A Study on Confucian Thoughts of Propriety and Music in the Perspective of Ritual Xiao-qun WU, Xiao-dong GUO 2005, 37 (4):  8-15, 120.  Abstract ( 1546 )   HTML ( 5 )   Save As a kind of the most direct, observable and vivid action in social life, the ritual is a symbolic carrier of cultural concepts.We can reveal a certain kind of culture in a given time and a value system of certain society when we throw light on those concepts contained in rituals.In a certain extent, the Confucian thought of propriety and music is similar to the thinking of modern study of rituals.And the Confucian"propriety"has a ritual function and effect in general.Since the pre-Qin period onward, Confucian scholars have quite emphasized its inner significance through their interpretations of its ritual action.Correspondingly, Confucian propriety-music culture, means of ritual action and procedural structure, also expresses a kind of common ideal and value, so as to normalize and regulate relations between men and those between individual and society, thus guaranteeing social order and unity.

The"Suffered Elite"and the "Laboring"Women Xu LIU 2005, 37 (4):  48-54, 121, 122.  Abstract ( 1254 )   HTML ( 5 )   Save One of the important characteristics of the intellectual's reflective fiction consists in the intellectual who returned to his glory through his sufferings; during the course of his meeting with misfortune some subaltern persons, especially subaltern laboring women, expressed their favor and even cult towards such an intellectual.Behind it are the intellectual's narcissism and arbitrary distorting of subalterns, which is a typical expression of the writer's elite consciousness.It shows the writer's egotism in his unconscious mind and also peripheralization of subalterns' sufferings.The higher rank these"suffered elite"possessed when they came back to their previous positions, the more those past subalterns became peripheral.

A Reflective Equilibrium between Big Questions and Small Particulars——Conceptual Distinctions between Action and Behavior Shi-jun TONG 2005, 37 (4):  16-23，30, 121.  Abstract ( 1483 )   HTML ( 8 )   Save The conceptual confusion between"xing dong" (action) and "xing wei" (behavior) in quite a few philosophical translations and writings in Chinese is one of many conceptual confusions as frequently seen in our academic researches as well as in our everyday life.It is a major task of philosophy to clarify these conceptual confusions, to develop new conceptual distinctions, and to cultivate our sensitivity to conceptual distinctions.This not only means that we should keep translations more fidelity to their Western originals, but also means that we should positively overcome rather than simply deny varied"dichotomies", we should combine conceptual analyses with rich imaginations, and we should replace old-fashioned conceptual distinctions with new-types.Moreover, we should try our best to find out some"middle terms"that can mediate between those aspects that have been separated from each other, and to advance our research through newer and better work of conceptual analyses.All this means that we should, in our philosophical research, aim to have a "reflective equilibrium"between important problems and seemingly trivial distinctions.

On Heidegger's View of Technology Rong-xia CHEN 2005, 37 (4):  24-30，121.  Abstract ( 1372 )   HTML ( 4 )   Save Heidegger's view of science and technology may be summarized as follows, The essence of technology is uncoveredness; both modern science and modern technology originate from metaphysics; modern technology finds expression in the opposition of subject and object, the prominence of beings, and the obliteration of being.Metaphysics, from the West, will inevitably become a popular powerful thinking due to its natural connection with technology as a human existence.As a result, modern technology can go everywhere in the world.Heidegger's quest for technology is helpful for us to clarify the essential relationship between human beings and technology, though it is unable to make us escape from technology.

A New Research on the Decision-making Method of Capital Structure Jia-hua XIA 2005, 37 (4):  83-88, 123.  Abstract ( 1275 )   HTML ( 4 )   Save Though the earnings per share is the most popular decision-making method of capital stucture introduced in all kinds of relevant textbooks, it is difficult to carry out such a method in practice due to its various deficiencies such as neglecting the cost of equity capital and operating irrational decision-making rules.Based on an analysis and estimaton of the earnings per share, this paper introcuces the marginal analysis into approaches of capital structural decision-making, and puts forward a new method-marginal income analysis.According to it, an enterprise sets to raise funds only if the marginal income of capital is greater than or equal to zero.Because of different costs of capital, equity financing and debt financing must satisfy their own required levels of marginal capital output.Under the precondition that the marginal capital output has reached a required level, the enterprise should choose a correct financing method and a capital structure flexibly, and combine factors such as its own debt ratio, cash flow and growth capacity, thus guaranteeing an increase both in its profit and shareholders' fortune.

Emancipating the Mind and Being Practical——An Analysis of An Academic Outline under the Qing Dynasty Lu-yao JIN 2005, 37 (4):  103-107, 113, 124.  Abstract ( 1185 )   HTML ( 6 )   Save In the book of An Academic Outline under the Qing Dynasty written LIANG Qi-chao, we may see clearly the author's praise of the Ancient Text School of Confucian Classics and his criticism of the Modern Text School.In fact, however, LIANG adopted an ambiguous attitude of both praise and blame towards the two schools.On the one hand he blamed the Modern Text School for its arrogance, and on the other he praised its courage of innovation.And he praised the Ancient Text School for its down-to-earth scholarship, but he sneered at its platitude.Accordingly, LIANG, who used to emphasize"analysis and explanation"other than"history", attempted to express his real intention of emancipating the mind and being practical.
