Interreligious Testimonial Dialogue in the Immanent Frame of a Secular Age Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-08-21 Andrew Tsz Wan Hung
This paper explores the plausible approach of interreligious dialogue in a secular world. It first examines Taylor’s account of the immanent frame in his A Secular Age. This helps us to grasp the moral spiritual outlook of the modern world and the underlying moral concerns of the controversies between the religions and secularists. I then examine Taylor’s claim regarding the indispensability of transcendence

The Constitution of Hierarchy Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-25 Adrian Vermeule
Drawing upon Roman public law and the classical Western ius commune generally, I sketch a law-governed constitution of hierarchy, including its institutional form and its basic justification. Grounded in a popular delegation of sovereign authority and power (imperium and potestas) to the Roman emperors and subordinate officials, the constitution of hierarchy is pervasively shaped and constrained by

On the Relationship Between Factor Loadings and Component Loadings When Latent Traits and Specificities are Treated as Latent Factors Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-07-26 Kentaro Hayashi, Ke-Hai Yuan, Peter M. Bentler
Most existing studies on the relationship between factor analysis (FA) and principal component analysis (PCA) focus on approximating the common factors by the first few components via the closeness between their loadings. Based on a setup in Bentler and de Leeuw (Psychometrika 76:461–470, 2011), this study examines the relationship between FA loadings and PCA loadings when specificities are treated

“Radicalism” and “Conservatism”: The Philosophical Argument of Human Enhancement Technologies (HET) and Its Resolution Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Xianfei Yi, Zhuang Liu
The philosophical debate between “radicalism” and “conservatism” in emerging human enhancement technologies (HET) has never ceased. Although their theoretical claims seem to be distinct from each other, they actually share certain commonalities, which are mainly manifested in three aspects: first, they both hold certain illusions about emerging HET; second, they both reflect the loss of human subjectivity

Home and its meanings and significance have received extensive examination within the disciplines of anthropology, psychology, sociology, philosophy, human geography, and history.

Hierarchies and the Complementarity of Authority and Equality Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Emmanuel Picavet
Authority involves hierarchy and is a component of many patterns of useful collective action, capacity-building for addressing needs, and social cooperation generally speaking. However, hierarchy has its drawbacks and it must be questioned from a normative point of view, in a critical manner. To a significant degree, the complexity of the matter originates in the fact that efficient and structured

Librealism's Boundaries in Addressing the Climate Crisis: Insights from Domenico Losurdo and Posthumanism Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-04-16 Sungjin Park
This study critically examines the limitations of liberalism in effectively addressing the climate crisis, informed by Domenico Losurdo’s critique and the lens of posthumanism.

Hard Paternalism and Confucian Familism Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-24 Andrew Tsz Wan Hung
In this paper, I criticize Joel Feinberg’s argument of soft paternalism, which stands against hard paternalism, as being untenable. As assessing one’s voluntariness is very difficult and controversial, paternalistic measures would be preferable to be implemented by hard paternalism rather than soft paternalism. I then examine four usual criticisms of hard paternalism from the perspective of utilitarianism

Today’s Political Puzzle: Hierarchy, Equality and Legitimacy Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Jean-Marc Coicaud
I proceed in four steps. First, I indicate what is to be understood by hierarchy and equality and the different areas in which this understanding can be at play. Second, I highlight that in the current era, it is through the mediation of equality that hierarchy is mainly apprehended. Third, I analyze how the relations between hierarchy and equality and their respective importance are connected with

Social Meritocracy and Unjust Social Hierarchies: Three Proposals to Limit Meritocracy’s Erosion of Social Cooperation Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Elena Ziliotti
A well-functioned society depends on its ability to nurture, attract, and deploy talents in critical sectors. However, the implementation of some meritocratic principles to allocate positions often leads to unjust social hierarchies. Is there, then, a solution to meritocracy’s dysfunctional hierarchical effects? This paper attempts to answer this by drawing on the real-world cases of Singapore and

Are Informal and Semi-formal Hierarchical Lists Justified? Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2023-11-27 Avner de Shalit
In their important book, Bell and Wang argue that hierarchies are here to stay, and the question moral philosophy should face is which hierarchies are morally condemnable and which are morally justifiable. They convincingly explain that hierarchies that contribute to social functioning and increase human well-being (often even benefitting those on the lower ranking of hierarchies) or hierarchies with

Defamiliarizing Reality for Mental and Physical Subjection: Rereading Harold Pinter’s The Room and The Dumb Waiter as Political Comedies Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2023-09-07 Ahmed Abdulkhair Abulmagd Khaled
While Pinter's earliest plays have been recognized in the modernist history of theatre as comedies of menace and his later plays as political comedies, this article argues that his earliest plays are equally very liable to be interpreted as political comedies. Regardless of their absurdist dramatization of people's helpless exposure to external, unidentifiable threats, a common post-WWII characteristic

Understanding the Roles of Genius and Taste in the Production of Beauty: A Kantian Approach to Artistic Intention Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2023-09-05 Yin Zhang
The intention of achieving objectives through art seemingly conflicts with Kant’s tenet that judgments of taste should be devoid of conceptual determinations. According to Kant, beautiful art must be viewed as the product of genius, a rare gift of nature that operates through the work of aesthetic ideas. This prompts inquiries into the respective roles of genius and taste in the production of beautiful

What is crucial in assessing Cornell realism is distinguishing

Social Meanings of Attempted Suicide of Men in Bangladesh Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-09-14 Anisur Rahman Khan, Sipho Dlamini, Kopano Ratele
Émile Durkheim’s Le Suicide (1897/2005) paved the way for the development of the sociology of suicide. However, Durkheim’s positivistic approach in studying suicide was trenchantly challenged by, amongst others, Jack Douglas, who, in Social Meanings of Suicide (1968), advocated extricating the social meanings of suicide from the interpretive tradition of social research. Drawing on Douglas’ approach

The Semantic Equivalence Between the Good and the Right: Its Support for and Challenge to Consequentialism Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-08-04 Qingping Liu
Viewed from the perspective of meta-ethics, there is some semantic equivalence between the good as desirability and the right as acceptability, so that we can claim that whatever is desirable for a person is also acceptable to and thus right for her or him in terms of its very goodness. In the debate with deontology, then, this equivalence gives consequentialism an advantage, because it could prove

Atomism, Communitarianism, and Confucian Familism Fudan Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences (IF 2.3) Pub Date : 2022-01-16 Andrew T. W. Hung
Charles Taylor criticizes many liberal theories based on a kind of atomism that assumes the individual self-sufficiency outside the polity. This not only causes soft-relativism and political fragmentation but also undermines the solidarity of the community, that is, the very condition of the formation of autonomous citizens. Taylor thus argues for communitarian politics which protects certain cultural
