In Memory of Jordan M. Phillips - China＇s ＂American Bethune＂

IN the vocabulary of the Chinese, ＂Bethune＂ is the ultimate synonym for the noble figure.Norman Bethune＇s reputation was made in the anti-Japanese war period when the Canadian physician trudged the frontiers under heavy gunfire to treat the great many Chi- nese wounded. Adding virtual martyrdom to his heroic qualities, Bethune eventually died in the anti-fascist battlefield, from exhaustion and complications contracted from surgery. ＂What kind of spirit is this,＂ asked Mao Zedong in his famous 1939 article ＂In memory of Norman Bethune,＂ ＂that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese people＇s liberation as his own？＂     

也谈慎刑--兼与陈松、熊建先生商榷

慎刑作为中国古代法文化中的重要组成部分,对缓和社会矛盾、促进经济发展和减少冤狱起到了一定作用。但慎刑主要针对的是死刑及笞杖罪以上的判罚,由于受各种因素制约,实际操作中很难达到预想效果。慎刑与恤刑有着本质不同,而且明代的厂卫制度也并非对慎刑的监督,而是司法审判制度的一种弊政。

究竟应当怎样研究马克思主义--同王金福先生商榷

对马克思的文本作出“成熟的”或“不成熟”的取舍和区分 ,割裂了马克思思想发展的内在联系。马克思主义的发展过程贯穿着“非马克思主义”与“马克思主义”对立统一的矛盾运动 ,对任一发展阶段的马克思思想都不能做非此即彼的分割。马克思主义不是纯粹的理论问题 ,而是改变世界的实践批判学说 ,必须在“革命的”“实践批判的”活动中理解和发展马克思主义     

"民本"替代不了民主--与徐勇、周一平两位先生论辩

《探索与争鸣》2003年第9期、第12期和2004年第3期分别刊登了徐勇教授关于新民本主义的一篇文章和周一平教授关于新民本主义的二篇文章。徐勇教授首倡“走向新民本主义”,认为“从新权威主义到新民本主义的转变”使“中国的改革发展和执政理念都进入到一个新的阶段”;周一平教授对此表示赞同,并觉意犹未尽,先对徐文没有谈到的新民本主义的“实质”及“走向”作“试论”,又对“新民本社会主义观”进行“初探”。二位先生大作的气派不能不使人惊讶,但对他们的基本观点及大多论述我不敢苟同。现简叙如下,以期引起争鸣。新权威主义决非世纪之交…     

建设新农村:权威的观点一定可靠吗

在日常生活中,人们总是习惯于接受和认同权威(专家)的意见。但实际上专家决策、权威结论也要受到诸多主客观条件限制,加之现代社会发展的复杂性,专家决策不等于科学决策,权威发布的不一定就是真理。在新农村建设问题上,权威的观点有时并不那么可靠。     

空间认知的几点反思

空间理论探究近年来成为学术界关注的热点,但从不同流派的空间认知中,可以发现他们对空间的认知或者基于空间理论展开的其他研究,都不同程度地存在着脱离对空间本体及基本属性认知的局限,因而从空间本体论、空间属性、空间方位、空间与时间关系角度全面深入地对其展开探究,是科学准确地把握空间基础理论的关键,也是进一步展开空间理论其他研究的前提。
