跨学科研究与当代中国史学科发展的前景

当代中国史是历史学家族中最年轻的一门学科,也是最富发展潜力的一门学科,其优势和活力主要表现在能够充分借鉴、运用和整合其他学科的理论和方法。在当代中国史学科中提倡跨学科研究,一方面是指运用其他学科的理论和方法拓宽当代中国史研究的范围,从而更好地体现当代中国史学科的整体性、综合性;另一方面是指借鉴其他学科的理论和方法,从新的视角或新的思路拓展当代中国史研究的深度,增强其学术性与科学性。越来越多的学术实践表明,整合其他学科的理论和方法、实现自身的进步已成为当代中国史学科发展的重要趋势。     

The Purpose of Porphyry's Letter to Marcella

Porphyry's Letter to Marcella was ostensibly written by the Neoplatonic philosopher, while away on a mission on behalf of the Greeks, in order to encourage his wife, Marcella, to continue her study of philosophy during his absence. The precise date of the letter is uncertain. It is here argued that it was intended for public circulation and should be seen in association with Porphyry's anti-Christian polemic. It can be interpreted as a protreptic text intended to convert its readers to true philosophy, and it is suggested that it was directed to those women who might otherwise be attracted to Christianity. Marcella can be said to represent the intended readership of the letter.     

跨学科研究的学术规范——从《信誉：在从猿到人转变过程中的意义》一文谈起

《信誉 :在从猿到人转变过程中的意义》一文缺乏跨学科研究的学术规范。从事跨学科的学术研究 ,首先必须掌握所跨学科的基本常识 ,正确理解其基本理论 ;其次 ,利用所跨学科研究资料时应如实反映 ,准确理解 ,尤其是引用外文资料 ,更要认真阅读 ,客观引用 ;第三 ,跨学科研究要遵守一般的学术规范 ,经得起学术检验。     

The Space Shuttle Its Interdisciplinary Design and Construction

Abstract

Major astronautical endeavors like the Space Shuttle Program apply the current state of progress in engineering, technology and art, as well as today s sophisticated administrative, economic and pOlitical systems. This review discusses the scope of scientific and engineering disciplines involved in the design and construction of the Space Shuttle – the world's first reusable space transportation system — now approaching flight readiness. Some background material is presented describing early concepts that led to the Shuttle design — the evolution of rocketry and manned orbital vehicles. Next, Shuttle operations and capabilities are explained. Shuttle system development is used to illustrate how the diverse technological disciplines were integrated — a function that has been maturing over the year into the process of systems engineering. Some of the Shuttle's complex subsystems and challenging requirements are discussed in detail to exemplify the coordination of elements associated with systems engineering: aerodynamics, propulsion structural design, data processing and software, simulation exercises, crew training, verification testing and mission control. Future space programs are discussed, including concepts for extending Shuttle usage and capabilities, and some long-range ideas for exploiting the space frontier. (An alphabetic listing of acronyms used in this review is added as an appendix.)     

旅行的意义

公元前497年,圣人孔子带领着一干弟子踏上了周游列国之路。他辗转卫、曹、宋、郑、陈、蔡、楚等国之间,风餐露宿,览尽名山大川。虽然他的政治主张最终未能被其中的任何一个国君所接受,但是他的思想,却随着他的足迹传播四方。     

Plurality and Globalization: The Challenge of Economics to Social Theology

Abstract

The phenomenon of the global market economy, drawing as it does on ‘liberal’ concepts of plurality and the transcending of tradition, offers a serious challenge to social theology. Neither liberal nor communitarian (confessional) approaches are able to give adequate accounts of two fundamental economic problematics: scarcity and interrelatedness. Liberal approaches have tended to subordinate theological insights to secular narratives in ways which obscure distinctive contributions from the Christian tradition. Confessional approaches have not handled finitude or translatability between communities and traditions with sufficient subtlety. This article argues that an adequate social theology on the economy will bridge liberal and communitarian approaches in ways which are cognisant of the particularity of traditions yet open to encounter between them, and, drawing on MacIntyre, Shanks and Selby, among others, sketches the outlines of such a dialogic traditionalism.     

“主体权利”文本解读及其对西欧史研究的意义——阿贝拉尔与爱洛伊丝情感悲剧的个案探析

阿贝拉尔与爱洛伊丝是法国 1 2世纪的著名知识分子 ,在 1 2世纪基督教禁欲主义思想与情爱自由的人性主义思潮的斗争中 ,他们深陷禁欲主义的桎梏和人性本能的纠葛中难以自拔。他们的情感悲剧从一个侧面反映了基督教在欧洲社会中的支配地位得到确立和巩固并使哲学和一切意识形态成为神学附庸的事实 ,当时的教会控制着人们的精神生活 ,压抑人性的解放 ,制约着世俗生活和世俗文化的发展 ,由此也揭示了基督教禁欲主义对欧洲社会的深刻影响。     

The Economics of Gold

Abstract

From day to day or month to month, the price of gold can swing violently. But over much longer time spans, gold holds its real value rather well. This paradox is explored in this paper; it is explained by the notion that a well informed market should overreact to news about the fundamentals governing its long run value; and then, in the absence of further shocks, the price and stock of gold in use should tend to drift in opposite directions until the long run point of balance is attained. The paper also investigates other issues concerning gold, including the suggestion that paper currency should be backed by gold.     

莫友芝《黔诗纪略》编纂目的考论

《黔诗纪略》是最为学界重视的黔诗选本.展贵州明代诗歌状况、取名能诗家之制和存文献是该书的三个编纂目的.三个编纂目的共存使《黔诗纪略》诗学批评功能和文献功能兼具.贵州文献散佚严重,莫友芝保留文献意识强烈是"存文献"编纂目的产生的主要原因.从《黔诗纪略》编纂目的的认识情况来看,其"存文献"的编纂目的所产生的影响更大,但《黔诗纪略》其他编纂目的也值得注意.
