What Kind of a Discipline Is Philosophy ZOU Shi-peng 2006, (4):  5-11.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (868KB) ( )   The criterion that determines philosophy as a purely theoretical study comes from the traditional classification of disciplines that separates basic research and practical research.According to this classification,philosophy is simplified to metaphysics,but this over-simplification fails to see the practical function of metaphysics or the general position of philosophy established in the traditional division of knowledge disciplines as a whole. Under circumstances of modernity,the cooperation of natural science,technology and social sciences further pushes philosophy to humanities and it becomes an unpopular discipline.However,in light of its connotation and the practical functions it is supposed to perform,philosophy should be considered a branch of multi-disciplinary theoretical study.In essence,philosophy should not be viewed only as an independent discipline.

On Problems with Referendums Dean Lacy, Emerson Niou 2006, (4):  36-45.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (980KB) ( )   When some voters have nonseparable preferences across multiple binary issues,majority rule may not select a Condorcet winning set of outcomes when one exists,and the social choice may be a Condorcet loser or Pareto-dominated by every other set of outcomes.We evaluate potential solutions to the problem of nonseparable preferences in referendums,including set-wise voting,sequential voting,and vote-trading.Sequential voting and vote-trading prevent the selection of Condorcet losers and universally Pareto-dominated outcomes.Legislatures facilitate sequential voting and vote-trading better than referendums,suggesting that referendums increase the quantity of participants in democratic decisionmaking but decrease the quality of participation.
