In researching human nature, he expatiates on the problems of mind （xin） and human nature （xing）, natural instincts （tian xing） and virtues （de xing）, and general character and individual character; in emphasizing personality, he puts forward the idea that the ideal personality is ＂free personality as a member of ordinary people;＂ in probing into the problems of human freedom, he explains how to get freedom from the basis of practical materialism. This philosophical inquiry enriches Chinese Marxist philosophy＇s researches into the understanding of humanity and the connection of philosophy with the living world, which opens up a new area of development in the sinicization of Marxist philosophy.展开更多

“Nothing can come of nothing”作为莎士比亚悲剧《李尔王》中的一句经典台词,深刻地绘就了早期李尔的精神底色。“无中不能生有”这个重要的哲学命题,自从被古希腊哲学家巴门尼德提出后,便为后世的西方哲学家所普遍讨论。在《李尔王...“Nothing can come of nothing”作为莎士比亚悲剧《李尔王》中的一句经典台词,深刻地绘就了早期李尔的精神底色。“无中不能生有”这个重要的哲学命题,自从被古希腊哲学家巴门尼德提出后,便为后世的西方哲学家所普遍讨论。在《李尔王》的英文原著中,“nothing”具有多元的内在含义。“有”与“没有”的讨论涉及了亲情、爱情多个方面,主人公观念中两者二元关系的转变也演绎着关于“真人”的成长故事。不论是对个体存在状态的呈现还是对人与自然动态关系的思考,《李尔王》都极具历史与现实两个维度的哲学价值。《李尔王》在双线索的交织中塑造出一众个性迥异而鲜明的人物形象,“有”与“没有”之间,暗含着“爱”的形式与本质之争,藏匿着“真人”成长蜕变的隐性轨迹。透过失势、战争、死亡、赎罪,我们思考生命存在的意义,审视社会关系的复杂,收获深沉的人性力量。展开更多

Chinese, Western and Marxist philosophies must break disciplinary segmentation and take the reality of Chinese society and its trends of development as their common platform of thinking. By using their respective intellectual resources, they should endeavor to build up a social philosophy thatmay satisfy the needs of Chinese people and China＇s development, and is able to provide guides to their life and practice.展开更多

We first elaborate on mutually informing disciplines of philosophy and computer science, or more specifically the relationship between metaphysics, epistemology, ontology, computing and AI, followed by a technically in-depth discussion of DEBRA, our dependency tree based concept hierarchy constructor, which as its name alludes to, constructs a conceptual map in the form of a directed graph which illustrates the concepts, their respective relations, and the implied ontological structure of the concepts as encoded in the text, decoded with standard Python NLP libraries such as spaCy and NLTK. With this work we hope to both augment the Knowledge Representation literature with opportunities for intellectual advancement in AI with more intuitive, less analytical, and well-known forms of knowledge representation from the cognitive science community, as well as open up new areas of research between Computer Science and the Humanities with respect to the application of the latest in NLP tools and techniques upon literature of cultural significance, shedding light on existing methods of computation with respect to documents in semantic space that effectively allows for, at the very least, the comparison and evolution of texts through time, using vector space math.展开更多
