Abstract

Cultural Selection in Evolution（p. 1）FEI Duo-yi（The Chinese Society for Dialectics of Nature, Beijing;the Research Center on the Philosophy of Science and Technology in Shanxi University, Taiyuan,Shanxi） With the rapid development of information technology and medical level, another form of human evolution has come into being. We are trying to get over Da~inian＇ s doctrine of natural evolution into artificial evolution. The latter can not only reproduce life, but also compel us to redefine the parameter of life. The continuous electronization and symbolization of person＇ s identity bring about more controversies on existent character of human. Thus, the human subjectivity is forced to be explained again.

历法改革与政治统治

Historians of science who have read The Way and the Word will be aware that, although its theme was comparative, its largest point had to do with method. It demonstrated a general approach to historical study that makes sense of the past in ways that narrower approaches have failed to do.     

爱因斯坦的第三乐园

Ⅰ Historians of modern science have good reasons to be grateful to Paul Arthur Schilpp, professor of philosophy and Methodist clergyman but better known as the editor of a series of volumes on" Living Philosophers", including several on scientist-philosophers. His motto was:"The asking of questions about a philosopher's meaning while he is alive." And to his everlasting credit, he persuaded Albert Einstein to do what he had resisted all his years: to sit down to write, in 1946 at age sixty-seven, an extensive autobiography-forty-five pages long in print.

伊斯兰精密科学对印度及其邻国的传播和影响

Ⅰ Let me first clarify that science as developed in Islamic cultural areas or societies during the Middle Ages is abbreviated here as Islamic Science. In that context, the Exact Science is confined to astronomy (including mathematical geography) and mathematics only; physics was then a part of natural philosophy, and chemistry a branch of medicine.     

《法拉第的再发现:关于他的生平和工作,1791—1867》

将一次会议的论文结集出版,而形成一本很有意义的学术著作,这样的例子恐怕不很多见。伹《法拉第的再发现:关于他的生平和工作,1791—1867》(Faraday Rediscovered.Essays on the Life and Work of Michael Faraday,1791—1867,London:Macmillan,1986)大概要算是个例外。这本论文集就是在1984年英国皇家学会召开的一次会
