Socialism after Hayek and human sociality

Was Hayek a postmodernist? Pointing to the important role that human sociality plays in Hayek’s work, Ted Burzack’s answer is resounding “yes.”     

论商品价值性质

不是任何抽象劳动都形成商品的价值,而是具有社会性、交换性和补偿性的抽象劳动才形成商品的价值。形成价值的抽象劳动的社会性、交换性和补偿性同时存在,三者互为前提,相互联系。抽象劳动的社会性、补偿性和交换性在生产过程和交换过程中形成商品价值性质。商品价值性质的核心是生产者的劳动时间与社会总劳动时间的关系。价值性质范畴有助于深化和发展劳动价值论,为判断劳动是否生产商品和形成价值提供新的视角。依据商品价值性质有助于解释一些经济现象,使劳动价值论更有说服力,从而增强其生命力。     

弗洛姆类伦理思想之主旨与马克思人学思想的渊源

弗洛姆类伦理思想与马克思的人学思想有着密切的关系。马克思关于人性、本质及其能动性,以及社会主义目标等理论对弗洛姆产生了很大的影响。由此,弗洛姆从人性出发,奠定了其类伦理思想始基,认为人的生存是一种社会性的存在。他把生产性作为人解决生存矛盾、实现潜能的动力机制。弗洛姆类伦理思想的普遍价值标准是人的幸福,而幸福是生产性活动的结果,也是生产性活动的激励;幸福是美德的标准,是生产性的充分发展。     

Corporate Legal Responsibility: A Levinasian Perspective

In this article I will look into Corporate Legal Responsibility taking into account Levinas’s notion of infinite responsibility, as well as his understanding of ethical language. My account of Levinas’s philosophy will show that it challenges – breaking down – deeply entrenched distinctions in the dominant strands of moral philosophy, within which the theory of individual responsibility is embedded, such as between:(1) duty to others on the one hand and supererogation on the other; (2) perfect duty to others on the one hand and imperfect duties to others on the other; (3) insiders and outsiders; kith and kin on the one hand and strangers on the other; Levinas’s moral vision is an inclusive one which embraces all of humanity (at least of those present today) irrespective of historical, linguistic, cultural differences and diversities. In other words, each has responsibilities for and duties towards all others. Of course, one might say that there is nothing new about a universalising ethics – after all Kantianism, liberalism as well as utilitarianism are well known instances. However, more crucially, all these traditional moral philosophies uphold the theory of individual responsibility, which is rooted in the philosophy of individualism. Such a philosophy can make sense only of the concept of individual moral/legal agency but not corporate agency. Therefore, in this article I will attempt to show that the Levinasian vision is able to help us change our view with respect to corporate responsibility.     

Cultural consumption,interactive sociality,and the museum

Abstract

Within marketing and consumer behaviour research, museums have been generally conceptualised as public consumption spaces where visitors benefit from a variety of affective, recreational, and cognitive experiences. As such, the social context has been largely subordinated to enhancing visitors’ cultural consumption experience in the physical environment of the museum. Our study takes a reverse path by highlighting how the cultural consumption experience in the museum nourishes ‘interactive sociality’ both inside and outside the museum. The analysis of our qualitative data (interpretive individual and group interviews and non-participatory observations) on Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery in Glasgow, UK, imply that by leveraging interactive sociality, managers can enhance the museum’s value proposition and societal worth in contemporary society.

The paper critiques museum studies’ over-reliance on (social) psychology theories and demonstrates the value of adopting alternative (sociocultural) approaches to the advancement of theory in the field. It provides evidence for the fact that cultural consumers’ interaction with(in) the organisation is not confined to the physical boundaries of a given context. People extend their varying experiences and sensibilities to other domains beyond the museum walls.     

中国国有部门改革的营利性与社会性

中国国有部门改革的顶层设计,绝不是简单的私有化,也不是简单地把国有生产部门改造成类似于私人生产部门的利润机器,探索落实“社会性”是下一步改革的重要方面。社会生产部门具有不同于私人生产部门的根本规定性。私人生产部门的本质属性是生产利润,经营实体只是实现私人财产积累的手段。资本愈积累,普通劳动者的劳动权和消费权被剥夺的愈严重。与之相异,社会生产部门的本质属性是实现社会需要和社会利益,经营实体既是为了给普通劳动者提供劳动权,也是为了给普通劳动者提供消费权。

Incorporating research findings in the economics syllabus: evidence on genuine sociality from Italy and the UK

Economics education is proving slow in incorporating into the syllabus the genuine advances made in economics research in the last few decades. As economics education relies primarily on the single approach of neoclassical economics, whilst recent advances in research have been marked by a wide variety of approaches, many of which are interdisciplinary, the methodological divide between education and research is growing wider. We attempt to measure how keen students are to incorporate research findings in the syllabus by developing a questionnaire which introduces undergraduate students in Italy and the U.K. to key findings in the research literature on genuine sociality, an area in which the methodological divide is very noticeable. Students display moderate support for being taught the material on genuine sociality. Students who wish to incorporate genuine sociality in the syllabus tend to be older, value virtue and have a religion.     

The place of the family in tourism research: Domesticity and thick sociality by the pool

This article is concerned with the place of the family in tourism research. In an attempt at situating tourism theory, three discourses of tourism are examined in order to see what kind of articulations of the familiar they epitomize. This article is also concerned with developing theoretical constructs that are sensitive to the familiar character of tourism. Making space for the family in tourism research requires the reappraisal of domesticity and thick sociality in tourism. The article makes references to research on mass tourism in Menorca to discuss the implications of the re-socialization of tourism theory. The idealized notions of the nuclear family that are formed and performed on coastal resorts are contrasted to the complex realities of family life.     

相对质量的现实构造——基于需求因素的经济学分析

质量理念的经济内涵在于从本质上决定经济运行中供给与需求的均衡,表现为商品物质性和社会性的统一。在买方市场条件下,消费者更加重视商品质量的社会性属性,商品质量的物质属性则更多地通过质量的社会属性而体现。因此,在转变我国经济发展方式的背景下,重视质量社会性表现出来的相对质量,并以此参与市场竞争,能够切实提高企业和消费者的交易效率,达到整体资源的有效配置。在实体经济与虚拟经济共生发展的条件下,企业要从质量策划、质量控制、质量改进等方面重视产品相对质量的构造和研究。
