文化大学与知识创新力的提升——第二届湖湘高等教育学者高峰论坛实录

中国社会需要知识创新。大学是知识传承、创新与应用的重要场所,也是文化传承与创新的重要载体,在面对知识创新的社会要求时,大学需要重新回到其文化立场来审视创新力的来源。文化与知识相关,但与知识不同,其本质乃是属人的,与人的创造力、心灵自由与教养相关,并积淀和承载着人类在传统中的那些共通性的价值。当文化培养的是健全人格和良好教养,指向人的心灵自由与开放性的假想与猜想时,文化就能内生出创新力。当前中国大学在各种制度化困境和精神困境中缺少创新力,大学鲜有创新。在这一背景下,中国大学应该回到其文化本性,建设文化大学,以育人为核心,以开发学生潜能、培育自由心灵和健全人格为基本目标,提高文化创新力,完成大学自身特殊的社会使命与责任。要建设文化大学,大学需要不断实现大学自治与学术自由,重视文化传承与通识教育,回到哲学引领和知识分子的文化自觉,通过产学研结合,以育人为主提升创新力,把握向文化型大学转变的挑战与机遇。

Urban Hierarchy of Innovation Capability and Inter-city Linkages of Knowledge in Post-reform China

The 2000s has witnessed increasing interests in cities′role of innovation in the era of knowledge-based economy.Compared with substantial empirical analysis on the world city hierarchy of innovation,this paper attempts to examine the national urban hierarchy of innovation capability in China,in terms of ranking systems,spatial pattern and inter-city linkages of knowledge during the post-reform period since the late 1970s.Based on quantitative analysis such as principal component factor analysis and clustering analysis,this paper identifies the five-tier hierarchy of in-novation,which is headed by Beijing and Shanghai,followed by the capital cities of each province and regional centre cities.The development of China′s urban hierarchy of innovation capability has been driven by such factors as the scale of innovation,scientific scale,innovation potential and innovation environment.The paper further investigates the inter-city linkages of knowledge measured by the number of co-authored papers among the cities.Beijing is positioned in the central position of the knowledge diffusion and knowledge cooperation innovation.More knowledge diffusion among high level cities has occurred than that among the low level cities as well as between the low level cities and high level cities,and provincial capital cities and the regional central cities.

社会学本土化议题:争辩、症结与出路

社会学本土化或中国化是一个民国时期就已提出的议题。自20世纪80年代社会学学科在中国恢复重建以来,这个议题就不断被提出、讨论和争论。大致来说,围绕社会学本土化的争论产生了两大阵营:本土化倡议者和本土化反对者。本文首先对双方的争辩进行了梳理,然后分析了社会学本土化问题的症结所在,最后指出了解决社会学本土化问题的出路。文章认为,社会学本土化的讨论应深入到"知识创新力不足"的制度根源问题。知识创新力不足问题解决了,社会学本土化就是水到渠成的事情。
