Emergence of a techno-legal specialty: Animal tests to assess chemical safety in the UK, 1945–1960

It has been suggested that knowledge domains which emerge within regulatory science represent a compromise between technical knowledge and policy priorities. This article investigates the claim through consideration of the emergence of animal tests to evaluate chemical safety in the UK between 1945 and 1960. During this period there was a proliferation of new chemical-based innovations in consumer products. The situation gave rise to concerns about the potential impact on public health. Solutions required development of a knowledge domain that would fulfil policy requirements, outside the remit of academic science. Lack of consensus in the scientific field gave rise to debate over the best means to collect accurate data. This resulted in emergence of the new specialty of safety testing, in response to political and industrial needs. The socio-political context of this case illustrates the impact that organisational setting can have on shaping knowledge claims.     

The Whewell-Mill debate on predictions,from Mill's point of view

John Stuart Mill, in his debate with William Whewell on the nature and logic of induction, is regarded as being the first to dismiss the supposed value of successful predictions as merely psychological. I shall argue that this view of the Whewell-Mill debate on predictions misconstrues Mill’s position and argument. From Mill’s point of view, the controversial point was not the question whether predictions ‘count more’ than ex-post explanations but the alleged assertion by Whewell that the successful predictions of the wave theory of light prove the existence of the ether. Mill argued that, on the one hand, the predictions of the wave theory of light do not and cannot provide evidence for the existence of the ether; as evidence for the laws of the theory, on the other hand, the predictions are superfluous, the laws being already well-confirmed. Mill actually endorsed a requirement of independent support closely resembling Whewell’s requirements for hypotheses; the controversy on the value of predictions is a product of the 20th century.

浅析政治辩论中的语气隐喻功能

在借鉴前人研究成果的基础上,着眼于政治辩论这一特定的文体,以二零零四年布什和克里的第一场总统辩论赛文本为语料,尝试着把语气隐喻作为一种视角,旨在分析政治辩论语篇中语气隐喻的言语功能。试图说明语气隐喻不仅是政治辩论的一种语言特色,而且对实现辩论的目的有着重要的作用。从而加深英语学习者对目标语的理解和感悟,更有效地提高他们对目标语的运用和交际能力。

生物多样性学发展中几个基本问题的探讨

近10年来,生物多样性科学的理论和方法取得了显著进展,高度交叉学科-“生物多样性学”孕育而生。但是,诸如生物多样性的生态系统功能、生物多样性与生态系统过程、生物多样性的测度、生物多样性的维持格局与丧失机制等一直是研究的热点和难点,仍在讨论和争论中发展。本文从生物多样性学的理念出发,对生物多样性研究中几个基本问题进行探讨,分析了生物多样性学框架的科学范畴。指出构建以生物多样性保育为核心目标的生物多样性学科体系和框架是生物多样性研究发展的必要。生物多样性学应始终重视实验研究和理论演绎,并不断重视哲学和思维过程。     

先秦儒家诸子“正名”逻辑思想探微

以孔子、孟子、荀子为代表的中国先秦儒家"正名"学派,其"正名"逻辑思想是一种重视内涵性的概念逻辑系统。他们在许多方面提出了独特的新见解,充实和发展了儒家"正名"逻辑理论学说。     

试探美国宪法诞生之初的辩论——读《联邦党人文集》

费城会议及会后在各种公开场合的辩论与美国宪法相伴相生,而《联邦党人文集》即是这场大辩论的产物。虽然这部宪法也许仍过于保守,但这种保守恰是辩论双方在坚守原则之基础上互相妥协的体现。通过《联邦党人文集》,我们能感受到那场辩论伴随着美国宪法的诞生,而实质上那场辩论是建立在共识之基础上,也铸造出美国宪法与众不同的特征。     

Dealing with Human Relations in Chinese Systems Practice

This paper is about the Wuli, Shili, Renli (WSR) systems methodology. An important concept within this, Renli, has been developed from Confucian philosophy to clarify to Chinese researchers the necessity of dealing with human relations in systems practice. At present, the only formal means of operationalizing Renli that people are exploring in China is to import from the West methods for organizing debate. However, the concept of Renli suggests that more is needed than methods alone. In particular, facilitation skills are required. It is argued that the development of facilitation skills can be enhanced if researchers can gain both theoretical and practical knowledge of group dynamics, and engage in activities of self-reflection to look at, and alter, their own roles in these dynamics and the wider sociopolitical system. There are therefore three aspects to Renli: the use of systems methods for organizing debate, the acquisition of facilitation skills, and self-reflection geared toward the development of facilitation skills and enhanced critical awareness of the politics of intervention.
