再论中国古代契约与国家法的关系——以唐代田宅、奴婢卖买契约为中心

由唐代有关卖买契约的令文及有关律文规定,可见当时卖买契约与国家法律的基本关系。唐代卖买契约,基本是依照法律令进行的程序和活动,是在法律指导下形成的秩序。在此方面,古代契约活动的依据,主要为国家法,而非所谓民间法。

中国古代民事诉讼的和谐因素

诉讼破坏了社会秩序的和谐,制造了人与人之闻的紧张荚系,打破了正常生产生活关系的稳定性。和谐是我国传统文化的重要特征。在我国古代民事诉讼中予以充分体现。从我国历史上民事诉讼的起诉、市理、裁判、执行各个环节来看,和谐理念是贯彻始终的,是我国古代民事诉讼的精髓在当前我国构建社会主义和谐社会进程中,充分借鉴古代民事诉讼和谐因素,具有极其重要的意义和价值。     

寻求传统与当下、理论与现实的对接——论周来祥的审美文化研究

20世纪90年代以来的审美文化研究一直存在两种突出的倾向:一种是关注当下生活,对文化现实进行批判,却疏于理论建构与历史传承;另一种是严格从审美视角出发,探讨具有审美性质的文化层面,却超然于人们的现实境遇。有鉴于此,周来祥的审美文化研究显出特别的意义:他的审美文化研究既讲求理论的自洽性,又具有强烈的现实关怀,在对传统审美文化的梳理与当代文化的描述中亦能显示出内在的关联。这种寻求传统与当下、理论与现实对接的努力,为充满断裂的审美文化研究提供了一个可资借鉴的样本。

Moderate Machiavelli? Contrasting The Prince with the Arthashastra of Kautilya

Abstract

Max Weber was the first to see that the writings of Machiavelli, when contrasted with the brutal realism of other cultural and political traditions, were not so extreme as they appear to some critics. "Truly radical ‘Machiavellianism,’ in the popular sense of that word," Weber said in his famous lecture "Politics as a Vocation," "is classically expressed in Indian literature in the Arthashastra of Kautilya (written long before the birth of Christ, ostensibly in the time of Chandragupta [Maurya]): compared to it, Machiavelli's The Prince is harmless." In this article, contrast Machiavelli's writings to those of Kautilya (c. 300 B.C.E.) and question why Machiavelli omitted the harsher aspects of political domination such as spies, assassination of enemies, and torture. Could it be that he was afraid to tell a prince about the harsher characteristics of tyrannical rule? If so, why?     

Integrated DNA and Fingerprint Analyses in the Identification of 60‐Year‐Old Mummified Human Remains Discovered in an Alaskan Glacier

Abstract: This report describes the identification of a merchant mariner who perished in 1948 when Northwest Airlines Flight 4422, a DC‐4 carrying 24 seamen and six crew members crashed into Mount Sanford, Alaska. Fifty‐one years later, a human forearm and hand were found close by the wreckage of the plane, prompting identification efforts using DNA and fingerprints. There were significant challenges to both the fingerprint and DNA analyses. The hand was badly desiccated, making fingerprint friction‐ridge detail almost invisible and the remains had been embalmed upon discovery, making DNA amplification difficult. We present the results of an interdisciplinary approach that successfully addressed these challenges and ultimately led to the identification of the remains. These efforts relied on efficient fingerprint rejuvenation and imaging techniques that improved print resolution, as well as new DNA extraction techniques optimized for aggressively embalmed remains.     

当代海外越南人的分布与发展状况研究

从20世纪70年代中期后,海外越南人人数激增,分布日广,约2/3取得所在国的国籍,形成一个有一定影响的越裔族群,并以不同形式参与祖籍国的建设。越南政府实行较为宽松的国籍政策,保护海外越南人在国内外的正当权利,鼓励他们为家乡和祖国服务,使之成为越南经济社会发展的重要外部资源。     

论先秦哲学与古希腊哲学的相通与相融

先秦哲学和古希腊哲学分别处于中国和西方哲学发展史上源头活水的地位,虽然两者在产生和发展上有很大的不同,但其在致思取向和架构社会上仍有很多的相通相融之处：老子和赫拉克利特分别用“道”和“逻各斯”作为万事万物的本源,旨在寻找一种囊括宇宙万有的概念;孔子和苏格拉底分别使用“仁”与“德性”、“知”与“知识”等概念,来表达相似的道德主张和人生价值;荀子的“明分使群”社会建构观念与柏拉图的“分而治之”的理想国理念,均渗透着既“分”且“一”的社会和谐观等。研究中国先秦哲学和古希腊哲学的相通相融之处,寻找两者共同具有的普世价值,有助于促进中西文化交流,加深中西文化的相互理解。
