【高研院】 高研院跨學科學術沙龍-第一期成功舉行
澳門大學人文社科高等研究院（高研院）主辦之第一期「跨學科學術沙龍」於2月20日在崇文樓高士軒成功舉辦。是次沙龍以「哲學、歷史、法律對話：探索知識與社會的交融」為主題，邀請人文學院副院長、哲學與宗教學系特聘教授——王慶節教授，高研院學術項目與刊物主任、人文學院歷史系特聘教授——林少陽教授，高研院院長、法學院講座教授——於興中教授作為主講人。
王慶節教授以哲學的觀點出發，以「親親相隱」為例，探討思想隨著時代的變遷產生間隙，恰是間隙激發了我們的思考，並且提醒我們重新檢視基本概念。透過重新思考，我們進行的研究可能會獲得截然不同的結果。另一方面，林少陽教授則以「禮」為出發點，深入探討古代朝貢體制。他表示儘管未受到儒家思想的約束，但由於契約的存在，國家仍然願意遵守制度，逐漸轉向「法」的層次。最後，於教授舉出荀子的「禮法結合」，總結道哲學是各種學問的母親，歷史則是無法迴避的一部分，法律只是一門實踐性學科，旨在公正地解決問題。
跨學科學術沙龍作為高研院全新學術系列活動，期望藉此增強校內師生跨學科研究活動及聯繫。是次活動不僅為師生提供展示研究成果的機會，亦為他們搭建了與其他專業同行交流的橋樑，打破傳統學科的界限，讓學生和教職員們能夠超越自身專業領域，探索不同學科之間的交叉點和合作潛力。
哲學、歷史和法律的交融是一個廣闊而深奥的領域，師生們通過探討隱、禮以及法律的實踐性，揭示了三者間的聯繫和影響。活動吸引逾60名參會者針對議題分享真知灼見，共同開拓學術研究的新領域。
The IAS x Interdisciplinary Academic Salon-1 was successfully held by IAS on 20 February 2024 in the Common Room at the Cultural Building. The event focused on “Philosophy, History, and Law in Dialogue: Exploring the Intersection of Knowledge and Society.” It featured Professor Qingjie Wang, Associate Dean of FAH, Distinguished Professor of the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies of FAH, Professor Shaoyang Lin, Head of Academic Programme and Publication of IAS and Distinguished Professor of the Department of History of FAH, and Professor Xingzhong Yu, Director of IAS and Chair Professor of FLL, as the speakers.
Professor Wang discussed the concept of Kin Concealment from a philosophical perspective, emphasizing how gaps in thoughts arise with changing times, prompting us to rethink fundamental concepts and potentially leading to different research outcomes. Professor Lin delved into the ancient tribute system by beginning with the concept of “ritual.” He pointed out that even though countries are not obligated to follow Confucianism, they still adhere to the system due to the existence of contracts, gradually transitioning to a more legal approach. Finally, Professor Yu referred to Xunzi’s idea of the combination of “propriety and law” and summarized that philosophy is the foundation of various disciplines, history is an integral part that cannot be ignored, and law is a practical discipline aimed at resolving issues fairly.
The Interdisciplinary Academic Salon, a new event series by the IAS, aims to enhance interdisciplinary research activities and connections among faculty and students. The event allows faculty and students to present their research findings and engage in discussions with professionals from different fields. The event aims to go beyond the limits of traditional disciplines and explore how different subjects can intersect and collaborate.
The integration of philosophy, history, and law is a broad and profound field. Through discussions on concealment, ritual, and the practical aspects of law, 60 faculty and students explored the connections and influences among these subjects. They shared valuable insights on the topics, collectively expanding the frontiers of academic research.
