A Narrative Policy Framework: Clear Enough to Be Wrong?

Narratives are increasingly subject to empirical study in a wide variety of disciplines. However, in public policy, narratives are thought of almost exclusively as a poststructural concept outside the realm of empirical study. In this paper, after reviewing the major literature on narratives, we argue that policy narratives can be studied using systematic empirical approaches and introduce a “Narrative Policy Framework” (NPF) for elaboration and empirical testing. The NPF defines narrative structure and narrative content. We then discuss narrative at the micro level of analysis and examine how narratives impact individual attitudes and hence aggregate public opinion. Similarly, we examine strategies for the studying of group and elite behavior using the NPF. We conclude with seven hypotheses for researchers interested in elaborating the framework.     

FROM NIETZSCHE'S PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY TO KANT'S—AND BACK

Reflecting on Anthony Jensen's Nietzsche's Philosophy of History, this essay describes Jensen's account of the three‐stage development of Nietzsche's historiographical practices and metahistorical positions: from his early philological writings, through The Birth of Tragedy, and into the mature philosophy of history that Jensen uncovers in Toward the Genealogy of Morality and Ecce Homo, which, so Jensen argues, consists in ontological realism combined with representational anti‐realism. While Jensen notes the importance of a like‐minded readership for the success of Nietzsche's historiographical projects, the essay asks whether Nietzsche did in fact have such a readership and further emphasizes that the Genealogy and Ecce Homo are structured in such a way that they seek to create one. A similar structure is identified in Kant's “Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Perspective.” The essay concludes by reflecting on the significance of this similarity in light of the doctrines of eternal recurrence that are expressed in both Nietzsche's late writings and Kant's youthful cosmology.     

论鸠摩罗什对佛学及佛教文献学的贡献

鸠摩罗什是魏晋姚秦时代的名僧,历经坎坷来到长安后,积极致力于佛经翻译和教化事业,他对于中国佛学及佛教献学都着特别的贡献。对于佛学而言,通过鸠摩罗什的译介,使龙树中观派般若学说在中国得到弘传;开启了成实宗及隋唐各宗派的兴起,使成实宗成为中土较早的佛教宗派之一;使大乘佛教在中国广为流传,推动了后来中国佛学的发展。对于佛教献学而言,鸠摩罗什对佛教献的中国化作出了突出的贡献;他有计划、系统地翻译大乘典籍,奠定了汉大藏经的体系结构;他不断总结前人及自己的译经经验,为后世的翻译事业提供了有益的借鉴。鸠摩罗什因此奠定了他在中国佛教历史上的重要的地位。     

清代校勘学兴盛的语文学原因试析

校勘学在清代获得了空前的发展,从而成为一种群众化的学术活动。造成这种情况的原因,除了政治、经济、文化方面的因素之外,清代语文学的快速发展也是一个重要方面。从皖派学者治学的实践来看,文献校勘离不开文字学、音韵学和训诂学的知识,而文字学、音韵学、训诂学的研究又常常在文献校勘的基础上进行。清代校勘学之所以取得前所未有的成就,主要得益于清代语文学的大发展。     

Hanxue Shangdui: A case study on the contentions between the Han School and the Song School in the middle Qing dynasty

During the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing dynasty, Fang Dongshu published the Hanxue Shangdui, which launched a fierce attack on the Han School and marked the open contentions between the Han and the Song schools. While defending the Song Learning, Fang attacked the shortcomings of the Han School, mainly in four aspects: the Han School’s methods of scholarship, various concepts of philosophy proposed by the Han-Learning scholars, the trivial and piecemeal character, and the heterodoxy of the Han School. Fang Dongshu criticized the Han-Learning scholars who paid attention only to the books and neglected the social affairs. Sharp and reasonable as it was, his criticism however seemed less objective, especially when he tried to use the emperor’s authority to threaten the Han School, which was beyond the range of the normal academic debates. __________ Translated from Nankai Journal (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition), 2004: 1

‘Selig wer auch Zeichen gibt’: Leibniz as Historical Linguist

Abstract

Leibniz’s philosophical and philological interests overlapped at many points, and some of his fundamental philosophical notions shaped his views on language, particularly his thinking about language history, in decisive ways. Although he is better known for his work on universal language, his writings on natural language and language history are worth consideration both for their subtlety and for the insight they give into the complex history of thought on this topic. The principles of sufficient reason, praedicatum inest subjecto, and his doctrine of marks and traces are echoed in his work on natural languages and in his account of their histories. He attempted to reconcile philosophical investigations of the natural languages with the Biblical accounts of the confusion of languages at Babel, and in his approach to etymology he participated in a long tradition of thinking about language and its essence as hidden or secret, the truth of which remains scattered in signs and which etymology alone may occasionally reveal.

DEFENDING SPIRIT,SPIRITUALIZING MATTER: NINETEENTH-CENTURY FRENCH ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY AND THE MEDICAL SCIENCES

This review essay discusses Larry Sommer McGrath's Making Spirit Matter: Neurology, Psychology, and Selfhood in Modern France (2020), a history of the philosophical current known as “spiritualism.” The book covers the long nineteenth century, focusing especially on the first part of the Third Republic (1870–1914), and studies how French academic philosophers confronted the discourses about human cognition and behavior that were produced by physicians—namely, physiologists and pathologists, phrenologists, neurologists, alienists, and psychiatrists. It describes how, while engaged in this confrontation, French philosophy took a peculiar shape, eventually influencing the development of some sciences—namely, psychology, which emerged progressively as a discipline at the crossroads of medicine and philosophy. In the second part of the essay, starting from a terminological analysis of a series of terms dealing with “spirit,” I consider the formation of spiritualism by adopting an approach that diverges slightly from the ones proper to history of philosophy and intellectual history. I inscribe the philosophical discourses in their contexts of emergence, paying particular attention to institutional macrostructures and their inertia. This provides another perspective on “spiritualism,” which may no longer be conceived as a current or a school; rather, it should be conceived as the effect of the conditions of possibility of academic philosophy in France. It seems to me that, starting from the beginning of the nineteenth century, because of the organization of the educational institutions, the French philosophers’ agenda consisted mainly in opposing all forms of materialism, mechanism, and determinism and in defending the legitimacy of their discipline.     

旅游集散地研究初探:整体性、转换机制、自身调节性——以结构主义地理学方法为研究视角

旅游集散地正随着区域旅游的发展,重要程度日益显现。文章基于结构主义人文地理学的研究方法,认为结构是决定区域旅游发展的关键因素,决定内核的是机制,而决定机制的是结构,文章在围绕皮亚杰认为的结构三特性:整体性、转换机制、自身调节性对一直以来关注较少的旅游集散地的形成和功能进行了分析后,提出了旅游集散地地位不应低于旅游目的地,越是高层次的区域,越发体现出旅游开发的结构效益。旅游集散地的建设要强调休闲功能,而不是观光功能,要强调服务价值,而不是资源价值。

From the Inside Looking out and the Outside Looking in: Whatever Happened to ‘Behavioural Geography’?

As part of the Institute of Australian Geographers' Millennium Project, this article examines the shift of behavioural geography from a cutting edge sub-discipline to a branch of enquiry that is now much less prominent in mainstream human geography, especially in Australia. Through an exploration of the rationale for behavioural geography, a brief outline of the nature of the work that was done, and a consideration of the critiques of behavioural geography, the paper argues that behavioural geography enriched the discipline in several ways: it was instrumental in encouraging geographers to consider the epistemological foundations of the discipline; it fostered consideration of a variety of philosophical and methodological positions; and it highlighted the need to consider interrelationships between individuals, groups, society and environment thereby bringing into prominence the ways in which shared environmental meanings are contested and negotiated. Behavioural geography might be a term that is used much less than it once was and behaviourally-orientated research might increasingly find expression in interdisciplinary outlets rather than in mainstream geography journals but contemporary geography is heir to the endeavours of behavioural geography.     

后结构主义语境下的社会理论:米歇尔·福柯与亨利·列斐伏尔

后结构主义是20世纪六十年代以来率先在法语世界崛起的一股学术思潮,亦是欧洲大陆哲学中最重要的流派之一。它有两个特点:一是强调对二元对立的结构进行解构,揭示社会结构的不同要素之间相互依存,相互建构的辩证关系;二是认为身份认同不是先验的和僵化的,而是在复杂的社会过程中被不断重新定义与再生产的。从这两大基本观点出发,本文对两位法国后结构主义代表学者米歇尔·福柯与亨利·列斐伏尔的哲学理论进行评述与总结,提示后结构主义对空间科学的意义,认为后结构视角在空间科学之中的应用需要建立在一个全新的空间观之上。     

认识论哲学观及其超越

认识论哲学观是西方传统哲学的主流哲学观。认识论哲学观主张,哲学是人类以理性对全部世界的总体图景、基本性质、内在本质和运动规律进行认识,获取系统化的理性知识并做出科学说明的活动,是系统性的理性知识和真理的体系。本文在论述认识论哲学观的基础上,指出认识论哲学观隐藏着深沉的生存论关切,现代生存论哲学观是对传统认识论哲学观的超越。
