论及人性、社会的产生与发展、维护良好社会的诸要素等问题时,两人理论的出发点和结论几乎全然相反,梅斯特对卢梭也进行了猛烈的抨击。但同时,他对主权、立法者和宗教的作用等问题的看法,又与卢梭存在着一致性。更重要的是,两人对启蒙哲学的许多基本理论都提出了类似的挑战。从某种程度而言,正是梅斯特的理论捍卫了卢梭思想的本质。     

THE CURIOUS MR SPECTATOR

This paper examines the relationship between the aesthetic thought of Joseph Addison and Richard Steele and early modern virtuoso culture. It argues that both Addison and Steele did not reject virtuoso culture so much as to attempt to reform and redefine it. It is observed that Addison in particular wrote a virtuoso travel narrative in his Remarks on Italy as well as contributing to the discourse on antiquarian medal-collecting. In their writings on art and connoisseurship in the Tatler and Spectator essays, both Addison and Steele can be understood as defenders of a neo-classical aesthetic that rejected and ridiculed a supposedly indiscriminate virtuoso aesthetic of curiosity. But the essays are best understood as part of an important moment of transition in which an early enlightenment notion of taste emerged from a template established by baroque virtuosity rather than as a complete rejection of virtuoso culture.     

忧患于天地之间的"思想织物"——评王大卫的长篇纪实游记《天地无极》

长篇纪实游记《天地无极》的作者王大卫以缅怀洛克半个世纪以前的献身考察的事迹为初衷,并沿着洛克当年的路线一一探寻和思考,再加上千万年不变的自然山川与“百年不变”的“人文生态”,使得两条以时间为界的单线归并成了一条以空间为缘并纵贯全书的深沉复线,叙写如行云流水,在过去、现在和未来的情境撞击中生发出多少随缘、随观、随感、随思、随想的心灵火花,有如不同色彩的横线来回穿梭于这块“思想织物”之上,让读者思考着“多少世纪以来一直在缓慢地改变着思想颜色的伟大运动在不远的将来仍将继续么?是否会出现倒退、阻碍进步、甚至毁弃已经取得的成就呢?”在全球化语境下的忧患意识充分地显示了一位知识分子作家所拥有的时下愈益难能可贵的正直品格。

荒诞主题的存在主义解读——关于《黑暗的心》的一种阐释

《黑暗的心》是英国杰出小说家约瑟夫.康拉德的一部极有影响力的作品。评论家们大多从神秘、象征、精神分析和殖民主义的角度来加以诠释,对其荒诞的主题则鲜有涉足。存在主义哲学主要探讨和关注人类在现代社会中的生存境况和精神世界。本文以存在主义理论为基础,通过对小说中自然环境、人物以及人际关系和事件描写的分析,揭示了小说的主题——荒诞;同时指出康拉德在小说中生动地描述他所预见到的现代人荒谬而可怕的生存状态,是源自于他对生活的观察和体验,表达了他对人类未来的关切和忧虑。

试解"李约瑟难题"--从中国传统思维方式的角度思考

思维方式包括三个部分：自然观、价值观和方法论。中国传统的自然观重整体轻部分，重政治伦理轻自然；传统的方法论重直觉顿悟方法轻科学实证方法；传统的价值导向注重经验实用轻理论。本文从这三个方面出发，通过中西对比，揭示了中国传统思维下中国不能产生近代科学和技术的原因。     

No time to think: Reflections on information technology and contemplative scholarship

This paper argues that the accelerating pace of life is reducing the time for thoughtful reflection, and in particular for contemplative scholarship, within the academy. It notes that the loss of time to think is occurring at exactly the moment when scholars, educators, and students have gained access to digital tools of great value to scholarship. It goes on to explore how and why both of these facts might be true, what it says about the nature of scholarship, and what might be done to address this state of affairs.
