The Research Area and Methodology for Phenomenology of Mind and Nature

Ni Liang-kang

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 1-8.

Abstract （1406）

HTML （16）

PDF （1853KB）（578）

“The phenomenology of mind and nature” contains two aspects. One is that it takes consciousness and its essence as its study object; in other words, it is concerned with “mind and nature” in content. And the other is that it takes phenomenological structural descriptions and genetic expositions as its basic approaches. That is to say, it is concerned with “phenomenological” in methodology. The main task of mind-nature phenomenology aims at grasping the essential connection between consciousness’ essential and other factors through reflections and ideation. Such an essential connection means a kind of connection of essential factors in their static structure, and also their connections in the genetic history. Correspondingly, the method of horizontal or vertical essential intuition is employed.

Tang Hai-yan;Jia De-kui &Bi Yu-jiang

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 16-23.

Abstract （1389）

HTML （15）

PDF （1723KB）（299）

The international environment in the post-crisis era is favorable for accelerating the transformation speed of China’s foreign economic development mode. Those pivotal restrictive factors that have blocked the transformation process are structurally unbalanced, lack of innovation abilities, faulty economic mechanisms and interactions among them. This paper argues that it is feasible to build an integrated evaluation system to judge the transformation extent. It is important to guarantee the transformation process by building a relative risk warning system. The foreign economic transformation process should follow scientific general principles and systemic countermeasures. China should transform its foreign economic development from a traditional outside depended and extensive mode into a balanced, comprehensive and intensive mode.

The Mutually Complement-oriented Development Strategy and Policies of China’s Domestic and Foreign Demands

Zhou Lian-shi

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 32-38.

Abstract （1279）

HTML （14）

PDF （2211KB）（335）

The negative effect of the export-oriented strategy carried out in our country for a quite long time is ever appearing, while the negative effect of the domestic demand-oriented strategy is also obvious. However, the domestic-foreign demand mutually complement-oriented development strategy may avoid these shortcomings of the above-mentioned two strategies so as to ensure fulfilling the multi-targets of economic security and overall growth and employment increase. Being fit for the national circumstances, it should be a correct selection for the long-term national foreign economic development strategy. Consequently, it is necessary to construct a more specific and comprehensive system of economic policies, based on the macro economic policy model designed by Jan Tinbergen, to guarantee a realization of the national domestic-foreign demand complement-oriented strategy.

The Source of China’s Expected Inflationary Uncertainty and Its Impact on Macro Economy

Su Zhi-fang

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 39-47.

Abstract （1563）

HTML （14）

PDF （2099KB）（429）

To measure reasonably inflation uncertainty and identify properly its sources have great policy implication for the government to manage effectively inflation expectation. This paper applies time-varying parameter model with Markov regime switching Heteroskedasticity to decompose inflation uncertainty into structural uncertainty and impulse uncertainty, and to investigate which one is dominant, then to test their impact on the volatility of macroeconomic. The result shows that impulse uncertainty played the dominant role and the structural one decreased after 1996, which can be well explained by the traits of the economic transformation, the evolvement of macro-control and the external shocks. And the further analysis finds that different sources of inflation uncertainty have different impacts on macroeconomic activities. Further analysis find impulse uncertainty increases the volatility of output growth. However structural uncertainty slows down the volatility of output growth, but this effect is not obvious.

Critique of Dogmatism, Logic and Dialectical Argument ——Fengqi’s exploration

JIN Rong-dong

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 48-54.

Abstract （1639）

HTML （14）

PDF （1776KB）（382）

Fengqi reveals that one of weaknesses of dogmatism lies in its neglect of the intersubjective dimension of thinking and the debates among opinions as the basic approach to truth, and makes a proposal of criticizing dogmatism through developing logic and emphasizing logical argument. Even though his understanding of logic is still restricted to the frame of subjective-objective relationship and the essential principles of methodology of his own cannot effectively overcome the weakness of dogmatism, Fengqi’s attempt to trace dialectic in Hegelian and Marxist sense back to dialectic as the art of argumentation, and the theoretical potentiality of the concept of dialectical argument show that there is a possibility of making his proposal be more fruitful.

A Study on the Theory of Value: From Zhang Dai-nian to Feng Qi

Liu Jing-fang

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 55-60.

Abstract （1450）

HTML （17）

PDF （1704KB）（248）

The intellectual circles generally agree to such a view that axiological studies started from the 1980s in China. In a sense this assertion ignores some philosophers’ efforts. They started their philosophical inquiries as early as in the 1930s, stressing traditional Chinese philosophy and meanwhile approving of Marxism. In the 1930s and 1940s, indeed, Zhang Dai-nian put forth his original viewpoints around the nature, structure and standard of value. Owing to the epochal limitations, his views remained lopsided, which was later rectified to a certain extent by Feng Qi.

Exploiting the Philosophical Origin of the Binding Force of Contracts

Chen Rong

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 61-69.

Abstract （1381）

HTML （17）

PDF （1743KB）（371）

The concept of Causa in Civil Law system originated in ancient Roman law. In the 14th century, the Commentators found the general theory of Causa when interpreting the texts of Roman law through Aristotelian and Thomistic philosophical conceptions. In 16th century, late scholastics achieved the synthesis between Roman law and Aristotelian and Thomistic moral philosophy. They concluded that the promises are enforceable if they are made for the virtues of liberty and commutative justice. The insufficiency of modern contract theory implies the philosophical advantage of the doctrine of Causa. Legal science can not be isolated from philosophy. Laws should be rooted in moral, improve human virtue, and reflect the multiple pursuits in promises.

Economic Analysis of Evolution of Liabilities for Damage

WANG Yi &HUANG Yong-feng

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 70-76.

Abstract （1446）

HTML （12）

PDF （1774KB）（358）

Ownership of the right to revenge is the most important constraint faced by people when society is to choose the form of liability for harm. The evolution of liabilities accompanies the confirmation of the right to revenge, which facilitates the exchange between perpetrators and victims. The shift from private relief to public relief reflects a transformation to different arrangements in contract for exchange and to different efficiency. Therefore, from the perspective of economic analysis, liabilities are mechanisms adopted to effectuate the exchange between harm and punishment, which takes the right to revenge as the subject matter; the evolution of liabilities in essence equals the development of exchange of the right to revenge.

Yan Fu and the Cultural Transformation of Modern China

Huang ke-wu

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 83-89.

Abstract （1445）

HTML （16）

PDF （1801KB）（520）

This paper takes Yan Fu as an example to investigate the complicated process of cultural transformation in modern China. Yan, who had studied abroad, belonged to the first generation of new intellectuals, but he was also strongly influenced by traditional values and lifestyles, and he displayed certain “anti-enlightenment” features. This paper argues that Yan, influenced by elements of both tradition and modernity, was to a certain extent contradictory and “janus-faced.” Yet he was also consistent in combining his modernizing project with his ultimate concerns that derived from Buddhism and Daoism. This case study indicates that Chinese modernizing intellectuals searched for Western ideas while at the same time they did not completely reject Chinese tradition. Their ideal was to combine the strengths of China and the West in order to establish a China which transcended Western modernity.

On the Historical Changes of Gentry’s Right in the Late Qing Dynasty

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 95-102.

Abstract （1501）

HTML （13）

PDF （1853KB）（366）

In the early Qing Dynasty, the gentry’s right was suppressed. In the following 200 years, the gentries in their hometown were adapted to the norms of state power, thus most of them can not arouse trouble among the local people. After the Taiping Movement started from Southeast China, in order to defend the territory, the local officials had to recruit soldiers and raise their provisions. All these things had to be done by the gentries, inevitably it brought about the rising of gentry’s right with the help of state power. In the following 50 years, the newly increased right of the gentries on the one hand cooperated with the government, on the other hand confronted with the government. With the pouring of Western Study trend and changing of traditional society, the old term of gentry’s right got its new significance.

Imperial Examination System, the GongMing concept and Society of Knowledge People in Near-Modern China

Shen jie

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 103-112.

Abstract （1811）

HTML （10）

PDF （1815KB）（383）

The Imperial Examination System was the most important approach to Identity, Fortune and Prospect for the intellectuals in the history of traditional China. The GongMing concept dominated the fate of the intellectuals and derived its effect to the entire community, which turned into a kind of collective unconsciousness. The GongMing concept had a broad impact even after 1905 when the Imperial Examination System was abolished. For this reason, the Imperial Government developed the system of awarding degrees, which guaranteed the continuation of the incentive economy. The GongMing concept had a lasting influence in the Times of the Republic of China. Based on the diversification of the GongMing concept, this paper analyses the multiple aspect of Society of Knowledge People in Near-Modern China and its long-standing affect. By means of depicting the vicissitude of the GongMing concept, the paper goes on to explain the complex history of knowledge transition and the dilemma of institutional change in modern China.

Based on the theory of hierarchical network of concepts (HNC), this paper makes an analysis of the significance of extension from theoretical studies on language information processing to studies on language processing through a discussion of “space” and “concept”, expounds the lexicon planar extension pattern, and tries to link up the conceptual expression in HNC and the structural expression of word meaning primitives in the theory of “synset-allolex”. In engineering such an extension shows a semantic network construction with techniques of language information processing, and in theory it may be generalized as the mapping from space of concept primitives to space of word meaning primitives

A Study on Constitutions of the Chinese Directive Speech Act

Fan Xiao-ling

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (1): 144-149.

Abstract （1370）

HTML （11）

PDF （1699KB）（417）

The directive speech act is very important in a speech act. Finding its distinctive elements is the most important thing. There are three distinctive elements between directive speech act and non-directive speech act: intention, state and relationship of the speaker and listener. Meanwhile the forms of a directive speech act depend on how to handle the “discourse power”: stressing the speaker’s discourse power, stressing the listener’s discourse power or suspending the discourse power. There are different levels in the illocutionary force of a directive speech act, and the force level is not relevant to whether the directive speech is direct or not. An indirect directive act in a threat form is much stronger than a direct directive act.

What Is the History of Ideas?

GAO Rui-quan

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (2): 1-10.

Abstract （1541）

HTML （23）

The history of ideas, aiming at studying some key ideas’ generation and development in human spiritual changes, is a part of human beings’ efforts to know themselves. Its task is to seek for true ideas, including truth of the idea content, consistency between the idea user’s actual belief and attitude implied in the idea, and real vitality of the idea pushing social actions forward. The history of ideas deals with not only the structure of thought but also its process, and focuses on not only the issue of how people should think but also how to think in reality. How to deal with the relation of “thought” to “history” is concerned with vertically how to solve the issue of the idea’s genesis and social rootedness, and horizontally how to find out the location of a certain idea in its contemporary idea family tree and the connection between the idea history and other academic studies. The history of ideas is never a chronological history which merely narrates “idea units”. The critical history of ideas pays close attention to various elements coming from the history of civilization, and the method of pedigree is equally important like logical analysis.

The Linguistic Context Change as a Solution to Paradoxes

JIA Guo-heng

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (2): 11-16.

Abstract （1384）

HTML （20）

The solution to a paradox should expound laws of a true or false paradox, but not determine whether it is specifically true or false. The linguistic contextual change solution is a new solution to a paradox. Differing from a traditional solution, it focuses on mutual relations of meaning and true value both in a normal sentence and in a paradoxical sentence so as to solve a paradox. Such a solution is closely in accordance with people’s intuition and has a natural advantage.

Abstract （1280）

HTML （19）

Paraconsistent logic is a non-classical logic which can embrace a “contradiction”. Such a contradiction is called as a “true contradiction”. According to paraconsistent logic, a logical paradox is a “true contradiction”, which can be accepted by its system. As a solution to a paradox, paraconsistent logic cuts off disadvantageous effects of a paradox on the system. The paradoxical solution in the sense of isolation is important in reality and has a value of philosophy of logic.

Abstract （1270）

If the events such as the son screen for the father from blame be properly understood, they must be under the Chinese culture of filial piety. The son who screen for the father from blame is to safeguard the feelings between the father and the son or to realize filial duty and the behavior of the son is determined by the emotion to the father. Confucius paid the same attention to “screen” and “advise”, but the later ages only inherit “screen”. Therefore the behavior of the son is going to an extreme.

Seeking for “Harmony”: The Chinese Traditional Medical Theory in a Perspective of Traditional Philosophy

Abstract （1351）

HTML （19）

Being a quite special philosophical idea in traditional Chinese culture, “harmony” has become one of Chinese nation’s inherent values and loft ideals. The traditional Chinese medical studies, emerging from traditional culture, all penetrate the idea of “harmony”, which finds expression in harmony of life and spirit, harmony of various parts within human body, and harmony of human beings and nature. The loss of harmony is a fundamental cause for disease, and the target of treatment aims at harmony. All these doctrines have developed into a complete system and become key principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

The Emergence of Liberalism in China and Its Significance in the Period of after World War II

ZHANG Qing

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (2): 37-47.

Abstract （1484）

HTML （18）

In the period of after World War II the Chinese evolution of liberalism does have its points worth to be focused. There were quite a few magazines marked with a "liberalism" footing, and many monographs discussing "liberty" and "liberalism" were published. Furthermore, "liberalism" also emerged as a political force, in addition to a group of intellectuals’ objective. In fact, as a political discourse, the question of "what is liberalism" or "where liberalism can go" began to be discussed widely after the war. It is hard to imagine that the real history of China’s liberalism could be re-constructed without addressing the above facts. Obviously, a clearer "picture of thoughts" about "China’s liberalism" can be attained when it is put into a longer history of modern Chinese thoughts. The fact that the understanding of China’s liberalisms falls into the pursuit of "justification" actually reflects those problems puzzling people’s efforts to describe "liberalism" in the Chinese-speaking world.

The Fund Raising for Local “New Government” in Zhejiang Province during the Late Qing Dynasty

HOU Peng

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (2): 48-55.

Abstract （1206）

HTML （16）

In the late Qing Dynasty a wide range of fund-raising activities were carried out in every province for implementation of local “new government and policy”. With varieties of the tax source and diversity of tax-collectors, those activities cause reorganizations of the local authority structure. In Zhejiang Province the fund-raising was used for local education and police force. Its source of income included various contributions and some official subsidies. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the whole activity did not form a complete specification of payments. A study on such an event can help us examine social influences of "New Policy" in the late Qing in a more geographical detail.

The Little Mysterious Folk Shorthand Writing – “Hua Shu”

QIU Jian-li &LI Xue-chang

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (2): 56-64.

Abstract （1723）

HTML （17）

“Hua Shu” (dazzling numeral and character symbols) is a special series of numbers and words used by some accountants who were either in charge of dealing in farmland or collecting land rental for landowners in the region of Suzhou from the Ming and Qing dynasty to the Republic of China. “Hua Shu” consists of “numbers” and “characters”：the numbers here refer to the Suzhou numerals and Chinese numbers in figure while the “characters” here refer to a set of symbols of measurement which indicate farmland unit of area and capacity of rental grain, as well as monetary unit. Taking scripts clipped from rental books in Suzhou and Shanghai archives, deciphering and identifying them word by word, this paper argues that “Hua Shu” is a set of shorthand notations rather than a set of secret marks, and that it is very easy and simple to learn and to write.

By testing a Chinese time-honored brand through a survey sample data of three cities in China, it is found that the salient perception of “humanity” moderates the effects of perceived quality of extension on the feedback evaluation to family brand beliefs, whereas a salient perception of “vogue” moderates effects of the perceived quality of extension on the brand extension typicality. The brand extension strategy of Shanghai Guan Sheng Yuan Group and its implications for the image re-building of Chinese old brands are also discussed.

It is a former Soviet Union Marxist-Leninist essayists’ one-sidedness to explain the Marxist view of literature merely as a realistic view. In order to restore its original features it is necessary to clarify its philosophical perspectives of history and other relevant issues. F. Engels has used some terms of the Marxist philosophy of history in the theory of literature and taken aesthetical and historical criticisms as the highest criteria. Through a clarification of historical visions of the Marxist outlook on literature, we may further describe its core of “world literature” and major theoretical constituents.

During the period of New Democratic Revolution the subject of Marxist faith had an expansion from the minority advanced people to whole revolutionary class. During the period from the founding of PRC to the “Great Cultural Revolution” it went through a transformation from rational to irrational. Sine the period of reform and opening up it has displayed a complicated ascendance. On the whole the Marxist faith in China presents a fine interaction between innovation of faith object and rationality of faith subject.

The term of “south of the Yangtze River” in history was full of cultural and ideological resources and yet shortage of a modern scientific definition, while the “identity of south of the Yangtze River” was a concept derived from influential cultural materials and various images. In a transitive process from a political to cultural identity, literature tended to play a great role. The cognitive identity of south of the Yangtze River took shape during the period of Southern and Northern dynasties, and meanwhile the identity of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River did not disappear. They both have always coexisted and affected each other.

Abstract （1279）

Real estate is either essential material for production and living or expensive investment goods. This paper discloses that renters of real estate are virtually real estate investors, and the core role of modern real estate industry is a result of evolutions of labor division. This research discovers that renters of real estate have a substitution effect for real estate investment by transferring direct investment on real estate to investment on real estate leasing companies. This paper points out that this effect helps to abate a conflict between supply and demand on real estate asset market, increase effective real estate service supply, form real estate tenure choice mechanism, and make sense for solving the problem of too fast increasing of housing price and high empty rate of sold residential real estate in China.

The Critical Spirit of Taoist School

Feng Dawen

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (3): 1-8.

Abstract （1411）

HTML （23）

Taoists concern deeply with the separation of human being from the cosmos, the social and political disputes and the splitting of the Art of Tao. The separation of human being from the cosmos results from anthropologically subjective impulse which tries to break away from its natural rootedness. Human being becomes more and more strange with the cosmos, and loses its basis of existence gradually. The separation of human being from the cosmos also results from the enlightenment of mentality and the invention of tool. Social progress and civilization bring tragic fate to human being at last! Laozi criticizes the progress and civilization based on cosmology, and constructs his social idea of “Back to Nature”; whereas Zhuangzi introduces his “consciousness of absurdity” and “art of life” based on the reflection of the validity of human cognition.

On Tang Chun-i’s Theory of “Idealistic World”

Hu Yan

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (3): 16-21.

Abstract （1588）

HTML （21）

Tang Chun-i’s view of nature, i.e. a theory of the relation between self and nature, has been at least slightly neglected by researchers, but it is undoubtedly rather important to understand Tang’s idealism. Tang’s viewpoint about it contains three parts. Concerning ontologically, he holds there is a thing-in-itself, it can be transformed into humanized nature as mental activity; Epistemologically, the order of nature is mainly derived from the manners of mental activity, simultaneously he transfers the knowledge of nature into the knowledge of mind; In discussing the value theory, he reduces principally natural value to ego’s needs, and he also regards self as soul. Given mentioned above, Tang’s view on idealistic world emphasizes the role of mind too excessively, while he doesn’t grasp exactly the relation between self and nature .Therefore, Tang would not be aware of the character of ideal self completely. It confines, to a great extent, his constitution on self which would be conformed with the times.

Abstract （1757）

HTML （24）

Social justice is related closely to social minimum, and it is unimaginable for social justice without social minimum. In his A Theory of Justice, John Rawls proposes a theory of social justice that has a conception of social minimum, which is different from the conception of utilitarian social minimum. Firstly, John Rawls’ conception of social minimum is based on the principles of justice, while the social minimum of utilitarianism is based on human needs; Secondly, John Rawls’ social minimum is a kind of institution, and the social minimum of utilitarianism is a kind of principle; Finally, a social minimum is indeed related to human needs, but human needs may be defined by the citizenship of persons.

The Contrast between Classical Ideas of Dignity and Modern Ideas of Dignity

ZHANG Rong-nan

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (3): 28-33.

Abstract （1238）

HTML （21）

The Idea of dignity is at the core of western moral philosophy. In the history of western philosophy, it is generally thought that the best account of dignity was expressed by Kant. But actually Aristotle did interpret his idea of dignity thousands of years ago. Either Aristotle or Kant interpreted dignity based on their understandings of human nature. But modern moral philosophy not only changes the requirement of human nature but shift the emphasis of the question on social respect and recognition of human being. Behind that shift there are deep philosophical reasons. I will explain these reasons by our new understanding of autonomy, as well as the challenge of identity politics come with value pluralism.

Trapped between chances and dilemmas, movie actresses tried their best to struggle for a better life. They reshaped their identity and developed their own agencies.

Abstract （1225）

Prize-winning American drama Doubt: A Parable begins like a detective story. The heroine Aloysius suspects that Father Flynn of her church school is molesting underage black student Donald and conscientiously conducts an investigation. However, the mystery ends nowhere near a detective story. Such an unprecedented exploration of a sinning body urges the viewer to observe it in a different light and suggests that the burdensome body may be more enlightening than blindfolding, that sinning body seems to be able to cause noble charity, hence doubts about established definitions of “sin” and crime, and that since some “noble” charitable activities might originate in the sinfulness of the flesh, we might as well doubt the nobility of charity.

In the history of Chinese and Japanese literary exchanges the classical Chinese poetry had a great and obvious influence upon the Japanese poetry written in Chinese, and meanwhile the “students” also had a more or less “repay” to their “teachers” with their homework. This seems to be a phenomenon of “adverse import”. In the viewpoint of two-way interactions in cultural exchanges, the history of Japanese Chinese-written poetry spreading into China can be comprehensively described and commentated so as to find out some “adverse feedbacks” in literary circles. It provides a new perspective of recognition for openness of Chinese literature.

Yet, many challenges from Kevin Rudd’s political apology have suggested that the road to racial reconciliation will not be smooth

During the formation and development of Russian Empire the foremost condition was to expand its space, which was also one of core factors to maintain its operation. Furthermore, the security of its empire was also guaranteed by controlling space. From Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union to Russia today, they share one common feature that the operation of the nation is maintained and safeguarded through space expansion; however, there are also differences. Tsarist controlled its space only by territorial expansion and the Soviet Union used an ideological expansion, while Russia today is making sure of the post-Soviet CIS area as its particular interest and expanding the regional security organization to assure its security.

In response to Buddhist criticisms Taoism drew up some Buddhist thinking modes and made use of relevant Buddhist important concepts, thus elevating its own interpretations of the statement to a higher level of “stressing Mysterious Metaphysical Learning” and enhancing its theoretical speculation. Meanwhile, Buddhism deepened its explanations of the statement, trying to merge its own ideas with Taoist ideas.

The scientific level of party building is affected and restricted by the degree of intra-Party democracy. In history and reality the Party's understanding of intra-Party democracy has been constantly intensified with historical evolutions of revolution, construction and reform. And also, there have been many important ideas of building up intra-Party democracy, in theory as well as in practice. From the elements of Party life, democracy and science are closely linked. The mechanism of their relationships shows an internal unity of promoting intra-Party democracy and making Party building more scientific. And from the goals of building a Marxist ruling party, the intra-Party democracy and scientific Party building are also consistent. The only way to improve the scientific level of Party building is to promote intra-Party democracy. They are all the requirements of building a Marxist ruling party. To make Party building more scientific, it requires building intra-Party democracy within the precondition of Party development, forming scientific ideas of intra-Party democracy, improving scientific methods of intra-Party democracy and institutionalizing the intra-Party democracy building.

Impacts of Inflation and Real Estate Prices on Real Economy
----An Analysis Based on the DSGE Model of Different Monetary Policy Rules

LI Wei, ZHANG Zhi-Chao

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (4): 82-94.

Abstract （2379）

HTML （102）

PDF （450KB）（2692）

This paper tries to apply the DSGE model, while introducing sticky prices and credit constraints, to analyze impacts of different monetary policy rules, inflation and real estate prices on the real economy. The results suggest: (1) When the tightening monetary policy shocks once occur, the output, consumptive demand, investment and credit lending will show a certain degree of decline. And if the monetary policy takes consideration of the real estate price, the shocks on the real economy will be relatively weak. (2) If the expansive Taylor rule (taking the real estate price factor into account) is implemented, the impact of inflation on the real economy will become more favorable. At the same time, the modest declining of the real estate price will help the real economy to sustain healthy and stable development. So the macro-authority should implement the monetary policy dominated by the expansive Taylor rule, remain relatively modest inflation and prevent the real estate market price volatility so as to effectively circumvent the potential impact of financial risk on the real economy. Finally the authorities should focus on shock differences and complexities of all kinds of macro-economic variables and find an optimal instant to introduce desirable macro-controlled measures.

A Study on Marx’ Innovations of the Inflation Theory and Their Realistic Value

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (4): 102-107.

Abstract （3179）

HTML （179）

PDF （363KB）（2937）

Compared to the classical quantity theory of money putting currency in circulation as the only factor to cause inflation, Marx believes that accelerating the velocity of money is one of the reasons leading to inflation, and distinguishing the changes in value of its currency by currency devaluation or a relative depreciation is a key to formulate policy of controlling inflation. From the recent situation, the endogenous theory of money supply is more in line with China's reality. Therefore, based on the logic of the endogenous money supply and causes of inflation, China's current basic idea of controlling inflation is setting the demand of money in circulation as the target, while strictly controlling money supply to match with demand, making the central bank play a fundamental role in controlling money, and supplementing with necessary administrative means.

According to recent researches on movie images the image thinking indicates that “thinking through the visual’ is an important part of human thinking and a most active part of creative thinking. In the digital age of technology language thinking and image thinking are complementary, and the image thinking characterized by intuition and adhesive thinking mode is becoming more valuable. Therefore, taking the study on thinking into the area of film research is a necessary extension of film research in new historical conditions, and also an important step for the development of creative thinking under the spread circumstances of multimedia

Since the twentieth century in reflections of the classical liberal theory of democracy the elitist theory of democracy, the pluralistic theory of democracy and the theory of participation in democracy all have developed their various understandings of democracy, including preventing autocracy and rejuvenating participation. According to classical liberalism, media has three roles, namely, information, representation and watchdog. Those theories of democracy have different understandings and demands of media, but on the whole they have not yet departed from the classical liberal theory of democracy.

The title inscriptions on statues are generally concerning blessing and retribution. The plain vernacular words, majority of which has no verification, are combined with varied Buddhist vocabularies. At the same time, the puzzling characters on stone tablets need interpretations. The textual research of those words not only benefits interpreting and utilizing this type of literature, but also supplements and corrects errors or omissions in relevant materials.

Reflection and Transcendence ----A Review of Studies on Radicalism

ZHU Jing

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (4): 141-151.

Abstract （1818）

HTML （1）

PDF （446KB）（2052）

The reflection of radicalism during the period from 1980s to 1990s was a product of a series of social and political changes, and also a result of New Enlightenment’s logical extension. Disputes of radicalism are mainly concerned with: definitions of radical and conservative concepts and their places in the history of modern China, revolution or farewell to revolution, recognition of radically opposing traditionalism during the May Fourth Movement, and causes for unchecked spread of radicalism. The two sides of disputes have major differences in their epistemological foundations and in their ideological preconditions about Chinese social transitions. To go beyond the debates over radical and conservative, it is necessary to return them to their original state according to historicism, and meanwhile to realize a dynamic equilibrium between them both under the conditioning of conservative liberalism.

Religion, Society and Power——A Sociological Analysis of “the Market Theory of Religion”

At the macro level, Stark’s market theory of religion not only analyzes religious phenomenon and religious activities, but also involves multiple and complex interactions among nation, religion, individual beliefs, society, politics and so on. Beyond these, the implicit analysis of the “churchstate relationship” deeply criticizes all disadvantages coming with religious regulations, which provides useful references and ideas for the management and development of religion in the current Chinese society.

The Religion in a Civic Society: A Study on Robert Wuthnow’s Model of Multidimensional Analysis

HUANG Hai-Bo

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (5): 8-14.

Abstract （1309）

HTML （10）

PDF （1583KB）（1607）

To analyze religion in the perspective of civil society is an important progress in Western sociology of religion since the 1980s. Disagreeing with political analyses in the area, Robert Wuthnow advocates a multidimensional analysis on this issue. His framework includes: dimensions of politics and economy which compose external pressures on the civil society; the dimensions of diversity and community which challenge the civil society from the inside. Robert Wuthnow studies roles and consequences of religion as an element of civil society, when replying to these challenges and pressures. It is regretted that we haven't paid enough attention to this important scholar's theory and thought. This paper tries to make a relatively complete comment on Robert Wuthnow's studies of religion and civil society, thus providing rich theoretical resources for a further study on Chinese religion and construction of civil society.

PDF （1644KB）（2473）

As a contemporary famous sociologist, Robert Bellah uses his sociology of religion to mainly discuss meanings and functions of religion in the perspective of modernity. On the basis of development of his thinking, it can be divided into four phases: the academic accumulation when he studied in the university; “pessimistic optimism” when he worked in Harvard University; “optimistic pessimism” during the late 1960s; the topic of “postProtestant man” after the 1970s. In detail, he researches the essence of religion, the epistemology of religious study, the relation between religion and modernization, religious evolution, civil religion and reconstruction of American moral ecology. Though there are some studies of Bellah’s theory in Chinese academia, they are still segmented. This article tries to grasp his theory on the whole.

Respecting Different Ways of Life: A Daoist Ethics of Virtue in the Zhuangzi

Abstract （1521）

PDF （1583KB）（2053）

This article attempts to explore the possibility of a virtue ethics in a tradition that has been so far largely neglected by some scholars, Chinese Daoism, by focusing on one of the most important classics in this tradition, the Zhuangzi. It argues that, contrary to a rather common misconception of it as skeptic, relativistic, and therefore empty of any guide to moral life, it presents a solid normative ethics through various stories, and this normative ethics is a virtue ethics. The most important virtue, or trait of character, in such a Daoist virtue ethics, is to show respect for different ways of life, a trait not discussed in any familiar versions of virtue ethics in the West and yet most valuable to the contemporary life in a global and pluralistic society.

There is a tendency to interpret Confucian ethics from the perspective of virtue ethics since its revival in the West. However, this paper suggests that Confucian virtue ethics, in its ideal form, should be a creative synthesis of Western virtue ethics and Confucian ethics as well. Then, after taking a close examination on the entry of “ethics” in Encyclopedia Britannica written by Peter Singer, the paper ventures three arguments against his critiques on virtue ethics. Finally, it argues that there is no gap of IsOught concerning human nature and consequently a theory of human nature can provide an ontological foundation for virtue ethics.

First of all, this article reviews Koyasu Nobukuni’s criticisms of the 21st century’s Taiwan Confucianism in East Asia, as well as Huang Junjie’s discourse on the possibility of EastAsia Confucianism. Based on these, this paper expresses four elementary views on the necessity of Confucianism in East Asia. First, as a kind of crosscultural study, the study of Confucianism in East Asia plays an active role in recognition and reevaluation of Confucianism in Chinese tradition. Second, it is totally necessary when criticizing views on East Asia by imperialists in history, including Chinese Empire and Japanese Empire. Third, the vision of this study plays an important role in helping us deeply understand and reflect politicalcultural history and socialcultural history in East Asia in modern times. Finally, the study of Confucianism can provide an important chance for Confucianism to go to the world and participate in dialogues among civilizations, and provide some helpful thoughts in dealing with globalization problems.

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (5): 54-62.

Abstract （1263）

HTML （3）

PDF （1575KB）（1452）

The purpose of Zhu Xi's theory of cultivation lies in, by removing influences of bad habits, actualizing the original nature in order to ascend the level of personhood to the utmost. Zhu Xi conceives that an old habit retains two dimensions of disposition, namely, a disposition that flows from the “internal factor” and the other that flows from the “external factor”. He also makes an exploration of how to get rid of those old habits. Zhu Xi states that school education and children's education have a positive influence on the personal development. In accordance with views of “behavior theory” and “local philosophy” this paper makes a reinterpretation of Zhu Xi’s idea of removing old habits so as to highlight his theory’s positive influence upon a person’s cultivation of virtues.

In the last decade of the Qing Dynasty there emerged various newstyle social organizations in Shanghai with a general elevation of social members’ “sociable” consciousness.These mass organizations had their different missions, but they tended to “maintain public good” and organized varied activities to develop their own ideas and influences. Consequently, they expanded the urban public life and effected reorganizations of local society. Owing to some subjective and objective factors, these nongovernment social organizations were limited in their development space.

PDF （1648KB）（1663）

Recently, there are a lot of researches on the national day ceremony of the Republic of China. But before the 1911 revolution, China already had a kind of culture of celebrating a memorial day. After the 1900 Boxer Movement, the Qing Dynasty started a political reform, and at that time introduced the Western new political culture according to which all the subject should raise national flags and celebrate the Emperor’s Birthday. On the other hand, Liang Qichao introduced the French Bastille Day and the American Independence Day to China in his article in 1901. Thus, in the 1900s China, it was already popular for the Reformists and Revolutionaries to celebrate such a memorial day for cultivating people’s patriotism. So, these new political cultures, before constructing the identity of the Republican citizen, were expected to construct a new identity of the Imperial subject.

A Study on Yu Mingzhen’s Poems

Abstract （1153）

HTML （3）

PDF （1575KB）（1737）

Yu Mingzhen (Gu’an) was an important poet in the late Qing Dynasty, whose poetry, whether in style, skill, or feeling, was idiosyncratic among the poets of his time. It is generally held that Yu, through studying the Song poet Chen Yuyi (Jianzhai), has attained Du Fu’s style of profound emotion and austere words; however, by analyzing his poems of different contents and at different situations, it is found that his style cannot be exhausted by such a conclusion. His scenery poems, characterized by nuanced depiction of light and shade, are reminiscent of expressionist paintings. Unadorned but colorful, truly emotional but not affectionate, compassionate but not indignant; that is the feeling expressed in his poems. Yu did not establish his own poetic school as Chen Sanli and Zheng Xiaosu did, nor did he produce so many poems as Fan Zengxiang and Yi Shunding; therefore he failed to get such worldly reputation as those contemporary poets. Yet Yu’s poetry, splendidly characteristic, is no less good than theirs; it can be certainly said that his poems will be admired forever. 

Evolutions of the National Concept of Treaty Port Intelligentsia from the Perspective of Shanghai Zhuzhi Ci

Abstract （1299）

Shanghai, in the period of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, was both an area where foreign and Chinese ideas clashed with each other and the country opened its door, but also a prosperous land of zhuzhi ci (a form of literary writing). The geographical location of its treaty port generated a group of “treaty port intelligentsia”. An analysis of those nationalconcept loaded words like “yi” and “yang” in zhuzhi ci of that time from the perspective of corpus linguistics clearly reveals evolutions of the ethnic concept of treaty port intelligentsia in that period of national and social transformations, shedding light on their state of mind in the struggles between tradition and modernity, and also marking the orbit of their evolution from traditional into contemporary intellectuals.

A Study on Sun Yuanxiang, a Rearguard of the School of Ingenious Poetry

Abstract （1230）

There were many poetic academic schools during the period of Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. Among them the School of Ingenious Poetry had a greater impact on poetic writing. In the Ingenious School, Sun Yuanxiang, Wang Tan, Shu Wei and Zhang Wentao were leading figures. Although Sun Yuanxiang had no formal views on the theory of poetry, spiritually he was closer to Yuan Mei than others. As to poetic writing, the content and mental stature of Sun Yuanxiang‘s poems might be not better than others’, but his techniques of expression in poems reflected the style of Ingenious School more representatively. On the other hand, Sun Yuanxiang had closer personal relations than others with Yuan Mei, who was the mainstay of the Ingenious School. Above all, Sun Yuanxiang should be a rearguard of the Ingenious School. However, many people do not recognize the value of Sun Yuanxiang’s poems yet due to various reasons.

Although the Chinese language lacks of certain syntactic conditions, the maintaining of agreement in number among an event’s arguments is also necessary in semantics. There must be the same performance for event arguments and obligatory arguments. The dispensable arguments must not have less number entities than the obligatory ones. The explanation of its mechanism needs a way of an entity’s participation in an event. It should be divided into two aspects: an internal way that involves an integral event or a gradual event, and external way that involves events of the same time or events of different times. The way of an entity’s participation proves the generality of the hypothesis of agreement in number.

An Analysis of the Structure of “NP₁NP₂ Di VP”

Abstract （1290）

As a construction，“NP₁NP₂di VP” has its motivation. The construction has a basic constructional meaning, which can express a kind of subjective quantity. It mainly expresses a large subjective quantity, in rare cases expresses a small subjective quantity, and sometimes needs to determine the meaning with contextual factors. The polynomial NP in the construction has some features. The NP’s rhythm is a form of 2+2; the order of language units embodies a feature of quantity; the polynomial NP is realizable essential condition of the constructional meaning; they must be a combination of same sememes. The presence and absence of “di” has close relationships with these factors: the provisionality of combination of the polynomial NP, whether or not the polynomial NP is a thematic role of VP; the prosody of the whole construction, whether or not VP is a complicated form. The key verbs in VP are action verbs and causative verbs; VP mostly is complicated; the relationship between VP and polynomial NP conforms to the principle of bound/unbounded.

This paper uses a kind of autocorrelation function (ACF) approach which accounts for the potential nonstationarity in the mean of the series and uses per capita GDP for Chinese provinces over the period of 1953—2007, and tests those transitional dynamic characteristics of the regional growth path in China. The results show that the characteristics of partial regional growth paths are different, but the speed of convergence is nonlinearity. Except Qinghai Province, the linearized neoclassical growth model fails to replicate the transitional dynamic characteristics of other provinces’ economy, and has some limitations in depicting transitional dynamic characteristics of the regional growth path in China.

A Reflection on Fairness of the Payroll Deduction Standard of China’s Individual Income Tax

The individual income tax system is an important tool for the government to regulate and redistribute taxpayers’ incomes justly. Besides, there is a social focus on the problem of fairness of the deduction standard of personal salary and bonus during China’s individual income tax reform. The quantitative analysis of effects of individual income tax reforms in 2008 and September 2011 in our country shows that the income gap between unfair distributions cannot be narrowed only by continuously improving the working deduction standard. Only through a combination of basic and additional deductions based on a comprehensive income tax system can we give full scope to the function of the fair social wealth allocation of income tax in China.

The Nexus of Income Gap, Economic Growth and Educational Inequality in China

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (5): 138-144.

Abstract （1650）

HTML （108）

PDF （1571KB）（2780）

This paper incorporates distributionlag model into a system of equations to study the nexus of income inequality, economic growth and education in China. The major findings are: (1) Income inequality has a negative effect on economic growth, and economic growth will in turn be helpful to narrow the income gap; therefore, controlling the income gap is conducive to economic growth and in turn conducive to narrowing the income gap, which may achieve a goal that both equality and growth develop coordinately. (2) The income distribution inequality leads to educational inequality, but the lessening of educational inequality has not promoted to narrow the gap in income distribution and a virtuous circle between educational equality and income distribution equality has not formed spontaneously. To make education, economic growth, income distribution into an endogenous nice track, we need a series of reforms, policies and measures to guide, and gradually solve such problems as unreasonable labor market structure, urban and rural variations in returns to schooling and unreasonable educational investment structure.

A Study on the Income Distribution Risk of China’s Fiscal Expenditure

Abstract （1199）

HTML （1）

PDF （1568KB）（1321）

Through constructing an income distribution risk index system of fiscal expenditure and using China’s 1985—2008 data for empirical research, this article finds income distribution risk levels of fiscal expenditure are relatively low in China, but there are gradually increasing tendencies, and the risk mainly comes from the present situation of income gap and macroeconomic environment indicators. On this basis, using an order probit method to analyze influences of fiscal expenditure’s main items on income distribution risk degrees, the main conclusions are: to increase the proportion of expenditure on agriculture can help to reduce the risk of income distribution; to increase the share of expenditure on education, health care and social security will increase the risk of income distribution; expenditures on industries, communications and national defense have significant roles in promoting the income distribution situation; expenditures on infrastructure, administration and subsidies can reduce the income distribution risk, but the effect is not obvious.

Chemero’s eliminativism of representations is unfounded, and radical embodied cognitive science is not an effective research program. 

Michael Oakeshott characterizes Western modernity in terms of rationalism. And the domination of rationalism, in his view, is an outcome of neglecting practical knowledge, a kind of knowledge other than technical knowledge. He argues for the legitimacy of practical knowledge and clarifies its role in human activities. As an application of the distinction between practical knowledge and technical knowledge, Oakeshott, in the domain of politics, emphasizes the value of tradition in opposition to ideology. Generally speaking, his endeavor, together with Michael Polanyi’s theory of tacit knowledge, is dedicated to the construction of a kind of general epistemology, which joins force with the trend of reviving Aristotelian practical philosophy in the 20th century.

In truth value semantics, a simple formal semantics of extension, logical connectives are interpreted as of truth value. The main issue is therefore: logical connectives → and  in truth value interpretation are different from corresponding daily connectives, “if, then” and “if and only if”. Commonsensible reasoning semantics focuses on the reasoning meaning of logical connectives → and . With the help of daily language, it explains specific contents of logical expressions, and emphasizes intensions of expressions. Commonsensible reasoning semantics can be used to verify the validity of logical expressions. Thus it approaches a goal and ideal of logicians: valid forms of inference should be able to be widely used in various situations of daily reasoning.

Mao Zedong and the Eastern Information Bureau: The Transfer of Leadership in Asian Revolution

Abstract （1434）

When the Communist Information Bureau was established in October 1947, Stalin had no plan to set up such a Communist international organization in Asia. On the eve of the total victory of Chinese revolution, Mao Zedong started to talk about establishing an Eastern Information Bureau with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. Although Stalin proposed that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) should lead Asian revolution and agreed in principle to the idea of an Eastern Information Bureau, he was not in favor of immediate action. After hearing Moscow’s opinion, the CCP started to train Communist cadres coming from Asian countries. After entering the Korean War, the CCP gained actual leadership of Asian revolution. Although Eastern Information Bureau was not formally established, the CCP assumed the leadership in guiding revolution in Asia through opening MarxistLeninist academy and special schools to bring Asian Communist representatives to Beijing. In particular, the CCP gradually played a more dominant role in the Korea issue. After the Korean War, China and the Soviet Union advocated a peaceful coexistence policy toward the West. The issue of Eastern Information Bureau was no longer approached. China remained the center of Asian revolution until the early 1960 s.

Communist International (Cominter), which in its practical activities was responsible to carry out the world revolution, was not only a tool of the Soviet foreign policy, but also became its obstacle in certain conditions. After the outbreak of the war between Soviet Union and Germany, the establishment of international antifascist alliance made the relations between Soviet Union and America and Britain entered into a new stage. But, with a continuing victory of the allies against Germany in the war, the worry of America and Britain toward the Soviet Union increased, and this made the relationship between them fall into crisis from 1942 to the first half of 1943. In order to eliminate this crisis, assure the final victory of the antifascist war, and resolve the problem about the postwar arrangement at the same time, Stalin made a decision, as a friendly gesture to the West, to dissolve the Cominter in May 1943. The dissolution of the Cominter marked the beginning of postwar cooperation between USSR and U.S. and Britain.

Syngman Rhee worried that U.S. would abandon the Republic of Korea, as a price of buying peace. Therefore, he provoked a dispute over the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission to create tension. The Eisenhower Administration believed that unilateral actions by ROK most likely started hostilities which would get U.S. involved. For this reason, U.S. used tactics of appeasement and pressure against Rhee. On June 9, 1956, the U.N. command removed the NNSC personnel from ROK and the dispute was settled. The dispute over NNSC between U.S. and ROK tells us that the main reason for U.S.ROK crisis of confidence is the difference between global considerations of the U.S. and local considerations of the ROK. The U.S. often examines closely the Korean Peninsula problem from an Asian or even global angle, and isn’t willing to be entrapped by unilateral actions of ROK, and the ROK always judges U.S. global and Asian policies on the basis of its national security interests and worries about being ignored or even abandoned by U.S.

A Historical Investigation on North Korean Interns in Beijing: Basic Information and Changes of Policy

DONG Jie

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (6): 50-56.

Abstract （1262）

HTML （4）

PDF （1255KB）（1434）

From 1950 onward, Beijing became one of the 39 cities in China where some North Korean workers were accepted and trained as interns. In this project of North Korean interns, the local government of Beijing followed every instruction from the central government and considered the whole program as a political task. It upheld the spirit of internationalism and provided these interns with care and convenience in every way, from their technical study to daily entertainment. When the local government of Beijing fell into a diplomatically passive position due to the leaking of new techniques, it placed priority on politics and generously made them available to North Korea for fear of damaging the two countries’ relations. The project of North Korean interns came out of the two countries’ agreement on the political objectives, and ended due to the deviation of their political ideologies. As an epitome of economic relations between China and North Korea, the project shows an influence that the political relation has exerted on the economic sphere, and also reflects a structural defect of the two countries’ relations.

Georg Simmel’s Diagnosis of Mental Life in the Metropolis

JIANG Yi-Min

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (6): 57-64.

Abstract （1854）

PDF （1251KB）（1920）

Simmel’s analysis of modern urban culture foreshowed a contemporary academic interest. Based on neoKantianism, Simmel made a distinction between content and form, and used the phenomenon of the metropolis as an arena to illustrate distinctions and relations between form and content. Simmel argued that the mental life of metropolis mainly involved as follows: (1) the intensification of nerve stimulation, (2) sense of interpersonal distance, (3) “blaze attitude”, (4) “indifference” and “reserve”, and (5) calculating exactness. Simmel believed that the above mental phenomena of the metropolis resulted from combining effects of monetary economy, division of labor, and intellectualism. Although his diagnosis was insightful and delicate, Simmel’s nonhistorical and sociological impressionist methods led him to cultural pessimism.

A Study on the System of Educational Welfare for Vulnerable Groups in Welfare States

LIU Xin-Min, JIANG Sai-Rong

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (6): 65-69.

Abstract （1259）

HTML （3）

PDF （1254KB）（1372）

To provide free and fair basic education for citizens, especially for those vulnerable groups, is a statutory obligation of a modern welfare state and an institutional arrangement of social welfare. The idea of an educational welfare system lies in that to offer such basic education is a duty but not “grace” or “charity” of the government. The educational welfare system must be legislated to form a multilevel and comprehensive legal framework to implement and safeguard all citizens’ equal right to be educated. The educational welfare system requires the government responding to demands of the time, if necessary, to try its best to take necessary compensatory measures for vulnerable groups to ensure their educational right. In the Outline of China’s National Plan for Medium and Longterm Education Reform and Development (2010—2020), a basic goal of equalization of public education services has been put forward. The implementation of such a goal depends on carrying out the idea of an educational welfare system and putting such an idea into systematic laws and regulations and practical policies.

A Study on Impacts of Diploma Signal, Occupational Factors and Family Background on Educational Returns

WANG Sun-Yu, FAN Jing-Bo

Journal of East China Normal University (Philosoph 2011, 43 (6): 70-77.

Abstract （1311）

PDF （1266KB）（1639）

Generally, the study on returns to education started from the human resource theory advanced in the 1960s. Later, the screening theory and labor market segmentation theory have also been referred by this study. The classical Mincer equation assumes that the personal income is only affected by years of education and work experience. But in reality it is also affected by diploma signal, occupational factors and family background. By analyzing various factors which impact on returns to education, we can not only get a more exact rate of returns to education, but also can find values behind such numbers. The research result is that diploma signal, occupational factors and family background all have influence on China’s rate of returns to education. Impacts from occupational factors are the most significant, followed by family background, and the third is diploma signal. All this shows that China’s labor market is segmented, family capital can promote the rate of returns to education, and education mostly plays a screening role in China’s highend labor market.

The Chinese international education is popularly developing. However, the more it is developed, the more obvious problems of theory and practice are. And the most important problem is an inadequate awareness of “public diplomacy” that not only plays a dominant role in international relations but also is an indispensable part of soft power. The public diplomacy should be a fundamental topic in the Chinese international education. If a construction of the national image is a core issue of public diplomacy, then the Chinese textbook as a kind of national image rhetoric is one of the most significant routes in the Chinese international education.

As the most renowned Australian modernist writer, Patrick White has been Australia’s only Nobel Literary Prize laureate. Himself a homosexual writer, White had been undergoing the suppression and repression of the then mainstream culture in Australia, and was only able to express his sexual identity and value in his literary works in an indirect and concealed way. The sexual identities in his writings are very often in an unstable and uncertain state of fluidity. The exploration of the gender and sexuality identities in White’s works is conducive to a better understanding of his insights into aspects of humanity.

PDF （1258KB）（1940）

The paper uses an ARMAARCH model with three different types of noise to fit Shanghai and Shenzhen stock index return distribution. The result of the goodness of fit test with the stochastic simulation method shows that the ARMAARCH model with fractal Gaussian noise can characterize the volatility of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock returns, such as long dependence, fat tails and volatility clustering. Further, two different types of CopulaARMAARCH models are used to fit the dependence between Shanghai and Shenzhen stock indexes, and the result of the goodness of fit test with the stochastic simulation method shows that the CopulaARMAARCH model with fractal Gaussian noise can better characterize the VaR of volatility of Shanghai and Shenzhen stock returns.
