    After the Asian financial crisis much of the discussion among policymakers and theorists within the international community goes to the international financial construct. One of its focal issues under debate is about the exchange rate regime, and the view that intermediate exchange rale regimes are no longer viable (hollowing of the middle) particularly arouses heated discussions and debates. Through a comprehensive analysis of the debate in the international community we may find that some views in certain areas are commonly shared, whereas a divergence of views also exists in some other areas.However, what turns out to be evident is that the future development of the international exchange rate regime, to a great extent, will be definitely influenced by the discussion above.

    On the Value Basis of Current Credit Money and the Floating Exchange Rate Regime
    Ze-min HUANG, Wen-lei LU
    2002, 34 (1):  18-22.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.002

    With an analysis and comparison of the value basis of money under different monetary standards, we find that the goods that form the value basis of credit money hold the same or different characters; thus the arrangement of the international exchange rate regime is determined. Under the modern credit monetary standard, the value basis of credit money appears to be flexible and unstable and is easily affected by many factors. So we can take the modem credit money as an information system. Different kinds of credit money are different in their value basis, which is an ultimate determination of the floating international exchange rate regime.

    The Exchange Rate Regime, Path Dependence, and East Asian Currency Cooperation
    Wei-xing FANG
    2002, 34 (1):  23-30.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.003

    Although the de factor dollar peg system adopted by East Asian countries after the Breton Woods Monetary System was the main cause of Asian financial crisis in 1997, the linkage of home currencies with the US dollar, as some economists pointed out, has returned to the pre-crisis condition for some countries in this region. The success of the European currency cooperation has stimulated people's great interest in the forthcoming currency cooperation among East Asian countries. The de factor dollar peg system re-adopted is just a second-best choice for East Asian countries and the basket peg system will be more reasonable in a short period of time. But in the long run East Asian countries should learn from the inherent dynamics of European currency cooperation so as to enhance their forthcoming currency cooperation.

    On "the Original Fundamental Relationship"——FENG Qi' s Thought of Logical Starting Point in Dialectical Analysis
    Yi-lian PENG
    2002, 34 (1):  31-35, 45.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.004

    The starting point of logical analysis for constructing a theoretical system of an object is a "cell"or"celled form"in the complex objective integral, which has represented a traditional statement for a long time in the theoretical circles. In his book, The Dialectics of Logical Thinking, finished in the early 1980's, FENG Qi uses his own statement of "finding out the original fundamental relationship in a realm" to take place of the traditional statement. It has not only sufficient theoretical grounds but also corresponds to the objective course of development of modern sciences and their needs ior methodology. This is really a new generalization and a new contribution to methodological principles of dialectical logic.

    On the Intersubjective Dimension of Dialectical Thinking Method
    Rong-dong JIN
    2002, 34 (1):  36-41.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.005

    The essence, application and confirmation of validity of the method of dialectical thinking are all inherently related to the intersubjective relationship. This article expounds the intersubjective dimension of the dialectical thinking method from the following four angles. First, to achieve unanimity through the contention of different opinions is a universal law of the dialectical contradictory movement of thinking. Second, either as the application of laws and categories or as a system of normative rules, the method of dialectical thinking has an intersubjective dimension. Thirdly, this dimension embodies itself through those essential links of dialectical thinking. And finally, when the method of dialectical thinking is applied to the development of dialectical logic, the intersubjective dimension calls for the policy of letting a hundred schools of thought contend.

    Ying-hang ZHANG
    2002, 34 (1):  46-51.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.007

    Starting from his theoretical presupposition of goodness of human nature, Mencius takes the way of completing a man, that is, how to be a a man or how to cultivate an ideal personality, as his theoretical mission, putting forth some specific patterns of ideal personality and their ways of realization. Mencius ' doctrine of human nature, especially his thought of personality pattern, has considerable theoretical deviations and negative roles, but also has a positive effect on the development of national spirit. Mencius' stress on moral significance of human dignity is of importance and far-reaching enlightenment to contemporary human beings who strive to be out of their cultural predicament and reestablish their ideals of nature and virtue.

YE Shi set the concept of wealth right, and positively affirmed rich people' s social status and role. His thought of enriching people still has realistic significance in present-day China.

    Openness: A Mark of Literary and Artistic Modernity
    Ke-qiang FANG
    2002, 34 (1):  59-71.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.009

    The literary openness and modernity are synchronous and interactive with each other to a considerable degree.The literary open attitude of a country can be a rod for surveying its modernized degree of literature. The openness of literature is chiefly referred to the opening-up to the external world, including actual open degree and subjective open consciousness. The modernity of literature can be generalized into the three elements of openness, plurality and creativeness, and in particular, the openness has a primary significance. Viewed from openness, the centenary process of Chinese literature can be divided into the four periods: overall open, half open and half close, largely close, and towards open. The literary openness reflects a continuous essence of the centenary Chinese literary progress, which is never totally lost. However, different open degrees and open consciousness indicate changes of literary modernity, strong or weak.

    The Exploration of Writing Methodology in Left-Wing Literature
    Wei-min LIN
    2002, 34 (1):  72-79.  doi: 10.16382/j.cnki.1000-5579.2002.01.010

    For the reconstruction of Chinese left-wing literature, it was an important and hard task to explore the methodology of literary creation. The so-called new realism put forward in the first place was only a mechanistic combination of the realistic writing methods of old realism and the world outlook of the proletariats, while the so-called revolutionary romanticism attached to it was in essence a kind of romantic ultra-leftism. Afterwards, "the creation methods of materialistic dialectics "was advanced, which preliminarily corrected the errors of subjective idealism and began to set right the orientation of realistic literature. In the end the domination of socialist realism in literature promoted developments of the left-wing literature, and meanwhile brought grave aftereffects to new Chinese literature.

    This article starts with the question whether the Great Depression is inevitable. Investigations have been made on President Hoover's anti-depression policies as well as the expansion of the Depression between 1929 and 1933. Through an analysis of causes of the Depression, a reassessment of Hoover and his policy during the depression has been taken. As a president setting from 1920's to 1930's, Hoover was more unfortunate rather than unable, helpless rather than powerless. Some of his policies gave clues to his successors.

    GU Jie-gang is a typical exponent of the "yi gu" (suspecting ancient history) movement of our country. In the methodology of scholarship GU was deeply influenced by CUI Shu. Although GU knew how to separate" the original state" of historical data from their" changes in transmission", he put too much emphasis on the “instancy” of historical materials, and neglected the "retardancy" of them. Therefore, there are some defects in his scholarship.
