Canadian Philosophy: A Dialectical Exploration

This article inquires into the difference between philosophy as a universal practice and philosophy as a cultural product; its aim is to establish a case for there being Canadian philosophy. Philosophy as a practice can exhibit a dialectical framework. The practice can pursue both universal truths and cultural variations in expressions of those truths. Each philosophical endeavor requires the other to be meaningful. No matter how abstract a “truth” may be, an example always creates cultural relevance. The article introduces the example of an early Canadian philosopher, whose work is documented in the book by Leslie Armour and Elizabeth Trott, The Faces of Reason: An Essay on Philosophy and Culture in English Canada, 1850-1950. John Watson (1847–1939) was the most prolific and well-known contributor to philosophy in early Canada, pursuing universal questions and yet responding to the circumstances of his new home in developing Canada and, in doing so, contributing to Canadian cultural interpretations of philosophical questions. This article uses his example to conclude that the study of philosophy in Canada must include Canadian philosophy.

The Chinese Pacifics: A Brief Historical Review

ABSTRACT

This survey reviews the growing role and presence of China in the Island Pacific. As the late Professor Ron Crocombe remarked, in the Pacific a major transition is under way from a range of European to Asian influences. Many Western observers have viewed this rise of Asian, and specifically Chinese, influence with alarm, but Crocombe saw it as offering Pacific Islanders new opportunities. This paper first analyses the diversity that can be masked by terms such as ‘China’ and ‘the Pacific’. Then it surveys recent literature on China in the Pacific and scholarship concerned with longer Chinese histories in the region that most recent commentators ignore and which question a number of their assertions. Finally, it suggests possible future directions for historical research on this topic.     

The historical geography of early Canada: A Review

The oil refinery/petro‐chemical complex at Grangemouth has played an important part in the rise of the United Kingdom petro‐chemical industry which has been one of the most dynamic elements of the nation's manufacturing sector.¹ The complex has a special significance within Central Scotland in view of the contrast between its rapid development and the declining fortunes of the traditional industrial base. This paper analyses its structure and development and also examines its role as the focus of official attempts to promote Grangemouth/Falkirk as a ‘growth centre’.     

利他之心——稻盛和夫经营哲学的真谛

当代日本著名的大企业家稻盛和夫先生在其《新经营·新日本》一书的“关怀同情之心———我的人论”一章中 ,对利他之心进行了精辟透彻的论述 ,并且以此为他的“以心为本”的经营哲学奠定了坚实的伦理、道德基础。概括起来 ,可以从下述几个方面加以认识 :第一、只有抑制利己之心 ,才能实施“以心为本”的经营。这里所说的经营 ,是广义的经营 ,不仅指企业 ,而是泛指人生、各种事业、国家、国际社会等的经营。关于抑制利己之心 ,在东西方哲学、宗教、道德等著作中有许多至理名言 ,有的是作为人类一种纯粹的理想 ,希望书于竹帛 ,有的只限于个人…

The Saxon House: A Review and Some Parallels

A HOARD of fifteen iron and two copper-alloy artefacts was discovered near Nazeing in Essex in 1972. The nature and condition of the arte facts suggest that the hoard, consisting mainly of scrap metal, was that of a metalworker. A date of deposition in the nth century is probable.
