French Enlightenment: truth and life

This paper considers the relations of truth, life and norm in the work of Georges Canguilhem and Michel Foucault argued that in France it was in the philosophy of science that one finds the clearest formulations of the problems of rationality and the sovereignty of reason. This distintive confrontation can be termed French Modern. For Canguilhem, an ontological and existential pathos arose from the fact that living beings were fated to struggle in the face of circumstances. For Foucault, this ontology became historical and political. For both, the key question was the relationship between life itself and the understanding of life. The paper concludes by reflecting upon some implications of the ways in which the relation between life and lived experience is posed today.     

Do As I Did Not As I Say: Blair,New Labour and Party Traditions

Corbynism, to its internal critics, is a ‘hard left’ anachronism. New Labour, to its detractors, was basically Thatcherism. We argue that these meta narratives, critical to internal identity, are flawed. They are pulling the party apart for reasons of political strength and at the expense both of broader interpretation and longer-term cohesion. Through an analysis of ‘early’ New Labour, we show that how Blair’s project ended is not how it began, and therefore isn’t the whole story. The now half-forgotten history of New Labour in opposition holds important lessons, including for those trying—for the most part unsuccessfully—to keep the ‘modernising’ flame alive. If the modernisers are to win more converts to their cause they must learn to do what Blair and New Labour did in opposition and not what Blair says today. Drawing on the concept of Labour’s ‘ethos’, we offer five lessons from the party’s past.

网络民族主义概念辨析

自上世纪90年代后期在虚拟网络空间中诞生并发展以来,网络民族主义受到各方面的关注,目前存在将网络民族主义等同于狭隘的极端民族主义,认为网络民族主义是传统民族主义在网络中的表现,网络民族主义是网络时代背景下脱胎于旧有民族主义的全新社会思潮,网络民族主义是网络与民族主义的有机融合等观点。目前网络民族主义正逐步趋于理性化,它依托互联网的传播特征,对传统民族主义、爱国主义,甚至极端民族主义、民粹主义等思想进行有机整合,并具有区别于传统媒体下思想的鲜明特色。     

李大钊早期传播马克思主义的再探讨

五四前后李大钊通过办报办刊、发表论著、组织社团、办学讲课、演讲辩论等方式向中国民众传播了马克思主义。他早年对马克思主义的研究和宣传主要涵盖了四方面内容：揭露了帝国主义的本质,阐述了十月革命的伟大意义;较系统地论述了马克思主义理论的基本内容;正确论述了中国革命的一些基本问题,如革命的步骤、手段、动力等等;号召学生和知识分子走与工农相结合的道路。这些杰出的思想主张形成了他早年的理论特色。当然,李大钊对马克思主义的最初理解也存在着一些不准确之处,这种认识偏差是与当时他所处的环境和背景分不开的。李大钊的可贵之处在于其思想随着社会的进步不断发展,并及时将先进的科学理论运用于中国社会变革的实践。     

Character-building and freedom in education

Educators, parents, and policy-makers in the United States, as in other countries, are concerned about the apparent inability of many schools to contribute to the development of character and civic virtue in their pupils. The answer, experience shows, is not for government to require a pedagogy of state-defined character education which, in a pluralistic society, would inevitably create new conflicts. Instead, education policy should take advantage of the growing interest on the part of educators in creating autonomous, distinctive schools, and the continuing interest, on the part of parents, in being able to choose what school their children will attend. Schools which exhibit a distinctive character based upon a shared understanding of the goals of education are effective not only in teaching academics but also in developing positive character traits in their pupils. Charter schools and educational vouchers are two means of encouraging and supporting such coherent schools. The article concludes with a series of policy recommendations designed to balance the autonomy of schools against the need for public accountability.

多元社会思潮与意识形态危机——苏联政治悲剧的历史反思

自20世纪80年代开始,苏共领导人逐步背叛马克思列宁主义,错误抛出自由化改革,引发非马克思主义社会思潮泛滥,导致意识形态全线崩溃。以"公开性、多元论"为特征的民主社会主义思潮动摇了马列主义理论基石,信奉"市场万能"的新自由主义思潮摧毁社会主义经济基础,"为历史翻案"的历史虚无主义思潮扭曲苏联共产党形象,鼓吹"大俄罗斯"的民族沙文主义思潮引发苏联国家认同危机。多元社会思潮的催化剂效应,导致社会主义制度的政治合法性全线崩溃,最终瓦解了苏共,毁灭了苏联。苏共在处理多元社会思潮问题上的教训十分深刻,对我党的意识形态建设具有重要的警示与启发意义。
