This paper claims that his comments upon passages in Republic 10 overl Plato＇s ook the Ion and status of the Republic as itself a work of dramatic mimesis, ignore the dialectical form of the work, and miss that in various dialogues, Plato evinces a high view of poetry and the arts and even envisions a techne poietike. The paper defends these claims by constructing a three-stage argument that Plato holds a high view of poetry： （1） It first sketches an outline of a reading of the Ion as a dialogue that, despite being aporetic, nevertheless points ahead to a Socratic philosophizing that is craft-like and open to divine inspiration, and not only recognizes the value of poetry but also sometimes composes poetry; （2） Then, it discusses Socrates＇ use, in his conversational strategies in the Republic, of the techne of rhetoric described in the Phaedrus; and finally, （3） It considers four arguments against mimetic poetry in Republic 10 （598b8-606d7）, and sketches an interpretation of them that takes issue with Janaway＇s. It argues that they are meant to invite readers to a higher dialectical standpoint, from which might come into view the value of mimetic poetry to a community guided by a Basilike techne展开更多

This discussion, established in the dialogue in theoretical terms, is the philosophic answer to the historical problem implied in the ancient criticism to the traditional paideia. According to the new epistemological criteria of philosophy, a genuine knowledge must appear as a discursive instance that could transmit abilities subject to exposition by means of rational arguments and, at the same time, capable of pointing out its universal principles. Our purpose is to demonstrate that the theoretical competence of the rhapsodist is reformulated by Socrates so as to be placed in an aesthetic register, the foundation of which cannot be subsumed under the epistemic regime with which the issue of the technai is dealt with. Thus, the version exposed in Plato＇s Ion regarding the nature of the rhapsodist＇s singing does not contradict the Homeric tradition, inasmuch as for Homer, the instance that integrates the memory of the community with that of the aoidos is his disposition to immediately manifest the exemplary images, for the audience to experiment a visual reception where the discursive dimension is consumed as the element in which the concrete representation of memory is expressed展开更多

For that purpose, Aristotle distinguishes physis from rechne and his domain. He did this to offer a satisfactory account of the physical being. In this process, phf;sis is defined as an immanent principle of movement and as matter and as form. As matter physis could be understood as ＂the primary underlying matter in each case, of things which have in themselves a source of their movements and changes＂. To consider physis as form Aristotle appeals to four arguments where priority of form over matter appears to be evident and where the identifying of eidos/morphe with to telos/to hou heneka will be crucial, especially for later developments. The reconstruction of Aristotle＇s reasoning on his definition ofphysis in Physics B 1 emphasizing the problems that such effort of definition implies is the purpose of this paper.展开更多

The corporate intranet is connected with Internet, which constitutes the hardware of the system. The s ystem adopts modern voice-identification technology for user authentication to enable secure access to key databases and thus enhance the security of system da tabases. The software system consists of four modules: 1. Corporate website and advertisement information system, intending for updatin g online advertisement, collecting and analyzing market research information. 2. Employee technology training and assessment system, including a variety of co urses containing technology, technique and management and so on. Login the training system, employees are able to study courses of technology or technique or others. The training system adopts modern multimedia E-Learning te chnology and in fact it is an innovative education method, which includes self- study, tutorship and lecture. It is able to help employees enjoy their learning. Employees can take simulative exams, and managers can test employees onlin e periodically. 3. Corporate decision-making management system, calculating and analyzing the o peration, predicting future development, facilitating communication between mana gers and employees. It provides valuable foundation for decisions, which enables managers to make strategic decisions and scientific management. 4. E-commerce online transaction system, which facilitates material purchase an d product sale. By using intelligent e-commerce system, corporations will enhance the employee’ s skills and management level, reduce production cost, promote product sale , and thus strengthen corporation’s market competitiveness effectively.展开更多

Translation is no longer regarded as merely a cross-linguistic activity but essentially cross-cultural communication. Cultural factors begin to gain more and more attention to translators. Nida even claims that"for truly successful translating, biculturalism is even more important than bilingualism". Therefore, this thesis will focus on analyzing the influence of cultural differences between Chinese and English on the English translation. This thesis firstly discusses embodiments of cultural differences between Chinese and English; after that, it focuses on influences of cultural differences on translation; last but not least, this thesis also suggests some translating techniques.展开更多
