AnalysisonWesternEthicalTransferofConsentConceptandItsSuggestiveSolutiontoConsentIssue

LV Yao-huai

Consent is the core concept of consent theory in Western political science or political philosophy. Although it has gradually declined due to the end of its political mission and other reasons, the theory has spread from the political realm to other realms, achieving its transfer from politics concept to ethics. In contemporary Chinese society, there are a lot of practical consent issues. The consent and the ethics of consent prescribe possible governance prescriptions or provide the new reference framework for solving these consent issues. Since the 20th century, Western scholars have studied the consent or the consent issue from the perspective of general ethics, and have gradually formed and accumulated some valuable and meaningful research results on the ethics of consent. Therefore, to solve the consent issue in contemporary Chinese society, we can learn from the Western research findings in this area on the theoretical level. However, due to the different national conditions, including the different content, presentation forms, and related theoretical backgrounds of specific consent issue, it is necessary to critically learn from the consent and the ethics of consent derived from the West. Only through the long-term theoretical discussion and solid empirical research in coordination and repeated comparisons, and through continuous dialogue and negotiation of seeking common ground while reserving differences, can it be possible to gradually integrate the truthful core of the consent issue in the collision of the consent and the ethics of consent between the East and the West, and find a universal way to correctly resolve the consent issue.

EcologicalStudyofMarx’sPrometheus:HistoricalImplicationandModernSignificance

DONG Qi-qi, DANG Sheng-yuan

Prometheus has been mentioned many times in Marx writings, and “Prometheus” is not a simple archetypal image of Ancient Greek mythology, but has been endowed with complicated academic connotations and practical directions. Marx has not only endowed Prometheus with personal ideals, but also criticized the mechanical Prometheus of Proudhon. As antithesis, the mechanical Prometheus of Proudhon has been an important reference for understanding Marx’s thoughts, and provided a feasible path and method for further approaching Marx’s Prometheus. Since entering the era of ecological civilization, the academic problems and cultural phenomena surrounding Marx’s Prometheus have received a lot of public attentions, and triggered a hot discussion on contemporary Ecology: The representatives of Green trend have accused Marx’s thoughts of blindly pursuing the development of productive forces, which belong to typical anthropocentrism; Ecological Marxism not only clarifies, highlights and strengthens Marx’s original intentions, but also fully defends Marx’s ecological thoughts. In the process of contending and defending, Marx’s ecological viewpoints have constantly been rediscovered and reinterpreted, and their contemporary values have also been highlighted.

OnDissolutionApproachesofCriticalCounterexamples
betweenRestrictedQuantitativeDomainandMaterialImplication:
FourthCritiqueofMaterialImplicationParadoxfromFormalImplicationPerspective

ZHANG Jian-jun，ZHANG Shun

The formal implication perspective on “material implication paradoxes” is a predicate logic approach to resolve the “critical counterexamples” against the material implication theory. This approach is not a “high-level reiteration” of propositional logic characterization to conditional sentences, but a correction to the misuse of the classical propositional logic theorems in the analysis of conditional sentences. The “special formal implication”, based on restricted quantification domain, is the chief tool for solving “critical counterexamples”. The correct understanding of propositional functions and logical quantifiers, as well as the clear distinction between propositions and propositional functions, conditional propositions and conditional sentences, is essential to understanding the formal implication approach. To resolve the “extremely critical counterexamples” such as “Gibbard’s counterexample”, it needs to resort to the formal implication with overlapping quantifiers that captures “multiple generalizations”. The logical form of certain conditional sentences in natural language shall be captured by restricted quantification domain and special formal implication, then the logical mechanism of the community’s “being false intuition” or “being true intuition” on these conditional sentences can be clarified, which is helpful to natural language understanding by correctly applying classical logic, and enlightening to the reform of logic teaching system.

AStrongNationorAffluentNationals:RetrospectionofGovernanceIdealsandExperienceof
CommunistPartyofChinainInitialStageofCPCAll-roundAdministration

ZHANG Rui-min

Coordinating and handling the relationship between national construction and people’s life was the most prominent problem encountered by the Communist Party of China at the initial stage of its overall governance. In order to achieve the dream of a powerful country, the first generation of central collective leadership represented by Mao Zedong established the national strategy of giving priority to the development of heavy industry while the improvement of people’s livelihood was put in a relatively secondary position under the objective situation at home and abroad. During this period, both the theory of “holistic and temporary benevolent government” and the divergence in the theory of “nine heavens and nine earths” reflected this orientation. Meanwhile the basic pattern of the relationship between strengthening the country and enriching the People in the whole Mao Zedong era has been laid. However, it does not mean that the Communist Party of China has given up the goal of building the party for the public and assuming power for the people. Behind the contradiction between powerful country and rich people is the development road in the early stage of the construction of the Republic to ensure the people’s livelihood and strengthen the country as well as a strategy that has to be adopted under the internal and external environment. The basic pattern of the relationship between strengthening the country and enriching the people established at the early stage of the party’s overall governance has a long-term impact. However, in the historical process, people’s outlook and people’s livelihood view of the party’s have been continuously developing, which has laid the foundation for the adjustment of development strategy in the reform and opening-up later, and the people’s livelihood development index of “food and clothing-well-off-common prosperity” as a new coordinate on the road of national modernization. Nowadays, the “Chinese dream” closely combines the dream of great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with that of people’s happiness, “people’s livelihood first” has become the core governing philosophy of the Communist Party of China.

HistoricalProbeofWANGYangming’sEthicalExplanationofConfucianDeletion
andCompilationofSixClassicsfromPerspectiveofPurificationofCulturalEco-system

WANG Sheng-jun

As a historical metaphor, Confucius’ compilation of Six Classics has never been short of discussions about among scholars for generations, of which Wang Yangming contrasted it with “burning books by Emperor Shi Huang” from philosophical level and it shows the different guidance of innate-knowledge and private intention to cultural ecology as well as the political and cultural significance of compilation. Based on his theory of mind blinding and his logic of the difference between innate-knowledge and experiential knowledge, Wang Yangming also pointed out that the way from getting rid of the individual’s prejudice to purifying the knowledge system of authoritative works at the social level. What’s more, Wang Yangming revealed that the principle of documents compilation for “maintaining those favorable to demonstrate rules” and “deleting those harmful plot to forbid evils” by criticizing Cheng and Zhu. And he advocated that all kinds of opinions and words which could tempt human desire and corrupt customs should be gradually eliminated in the way of simulating Six Classics which is a commendation of orthodox theory, thus providing conditions for the display of innate-knowledge. The theory of compilation of Six Classics is an important complementary substitute to Wang Yangming’s innate-knowledge theory construction.

StoryPoeticsPerspectiveonChineseFolkTalesResearchinModernEra

LIU Shou-hua

Story poetics is a new direction in the study of story. Since the foundation of The People’s Republic of China, in the past 70 years, the study of folktales has accumulated abundant academic achievements. On the whole, multi-disciplinary research on the story has formed the diversity of methodology, promoted the interdisciplinary development of story study, and expanded the study from the Chinese literature to Humanities and social sciences. Based on the research process of “Seeking Good Luck” story type(AT461) and the cases in the compilation of Chinese Folktale, this paper takes the current times as the background of the discipline, and rethinks about the methodology. Moving towards the story poetics will become a new academic orientation for two reasons, firstly, folk story research needs to return to the aesthetic method of literature and art; secondly, the selection principle of folktales should highlight the classic text and its poetic value, so that it will bring new enlightenment on the study of folktale. In addition, Chinese folktales are mainly developed and matured in the trinity pattern of folk literature, popular literature and writers ’literature. The exploration of study poetics will help to discover the fine genes of Chinese civilization in the stories. It will open up a new theoretical path for folktales to return to the tradition of Literature study and the public orientation, especially for the Youth to build their Chinese spiritual and cultural homeland.

FromCross-borderE-commercetoGlobalDigitalTrading:
AReexaminationPerspectivefromGlobalTransmissionofCOVID-2019

MA Shu-zhong， PAN Gang-jian

The global transmission of COVID-19 has caused tremendous impact on the world economy,which attaches great practical significance to the international trade through cross-border e-commerce and even global digital trade. Digital trade is a new trade activity based on digital platform to realize the precise exchange of physical goods,digital products and services,digital knowledge and information through the effective use of digital technology,and then promote the transformation of consumption internet to industrial internet and finally realizing the intelligent manufacturing industry. Global digital trade is an advanced form of cross-border e-commerce development,with the characteristics of platform,globalization,digitization and personalization. In the near future,it will complete the iteration of cross-border e-commerce,and become the general international trade in the era of digital economy. From the macro,meso and micro level analysis of the current situation,we can find that the global transmission of COVID-19 is both an opportunity and a challenge for the development of cross-border e-commerce and the global digital trade for the iteration of cross-border e-commerce. The Chinese government should seize the opportunity and meet the challenge,formulate the short-term strategies to promote the development to cross-border e-commerce and the long-term strategies to promote global digital trade to iterate cross border e-commerce.
