As one of the latest achievements in the historical transformation and development of Chinese social governance, the “four turns” of social governance (socialization, legalization, intelligentization, and specialization) not only provide specific directions for the construction of the system of the New Eras social governance, but also provide new standards for the evaluation and form a new paradigm for Chinese social governanceThis study proposes a new theory called a multidimensional, composite, social governance based on a systematic literature review and a comparison of traditional Chinese and Western societies, and advocates for an indepth exploration of various possible composite effects between the “four turns” innovation of social governance in the New Era, such as the offsetting, paralleling, average, complementary, synergistic, and multiple composite effectsThis new theory not only provides a good explanation for the practice of “four turns” in social governance, but also provides important references for optimizing Chinese and other like social governance practices.

The dilemma of modernization facing most developing countries are closely linked to the Western dominated world systemOn the one hand, the advantage of the developed countries makes it difficult for developing countries to catch up, and, in the meantime, those developed nations intentionally hinder the economic development of developing countriesOn the other hand, structural changes in the world system make it hard for developing countries to have the“window of development.” As developing countries gradually transit from colonial oppression to political independence, the global economic structure has also shifted from national to transnational economiesWhile the former provides conditions for developing countries to autonomously formulate developmental strategies, the latter continuously weakens their economic sovereignty, forcing them to passively respond to the global economic systemThe success of Chinese modernization demonstrates that internal factors remain the key for latecomers to catch up with the developed economiesThree factors deserve our special attention, which are, achieving political independence, establishing a socialist system that serves the interests of the majority, and adopting a competitive strategy of advantage under the principle of selfreliance.

Accelerating the formation of relations of production more compatible with the new quality productive forces has significant practical significanceIt is not only the essence of activating the vitality of the development of the new quality productive forces, but also an inevitable requirement to regulate the developmental order of the new quality productive forcesIt will also provide institutional guarantees for the sharing of the achievements of the new quality productive forces. Upholding the firm leadership of the Party, to effectively mobilize the enthusiasm of all parties to participate in the development of the new quality productive forces and to coordinate development and security are the basic principles that need to be followed to promote the better adaptation of production to the development of new quality productive forcesFrom the perspective of the developing path, we should take the reform of both economic and technological systems as the driving force, the establishment of a high standard market system as the support, and highlevel opening up as the route to continuously deepen and form specific practices of production relations more suitable for the new quality productive forces.

As our intrinsic subjective experience, pain possesses the following distinct characteristics: intrinsic direct relevance, subjectivity, and crosssubjective shareabilityThe intrinsic subjective sensation is the fundamental characteristic of qualiaIt cannot be reduced to its various external manifestationsQualia are our intrinsic subjective sensations, but this does not mean that they are private and unique to each individualOn the contrary, qualia can be shared across subjectsThe crosssubjective shareability of qualia forms the true foundation of human social communitiesThe subjectivity of sensation is a product of biological evolution, through which, life has acquired the capacity for subjective sensations, even selfawareness, and so forthSuch capacity constitutes a new mode of existence for life, and reestablishes the foundation for the existence of living beings.

Consciousness appears to be a uniquely human characteristicWith the rise of artificial intelligence, debates have emerged on whether machines can possess consciousness or notSome argue that attributing consciousness to machines is erroneous, while others contend that the focus should be shifted from “whether machines have consciousness” to “whether they exhibit intelligence” The advent and wide application of large language models have provided a novel perspective to discuss this issueThis article analyzes divergent interpretations on machine consciousness from the standpoints of noself physicalism and physicalism grounding in the selfDrawing on Wilfrid Sellars distinction between the manifest image and the scientific image, we reexamine the nature of consciousnessSpecifically, we delineate“what consciousness is”, a question of philosophical reflection embedded in the manifest image, and“how consciousness is realized”, a question of scientific practice situated in the scientific image, as two distinct yet interconnected issues. Understanding how machines might realize consciousness necessitates clarifying the essence of consciousness, and the outcomes of such realization must withstand the scrutiny through commonsense frameworksOnly by analyzing the relationship between these two questions can we systematically address whether machines possess consciousness.

Alexander of Aphrodisias theory on action and moral psychology have received unprecedented attention in the debate concerning the history of the will and freewillAlexander emphasizes that only when we as rational agents have the ability to act against the course of action actually taken, can our actions and their consequences be up to usHowever, in the eyes of many researchers, Alexander does not give a convincing answer to how this claim is possible in moral psychologyRecent studies on Alexanders moral psychology have responded to the above accusations, but still fail to notice the importance of the concept of judgmentThis article starts from this point to clarify the relationship between judgment, deliberation, and choice in Alexanders moral psychology, so as to illustrate the difficulties encountered by ancient indeterminists in explaining the reasons and intelligibility of free choice and their possible coping strategies.

Data factorization is an inherent requirement for the development of new quality productive forces, and datadriven enterprises play a leading role in the process of data factorizationThis article focuses on key industrial scenarios, conducts interviews with representative enterprises, and uses content analysis to code the interview textsIt summarizes the issues in data factorization and subsequently identifies strategies for advancing data factorizationThe study finds that, at present, data factorization presents a complex array of problemsTo fully understand the causes of these problems, this article analyzes the constraints of data factorization from five perspectives: subject, object, technological environment, institutional environment, and market environmentIt then proposes the following strategies for advancement: to improve internal and external systems and mechanisms of collaborative data regulation, to establish and improve the data governance system for data factorization, to clarify the technological path for the transformation from the exploration of scenario to its integration, to build a flexible and inclusive environment for the innovation and exploration of data factors, and to establish a consensus theory and an according methodology to study the circulation and transaction of data.

Based on the Intercountry Inputoutput database developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECDICIO database), this article constructs a revealed comparative advantage (RCA) model based on the value added in exports from the perspective of division of labor in the industrial chain, and analyzes the characteristics and driving factors of the relative levels of Chinese manufacturing enterprises participation in international industrial chain, domestic upstream industrial chain, and domestic downstream industrial chainIt shows that the comparative advantage of the division of labor in the industrial chain of Chinas manufacturing industry has been at a low level for a long timeThe manufacturing industry with high research and development (R&D) intensity is highly dependent on international industrial chain and has not extended enough to domestic downstream industrial chain, while the medium and mediumlow R&D intensity manufacturing industries have achieved a certain degree of improvement in the division of labor of the industrial chain by expanding to domestic upstream and downstream linksHow to reduce the dependence of Chinese manufacturing enterprises on upstream international supply, increase their extension to domestic downstream industrial chain, and improve the overall level of division of labor in Chinese industrial chain is one of the key directions for Chinas manufacturing industry to achieve industrial transformation and upgrading.

Based on the 2018 and 2021 data of Chinese General Social Survey (CGSS), this article analyzes the equality of opportunity in the process of Chinas urbanizationIt starts from the discussion on how different hukou affect peoples opportunity in selfdevelopment and uses the quantile regression method to measure and recount the inequality of opportunityThe study shows that the direct impact of hukou is mainly reflected in lowincome groupsThe inequality of opportunity among the three groups, ie., the indigenous people, ruraltourban residents, and migrant workers, increases successivelyWith the increase of income quantiles, the proportions of inequality of opportunity among three groups all show a tendency of increase followed by that of decreaseGender inequality is the main reason for the high inequality among migrant workersThe mechanisms causing the inequality of opportunity among the three groups are different, but the proportions of indirect channel of education converge in the high quantiles, and so are the indirect channels of employmentThis article combines the theoretical framework related to the inequality of opportunity with the reality of Chinese urbanization, and provides a new perspective to examine Chinese urban income inequality.

In the context of constructing China's independent knowledge system, question itself is becoming an important issue in the study of journalismMetaquestion, general question, basic question, general and special questions constitute the four beams and eight pillars of the system of question in journalismAmong them, “what is news” is the metaquestion of journalism and the logical starting point to establish a system of question in journalismThe relationship between people and news is a general question of journalism, which is embodied in all the questions of journalismThe relationship between facts and news is a basic question of journalism, which is considered throughout the study of journalismUniversal questions are those that transcend time and space in journalism, while special questions are related to specific historical and cultural situationsThese fundamental issues have different sources, follow different principles, have different ways of response and interpretation, and occupy different logical positions in the system of question in Chinese journalismThe questions are also interrelatedThey form an organic and unified system of question, and promote the study of journalism.

Aging is a significant global trendSo is it in ChinaWithin the framework of modern industrial civilization, age discrimination and cultural anxieties associated with the symbolism of aging have triggered an identity crisis among older adultsThis article examines the discursive construction of the identity of the elderly across macro, meso, and micro levels to investigate how the thinking of youngold binary opposition shapes the objectified identity of elders and intensifies the identity crisisDrawing on the theory of intersubjectivity, this study discusses the approaches to transcend the binary opposition and to reconstruct the subjectivity of the eldersThis study also highlights how discourse analysis can contribute to the reconstitution of the subjectivity of older adults and provide practical recommendations for fostering a more inclusive society.

The generation of the hexagram meanings is hierarchical and presents the poetic interweaving of nature and humanityIn the process of “observing things and taking images”， the creation of hexagrams originated from ancient Chinese peoples perception of the images, combinations of their appearances, and changing situations of myriad of things, and presents their life experiences aware of the perception and connection of images and the world in which they appearIn the extension of“establishing images to exhaust meanings”，the interpretation of hexagrams embodies ancient Chinese peoples imagination of connected categories and their life experiences reflecting on knowledge and action, and presents the cultural ideal of images for the cultural development of humanistic cultivation in the worldThe attributes of the original creativity and humanistic derivation of the hexagrams have laid a philosophical foundation for the beauty of imaginal correlativeAs two main approaches to the studies on imagery aesthetics, aesthetic psychology and phenomenological aesthetics pay more attention to the sensory connectivity of images at the primary levelHow to go beyond the perspective of modern aesthetics and further explore the humanistic connotation of images, especially to face up to the ethical and political dimensions of aesthetic images, is a problem that needs to be addressed in the study on imagery aesthetics.

The thinking of humanity in the Appendices to the Book of Changes includes the realization, practice, manifestation of humanity while hiding the function of the WayCompared with Confuciuss and Menciuss study of humanity, the thinking of realizing humanity emphasizes the fundamental side of humanity that regulates political personality and to some extent sublimates the political value of humanityThe thinking of “pacifying earth and practicing humanity” is closely related to the Appendices to the Book of Changescontents regarding the concepts of qian (heaven), kun (earth), and the sage, and reflects the metaphysical, epistemological, and the Confucian jingjierelated significance of humanity embedded in the Appendices to the Book of ChangesThe saying of “manifesting humanity and hiding the function (of the Way)”elaborates the “great humanity”of the heavenly way that generates all things, on the one hand, and expresses the sagely humanity associated with the awareness of hardship, on the otherThe attributes of the Appendices to the Book of Changes as one of Chinese classics and its theoretical form “to illuminate human affairs with the heavenly way”result in the difference of its thinking on humanity from the ideas attributed to Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, and have farreaching influence on later generations.
