    What makes the concept of political legitimacy necessary is a certain form of self-understanding, the conception that the individual is prior to political society. This self-conception of the individual is not “natural” reflection of social reality, but rather a cultural construction that comes into being along with the modern transformation of “social imaginaries” in the West. The origin of the problem of political legitimacy lies in the emergence of modernity. This article is to explore the emergence of the modern self-understanding by examining its philosophical basis and historical condition, and do so in a dialectic way that avoids simplistic explanations offered by either determinism or contingencism. It highlights the specificity of cultural contexts in which the modern transformation of self-understanding takes place and meanwhile explains the logic of practice inherent to the transformation.

    We should fit Seng Zhao’s philosophy in the social historical cultural environment in which it formed, study the times theme that it faced and replied, study the different cultural resources that it had absorbed and fused. Seng Zhao’s theories of Existence- Naught and Movement-quiescence contain both connotations mainly: Firstly, From the view of Madhyamika Prajna, Seng Zhao put forward the views of "no-existence and no-naught" and "no-movement and no-quiescence", negated the views of metaphysics of Wei-jin, and illuminated the views of "no-real" and "no-move"; Secondly, Inheriting the theme of metaphysics of Wei-Jin, Seng Zhao illuminated the views of comprehending the naught from the existence and comprehending the quiescence from the movement on the basis of the theory of substance-function. Seng Zhao absorbed and fused both cultural resources of Madhyamika Prajna and the metaphysics of Wei-Jin, and promoted the development of the metaphysics of Wei-Jin and the sinologization of buddhism.

    Effective Measures to Deal with Inflation, Based on the Empirical Analysis of Asset Market Volatility
    Li Wei
    2010, 42 (2):  70-76. 
    Abstract ( 1792 )   HTML ( 17 )   Save
    We have established a VAR model consisting of price changes in real estate, domestic inflation, money supply and composite indexes of Shanghai security market. The paper systematically analyzes the short-term attack and the long-term impact based on the monthly data according to the two sample periods in china. The results suggest that, in the long run, the real estate price volatilities have not entered the co-integration relation and exert no impact on inflation in the first sample period. While the interaction between inflation and real estate price index volatilities would formulate a long-term co-integration relation during the second sample period. Aimed to control the price level and lower the expectation of inflation, it may be desirable to stabilize the real estate market prices effectively by the means of the various macroeconomic policy.

    Price Pass-through Effect of Change in RMB Exchange Rate
    Fang Xiancang He Wenwen
    2010, 42 (2):  77-82. 
    Abstract ( 1924 )   HTML ( 17 )   Save
    Based on the fact that China is a semi-open economy, we formulate pass-through functions of import price and CPI to exchange rate respectively. We further analyze the relation among import price index, consumer price index, competition of domestic market, costs of product for foreign exporters, real effective exchange rate and money supply with VAR model. We reach the conclusion that the real exchange rate of RMB has weak pass-through effect on the import price and CPI. However, the effect of real exchange rate on the import price is stronger than that on CPI, which proves an incomplete price pass-through effect. The costs of product for foreign exporters have positive effects on domestic CPI, which is stronger than that comes from real exchange rate. In the aspect of curbing inflation, therefore, the government should implement exchange rate arrangement with more flexibilities rather than the pegged exchange rate.
