China's Affirmative Action Policy For Ethnic Minority Students.Docx, Caitlin Shea
Caitlin Shea
This study investigates and critically analyzes the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) preferential policy for ethnic minority students (少数民族的优惠政策) through the use of a case study conducted at Hexi University in Zhangye, Gansu. This study examines how the national preferential policy for ethnic minority students is implemented at a university level and how it is perceived by teachers and students in order to better understand and assess the impact and purpose of the policy. The study is driven by three questions; how is the PRC’s preferential policy for ethnic minority students implemented at a university level? Is the preferential policy …

2017年4月26日，美国著名儒家学者安靖如（Stephen C. Angle）教授应邀来到山东大学中心校区，与山东社会科学院青年儒家学者郭萍博士就“有根的全球哲学”、“进步儒学”和“自由儒学”的相关问题进行了一次对话。安靖如先生指出，他所创建的“进步儒学”是一种“有根的全球哲学”，与“综合儒学”在方法论上有着根本的区别：前者是基于单一传统认可意义上“有根的”发展，后者是“双重认可”意义上“综合性的”发展。二者虽然表面近似，而且各有好处，但作为儒家学者必须对此加以区分，以便弄清各种儒学理论据以展开的价值立场和思路方法。对此，致力于创建“自由儒学”理论的郭萍博士提出了自己的理解，并且从“有根的”和“全球的”维度上介绍了“自由儒学”的理论特质。进而，双方基于各自的理论视角，就现代语境下的儒家德性观念以及自由平等与个体权利、美国儒学研究的转向等问题做了广泛地交流，由此在保持各自不同的理论思考的同时，体现出双方坚持立足儒学传统，发展现代价值的思想共识。

2017年4月25日，应尼山书院邀请，中国儒家学者、山东大学儒学高等研究院教授黄玉顺先生与美国儒家学者、维思大学（Wesleyan University）哲学系教授安靖如先生共聚济南大明湖畔，以“中美儒学对话：生活儒学与进步儒学”为题举行对话，共同探讨世界儒学发展方向。安靖如先生是西方儒学代表人物之一，提出“进步儒学”（Progressive Confucianism）理论，以表达对儒学发展方向、理路等一系列问题的看法。他把儒学理解为一个活的、发展中的传统，强调进步儒学最重要的方法论概念是“有根的全球哲学”，即儒学的发展必须既是源自儒家传统的（有根的），又是敞开的（全球的）。黄玉顺先生所创立的“生活儒学”理论，意在发掘儒学所蕴涵的某些能够穿越时空、超越历史地域的观念。生活儒学突破“形上→形下”的观念架构，揭示“生活存在→形而上存在者→形而下存在者”的观念层级，强调回归生活本身及其仁爱情感，重建儒家的形上学和形下学，使儒学能够真正有效地切入当今世界的社会生活。对话过程中，两位儒家分别阐述了各自理论的创构背景、方法架构和核心观念，并且以儒学与自由主义的关系为中心进行深入地互动交流，在展现了各自独特的思想个性的同时取得了广泛共识。特别是在儒学发展之“有根的”立场和现代性的价值取向上，“进步儒学”与“生活儒学”可谓高度一致。

Response To Danielle Macbeth, Stephen C. Angle
Stephen C. Angle
This short piece is a response to Danielle Macbeth's essay “The Place of Philosophy.” In her essay, Macbeth has two principal goals: to diagnose the plight of contemporary Western—and especially analytic—philosophy, and to argue for an alternative conception of philosophy’s role, according to which engagement with its history and with the philosophies of other cultures becomes crucial. I have a great deal of sympathy with both halves of her project, and feel I have learned a considerable amount from her essay. As Macbeth herself emphasizes, though, the a priori and dialectical nature of philosophy urges readers to see for …

Comments On Joseph Chan, Confucian Perfectionism, Stephen C. Angle
Stephen C. Angle
I approach this encounter with Joseph Chan’s important work on Confucian perfectionism from a fundamentally sympathetic standpoint. Most basically, I agree with two of his key premises. Confucianism is more than a rich historical tradition: it is a live strand of political (and other types of) theory, able to criticize and contribute to our lives today. But for modern Confucianism to be plausible and attractive, it must find a way to embrace the idea of limited government or constitutionalism in a deeper fashion than it did historically. There are many other issues that Joseph covers in his book, and on …

When A Joke Is More Than A Joke: Humor As A Form Of Networked Practice In The Chinese Cyber Public Sphere, Mathew Yates, Reza Hasmath
Reza Hasmath
Received wisdom views political humor, viz. egao, in the Chinese cyber public sphere as a form of resistance. This study creates and tests a framework that best conceptualizes how different functions of egao are connected with one another: to analyze the patterns of ties that link the different facets of the phenomenon together. The study contends that by framing egao within network society theory, we can appreciate its fluidity and better understand its online ubiquity. Analysis of survey data suggests that it is not the content solely but the networked practice of egao that dictates its true function. Namely, the …

The Impact Of The European Union’S Policy Towards China’S Intellectual Property Regime, Natalia Wyzycka, Reza Hasmath
Reza Hasmath
This article evaluates the effectiveness of two major European Union technical assistance programmes, IPR2 and IP Key, in shaping China’s regional intellectual property (IP) enforcement. It argues that although technical assistance programmes have been effective in influencing the national IP legal framework, it has been less successful in assisting regional policy enforcement. This is primarily the result of divergent economic priorities at the sub-national level. The article further assesses potential priorities for future IP technical assistance.
