论价值与存在

一、事实与价值.区分事实与价值,是价值哲学的起点.把事实混同于价值,是当代世界各国居于主导地位的价值哲学在理论上陷于混乱的根本原因.二、是与应当.不仅"是"在一定条件下可以推导出"应当",而且"应当"必须以"是"为根据."是"什么是实现科学决策作出"应当"如何的必要条件.三、价值与存在.价值存在于主体与客体的相互作用中,存在于主客体相互作用下客体对主体的作用和影响中,主客体相互作用中客体对主体的效应,就是价值(广义的价值).客体对主体积极的效应,就是正价值;消极的效应,就是负价值.通常人们所说的价值,指正价值,在这个意义上说,价值必定是善的.价值的本质在于促进主体生存、发展、完善,使主体特别是使人类社会更美好,使每一个人全面而自由地发展.

The Probability of Being Decisive

The probability of a voter being decisive (P_D), that is, of one vote affecting the outcome of an election, has generally been incorrectly calculated for the last twenty or more years. The method normally used is due to Banzhaf (1968) and generalised by Beck (1974). It assumes that voters know in advance how many people will vote for each candidate, which is clearly not the case. The correct formulation was given by Good and Mayer in 1975, but was ignored and has subsequently been all but forgotten since then. A simple explanation of these methods is given. Using the incorrect method, errors of magnitude of more than 10¹⁰⁰ in calculating P_D correctly can be made. The appropriateness of using a decision-theoretic formulation instead of a game-theoretic one is also discussed.     

Being Certain Versus Being Right: Citizen Certainty and Accuracy of House Candidates' Ideological Orientations

Research on voting behavior has been reinvigorated by focusing on citizens' certainty of candidates' issue positions and ideological orientations. According to this perspective, citizens are inclined to support candidates whom they are confident possess attributes they deem important. Analysis of citizens' perceptual certainty and perceptual accuracy of 1994, 1996, and 1998 House candidates' ideological orientations reveals that many candidate characteristics (incumbency, fiscal resources) that enhance certainty fail to improve perceptual accuracy. The electoral consequence of this fact is that candidates endowed with these resources benefit from the importance of certainty to citizens without paying the electoral costs of clarifying their issue positions and ideological orientations. Similarly, several characteristics of citizens that lead to certainty reduction—gender and caring about the outcome of the election, for example—fail to improve perceptual accuracy. The implications of the empirical findings for the role of citizens' assessments of certainty in the voting decision for producing an informed electorate are considered here.     

Being Canadian: Citizenship in Canada

This article analyses interviews conducted in 1996–97 with 78civic leaders in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. In part, the interviews focused on what it means to respondents to be Canadian. Among the respondents were 36 immigrants and 23 persons not of European ancestry, including four aboriginal people. The article addresses the challenge of creating a sense of citizenship—a moral sense of belonging—among a population of increasingly diverse origin in anglophone Canada. The argument proposed is that despite the diverse ancestral and geographical origins of the inhabitants of the country, Canadianness exists. Canadians, both native‐born and immigrants, recognize themselves as Canadians. They do so because they recognize the opportunities and freedoms available to them in Canada, and the day‐to‐day respect they enjoy. To be Canadian and recognized as such by others is meaningful. Even very recent immigrants do not define themselves primarily as members of their ancestral cultural communities. Spinner's concept of pluralistic integration seems a better way to describe Canadian society than the popular concept of multiculturalism.

Being British: A Crisis of Identity?

An assumed decline in Britishness has rekindled concern over the 'break up of Britain'. The creation of the Scottish Parliament in 1999 is taken as the cause and the effect of Scots having come to feel more Scottish and less British. Using data on public attitudes from British, and Scottish Social Attitudes surveys, this paper shows that, despite a strengthening sense of Scottishness over the last thirty years, the sense of being British is still widespread and similar in Scotland and in England. Even those who describe themselves as Scottish and not British are not hostile to the idea of Britain. The relatively weak association between national identity, party support and views on constitutional change suggests that being Scottish is more cultural than political. Recent attempts by politicians and others to mobilise Britishness ignore the complexity and diversity of meanings it has both north and south of the border.     

警察与慎独

“慎独”既是中国古代儒家所倡导的一种道德修养的方法,也是儒家推崇的人们进行道德修养所达到的一种崇高境界,含有一定的合理因素,值得辩证地继承和发扬。由于警察是一种特殊的职业,人民警察的性质、任务、职业特点及其所处的复杂的执法环境决定了其必须具备“慎独”的品质,做到慎欲、慎微、慎隐、慎省。     

有关思、存在、语言和人道主义

站在文本解读的角度,对海德格尔所著的<关于人道主义的书信>进行梳理,并撷取其中涉及的若干观点作简要阐释.海德格尔在这封长信中,不仅以行动作为引子,牵扯出有关思、存在以及语言之间的关系的考虑,论述了它们是源初共属的,而且探讨了有无必要坚持人道主义的问题,整理了人道主义的历史,并为人道主义下了新的定义.     

恩格斯思维与存在同一性观点辨析——兼与俞吾金教授商榷

思维与存在同一性问题是哲学基本问题的重要方面,我们认为,马克思恩格斯是在坚持唯物主义前提下,以承认思维与存在既有同质性又有异质性为基础的同一性,而不是俞吾金教授所说的,恩格斯是坚持黑格尔同质性基础上的思维与存在同一性。     

发展个体工商户:应为基本国策

改革开放以来,我国个体工商户得到突飞猛进的发展,成为市场经济的一个重要组成部分,但是从2000年以来,个体工商户在逐年减少。我国应将发展个体工商户作为一项基本国策。支持个体工商户的发展,这对社会、对国家是大有益处的,是构建社会主义和谐社会不可缺少的一个内容。
