马克思的对象性论所蕴涵的自然美本原思想——一论马克思恩格斯经典著作中的完整美本原思想

根据唯物辩证法的自然辩证法、实践辩证法和主观辩证法三大存在领域,可以认为:对象性论体现了马克思的自然辩证法生成自然美本原的思想,宇宙自然物质性的本质力量无限永恒地自然化而生成了各种自然美,体现的是必然性自由的本质,是一切美生发的本体和基础价值所在,各种不同的自然产品都具有各自不同的自然美和价值;对象化论体现了马克思的实践辩证法创造人化美本原的思想,即对象化或人化的实践自由创造了各种人化美;非对象化论则体现了马克思的主观辩证法生发美感本原的思想,即在自然化和人化的主观认识的基础上产生了审美自由并形成了美感、审美心理和审美活动。这三个方面的辩证有机的统一,才是马克思主义的完整美学本原思想。

自然美的根源和本质

马克思不仅提出了"人的本质对象化"的命题,同时也提出了与此相对应的"自然的本质"和"自然力"的命题。从马克思的人与自然辩证和谐统一的整体性思想来看,应该还蕴涵着宇宙自然的本质力量自由创化的道理。由于宇宙自然的本质力量自由创化,产生了宇宙自然界千差万别的万事万物,体现了自由超越性的创造本原,不自觉地为后来形成的人类提供了享用、观赏和摹仿以及再创造的对象。这就是自然美的根源和本质。

论《周易》天地之道与人道相融合的美本原思想

《周易》中的天地之道生成天地之文,体现了自然美根源于宇宙自然的本质力量自由创化,其本质是宇宙自然的非自觉地自在地创化自然美的物质生成自由;《周易》中的人道创造人文的美本原思想,其本质是人类自觉自为地创造人化美的主体实践自由。《周易》中的天人合一思想可以归结为天地之道与人道的融合统一,进而抵达"大和"状态。人道和人化只能是在自然物和自然美的基础上创造人文美或人化美。只有在自然生产和再生产与社会生产和再生产处于平衡和谐的状态下,自然美和人化美的生成才能维系永续性。因此,天地之文和自然美与人文和人化美等一切美的共同本质就是无限永续性创化的自由。

初探《1844年经济学哲学手稿》中美学思想

《1844年经济学哲学手稿》从整体上看虽然不是一部完整的讨论美和美学的著作,但在著作中马克思以人类生产实践为中心。以认识"美的规律"为基础,以满足"两个尺度"为出发点,较为全面的阐释了人类劳动创造美及美的本质等多方面美学问题。

Comparison of Protein Content among Non-diapause Pupae,Diapause Pupae and Eclosion-adult from Diapause Pupae of Papilio memnon

[ Objective] The experiment aimed to explore the diapause mechanism of Papilio memnon L. further. [ Method] The colorimetry method was used to detect protein content of non-diapause pupae, diapause pupae and eclosion-adult from diapause pupae at different developmental stages. [Result] It was showed that the protein content of non-diapause pupae was from 111.768 to 115.030 7 mg/g and the change of protein content during whole pupal stage, while diapause pupae were from 81.218 to 131.623 7 mg/g and the change of protein content was not big from last ten-day period of October to last ten-day pariod of November, however, the content increased from the last ten-day period of November. The protein content of emerging adult was 296.969 3 mg/g. [Conclusion] The change of protein content was related to Papilio memnon at different development stage.

Five-year major clinical outcomes between first-generation ana second- generation drug-eluting stents in acute myocardial infarction patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention

Background There were limited data comparing the major clinical outcomes between first-generation （1G）-drug eluting stentts （DES） and second-generation （2G）-DES in patients with acute myocardial infarction （AMI） after percutaneous coronary intervention （PCI） during very long follow-up periods. We thought to investigate the comparative efficacy and safety of 2G-DES compared with 1G-DES in AMI patients during 5-year follow-up periods. Method A total of 1016 eligible AMI patients who underwent PCI with 1G-DES [paclitaxel-, sirolimus-, 1G-zotarolimus-eluting stent （endeavor~ or endeavor sprintS）, n = 554] or 2G-DES [2G-zotarolimus （endeavor resolute~）- or everolimus-eluting stent, n = 462] were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events （MACE） defined as total death, non-fatal myocardial infarction （MI）, target lesion revascularization （TLR）, target vessel revascularization （TVR）, non-target vessel revascularization （Non-TVR） and the secondary endpoint was stem thrombosis （ST） at 5 years. Results Two propensity score-ma- tched （PSM） groups （232 pairs, n = 464, C-statistic = 0.802） were generated. During the 5-year follow-up period, the cumulative incidence of TLR [hazard ratio （HR）： 3.133; 95% confidence interval （CI）： 1.539-6.376; P = 0.002], TVR （HR： 3.144; 95% CI： 1.59645.192; P = 0.001） and total revascularization rate （FIR： 1.874; 95% CI： 1.086-3.140; P = 0.023） were significantly higher in 1G-DES compared with 2G-DES after PSM. However, the incidence of total death, non-fatal MI and ST were similar between the two groups. Conclusion In this single-center and all-comers registry, 2G-DES＇s superiorities for TLR, TVP, and total revascularization in AMI patients suggested during 5-year clinical follow-up periods.

The Catastrophic Effects of African Americans＇ Marginalisation in Ralph Ellison＇s Invisible Man and August Wilson＇s Fences： A Comparative Study

This paper explores Du Boisian notion of double consciousness and the notion of black nihilism suggested by Cornel West in Ralph Ellison＇s Invisible Man （1952） and August Wilson＇s Fences （1986）. In order to conduct this study, the researcher adopts African American approach and shows that double consciousness and black nihilism are the immediate effects of African Americans＇ marginalisation. According to W. E. B. Du Bois, all African Americans develop the sense of double consciousness which means being both African and American simultaneously. On the other hand, Cornel West believes that black Americans suffer from nihilism which means loss of hope and absence of meaning. The paper is an attempt to compare the novel Invisible Man and the play Fences thematically based on these two theories. It then looks to find the considerable similarities in the conditions of the protagonists of these two literary works. Although both protagonists migrate to the North to escape Southern racism in the era prior to the Civil Rights Movement, they become totally disillusioned, for they are treated as the invisible marginal. Interestingly though, at the end of both stories, there remains a ray of hope for reactivation and the creation of democracy for black Americans.

Graduation is the Hallmark of Excellence How Colleges Can Achieve High Rates

Fine facilities, adequate financial aid, and sufficient resources are crucial elements for a university to be successful. But unless students graduate at an appropriate rate, the university will ultimately be considered ineffective. Students who exit the university without a degree will have their dreams deferred and often struggle to lead a life of any quality.

Here it is necessary for us to point out that they cannot be mentioned in the same breath, because the modern ecological criticism is not the reduction of an ancient ecological thought, and also will lead to the academic non-compatibility in academic research. So only by correcting the people＇s misunderstanding in cognition, can we reach the unity of the natural ecological viewpoint and man civilized viewpoint so as to keep the harmony between human beings and nature.
