Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in the Ming (明) Period : With Special Reference to Lin Chao-Ssu
Full text linkIt is needless to say that Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are the three great schools of thought in China. These three have been sometimes in conflict and sometimes compromised. It was under the influence of the Yang Ming school in the sixteeth century that the tendency toward syncretism became dominant, and it was Lin Chao-ssu who developed the syncretism not only in the field of thought but also in its social and religious phases. Though, generally speaking, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism were in the process of syncretism during the Ming Period, there were still some insurmountable barriers among them. These barriers were not only due to differences in creed but to social and political conditions. The problem was, then, how to bring them all to a compromise. Lin Chao-ssu was the one who tried to bring them to a successful compromise from the standpoint of the "phylosophy of mind" of tne Wang Ming school. Thus it was Lin Chao-ssu who put these three great schools of thought into a rationalistic syncretism, which still dominates the mind of the majority of the contemporary Chinese
The development from traditional reinsurance to alternative risk transfer in current law
No full textReinsurance is a contract between a primary insurer and one or several reinsurers, who may use retrocession contracts to cede risk even further. There is a certain connection but no contractual relationship between the parties. Current The first part of this thesis embraces the issues arising from reinsurance transactions, first of all, the principal arrangement methods of reinsurance, facultative cover and treaties based on either proportion or non-proportion. proportional reinsurance agreements can be divided into quota share and surplus cover; as well as combined quota share and surplus cover. Non-proportional reinsurance agreements can be divided into excess of loss cover and excess of loss ratio cover (stop loss reinsurance). Secondly, several issues of reinsurance, including the insurance interest on reinsurance, utmost good faith applied to reinsurance transactions, incorporation by reference and the clauses in common use, are stated and resolutions investigated. Thirdly, the supervisory methods for reinsurance transactions and the EU's milestone passing of the Reinsurance Directive 2005 are analysed. hisurance risks can also be spread by various non-traditional methods, termed 'Alternative Risk Transfer' (ART), dealt with in the second part of the thesis. After an introduction, an examination of how ART transactions are currently carried out is made. In general, current ART products can be categorised into self-insurance, financial reinsurance, capital several legal and regulatory issues arising from ART instruments etc. Secondly, transactions will be addressed and resolved. This section will use comparative law, especially looking at the quality, detail and reputation of US law. The UK Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA 2000) created reforms worthy of investigation, and useful as a reference for further development of legal and regulatory frameworks in other countries.</p
Foreign Language Learning in a Welfare Linguistics Framework
Full text linkIf we make statements such as learning a new language enriches your life, we presume a connection between language and well-being. The latter is usually studied along scales. One can be more or less well, and it is reasonable to consider that learning a foreign language can affect well-being positively or negatively. This chapter explores this issue from the perspective of the nascent discipline of welfare linguistics, which has an analytical prowess that allows us to study language learning, teaching, and intercultural communication from a new perspective. It also has applicative aspects and provides insights on various issues such as language pedagogy, course and curriculum design, textbook writing, and language and language-in-education policies
