Xiufen Lu, The evolution of Li Dazhao's Chinese nationalism

I argue that traditional Chinese philosophy, especially the Daoist world view and Confucian ethics played a significant role in shaping Li's patriotic and nationalist stance. It also predisposed him intellectually to accept the internationalist characteristic of Marxism. 【作者认为,道家世界观和儒家伦理影响了李大钊的民族主义立场。】


David Leong, A new dialogue on Yijing -the book of changes in a world of changes, instability, disequilibrium and turbulence

The paper argues that Prigogine's expressions on dissipative structures and their role in thermodynamic systems far from equilibrium, complexity, and irreversibility resonate with the principles in Yijing. 【结合自然科学研究易经的变易】


Lunan Li, Reasserting the primacy of xing (human nature) and self-cultivation (xiushen): Li Cai's (1529-1607) defense of Confucianism against the interpenetration of the three teachings

Wielding the two concepts of 'zhizhi' (knowing the ultimate end) and 'xiushen' (self-cultivation) in the Great Learning, Li wrestled with Wang Yangming's teachings by reasserting the primacy of xing, insisting that moral reality must involve direct individual action in order to preserve the unity of substance and effort. 【研究王阳明之后的儒学家李材,此人反思王学,重提性的优先性。并且涉及三教问题。】


A. K. Jayesh, Am I the only mind that exists?

【本文反对唯我论(世界只有我的心灵存在,其他都是我的表象),结合龙树的理论。】


Hamidreza Mahboobi Arani, The silent speaker: A Nietzschean reading of Rūmī's aesthetics of lyric poetry

Associating lyric poetry with music in its origin and essence, Nietzsche extends his Schopenhauerian metaphysics of music to the lyric, making it a highly objective art reverberating from the abyss of existence, the Ur-Eine, expressing its intrinsic self-contradictory and agonizing nature. A similar understanding of the creative process of poetic composition in the lyric, which this article aims to elucidate, can also be found in some of Rūmī's ghazals and observations. These include a metaphysics of the unseen, a reunion through ecstasy and rapture, and a reflection and mirroring, initially through music and then through the lyric. 【在德国诗学中,原先追求客观而排斥抒情诗,尼采却恢复抒情传统,强调存在的深渊。波斯的鲁米(伊斯兰教苏菲派神秘主义诗人)同样强调通过音乐和抒情诗来触及未见之事。】


Yuhan Liang, Is there a universal priority in cases of value conflicts? —Reverse engineering Quan 權

I argue that quan represents a holistic thinking process that includes both impersonal and personal reasoning. 【研究“权”,认为它包括非个人推理和个人推理。】
