يبحث كتاب محمد المصباحي الذات في الفكر العربي الإسلامي في صور الذات الفلسفية والصوفية، الفردية والتاريخية، الأنطولوجية والعمرانية؛ وفي جملة مفاهيم وقضايا متصلة بمفهوم الذات، كالعقل والحق والعدل والدين والوجود والماهية. يتألف هذا الكتاب، الصادر عن المركز العربي للأبحاث ودراسة السياسات من 16 فصلًا. وإشكاليته الأساس هي: هل كانت هذه الذات التي تتكلم عنها الفلسفة العربية الإسلامية تشير حقًا إلى الهوية الفردية "الأنا" أم إلى الماهيّة العامة "الإنسان بما هو إنسان"؟ وما العلاقة التي تنسجها هذه الذات مع مفاهيم متقابلة، مثل (...) الماهيّة والجوهر والنفس والعقل والأنا والهوية والوجود؟ وما صلتها بالجسم المُغري بأحاسيسه وأهوائه وانفعالاته وقواه وغرائزه الجامحة، وبالذات المطلقة الجاذبة بكمالها التام وبهائها الغامر؟.

Comparative study on Yoga as interpreted in Bhagavadgītā and in the philosophy of Aurobindo Ghose, 1872-1950.

This is the first book to bring together Western and Chinese perspectives on both moral and intellectual virtues. Editors Chienkuo Mi, Michael Slote, and Ernest Sosa have assembled some of the world’s leading epistemologists and ethicists—located in the U.S., Europe, and Asia—to explore in a global context what they are calling, "the virtue turn." The 15 chapters have never been published previously and by covering topics that bridge epistemology and moral philosophy suggest a widespread philosophical turn away from Kantian and (...) Utilitarian issues and towards character- and agent-based concerns. A goal of this volume is to show students and researchers alike that the turn toward virtue underway in the Western tradition is being followed by a similar turn toward virtue in Chinese philosophy.

In this essay I examine the role that reflection plays in knowledge. I argue that a notion of reflection grounded in ancient Chinese philosophy can help us understand second-order or reflective knowledge in both the accounts of Confucius and Ernest Sosa. I also argue that reflection can help us understand the most ideal kind of knowledge. I begin my paper by laying out Confucius’ and Sosa’s accounts of knowledge, while at the same time drawing the reader’s attention to their common (...) concern with reflective knowledge. Next I draw on an account of reflection from Confucius and elaborate on it. With this account of reflection in hand, I return to Confucius’ and Sosa’s accounts of knowledge and show how this account of reflection can help those accounts of knowledge. (shrink)

Previous studies have explored the impact of the cost ratio of individual solutions versus collective solutions on people’s cooperation tendency in the presence of individual solutions. This study further explored the impact of team credibility on people’s propensity to cooperate in the presence of individual solutions. Study 1 investigated the influence of different level of altruistic tendencies or the self-interest tendencies of teammates on participants’ decision-making. Study 2 explored the influence of the distribution of altruistic tendencies or self-interest tendencies on (...) participants’ decision-making. The results of Study 1 showed that the proportion of participants who chose the collective solution increased with an increase in the altruistic tendencies of the team. When the altruistic tendencies of the teammates reached a certain value, the proportion of participants taking the collective solution showed a trend to stabilize. Furthermore, the proportion of participants who chose the individual solution increased with the increase in the self-interest tendencies of the team. When the self-interest tendencies of the teammates reached a certain value, the individual solution was stably adopted. The results of Study 2 showed that with the total altruistic tendency remaining unchanged, the more altruistic group members that altruistic tendencies were allocated to, the higher a participant’s level of trust in the team would be, which showed the decentralized effect of altruistic tendencies. In the case that the total self-interest tendency was unchanged, the fewer self-interest group members the self-interest tendencies were allocated to, the higher a participant’s level of trust in the team would be, which showed the convergent effect of self-interest tendencies.
