平等的追寻与背离——德沃金平等思想探微

在对罗尔斯正义理论进行修正和超越的基础上,德沃金提出了资源平等理论。该理论着重区分了造成不平等的主观、客观因素以及实现分配平等的责任归属和实施方案。德沃金平等思想的根本目的是为了寻求更大的平等,结果却背离了平等的目标,容忍了更大程度的不平等,陷入了理论自身的悖论之中。     

现代中国文学的几大问题

“现代性”改造问题是现代中国文学理论和创作实践始终没有得到很好解决的一个核心,由此造成了现代中国文学发展中的三大突出问题:第一,现代中国文学这一称谓并没有名副其实;第二,文学主体的现代思想与现代意识的欠缺是造成文学客体现代质素稀薄的根源,而文学主体现代性意识的构建又不是短期内可以实现的;第三,在当下意识形态多元化的现代社会中,现代性意识形态相对薄弱,由此造成了现代中国文学发展的巨大困境。当然,随着市场经济体制的构建,包括自由、竞争、民主、平等、人本等现代质素的日益培育成长,这些条件为现代中国文学的复兴提供了可能。     

消费主义：人的生存悖论及其扬弃

消费主义的盛行,在一定意义上促进了生产的迅猛发展,带来社会物质财富的巨大增长,提高了人的生活质量,但也使人自身由于追求无止境的满足感而深陷生存焦虑和压力,即＂人为物所役＂;无止境的消费欲求在推动生产发展的同时,也恶化了人的生存环境,从而造成了人生存的悖论。在消费问题上,作为个体的人只有从＂类意识＂出发,理性消费,以促进人的全面自由发展为目的,才能够扬弃生存悖论,创造和谐美好的生活。     

传统规律观的理论困境分析

传统规律观的立论基础是以牛顿力学为代表的近代经典科学，其理论内涵不可避免地具有时代的局限性和滞后性，所面临的理论困境日益凸显；传统规律概念的界定，偏重事物的内部联系，一定程度地忽视了事物的外部联系，使之走向绝对和机械；由此产生了传统规律范畴的先验性、宿命性悖论，并且衍生出人类真理认识上的悖论。     

The architecture of the Electoral College,the House size effect,and the referendum paradox

Using data from U.S. presidential elections, we show how seemingly insignificant changes to what we call the “architecture” of the Electoral College can cause different candidates to be elected President, even when no one changes how they vote. We consider varying the size of the House of Representatives, the method of apportionment, the number of “Senate” electoral votes cast by each state, and the lower bound on the number of “House” electoral votes cast by each state. We consider, in particular, elections with a “referendum paradox”. In these elections, the electoral vote winner is not the popular vote winner. Our work extends Neubauer and Zeitlin (2003) who analyzed the case of the 2000 election. We give an explanation for the effects that we observe in the data.     

论经济法与行政法划分悖论的破解——以“第四部门”和社会中间层为突破口

经济法与行政法的关系向来存在一个分与合均两难的悖论;一方面经济法学者无法令人信服地将二者划分开来,而另一方面经济行政法论的主张者也无法解释二者之间诸多的差异.传统经济法理论以行政机关作为干预主体,借行政权干预经济是造成这一悖论的深层根源.新兴的"第四部门"和社会中间层提供了更优的干预主体选择,同时也为悖论的破解提供了一个突破口.

Racial Inequality,Ethnic Inequality,and the System Involvement of At-Risk Youth: Implications for the Racial Invariance and Latino Paradox Theses

Drawing from the inequality and crime, racial invariance, and Latino paradox literatures, the effects of inequality on youth reoffending are examined. Specifically, hierarchical logistic regression models are estimated to determine: (1) whether racial and ethnic inequality have similar contextual effects on the continued delinquent behavior of at-risk youth and (2) whether these effects are specific to black or Latino/a youth residing in Maricopa County, Arizona (N = 13,138). Findings suggest that racial inequality increases reoffending while ethnic inequality decreases reoffending. Additionally, Latino/a youth are less likely to reoffend in areas characterized by high income and racial inequality. Structural theories of crime should continue to account for the importance of culture and the resilient responses employed by Latinos/as living in criminogenic environments.     

公司资本信用悖论

公司信用是无法依赖立法者安排与创设的。欲构筑公司信用的参与人 ,有内在动因经由公司法之内或之外的规则安排 ,展示自己的信用。而试图探询交易对方信用的参与人 ,有内在渴求在公司法制度之内或之外 ,达致自己的目标。立法者的使命就是创设一个空间 ,给前者一个自由安排或彰显自己信用的选择权 ,给后者一个多渠道获取信息的管道。     

A Closer Look at the Paradox: Examining Immigration and Youth Reoffending in Arizona

The bulk of existing research on immigration and crime suggests that, counter to a number of theoretical perspectives and overall public and political opinion, indicators of immigration are either unrelated or negatively related to criminal behavior. Notably absent from this line of research is assessments of the impact of immigration on the social outcomes of ex-offenders and youth. Youthful ex-offenders in particular represent a vulnerable population that could be expected to benefit most from the protective effects of immigration as identified in the literature. Accordingly, in the present study we determine the importance of concentrated immigration (net of individual-level factors) in reoffending for a sample of previously arrested youth in the state of Arizona. In addition, we examine whether the effects of immigration on reoffending behavior are contingent on the individual characteristics (e.g. race, ethnicity, and gender) of youth. The implications for the ongoing theoretical, empirical, and policy debates surrounding immigration and crime are discussed.
