Muslim Selbstverständnis: Ahmet Davutoğlu answers Husserl's Crisis of European Sciences

In formulating his understanding of Islamic history, thought and politics, the Turkish Muslim thinker Ahmet Davuto?lu approves and adopts the German philosopher Edmund Husserl's formulation of phenomenology — or, philosophy of consciousness. Both Husserl and Davuto?lu perceive a crisis in humanity and identify its causes in scientism and logical positivism, against which they develop their respective phenomenological alternatives. This article places in parallel Husserl's stylised history of Western thought and Weltanschauung method with that of Davuto?lu's Muslim worldview, in order to illuminate the latter's putatively comprehensive interpretation of Islam, diagnosis of the ills of secularism, modernisation, and crisis of values he finds in Muslim societies; and his prescribed treatment for those ills: the privileging of ontology over epistemology, and the full unfolding of core theological concepts of revelation, monotheism, and prophecy. Davuto?lu seeks to reconcile tensions and disputes within Islamic intellectual traditions concerning the nature of God and God's attributes, and the tension between mysticism and rationalism, and the historical and the atemporal. In summary, Davuto?lu's intervention in Islamic traditions is interesting in the effort it makes to appropriate elements of both Husserl and GWF Hegel for the purpose of reconciling a phenomenological reading of Islam with established Islamic authorities and commitments.

Le “serviteur” et “élu” d’Is 42,1 et ses disciples en Is 54,17ss

Abstract

En Is 41-48 le terme “serviteur” est appliqué à Israël selon le principe du transfert sur la descendance des Patriarches des titres davidiques du Ps 89 conformément à ce que propose le Ps 105. Les exilés effectuant un voyage semblable à celui d’Abraham sont appelés à jouer un rôle important dans la reconstruction. En Is 42,1 et 49-53 après de premières désillusions, le “serviteur” apparaît comme un individu qui doit servir de médiateur pour assurer le renouveau d’Israël en permettant particulièrement de lever les malédictions d’Is 6. En Is 54-66 le terme “serviteur” apparaît uniquement au pluriel, ces “serviteurs” se présentent comme les disciples du “serviteur.”     

明代科举中的官年现象

在明代“进士登科录”、“进士同年录”、“进士履历便览”等科举文献中,皆存在程度不等的官年现象。嘉靖以后,这一现象逐渐变得普遍且近乎公开化,虚报年龄者越来越多,虚报的年岁越来越大,至明末而流于糜烂。这一现象的形成,一方面是继承了历史上的官年传统,另一方面又受嘉靖以后选拔翰林院庶吉士、科道官限年制度的直接影响。

新荷铁路延津段1998年考古发掘简报

１９９８年秋,为配合新乡至荷泽铁路复线工程建设,河南省文物考古部门对该铁路所经过的延津段进行了考古调查和发掘。本次共发掘出明代陶窑１座,并对铁路线所经过的黄河故堤做了一些解剖工作,同时,还发现了有关古胙国的线索。现将本次考古发掘的主要收获简报如下。一、地理概况及地层堆积延津县位于河南省北中部,属黄河冲积扇平原,黄河故道自西南而东北贯穿境内。历史上黄河长期流经今延津境内,并多次决口泛滥,直至明成化十五年（１４７９年）黄河南迁,从此,延津才位于黄河北岸①。因而,这里沙土厚积,宋及宋以前历史遗迹绝大部…     

The Mid-Tang Scholar-Monk Shenqing and His Beishan lu

Abstract

This article investigates the thought of the mid-Tang scholar monk Shenqing through an examination of his Beishan lu. In this work, Shenqing launched a fervent attack against Southern Chan, while pressing for the harmonization of the Three Teachings. His critique of Southern Chan reflects his Theravadin tendency, as he expressed negative views about Southern Chan's violation of traditional Buddhist teachings. He specifically attacked its de-emphasis on the vinaya, and the fabrication of the 28-Patriarchs theory of transmission. In an effort to establish the orthodoxy of Southern Chan in early Northern Song, Chan clerics found it necessary to respond to Shenqing's critique, as clearly reflected in the writings of the monk Qisong. Beishan lu is a valuable source for a study of Shenqing's thought, and the unfolding of the harmonization of the Three Teachings. It also allows us to trace the historical unfolding of the Southern Chan movement from a different perspective.     

《云笈七籤》本《墉城集仙录》探赜

《云笈七籖》节录之《墉城集仙录》并非杜光庭原本,它删略了杜光庭尊崇老子的内容,与宋代盛行茅山道、天师道及尊崇赵玄朗的信仰特征暗合。另,《云笈七籖》的部分改饰,很可能源自《太平广记》,并非出自张君房之手。     

城市地理学空间研究的新视角——都市区阴阳结构

统筹发展是新的历史条件下的现实选择,其出发点与立足点是普遍存在的客观差异。研究空间差异是城市地理学的基本命题,但对于都市区内部空间发展的差异,既有的区域层面的研究成果对此并不完全适用。笔者认为,都市区内部空间发展差异存在着明显的"阴阳结构"。本文试图以"阳面区和阴面区"界定都市区内部存在发展差异的空间地域,并对其概念、内涵、特征、机制等进行探讨与剖析,以新的辨证思维和新的视角来研究新的境遇下都市区空间的发展。     

The philosophy of westernisation: Ahmet Ağaoğlu on civilisation and culture

This article seeks to explore Ahmet A?ao?lu's understanding of the concepts of ‘civilisation’ and ‘culture’ and his approach to the question of Westernisation, with the aim of shedding light on the intellectual background of the westward transformation of Turkey. A?ao?lu attempted to define and describe these concepts at a time when a nation-building process was taking place in Turkey. The study traces the evolution of, and the relationship between, A?ao?lu's later Westernist and nationalist ideas which were in constant interplay with each other, and concludes that A?ao?lu saw a symbiotic relationship between one's changing civilisation and cultural enrichment.
