龍樹語言策略之哲學詮解 -- 從漢譯《中論》之「說」字作線索

法鼓佛學學報, 2008

This article takes various expressions using the Chinese term "speak" (shuo) as the basis for its investigation of Nāgārjuna's linguistic strategy. These include speak, unspeakable, unspoken, and spoken by prajñapti in the Chinese version of the Mūlamadhyamakākarikā. I first point out the two background causes that make the Buddha withdraw from preaching and remain in silence: the profundity of the Dharma and the limits of people's capacities. In response, the Mūlamadhyamakākarikā seems to reveal a two-sided strategy, i.e., confirmation and negation. On the one hand, it emphasizes the unspeakable to get rid of people's attachment, until at last all prapañcas have ceased, and one arrives at the unspoken. On the other hand, Mūlamadhyamakākarikā positively approves of the conventional truth and prajñapti to express that conventional linguistic cognition is necessary. The Mūlamadhyamakākarikā's theory of pratītya-samutpāda and śūnyatā, therefore, reveal double the aspects of negation and confirmation in Buddhist Philosophy and lead people to the way of nirvāṇa.

教育資料與圖書館學四十年之論文特徵剖析 The Profile of the Papers Published on the Journal of Educational Media & Library Sciences

Journal of Educational Media & Library Sciences, 2012

Research is the important process of knowledge exploration. Domain knowledge development can be improved by using research design and proper statistical methods meticulously as well as clearly and systematically displaying research results. In order to find out the evolving trend of Library and Information Science, its research design and statistical method is a topic worth exploring. By applying bibliometric and content analysis, this study investigates the 1,540 research papers published in the Journal of Educational Media & Library Sciences (JoEMLS) in the last 40 years. According to its history and mission statement, the researchers separate time span from 1970 to 2010 into four period, exploring the features of those published papers, including the type of articles, article languages, topics, structures, research designs and statistical methods. The results show as follow. During period 1, the type of articles are diversities. In addition , Chinese papers are dominate. Moreover, the top 3 categories of research papers are the study of "Library and Information Science"(66%), follows by the "Education"(15%). As for the paper structure, there are 2.73% papers applying ILMRAD and only 8 papers of them applying IMRAD. The most commonly adopted research design is Survey Method, among them, the study of "Library and Information Science" used more often (46.63%). As to the most commonly used statistical method is Descriptive Statistics (60.11%), secondly the T-Test (9.27%).

戰後臺灣古蹟保存之修復論述實踐的「技術史」研究

2013

古蹟保存之修復論述中再提出技術這一疑旨結構的主要意義,是為了意圖重新釐清古蹟保存與修復的真義,以及重新建立對於古蹟保存修復技術之實踐主體性的認識。更確切而言,它將指涉古蹟之保存修復論述的技術形構為何?本文認為,古蹟保存修復的論述實踐可說是基於「創新使用」的技術史,涉及的是技術的選擇與使用。概因保存修復技術所面對的處理對象-古蹟,既不是必然存在或生成的事物,亦非其存在或生成是由於自然作用的事物,而是可改變和可製作的事物;這種「實踐-造物」導向的技術本質,旨在製作的反思活動,是一種「造物」與「產生新知識」相結合的過程。這樣的技術建構,關乎的是「知的方法」,而不必然是創造新知識或新事物的方法。是故,與其稱之為技術,或許稱之為「技術產物」更為適當;它就如同古蹟的存在一樣,是特定之社會文化條件的意識形態脈絡下的產物。

大風起兮 歸故鄉-漢代懷鄉的政治脈絡與歷史意涵

2013

How did people in the Han (漢) Dynasty project their attachment to and imagination of hometown? What does this “hometown”refer to? These are the two questions which this thesis wants to ask. This thesis especially emphasizes the political context which personal feelings depend on and tries to explore how people in the Han Dynasty removed themselves from the indulgence and restraint of homesickness. How did an individual still keep different ways of emotional expression while sharing the same homesick atmosphere? The exhibition of these differences is called agency in this thesis. Chapter One explores how Liu Bang(劉邦) and Xiang Yu(項羽) felt homesick and their different relations and reactions to“hometown” according to the examples of choosing capital cities. What is involved includes not only emotional aspects but political calculations and rational reasoning. The two’s every decision was to seek for a balance between attachment with hometown and political calculations. In addition, th...

評論40篇臺灣學者發布於國際期刊的數據相似論文 Comment on 40 Taiwanese Scholars' Papers Published in International Journals with Common Numerical Research Results

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021

If the editor-in-chief of a Taiwanese academic journal receives papers filled with numerical data, equations, and tables submitted by European or American scholars, he/she would likely publish them without hesitation. The same mentality characterizes Indian, Pakistani and African academic journals, when they receive and publish Taiwanese papers. In particular, the titles of these papers are decorated with buzz words, such as cloud computing, electronics, smart capital, and elderly nursing homes, etc. As for American periodicals, it is because they charge an expensive publication fee. This study reveals that these papers share common numerical research results, some of which are self-contradictory. In addition, they usually cite Taiwanese master-degree thesis or self-citing controversial papers. International journals treat these papers with the mindset of reading Taiwanese experiences. However, with the advances in Internet communication and the diffusion of intellectual knowledge, third-world scholars will eventually find such papers controversial. These low-quality papers not only convey false knowledge, but also spread an improper mode of massproducing publications and academic misconduct.

當前東亞戰略局勢的地緣觀察:以「一帶一路」為核心的思考

2016

2013 年9、10 月間,中國國家主席習近平利用訪問中亞四國與印尼的機會,分別提出建設「絲綢之路經濟帶」與「21 世紀海上絲綢之路」的構想。而這樣的戰略意圖到底是如同中國外長王毅所強調的「不是地緣工具……不能用冷戰思維看待」,亦或是如解放軍少將喬良所稱「是跟美國戰略東移的一次對沖」。事實上,中國崛起在國際認知上,從來就沒有一致的認知,是否將會因經濟實力的變遷,而衝擊當前國際秩序,原本就在不同學派認知的爭議中劇烈衝撞。攤開地緣戰略地圖,如此大規模的跨區域戰略布局,不可能僅止於經濟、貿易、通商等低位階的安排,而不去調動高位階的國際政治與權力結構關係。因此,如何觀察這樣一個戰略安排的本質,如何理解其中的權力轉換,如何思考崛起中國在歐亞世界島的權力位置,而如此龐大的跨區域整合、鉅額的投資需求,複雜的權力重組,將會帶來的是無限美好的發展藍圖,亦或是新一輪冷戰的再起,基本上都是本文所關切,而亟欲思考、解決的議題。透過戰略局勢的地緣觀察,筆者認為,地緣的本質不變性與變動性,恰正可以提供超越意識形態認知的一條思維途徑。
