Philosophical Foundations of Business Ethics： French Philosophy and Social Theory in Relation to Ethics and Philosophy of Management

This article gives an overview of my book French Philosophy and Social Theory. A Perspective for Ethics and Philosophy of Management, published by Springer 2014. As an extension of my earlier work on French philosophy, this book provides an application of important concepts from contemporary French philosophy to business ethics and the ethics of organizations. Although the book covers a wide range of philosophers and philosophical movements, there is a core and deep unity of the book. This is the demonstration of how the conceptual resources of contemporary French philosophy from the early 20th Century to the present day can be applied to give us new perspectives on business ethics and the ethics of organizations.

The Philosophy of He(和):Examined from the Perspectives of Technology and Culture

Pre-modern Chinese crafts,such as iron smelting,cookery,medicine,and the production of vehicles,bows,and arrows indicate the traditional Chinese view of technology as being organic,holistic,and comprehensive.This view of technology is guided by the concept of he(和)and employs the means and methods of he,thus achieving the purport of he.In Chinese,the character he(和)possesses positive connotations.It originated from the meaning of"to season;to add flavoring to"(调和)and that of flavors being"perfectly harmonious"(和美).From this sensory experience,he gradually extended to the abstract levels of materiality,humanity,sociality,"order"(wei位),and "power,situation,force"(shi势).Finally,he was elevated to the supreme level of"qi of great harmony"(taihe zhi qi太和之气),which is comparable to the concept of dao(道).The philosophy of he has exerted wide impact on such areas as technology,art,national character,cultural psychology,and behavior patterns,and has become an integral part of China's inherent culture.The paradoxes and deviations of he hold their own profound philosophical implications that merit further exploration.As humanity confronts significant challenges,such as how we can coexist with others,with technology,and with nature,the ancient Eastern wisdom embodied in he continues to possess practical characteristics and value.

The Enlightenment of Tai Chi Philosophical World View on Human Peace

This paper discusses the worldview of classical Chinese Tai Chi philosophy:the holistic view,the view of Yin and Yang,view of change,view of no change,and view of harmony and their enlightenment to human peace.The holistic view inspires people to look at human society from the height of the whole earth,and consider not only national interests,but also the interests of all mankind.The view of yin-yang tells people that when analyzing problems,they should look at the two aspects of yin-yang integration,not only to consider their own national interests,but also the interests of other countries,not only to see the contradictions and conflicts between countries,but also to see mutual benefits,to develop positive factors and to overcome negative factors;The view of change tells people that national leaders should adjust their foreign relations according to the changes of the times and the situation on the premise of abiding by objective laws;The view of no change tells us to act in accordance with the laws of nature and society,and that countries should respect each other,benefit each other,and cooperate for win-win results.The view of harmony enlightens us that in international relations,we should advocate the idea of living in harmony,harmony in diversity and harmonious coexistence,and oppose hegemonism and power politics.

“Systematic Rival”From the Perspective of Philosophy of Property System

At present,the world is undergoing accelerating changes unseen in a century.With the United States regarding China as a strategic competitor,China-EU relations have become the core of national and global governance.For this reason,we use the basic theory and tools of Philosophy of Property System to clarify the EU’s characterization of China and accordingly propose the method of judgment and the principle of response.From this,we can get three basic cognitions of“systematic rivalry”,namely mutual exclusion of common cognition(Model A),mutual exclusion and cooperation of personality cognition(Model B),and cooperation of historical cognition(Model C).In order to steadily grasp the nature of“systematic rival”and make it operable,three basic cognitive models(AB,AC,BC,ABC,etc.)are combined,and a comprehensive judgment(ABC+model)is made to adapt to the supranational sovereignty characteristics of the EU.It is believed that the nature of“systematic rivalry”in the“trinity”refers to the main aspects of competition between China and Europe.Therefore,there are three principles for the Philosophy of Property System of“systematic rival”:first,maintain the situation of competition and cooperation;second,there is no fixed mode of competition and cooperation;and third,temporary confrontation and complementarity will lead to new competition and cooperation.

现代政治哲学中的财产权问题:从洛克到马克思

财产权问题是现代政治哲学发展中的主线问题。洛克率先以自然权利学说为框架建立起关于财产权问题的理论,但也遗留了需要由后来的政治哲学家进一步解决的理论问题。休谟、康德、黑格尔将财产权把握为一种获得性和社会性权利,这无形中推动了现代政治哲学的发展,特别是使现代政治哲学在解决理论与现实相脱节、相断裂上向前走了一大步。马克思在制度批判的层面上,极为深刻地揭示了缔结和固化在财产权背后的社会关系和社会矛盾,从而在理论上刻画了真正的现实,也从根本上解决了洛克遗留的问题。自洛克至马克思,政治哲学家们对财产权问题作出的不同解析,表征着现代政治哲学在理论上经历的嬗变和不断深化的过程。

“Philosophy”视域下的中国哲学

中国哲学与西方哲学不是一种语言视域中的概念,二者可以视为具有类似的宇宙论起源,但核心范畴不同,在漫长的历史演化进程中所形成的文化向度不同。目前,西方哲学已经开始了新一轮的转向:知识论向语言论的转向。但中国哲学由于汉语作为象形文字的局限,在新一轮哲学发展方向的选择上无所适从。正确地审视中国哲学的缺陷,以西方哲学——"philosophy"的视域审视我们的哲学,在今天的哲学界显得尤其重要。

论黑格尔语言哲学的独特理论个性

从语言哲学角度去考察黑格尔哲学会动摇一种常见的哲学信念:黑格尔哲学是以语言分析为主阵地的英美哲学所要拒绝的对象。实质上,黑格尔哲学中有着丰富的语言哲学论述,对其特征的阐明能够揭示出其与英美语言哲学传统不同的语言分析进路。让·依波利特甚至认为黑格尔把逻辑学建构为一种语言哲学,也有人主张黑格尔是真正实施罗蒂提出的“语言转向”的第一位哲学家。黑格尔引入的辩证法语言具有整体主义与历史主义特征、运动承诺及模糊性与意义转换特征,这使得其语言哲学思想与英美语言哲学进路有着根本的差异。

可控核聚变技术的生成:能源约束、能源伦理与能源革命

由于传统能源使用的困境和气候变化的威胁,人类社会加大了寻求有效解决能源危机的努力。但是,光伏、风电等新能源和新一代核裂变能源由于各自的技术及资源风险,有着极大的不确定性,难以成为能源转型的核心角色。可控核聚变技术经过了几十年的发展,虽然目前仍面临诸多困难,但业已取得若干阶段性成功,已经看到实现技术突破的曙光。可控核聚变技术能量密度高,资源广泛易得,拥有安全性、永续性和环境友好性等诸多潜在益处,是破解人类发展能源瓶颈的颠覆性技术。不过,科学技术是一把双刃剑,可控核聚变技术在力图解决能源供给问题的同时,也可能带来一系列新问题,比如引发新一轮能源技术竞赛、产生新的能源霸权等。由于能源在人类生存与发展中的基础性地位,从能源伦理的角度对可控核聚变技术产生的影响与风险进行前瞻性研判和哲学反思是至关重要的。可控核聚变的成功将动摇“能源的稀缺性原则”,挑战现有能源现实主义,部分消解能源生态末日论的核心观点,将对传统能源哲学产生革命性影响。

《大众哲学》对青年的思想启蒙及其当代价值

《大众哲学》的问世,使得20世纪三四十年代中国青年的思想有了系统化的理论指导。《大众哲学》以马克思主义哲学为理论依据,用通俗化的语言着重分析了当时的社会问题,并且一针见血地指出这些问题的症结所在。《大众哲学》对青年的思想启蒙主要集中在青年的世界观、人生观、价值观上,并且取得了良好的成效,在当时产生了广泛的影响,数十万青年人因此走上了革命之路。《大众哲学》开创了马克思主义哲学中国化、大众化的先河,对马克思主义在我国的传播起到了至关重要的作用,其传播经验对新时代马克思主义中国化时代化大众化的发展也有着重要的借鉴意义。

儿童哲学在幼儿园中华优秀传统文化教育中的应用探索——以《井底之蛙》故事为例

中华优秀传统文化是中华文明的重要组成部分,对学前教育具有深远影响。儿童哲学能够帮助儿童在理解中华优秀传统文化的过程中发展批判性思维和自主判断能力,但在具体应用中存在对中华优秀传统文化内容选取标准不明确、中华优秀传统文化教育的深度不足、教师哲学教育的实践经验不足以及儿童的参与度不够和自主性不足等问题。建议:厘定中华优秀传统文化内容的选取标准,注重中华优秀传统文化内容的文本开发,强化儿童哲学探究共同体的应用。
