Abstract:There is apparent difference in their property right structure:the tragedy of the Commons is due to the lack of exclusive property rights,which leads to overuse of the competitive resource;while the tragedy of the Anti-commons results from the over-segmentation or even fragmentation of the resource per se or its property rights,which makes the exclusive property rights too strong and further results in underuse or even nonuse of the resource.It can be deduced that the tragedy of the Commons and the tragedy of the Anticommons are symmetrical by mathematical model,while in fields of experimental economics this conclusion seems controversial——under the two different game situations,the subjects showed different or even opposite social psychology reaction,and the welfare loss caused by the tragedy of the Anti-commons was more serious than that of the tragedy of the Commons.
Key words:tragedy of the Anti-commons; tragedy of the Commons; fairness; efficiency; symmetry

Abstract:The “one drop and one supplement”task of the supply-side structural reform has become the top priority of current economic work.The tax rates are considered as the constraint of enterprises and consumers, given the external influence of public service expenditure on consumption, and consumption tax rate, labor tax rate, capital gain tax rate, and the public service expenditures such as government transfer payment are included in the unified research framework.Then a general equilibrium model is constructed to study the impact of changes in tax rates and the shares of public service expenditure on the economy.The theoretical derivation is carried out under the assumptions of non-independently and independently additive utility preferences,and the numerical analysis is given based on the Chinese macroeconomic variable-output ratio data.The results show that: (1)Output is negatively correlated with each tax rate; (2)The relationship between output and the share of government public service expenditure in the consumption function is different due to different taxes and utility preferences.Finally,based on the research results, relevant policy recommendations are proposed.
Key words:preference; tax rate; public service expenditure;outputThe Transformation from Competition-Politics to Cooperation-Politics(22)

Abstract:According to Marxism, there has been politics since class and class struggle came into the division of human society.However,the nature and form of politics are varied in different stages of human history.During historical stage of industry society, the constructed politics is competitive, which is called democracy conventionally.The term “democracy” in political system is in contrast to “aristocracy” in agrari-an society.For it is essential to point out the neo-constructed political system is different from monarchy in the early modern context.Actually,it is more accurate to define it as competition-politics from the perspective of the nature and form of democracy.All aspects of competition-politics have been adjusted constantly to a perfect state in the course of several hundred years’development in modern times.Nonetheless,the competition-politics is unsustainable in the process of globalization and post-industrialization,especially confronted with high-complexity and high-uncertainty society.If the globalization and post-industrialization means a new stage beginning of human history, it will be inevitably for the end of competition-politics, and to construct an advanced model—cooperation-politics.

Abstract:At present, socialism core values have been transformed into legal terms, which constitute the basic norms of civil law.The statistical analysis of the judgment documents shows the application of core values in the civil judgment theory increasing year by year, its regional level differentiating, level shifting down, as well as summary procedure, sole-judge trial, family case applying and so on.Through analyzing types, it is found that the applicable methods can be divided into sole and joint application, and such applicable functions as valuable declaration, education preaching, reinforcing reasoning and reasoning.The lack of criterions leads to confusing application, unclear function positioning,and even the application of general provisions such as core values etc.in the judgment and reasoning.The legitimacy of the application of core values stems from the two-way shaping of law and politics,the transformation of legal norms of core values,and the objective needs of consensus on value in refereeing.In the process of application,only by insisting on ordering, clarifying purpose and vocabulary of language, and transforming core values into people’s affective commitment and daily habits through judgment and reasoning,can core value clauses contribute to national governance system and the modernization of governance capabilities.

Abstract:An academic upsurge on urging the promulgation of Supervising Officer Law as soon as possible have formed at present in the academic circles.However,it is not necessary and difficult for the supervising officer to take the road of professional development as Judges and Prosecutors do.For the qualifications of the supervising officer,we can refer to the relevant provisions of the Civil Servant Law to implement them,without the need for the NPC to tailor a law on supervising officer.The core of the supervisor system with Chinese characteristics is the equivalence of power and responsibility.Its specific connotation is quite rich,ranging from the title, rank,appointment and removal, evaluation,promotion and salary of the supervisor to the connection with the disciplinary inspection cadres caused by the joint office.How to design such a detailed system needs to fully absorb the experience and lessons from the reform of supervision system.Without enough experience in the implementation of the Supervisory Law as the basis,to start the process of enacting the Supervisory Officer Law in advance,it is very likely to become a symbolic legislation.
Key words:legislation; supervising officer; eligible elements; reform of supervisory system

Abstract:The mechanical power of modern transportation replaced the dependence of ancient transportation on human,animal and natural forces.Mechanisms have led to a dramatic increase in traffic speed and a significant reduction in travel time.The time significance of modern transportation is becoming more and more obvious in the process of increasing speed.On the surface,the realization of this time characteristic is based on the direct use of modern vehicles,but its internal basis is the result of the participation of modern time in the construction.Modern time is the quantified time to withdraw from life,the homogeneous time far from life, and the abstract time to withdraw from concrete.On the one hand, modern transportation takes modern time as its ontological premise, on the other hand, modern time needs to complete itself in modern transportation,both of which strengthen modernity itself.
Key words:modern time; modern transportation; abstraction

Abstract:This paper investigated the relationship between natural beauty and artistic beauty in Kantian aesthetics,Post-Kantian aesthetics and Environmental aesthetics.On the basis above, it revealed the essential relevance of the systematic construction of aesthetics from Kantian aesthetics to Environmental aesthetics with the relationship between natural beauty and artistic beauty.Kantian aesthetics interpreted the relationship between natural beauty and artistic beauty as the identity of the two.The Post-Kantian Aesthetics which was represented by Hegel’s aesthetics interpreted the relationship between the natural beauty and artistic beauty as the assimilation of artistic beauty to natural beauty.Environmental aesthetics understood the relationship between the two as the assimilation of natural beauty to artistic beauty.The systematic construction of aesthetics must answer the relationship between natural beauty and artistic beauty which as a basic question of aesthetics.This answer not only relates to the integrity of the aesthetics,but also determines the truth of aesthetic ideology on a certain level.
Key words:natural beauty; artistic beauty; Kantian aesthetics; Hegel’s aesthetics; environmental aesthetics
How Is the Aesthetic Perception of Ecological Wholes Possible?——On Bateson’s Ecological Aesthetics from the Perspective of Recursive Epistemology(134)
Zhang Huiqing
(School of Art,Shandong Jianzhu University,Jinan 250101)
Abstract:Gregory Bateson, the only great theorist in the 20th century who fully demonstrated the science of holism,put forward recursive epistemology by integrating cybernetic feedback and recursive theory into ecological research and his pioneering thinking on ecological aesthetics in his later years,which provided us with a reasonable way to solve ecological holism from the perspective of “physics”.Ecological world view that bases the change and stability of the ecosystem and the survival and development of human beings on the patterns of relation of“organism plus environment”takes “survival-worthy” as its core value and constitutes the basic theoretical premise of recursive epistemology.The natural form is accordingly the embodiment of patterns of relation of “organism plus environment”, which is interpreted as the mapping relationship between “inside” (mind) and “outside” (nature).Based on the three relationships of“the eternal truth of life and environment”(the sacred and aesthetics, aesthetics and consciousness, consciousness and the sacred)by Bateson, ecological aesthetic forms the core of recursive epistemology, and following which the rhythm of life and death is re-conceived in a way that is accordance with the change and stability of ecological order according to the abstract aesthetic pattern of“pattern which connects”, so that ecological aesthetics can not only perceive the ecological wholes,but also complete the re-evaluation of life, death and beauty of ecosys tem.Through the creation of a model of “scanning the interface”, the ecological aesthetic pattern explains the recursive epistemology from the vision of deep aesthetic mechanism with the “moiré pattern” of conscious and unconscious.Difference,as the index of the change and stability of the ecosystem,makes the“information unit of the difference” become the “meta-pattern” of perceiving the ecological wholes and the ecological aesthetics become the “meta-context” in response to the “meta-pattern”.
Key words:Bateson; ecological aesthetics; recursive epistemology; ecological wholes; pattern which connects;difference
