As the country continues to deepen its linkages with the rest of the world, Chinese Christian networks are spreading both within and outside the country. These networks link and crisscross at multiple scales and localities in China while strengthening interactions with overseas Chinese Christians and global Christianity. Many Christian groups throughout the country are harnessing the tremendous potential of new media, such as the internet and mobile apps, to share religious messages, participate in rituals, access information, create online communities, and to evangelize. Chinese Christians have also begun exerting their influence outside China through activities such proselytism, charity work, and development projects. This volume presents cutting edge research by scholars working in the field of Christianity in China, providing valuable insights into how Chinese Christianity is evolving and how it is shaping the country and beyond.Religion & beliefsbicssc"alter-public""counterpublic""public"authoritarian stateCalvinismCatholic churchcatholicismChinaChinese ChristianityChinese DiasporaChinese legislationChristian missionChristian moralityChristianitychristianity in Chinadigital religionEuropegender studiesglobalizationmigrant entrepreneurshipmoral economyn/apatriotismProtestant ChristianityReformed churchRegulation on Religious Affairsreligious givingreligious lifesinicizationsocial engagementspiritualitytechnology of the selftheologytransnational religionurbanizationWeChatworkworkplaceReligion & beliefsLim Francis Khek Geeauth1164262BOOK9910404079403321New Developments in Christianity in China3040680UNINA04148nam 2200469z- 450 991022005980332120210211(CKB)3800000000216180(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/48108(oapen)doab48108(EXLCZ)99380000000021618020202102d2016 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFrom Is to Ought: The Place of Normative Models in the Study of Human ThoughtFrontiers Media SA20161 online resource (187 p.)Frontiers Research Topics9782889198962 2889198960 In the study of human thinking, two main research questions can be asked: "Descriptive Q: What is human thinking like? Normative Q: What ought human thinking be like?" For decades, these two questions have dominated the field, and the relationship between them generated many a controversy. Empirical normativist approaches regard the answers to these questions as positively correlated - in essence, human thinking is what it ought to be (although what counts as the 'ought' standard is moot). In contemporary theories of reasoning and decision making, this is often associated with a Panglossian framework, an adaptationist approach which regards human thinking as a priori rational. In contrast, prescriptive normativism sees the answers to these two questions as negatively correlated. Normative models are still relevant to human thought, but human behaviour deviates from them quite markedly (with the invited conclusion that humans are often irrational). Prescriptive normativism often results in a Meliorist agenda, which sees rationality as amenable to education. Both empirical and prescriptive normativism can be contrasted with a descriptivist framework for psychology of human thinking. Following Hume's strict divide between the 'is' and the 'ought', descriptivism regards the descriptive and normative research questions as uncorrelated, or dissociated, with only the former question suitable for psychological study of human behaviour. This basic division carries over to the relation between normative ('ought') rationality, based on conforming to normative standards; and instrumental ('is') rationality, based on achieving one's goals. Descriptivist approaches regard the two as dissociated, whereas normativist approaches tend to see them as closely linked, with normative arguments defining and justifying instrumental rationality. This research topic brings together diverse contributions to the continuing debate. Featuring contributions from leading researchers in the field, the e-book covers a wide range of subjects, arranged by six sections: The standard picture: Normativist perspectives In defence of soft normativism Exploring normative models Descriptivist perspectives Evolutionary and ecological accounts Empirical reports With a total of some 24 articles from 55 authors, this comprehensive treatment includes theoretical analyses, meta-theoretical critiques, commentaries, and a range of empirical reports. The contents of the Research Topic should appeal to psychologists, linguists, philosophers and cognitive scientists, with research interests in a wide range of domains, from language, through reasoning, judgment and decision making, and moral judgment, to epistemology and theory of mind, philosophical logic, and meta-ethics.From Is to OughtPsychologybicsscBayesianismIs-ought problemmeliorismmoral judgmentnew paradigmnormative modelsnormativismPanglossianismrationalityPsychologyOver D.
