Adam Smith versus Sima Qian: Comment on the Tao of markets
No full textIn contrast with Professor Young's views (Pacific Economic Review, 1, 137-45), this paper argues (1) that Adam Smith came to his conclusion about the 'invisible hand' before 1766, and hence the intellectual debt, if any, of Smith to the great Chinese historian Sima Qian via the agency of Turgot and the two Chinese visitors is minimal; and (2) that the allocative function of the price mechanism is explicit not only in The Wealth of Nations but also in Adam Smith's lecture notes and other writings from his years at Glasgow University before he left for Europe in 1764.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
SiMA-C: A Foundational Mental Architecture
No full textAbstractCognitive architectures as frameworks for integrated computational models of the mind often focus on human reasoning capabilities, and sometimes are extended by theories of emotion. The SiMA-C approach starts with low-level mental processing and bases high-level process on its low-level foundation. With the aim of developing a unified model with functional equivalence to the human mind, descriptive concepts of perception, motivation, emotion, and cognition are translated into a functional model of data activation, valuation, mediation, and evaluation. The resulting SiMA-C mental architecture solves the problem of adapting an agent's decision on the current internal state (demands from bodily needs and norms) and the external environment (affordances) and hence mediates between them. Using the SiMA-C model in simulations of environmental-friendly consumer decisions gives an example of a concrete application
Sima Guang
No full textSima Guang was one of China�s leading political figures and the author of Comprehensive Mirror for Aid in Government (Zizhi tongjian), a historical account of over a thousand years (403 BCE�959 CE) of China�s early imperial past. Produced in the context of fierce disputes at the eleventh- century imperial court, Zizhi tongjian�s didactic message of how to maintain imperial power and ensure dynastic longevity helped to shape a belief in China�s unbroken political tradition and contributed to the formation of a Chinese self-identity. He is often associated with his opposition to the reform proposals of his rival Wang Anshi
Sima Qian’s „Siji” as a Novelty in the Chinese Historiography
No full textBakalaura darba nosaukums ir „Sima Cjeņ „Vēstures pieraksti” kā novitāte Ķīnas historiogrāfijā.” Sima Cjeņ (135.g. – 86.g. p.m.ē.) ir visievērojamākais un ietekmīgākais senās Ķīnas vēsturnieks. Viņa „Vēstures pieraksti” tiek uzskatīts par bagātīgāko un kompleksāko darbu par Ķīnas vēsuri no senatnes līdz Haņ dinastijai.
Darba pamatmērķis ir padziļināti iepazīties ar „Vēstures pierakstu” apjomīgo materiālu un izvērtēt tā tapšanas priekšnoteikumus, apstākļus un novitāti Ķīnas vēstures pierakstīšanas tradīcijā.
Darbs sastāv no 6 daļām. 1.daļā aplūkota vēstures pierakstīšanas nozīme un tradīcijas Ķīnā. 2.daļā aplūkota „Vēstures pierakstu” tapšana un struktūra, analizējot arī Sima Cjeņ biogrāfiju šī darba tapšanas kontekstā. 3.daļā analizētas biogrāfijas kā jauns žanrs „Vēstures pierakstos” un Ķīnas historiogrāfijā. 4.daļā analizēti „Vēstures pierakstu” traktāti un tabulas, vērtējot to novitāti. 5.daļā ar Sima Cjeņ piemēru analizēta vēsturnieka kā personības nozīme darba tapšanā. 6.daļā aplūkots Sima Cjeņ devums nākamajām Ķīnas vēsturnieku paaudzēm.
Sima Cjeņ „Vēstures pierakstu” novitāte vispirms tiek saistīta ar jauna veida pieeju vēsturnieka lomai un notikumu fiksēšanai. Viņa „Vēstures pierakstu” struktūru kā paraugu izmantojuši Ķīnas vēlākie vēsturnieki. Sima Cjeņ izveidojis jaunu žanru – biogrāfijas (liedžuaņ), kas vēlāk tika plaši izmantotas Ķīnas historiogrāfijā un literatūrā. Arī Sima Cjeņ hronoloģiskās tabulas (biao) un traktāti (šu) saturiski ir jaunievedums, kas palīdz labāk izprast vēsturiskos procesus. Sima Cjeņ iezīmē jaunu izpratni pa vēsturnieka lomu: vēsturnieks nav tikai hronists, bet aktīvi darbojas faktu vākšanā, atlasē un noformēšanā.The title of this Bachelor’s paper is „Sima Qian`s „Shiji” as a novelty in the Chinese historiography”. Sima Qian (135 B.C. – 86 B.C.) is the most influential and respected imperial historian in China. His work „Shiji” („Records of the Grand Historian of China”) is acknowledged to be the richest and most complex book recording the history of ancient China up to the Han Dynasty.
The aim of this work is to examine the „Shiji” voluminous material and to evaluate prerequisites and conditions of its creation, as well as its novelty in the Chinese tradition of recording the history.
This paper consists of 6 Chapters. Chapter 1 deals with the tradition of recording history and the role of history in China. Chapter 2 looks at the the creation and structure of the „Shiji", as well as analyse the biography of Sima Qian in the context of writing this work. Chapter 3 analyzes the biography as a new genre in the „Shiji" and Chinese historiography in general. Chapter 4 analyzes „treatises” and „historical tables” of „Shiji" in terms of their novelty. Using Sima Qian as an example Chapter 5 analyzes the personal role of the historian in the creation of the work. Section 6 deals with the contribution of Sima Qian to the future generations of Chinese historians.
During the reseach the author has found that the novelty of Sima Qian`s „Shiji" is first associated with a new kind of approach to the role of the historian as well as a new kind of approach to recording events. Later Chinese historians have used the structure of his „Shiji" as a model for writing history. Sima Qian created a new genre - the biographies (liezhuan), which was later widely used in the Chinese historiography and literature. Sima Qian’s chronological tables (biao) and treatises (shu) are also an innovation that contributes a better understanding of historical processes. Sima Qian marks a new understanding of the role of the historian: historian is not only a chronicler. He also actively takes part in the gathering, selection and presentation of facts
Artystyczna przyjaźń w Atelier Madoura — Michel Sima, Pablo Picasso
No full textARTISTIC FRIENDSHIP AT THE MADOURA STUDIO: MICHEL SIMA AND PABLO PICASSO The article discusses numerous significant trends of 20th-century art and aims to complement the extensive sources concerning the activity of Poles in France. It focuses on one of the most important and now largely forgotten pottery workshop of the French Riviera, the Madoura Studio. The article discusses the artists connected with this site, their works and the influence of Pablo Picasso on the economic situation of Vallauris. It also explores the artistic friendship between Pablo Picasso and Polish artist Michel Sima (Michał Smajewski). It reveals obscure facts from Sima’s life and explores fragments of his abundant artistic legacy, which is stored in the private archives of his family. The author of the article makes an attempt to systematize and analyze Smajewski’s ceramic works and, most significantly, to demonstrate that he was not merely a man documenting Picasso’s creations but an important artist of the École de Paris in his own right
Modified fractional logistic equation
No full textIn the article (West, 2015), the author has obtained a function as the solution to fractional logistic equation (FLE). As demonstrated later in Area et al. (2016), this function (West function) is not the solution to FLE, but nevertheless as shown by West, it is in good agreement with the numerical solution to FLE. The West function indicates a compelling feature, in which the exponentials are substituted by Mittag-Leffler functions. In this paper, a modified fractional logistic equation (MFLE) is introduced, to which the West function is a solution. The proposed fractional integro-differential equation possesses a nonlinear additive term related to the solution of the logistic equation (LE). The method utilized in this article, may be applied to the analysis of solutions to nonlinear fractional differential equations of mathematical physics

Military Concepts and Commanders during the Later Han Period: The Relationships between The Methods of Sima, Baihu Tong, and “Military Ritual”
No full textIt has frequently been characterized of imperial dynastic China that its main military objective was to maintain the institutions of the state and the social order based on the emperor and the bureaucracy that served him. This means that the military had to be a part of the bureaucracy to achieve that objective. That being said, this bureaucratization of the military did not entirely coincide with the establishment of imperial dynastic governance. It is therefore appropriate to ask when and how bureaucratization was actually achieved.
This article focuses on the military under the Later Han Dynasty, in order to clarify aspects of its bureaucratic character. In particular, the author addresses the following point focusing on the notion of decorum: that is, whether it was regarded as proper for the military to be controlled by the emperor and the imperial court.
The author begins with a review of the principle that “State affairs should not be interfered in by the military, and military affairs should not be interfered in by the state” and how it was perceived during the Later Han Period. The author then addresses the discussions in the White Tiger Hall held during the reign of Emperor Zhang, which were decisive for spreading the notion of decorum, and analyzes perceptions held regarding the military at the time based on Baihu Tong, which summarizes the results of those discussions. As described there, the philosophy of The Methods of Sima relates to “the principles in the Spring and Autumn Annals” and ideas in the weft texts. On the other hand, “military ritual” of the Han Dynasty had followed The Methods of Sima since the second half of the Former Han Period.
The author concludes that Han perceptions from The Methods of Sima connected with “military ritual” and “the ritual regulations for meeting each other” determined the notion of decorum, which was developed during the Former Han period, and was then adopted by the Later Han Dynasty, leading to the bureaucratization of the military.journal articl
