Philosophical Reflections on Science:From Defense to Reconsideration LIU Da-chun, ZHANG Lin-xian 2010, (2):  5-12.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (2157KB) ( )   In the contemporary era,there are mainly three different orientations of reflection on science,namely,defense to advocate science,criticism to question science,and reconsideration to examine science.In the course of intensified contests,the tendencies of defending science and criticizing science are apt to go to extremes.This abnormal situation may eventually lead to a conversion to the position of the so called reconsideration.Reconsideration provides a proper way for a comprehensive and thorough understanding of science.It is especially appropriate for those Chinese who tend to vacillate between the two extremes and are in urgent need to establish a scientific spirit.

Enhancing Innovation in Applied Economics through Development of Marxist Political Economics CHENG En-fu, WANG Chao-ke 2010, (2):  13-17.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1161KB) ( )   The development and reform of social economy have proved the vitality and scientific value of Marxist economics.Marxist economics not only provides guidance for social economic practice,but is also of orientation value to innovation of applied economics that has been trapped in "academic colonialism".Yet realization of this orientation value remains a complicated systemic project.It must be made clear that Marxist economics is a scientific system with the dual structure of theoretical economics and applied economics.What we should do is to establish the meta-theory of Marxist theoretical economics,clarify the nature,subjects,and tasks of different types of applied economics,analyze the relation of the meta-theory of Marxist economics and applied economics,identify the link between the two,decide the logical development path of various schools of applied economics accordingly,and thus construct the content framework of applied economics.

Emancipation of Productivity Robert Well, LI xiu-ling 2010, (2):  48-53.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (2146KB) ( )   A more scientific interpretation of Marx’s historical materialism is the key to enhance development of Marxism.It is generally accepted that historical materialism shows that history follows a regular development course,and the superiority of communism is mainly manifested in greater productivity.The author,however,holds a different idea,claiming that historical materialism should be re-interpreted from a completely different perspective.In other words,many ideas need be re-examined.Cases in point are productivity and productive relation in capitalism,their interaction,and the exact social form of communism.

On Marx’s Transformation of Feuerbach’s Humanism LI Wen-cheng 2010, (2):  54-60.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1864KB) ( )   Marx’s relation with Feuerbach experienced three phases.They are the positive phase when Marx was under the influence of Feuerbach,the negative phase when Marx broke away from Feuerbach,and the phase of double negation when Marx accepted the rational elements of Feuerbach’s ideas.Marx then transformed Feuerbach’s humanism in the light of Marxist historical materialism and the surplus theory,and established his theory about man,also referred to as scientific humanism.Scientific humanism and historical materialism are consistent with each other.They are two inter-related and inseparable aspects of Marxist philosophy.Therefore,we should stick to the unity of the two and,in practice,combine the economic and social development with human development.We should also adhere to the people-oriented scientific concept of development.

Status,Difference and Identity:The Citizen Conception of Contemporary Multiculturalism PANG Jin-you 2010, (2):  88-94.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (2013KB) ( )   Ethnicity is the core concept of contemporary multiculturalism.It is in effect a special type of citizenship.The conception of differentiated citizenship was advanced by multiculturalism when confronted with the universal citizen conception of liberalism.Differentiated citizenship emphasizes commonality of ethnical differences based on the recognition of the equal right of citizens.The conception of differentiated citizenship claims that ethnical identity is an essential precondition of national identity,and national identity is the spiritual foundation of ethnical difference.As far as the citizen-state relationship is concerned,multiculturalism advocates a positive state conception,that is,the state should actively safeguard the minority rights.The author concludes that differentiated citizenship conception and differentiated politics developed on the basis of differentiated citizenship conception offer beneficial inspirations to ethnical politics in a multi-ethnic state.
