Zhang Zhi-dong and Kang You-wei began to contact each other in Nanjing, in autumn of the 21st year of Emperor Guangxu’s reign. Zhang Zhi-dong took charge of Liangjiang (Jiangnan Province and Jiangxi Province) Governor because of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, opposing to the peace negotiation conducted by Li Hong-zhang et al. Kang You-wei became famous because he launched the Gongche Shangshu Movement and sent in memorials to Emperor Guangxu. The middleman between them was Zhang Zhi-dong’s assistant Liang Jing-fen. Huang Shao-ji also participated in their activities afterwards. After meeting each other, Zhang Zhi-dong helped Kang You-wei organize the Shanghai Qiangxue Association and issue the Qiangxue Journal. There were big disagreements between Zhang and Kang in terms of intellectual and political thoughts. Kang insisted on his own doctrines in the Qiangxue Journal and consequently broke with Zhang Zhi-dong et al, which was the turning point in their relation. This also shows they turned against each other politically because of their intellectual divergences. There are new historical data in “Archives of Zhang Zhi-dong” in the library of the Institute of Modern Chinese History in Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which help us know more details of this process.

Encountering the subversion of dominant values, the intellectuals in the May 4th Period were compelled to seek for new faith in order to settle the soul. Moreover, the twins of “faith and doubt” brought about a seesaw struggle in the mind of each intellectual in this period. Zhi Qian-zhi was famous for his romantic, unruly and even maniac image during this period. His sensitiveness of religion forced him to seek for the transcendence of life. As an intellectual in the May 4th Period, the tension of “doubt and faith” made him painfully move back and forth between revolution and suicide, and hope and despair. The thesis is aimed to unfold the complicated and rich spiritual world of intellectuals in the May 4th Period by analyzing Zhu Qian-zhi.

Public Ethic and Personal Virtue: A Double Track Model of Ethics in the Transitional Period in Britain, Japan and China

The relation between modernity and tradition is crucial to ethics in the transitional age of enlightenment. The two great figures in Scottish Enlightenment, that is, D. Hume and A. Smith, created a double track model with “justice and goodness” dichotomy, responding effectively to the issue of the moral transformation from the ancient to the modern along with the rising of a commercial society. This double track model has been echoed in East Asia in Fukuzawa Yukichi’s “personal virtue-social morality,” Liang Qi-chao’s “personal virtue- public virtue” and “moral - ethic” and Li Ze-hou’s “social moral-religious moral.” In the enlightenment in Scotland, Japan and China, the double track with “public ethic and personal virtue” provided us with a theoretical framework to dialectically deal with the debate of the invariable and the variable in morality and that of creating modern public ethic and inheriting traditional virtues.

Intention, Reason, Action and Related Claims of Pragmatism

CHEN Ya-Jun

Abstract （1021）

An action is a performance with an intention while an intention may constitute a reason for the action. However, it is not true that each intention will constitute a reason of an action. Whether an intention is qualified to be a reason is not solely determined by an individual agent. In contrast, this involves a social perspective. From the social perspective, we can legitimately claim a reason rather than an intention of an action. An individual agent is responsible for the intention whereas the society ensures the reason. In an ideal action, its intention is compatible with its reason. An intention is not rational unless it is a consequence of a material inference, which is by no means private but formed in social practice and followed by the public. A material inference does not need to be reduced to a formal inference. The main difference between new and classical pragmatism is that the former cares more about how reason (language) affects an action, whereas the latter pays more attention to how an action affects reason (language). New pragmatism not only supplements but also diverges from classical pragmatism to some extent.

Dialectical Argument and the Dialectical Tier

Feng Qi’s concept of dialectical argument is closely similar to Johnson’s concept of argument that takes the dialectical tier as an essential component of argument, so it is possible for the two to combine and complement with each other. On the one hand, with the help of Johnson’s proposal for the typology of the dialectical materials and his elucidation of the criteria for the dialectical adequacy, we can better comprehend the contributions and limitations of Feng’s concept of dialectical argument; Feng’s seeing “achieving unanimity through the contention of diverse opinions” as a universal law of the contradictory movement of thinking and knowing can, on the other hand, lay a more solid foundation for the justification of the arguer’s dialectical obligation.

The moral assessment of social institutions is a core subject in political philosophy. According to the conceptual distinction made by Simmons, legitimacy is about the way in which an institution is established, while justifiability refers to the virtues that institution has. To justify an institution is to show that it is not only just but also “stable for the right reasons.”

Molyneux’s problem was brought up more than 300 years ago, and it has been one of the main issues in the field of philosophy of mind and psychology. The answer of “no” to this question entails a perceptual principle of empiricism. In recent years, the research on the imitation of newborns triggered the rethinking of Molyneux’s problem and the traditional perceptual principle. This is a process of applying the embodied perceptual theory, and also a process of testifying its validity.

In 1950s, Prof. Qian Gu-rong put forward the doctrine that “literature is a study of human beings”; in 1980s, with his deeper understanding of the charm of literature, he claimed that “literary creating is thinking with sentiment”. The reason why literature remains flourishing in human beings’ life is that it experiences, witnesses and preserves the sentiment of human beings in history in a specific and vivid way, revealing the most subtle, most thrilling and deepest pulsation of humanity. Therefore, sentiment is not only the unique connotation of cultural psychology in literary creation, but also should be the fundamental subject in literature theories.

The “Emancipation” of Ah Q and the “Reverse” of Enlightenment: Rereading The True Story of Ah Q

Based on Qu Qiu-bai’s examination of Lu Xun in “Preface to An Anthology of LU Xun’s Essays,” this thesis rereads The True Story of Ah Q. The discussion of “What is Ah Q’s surname?” becomes the starting point of Ah Q’s biography written by the “author”. the narration that “Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao, but Elderly Gentleman Zhao does not allow him to be surnamed Zhao” becomes the starting point of the whole life story of Ah Q. What’s more, if The True Story of Ah Q demonstrates Lu Xun’s most profound reflection of “the Revolution of 1911,” then he is taking the collapse of “rural space” as the starting point to reflect “the Revolution of 1911” in the discussion of “What is Ah Q’s surname?” and the narration that “Ah Q wants to be surnamed Zhao, but Elderly Gentleman Zhao does not allow him to be surnamed Zhao”. To interpret The True Story of Ah Q in this way is not to prove that Lu Xun refutes with foresight the “new theory of the Revolution of 1911” from “rural space” to “power of each province”, but to reveal that he foresees profoundly the revolutionary but simultaneously tragic result due to the collapse of “rural space”. That is to say, a multitude of Ah Qs will be expelled consciously or unconsciously from the patriarchal society under a tender veil. They are like ghosts wandering in wildness a group after another. This makes the “emancipation” of Ah Q become a key to a new understanding of “enlightenment”.

On Some Puzzles in the Interpretation of Du Fu’s Shu Xiang

In interpreting Du Fu’s Shu Xiang, there have always been some divergences, one of which involves that the expression “pin fan” won’t fit with the whole poem if it is explained as “sorrow and painstaking”. In effect, “pin pan” must be understand as an adjective with the meaning of “frequent”, which won’t contradict “san gu” (visiting three times). The structure that there is no conjunction between the two clauses in the third verse of the poem can be seen in Du Fu’s poetry. The meaning of the second half of the poem is consistent. The connection between the third verse and the last verse is natural. There is no obstruction in meaning at all.

Two Paradoxes of Happiness: Income Paradox and Desire Paradox

There is a formula of happiness: Happiness = income / desire. In order to “maximize happiness”, two completely contrary approaches are possible: one is to maximize the numerator in the formula, i.e., to increase income, whereas the other is to minimize the denominator in the formula, i.e., to lessen desire. The former results in an “income-paradox” (or Easterlin paradox) typically in contemporary West. In contrast, the latter brings out a “desire-paradox”, which can be easy find in ancient China. These two paradoxes can be understood and consequently solved within one framework of economics.

Individual Ideas, Collective Ideas and Institutional Transition

According to their existing form, ideas fall into two categories: individual ideas and collective ideas. When disseminated to a certain extent, individual ideas turn into collective ones through individual awareness, collective imitation and social opinions. Widely accepted by group members, collective ideas bring free individuals together into a cohesive community. Restraining the behaviors of community members, collective ideas enable community members to conduct consistent actions, which is essential to an institution. The change of collective ideas is the sign of institutional transition, and it can also direct institutional transition. When collective ideas start to change, original institutions will no longer adapt to the changed collective ideas. At this time, institutions and collective ideas will weaken each other, and collective ideas will promote the change of the existing institutions and the birth of new ones

The Private Order in Online Transaction: Reputation，Enforceable Contract and Credit Evaluation System

Due to the deficiency of online transaction contracts, the lack of credit reporting system and the imperfection of law, public order could not solve the problem concerning credit in online transaction and the private order concerning reputation has gained wide attention recently. According to the principle of “incentives, coordination and authority”, the private order is analyzed into three kinds: “the spontaneous”, “the intermediary” and “the organized”. An online transaction model is established to theoretically prove the role of private order in preventing moral risk in online transaction. Therefore, according to the three kinds of private order, it is necessary to design and improve external mechanisms to guarantee that the private order plays a stable role in the place of public order to some extent.

On Group Contradiction of Urban Inhabitants and Their Interest Expressing Channels in China

There are a lot of social strata and sub-groups among city inhabitants in China. They have different interest requirements, thus, social management in city has to face interest disputes among different groups, particularly the contradictions between officials and common people, between labor and management, between poor and rich. These interest contradictions are characterized by its complexity and increasing violence. Once an interest dispute arises, most urban inhabitants normally intend to express their interest demands and solve problems in legal ways. However, if these ways are ineffective, inhabitants involved will inevitably seek for expressing channels out of the system, and this may lead to group events. Urban government, social organization and inhabitants ought to jointly pay high attention to it.

Knowledge, Institution and Interest: Understanding Chinese Reform from Three Dimensions

The past over 30 years has witnessed Chinese reform. However, the debate on the reform has never stopped up to now. This is mainly because different people understand reform in different ways. The ultimate goal of theoretical study is to make the society reach a new consensus in the understanding of reform. However, in recent years, Chinese academic circle tends to overgeneralize Chinese reform with labels such as “Chinese mode” and “Chinese way”. This results in some deviations in understanding the complicate social practice of Chinese reform. China's reform is an innovative process of system transition, which involves lots of issues, including the relation between knowledge stock and knowledge increment, methods of institutional innovation and its efficiency, and the adjustment of social interests. Therefore, we should understand Chinese reform from three dimensions: knowledge, institution and interest. Certainly, to understand the reform is not just to summarize the experience and lessons, but to help Chinese society to understand better the significance and urgency to deepen reform.

Norms of Advertising Endorsement: To Learn from American Experience

The criterion for identifying advertising endorsement is that we can discern the endorser’s true identity from the advertising. The essence of advertising endorsement is the commercial use of the personality right and the future of “speaking for the sponsor in public” makes the endorsement easily become the tool of false advertising under the drive of interest. America is the first country that has made norms of advertising endorsement with the duty-oriented idea of legislation. To fully protect the consumers’ interests is the typical character of the norms of advertising endorsement in America. Considering the social policy of protecting consumers’ interests and restricting false advertisements, we should integrate our intricate legal norms and make specific duty-oriented norms.

A reasonably revised transcendental-pragmatics is capable to cope with its internal theoretical challenges on the one hand and the change of intellectual and institutional surroundings on the other, and consequently play a positive role in fostering and strengthening a spirit of enlightenment with self-critique and self-consciousness.

The relationship among the three religions, i.e., Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, has always been an important issue in the history of Chinese philosophy. Examined in the context of the Sinicization of Buddhism, many significant perspectives of this issue will be understood appropriately. When Buddhism was first introduced into China, it had to depend upon and adapt itself to the local culture of China; then with the development of Buddhism, its conflicts with Confucianism and Daoism emerged; with the gradual communication and fusion among the three religions, sinicized Buddhism characterized by humanity eventually took shape. By analyzing the relationship among the three religions in the historical course of the Sinicization of Buddhism, this thesis attempts to put forward some new points of view and provide some methodological suggestions to the study of the history of Chinese philosophy.

Two Concepts of Belief and Their Ideas of Power

Although belief is related to such characteristics as ultimate, transcending and holy, it can be reduced to the construction of a certain holy relation in terms of sociological theory of belief, and based on this “a theory of belief relation” is established, which examines the types of belief practices from the perspective of the relation between god(s) and human beings. In the process of construction, people have not only constructed the forms of belief such as religious belief and folk belief, but also have participated in the construction of mainstream culture and ideology, and finally have constructed a unique field of symbol power. Different belief concepts and different belief types effectively imply different god-human relations and different forms of the construction of the holiness. In terms of the relation between belief and power, there is a distinction between politics of belief and politics of skepticism. In addition, concerning how to construct a belief in justice in modern society, a public and civil belief paradigm, which surpasses both anthropocentric belief and god-centered belief, cannot be constructed until the constitutional democracy is constructed.

The author suggests that religious institution has been the main body for charity in the history of world and China as well. The religious motivation and practicing has been the origin of charity. Then the paper takes the examples from an Italian Catholic charity organization of Community of Sant’Edegio and a Shanghai Protestant charity group from Pu’an Church to examine the relationship between religion and charity. The author suggests that the charity invested by religious institution should be distinguished as the “fourth section” when sociologists take charity as the “third section”.

The “Chan Buddhism Fever” in 1980s was impacted by the Zen of Suzuki, which was popular in Europe and America at that time. In the particular social and historical conditions, Chan was promoted as an effective medicine with which individuals can perfect their personalities on their own. The rising and spread of “Chan Buddhism Fever” was necessary and reasonable. However, there is still much to do about analyzing the positive and negative aspects of Chan as cultural heritage in cultivating ideal personality and treating the relationship between group and individual so as to serve for the rising of China in the post-modern era.

Although new Confucianism hasn’t been developed consciously to promote the process of modern Chinese philosophy, its ontological concern does make up the disadvantage of modern Chinese philosophy, that is, jumping over the age of ontology into the age of epistemology. In this manner, modern Confucianism has not only carried forward modern Chinese philosophy objectively, but also revealed the trend of Chinese philosophy in future. In the ontological constructing of Xiong Shili, Fang Dongmei, Feng Youlan, Tang Junyi and Mou Zongsan, we can see the possible trend of Chinese philosophy.

He advocates a world state with great unity to go beyond the separation and conflict among nation-states. Zhao Tingyang echoes Kang Youwei to some degree in his project of tianxia system. A dialogue among Kang Youwei, Zhao Tingyang, Kant, Habermas and Thomas Pogge leads us to have a new understanding of the significance of a world state, which is “a discarded choice” in Kant.

As the origin of Chinese thought, the Book of Changes has its lasting value. However, the lack of adequate knowledge of the particularity of the Book of Changes as the remains of primeval culture has resulted in frequent misunderstandings and misjudgments in its study. The perspective of cultural anthropology and poetics can help us critically think over such issues as whether Confucius wrote the Commentaries on the Book of Changes, whether the Commentaries were factually written after the Book, which school the Book of Changes belonged to, and who wrote the Book of Changes. With this perspective and method, a new prospect will open up for the study of the Book of Changes as well as Chinese literature in the Pre-Qin period.

In early 1980s, a “Sinicization” movement in social sciences was set off in the academic circle in Taiwan. It was first initiated by scholars of sociology, psychology and anthropology, but soon spread throughout the whole circle of social sciences and became the most important academic movement in modern Taiwan. Those important academic subjects brought out during the movement have been also the hot issues studied, discussed and argued continuously in Taiwan’s academic circle for the last 30 years. What’s more, this academic movement was later transformed from “Sinicization” to “localization” with the powerful intervene of various political and ideological forces in Taiwan society, and eventually intersected and overlapped with the “localization” movement in social and political areas. From the perspective of academic history, this thesis is aimed to systematically examine the detailed process of the movement and to analyze the internal and external causes of its transformation from “Sinicization” to “localization” and furthermore to discuss its academic value and experience.

The Change of Liberal Economics in the 20th Century in China

In modern Chinese, literalism is related to socialism at political and intellectual levels. Intellectually, the change of this relationship can be seen from the perspective of literal economics. When literalism was first introduced into China in the early ten years in the 20th century, the relation between literalism and socialism was external and there was no literal economics. In the following forty years, literalism absorbed social values of fairness and justice into its economic policy, seeking “political democracy and economic equality”. In the second half of 20th century, literalism was remnant in Taiwan, and literal economics trended to turn to liberal economy. Meanwhile, liberal economy was paid more and more attention for its importance to democratic politics. The literalism that immerged in mainland China in the late 20th century echoed this trend. This change had its social and historical causes at home and abroad and was also related to the role of thinkers as well as their thought resources.

The ideas such as “loyalty, rightness, benevolence, wisdom, honesty and courageousness” advocated in Guan Gong culture not only include oriental Confucian moral values but also are similar to some extent to the values such as “truth, good, beauty, fairness, justice and freedom” in Western philosophy. In the evolution of Guan Gong culture, the ruling class played an important role. To remold national core value system, which is essential to the construction of a harmonious society, the government should function as the leading promoter and executor in recalling the memory of common people and renovating traditional culture. Advocating Guan Gong culture guided by the government is conducive not only to the reconstructing of a socialist core value system but also to the re-rising of Chinese culture in the stage of the world.

Loess Plateau, Steamed Bun, Breasts and Tombs: On the Images and their Implication in A Hungry Village

Reading Prof. Wang Zhiliang’s long novel A Hungry Village is like appreciating a great play. When the stage curtain is open, at least three aspects worthy of attention: the beautiful setting, the framework of the story and the role performance, which are connected to each other on the one hand and different from each other on the other. The narrative factors which are still thrilling up to now are not constructive to the overall structure of the novel. They are only like glistening fibers woven into the bedding (the background of the story).The story is painstakingly arranged in another framework, namely, the overall poetical context crisscrossed with the images of “loess plateau, steamed bun, breasts and tombs” and the historical deliberation implied in this poetical context.

China is always a country of poetry. Since the May 4th New Cultural Movement, especially since 1949, the “old style poetry” has almost disappeared in the narration of “the history of modern literature” because of the dominant doctrine that “the history of modern Chinese literature is the history of the development of new literature”. But as a matter of fact, while the new style poetry developed vigorously, the creation of different kinds of old style poetry had not ever stopped, and the old style poetry embodied its own unique value in the 20th century. The poetry written by Zhao Puchu, a later Buddhist leader, is a good example. Zhao wrote over 2000 works including various types of old style poetry and antithetical couplet in his life. Due to his continuous innovation in the style and content, his poetry displays another kind of modernity different from that in the new style poetry, namely, “the poeticization of daily life” and “the aestheticization of religious life”. Therefore, we can conclude that the old style poetry, as far as its surviving in modern times and its modern artistic spirit is concerned, do have its “modernity”. They should not be neglected in the history of modern Chinese literature in the 20th century.

Narrative, Rhetoric and Time: On the Rhetoric of Repeating in Cao Naiqian’s Novels

HAN Lei

Cao Naiqian’s novels have a distinctive language style. A great amount of repeating rhetoric is one of its characteristics. His repeating rhetoric has excellent effect on pushing forward the development of stories, revealing the subjects of poverty and ignorance, containing psychological implication in behaviors and displaying a special idea of time. It helps to reach a high level in the discourse model and narrative model. Moreover, repeating rhetoric implies the author’s concept of Chinese villages as a pre-modern place: time in Chinese villages is stagnant or circulatory, and rural peoples in the bottom of society are fatefully within the cycle of poverty and ignorance. This one-sided denial of the oriental civilization constitutes a serious disadvantage of the author’s position, which is originated from a blind worship of the western civilization.

A comparative study of the descriptions of the modal particle ye in Notitia Lingae Sinicae written by French missionary Joseph de Prémare and those in Ma’s Grammar shows that Joseph de Prémare was the first scholar in the history of Chinese grammar who described the modal particle ye comprehensively from the perspective of grammar in 1728 and the descriptions of ye in Ma’s Grammar were not beyond Prémare’s framework. As for the methodology, Prémare mainly combined grammar and rhetoric based on the particularity of Chinese language. This comparative study also shows different concepts of grammar in eastern and western scholars.

All these conclusions can be used to screen investment ratings, thus helping to protect the interests of investors.

On John Fryer’s “Movement of Writing Up-to-day Novels”

The “Movement of Writing Up-to-day Novels” initiated by English Missionary John Fryer has always received high evaluation in the research of novels in modern times. By analyzing John Fryer’s articles for soliciting and the articles he received, this thesis is aimed to reveal that this movement was quite religious, most of the authors who participated in this activity were Christians, most of the articles they wrote were not novels and consequently this movement did not have great influence on the development of novels in modern times and was not related to the “new novels” thereafter. However, these articles have a high value as historical documents, from which we can know about the thoughts and activities of foreign missionaries, the operation of religious organizations in different areas, the psychologies of Christians, the middle and lower classes’ understanding of the current situation and future of the nation and their understanding of literature, etc.
