    Platform Capitalism from the Perspective of Philosophy of Technology
    WANG Na
    2025, 27 (2):  11-17.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.002
    Abstract ( 18 )   PDF (947KB) ( 21 )  
    Platform capitalism, which is based on emerging technologies such as network and digital technology, has not only profoundly changed the forms of labor organization and the ways to obtain surplus value in the capitalist society, but also made capital logic and its discipline fully embedded in the platform technologies. As a continuously generated technological aggregation, the platform embeds and refers to social relationships, shaping the labor process, consumption patterns, and political choices of the entire society. Digital technology capital and algorithmic technology power constitute a new dimension of social manipulation of platform capitalism, making human life activities and social relationships visible, calculable, and controllable. Under the conditions of platform capitalism, the multidimensional coupling of capital and technology effectively introduces all production factors, including labor, into the value creation and capital appreciation system. Jockey workers, unpaid workers, and the new proletariat are the survival patterns of contemporary workers in platform capitalism. Transcending platform capitalism means removing the logic of capital from the platform's technological intention structure and building a peoplecentered platform governance community.

    What Does Collingridge's Dilemmatic Proposition of “the Social Control of Technology” Overlook?
    ZHU Zhengde
    2025, 27 (2):  18-25.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.003
    Abstract ( 18 )   PDF (973KB) ( 13 )  
    As a classic theory to explain the causes of technological tailspin, Collingridge's dilemmatic proposition has been debated in the field of technology assessment for more than 40 years. Previous studies mainly weighed details within the framework of this proposition, and rarely realized that since Collingridge presupposed the western economic structure as a logical premise without reflection, he could only abstractively infer the difficulty of feedforward control and feedback control of technologies on the superficial level of properties of artifacts, overlooking the decisive reaction of capitalist production relations on technologies embedded in them. From the perspective of the Marxist political economy, the capitalist production relations contain irreconcilable publicprivate contradictions, which will repeatedly promote the emergence and spread of technologies that yield public hazards but benefit private interests. The solution to Collingridge's dilemmatic proposition is not to elaborate on design indicators, but to limit capital:popularizing maker education in the session of feedforward control together with reforming Coase's theorem of property; meanwhile, separating incumbent firms that abuse market power horizontally or vertically in the session of feedback control according to the antimonopoly law, so as to activate vertical innovations to eliminate technical maladies.

    Dynamic and Coordinated Development of Digital Inclusive Finance from the Perspective of Geographical Spillover Effects
    DING Zhiguo1,2, TIAN Yu1
    2025, 27 (2):  26-39.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.004
    Abstract ( 19 )   PDF (1986KB) ( 18 )  
    The coupled coordination degree model is used to analyze the internal dynamic and coordinated development of digital inclusive finance in 31 provinces of China from 2014 to 2021, The Gini coefficient decomposition method is used to discuss its evolution law and spatialtemporal differences, and investigate the spatial spillover effects of key factors based on the SDM model. The results show that the dynamic and coordinated development level of the digital inclusive finance has improved year by year, and there is an obvious spatial aggregation, which is specifically reflected in the leading position of the eastern regions and the lagging position of the western regions. The dynamic and coordinated development level of the digital inclusive finance in each province has positive spatial spillover effects on the whole, but has negative effects within each economic zone. Urbanrural income gap, economic development level, industrial structure, traditional financial strength and regional innovation ability all have an impact on it.

    Can Unified Medical Insurance Effectively Help to Reduce UrbanRural Differences?
    FANG Yingfeng, ZHOU Shihong
    2025, 27 (2):  40-53.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.005
    Abstract ( 17 )   PDF (1286KB) ( 12 )  
    By using the data from CFPS, a differenceindifference model is set up to analyze the effect of unified medical insurance on urbanrural differences through grouping regression. It is found that unified medical insurance can significantly enhance rural residents' health, personal income, life wellbeing and it can also help to reduce their families' Engel's coefficient, while it has caused very limited impact on urban residents. Besides, unified medical insurance increases the income of villagers by substituting agriculture jobs with nonagriculture jobs. Based on the heterogeneity analysis, it is found that the beneficiaries of unified medical insurance mainly include the rural middleaged and elderly people, the groups with chronic diseases and the groups with regular medical treatment in general hospitals, but the income level and life wellbeing of the rural lowincome groups fail to be effectively improved. It is concluded that unified medical insurance is good at narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas, and promoting the coordinated development between urban and rural areas, but the system of medical insurance still needs to be improved to help the lowincome groups so as to reduce inequality within urban and rural areas respectively.

    How Does the Innovation Environment Promote “SRDI” Enterprises' Innovation? Study on Synergistic Effects Based on fsQCA
    LI Yueting1, GAO Yu1,2, HE Miao3
    2025, 27 (2):  54-65.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.006
    Abstract ( 18 )   PDF (1034KB) ( 9 )  
    Promoting innovation among “SRDI” (abbreviation for “specialized”, “refined”, “unique” and “innovative”) small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) is an important measure to strengthen supply chains and build an innovative nation. The innovation environment is a key external condition for nurturing innovation. Based on the case of “SRDI” SMEs in 31 provinces of China, the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) and NCA are combined to explore the synergistic effects of innovation infrastructure, market environment, labor quality, financial environment, and entrepreneurial level on enhancing the innovation performance of “SRDI” SMEs. It is found that a good market environment is a necessary condition for achieving the innovation performance of “SRDI” SMEs; there are three pathways to promote the innovation performance of “SRDI” SMEs, namely, the dualwheel drive of market and finance, the dualwheel drive of infrastructure and market, and the threesided synergy of market, talent, and entrepreneurship; under certain conditions, there exists a substitution relationship between innovation infrastructure and financial environment.

    Generation Logic and Solution of Elite Capture in Rural Revitalization:A Case Study Based on C Village in Eastern Hubei
    YUN Chunxi1, WANG Sa2
    2025, 27 (2):  66-76.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.007
    Abstract ( 13 )   PDF (1415KB) ( 48 )  
    The relationship network effect of rural society makes information and resources always intercepted and captured by a small number of elites at the first time. Institutional inertia has gradually formed and strengthened the preference of rural society for elite governance. Rural elites obtain support from the outside world and transmit vertically through the social relationship network. The differential pattern of information dissemination within the village leads to villagers' political indifference, which further aggravates the aiming deviation. The comity and stability of atomized villagers and the tolerance and patience of disguised acquiescence provide psychological space for elite capture. While avoiding the elite capture, the civilian capture should also be avoided at the other end. The elite capture should be fundamentally alleviated by shaping a positive elite culture with responsibility and action, improving the villagers' sense of political efficacy and participation quality, strengthening the external system supply in line with the modernization of rural governance, strengthening the guidance of party construction, and stimulating the village to gather political consensus.

    How Do Social Changes Reveal the “Black Box” of Policy Changes?Interpretation of the Advocacy Coalition Framework Based on the Multilevel Model of Technological Transformation
    QU Zongxiang1, AN Ran2
    2025, 27 (2):  77-89.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.008
    Abstract ( 12 )   PDF (1433KB) ( 16 )  
    As a mainstream tool to explain policy changes, the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) has broken the “iron triangle” thinking in the traditional policy research. However, the social changes driven by technology, as an important factor in promoting policy changes, have been long overlooked. As a result, the ACF still finds it difficult to explain the impact of environmental changes, and the operating mechanism from policy output to policy impact is still unclear. In this regard, the multilevel model based on technological transformation has significant advantages in explaining the “black box” state of policy changes. The process is based on the grassroots level, the “sociotechnical” system, and the landscape level, and is characterized by several stages:the formation of coalition beliefs and policy change demands, coordination of social groups and loosening of policy forms, social changes and policy discontinuity, and coalition reorganization and completion of policy changes. The social and policy changes driven by digital technology verify the rationality of this framework, and thus confirm and clarify the significant roles of social changes in promoting policy changes and their realization process.

    How to Promote Regional Green Innovation Collaborative Development under the “Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality” Targets:An Analysis Based on 46 Waste Disposal Cases in Beijing
    XIE Yongle1, YUAN Lei2, WANG Hongmei3
    2025, 27 (2):  90-101.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.009
    Abstract ( 19 )   PDF (1533KB) ( 16 )  
    Green and lowcarbon circular development driven by innovation is a key engine for constructing an economicsocialecological community in the new era. Based on collaborative governance and the theory of government performance governance rooted in public values, a “regionsystemsubject” collaborative development system of green innovation is built guided by the “carbon peak and carbon neutrality” targets. Using Python web scraping, cluster analysis, and ArcGIS fitting, the progress, achievements, and challenges of waste disposal in Beijing are explored. The findings reveal that, based on the characteristics of clustering facilities and the interactive network of elements, a networkbased organizational system has been established with citydistrict government coordination. This system promotes innovation and application of waste disposalresources regenerationcyclic utilization, while multilevel policy tools are integrated and implemented through classified and hierarchical promotion. Meanwhile, issues that need further resolution include scientifically planning the relocation and layout of waste disposal sites in the integrated city, improving the “demandbased” and “performancebased” combination matrix of facilities, refining embedded technology upgrades and application mechanisms, and maximizing the “Pareto effect” of policy tool allocation. Policy recommendations may be provided for strengthening citydistrictstreetcommunity coordination, ensuring producer responsibility, optimizing technology empowerment, and enhancing intelligent management.

    Study on the Sentencing Balance Between Money Laundering and Predicate Crimes
    AN Huiyu
    2025, 27 (2):  102-110.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.010
    Abstract ( 21 )   PDF (979KB) ( 20 )  
    The majority of views hold that the sentencing for money laundering crimes should not exceed that for predicate crimes to avoid the phenomenon of “sentencing inversion”. However, a predicate crime serves only as a factual premise for money laundering, which is not an unpunishable postevent behavior. Sentencing discretion should focus on retributive punishment and preventive punishment while ensuring both the internal and external balance. In comparison, on the one hand, due to the independence of the type and degree of legal interest infringement, the retributive component of punishment for money laundering may not necessarily be lower than that for predicate crimes. On the other hand, the necessity for special prevention is an individualized judgment of the offender, and the antimoney laundering criminal policy from the perspective of general prevention may not be less stringent than that applied to predicate crimes. Therefore, the phenomenon of “sentencing inversion” can be reasonable under certain conditions. In judicial practices, assessing whether the sentencing of money laundering crimes and predicate crimes is balanced should not be limited to comparisons within the same criminal chain. Instead, it is also necessary to examine the appropriateness of sentencing for similar crimes across different criminal chains.

    Challenges and Reshaping of AIassisted Sentencing from the Perspective of Due Process
    HONG Tao
    2025, 27 (2):  111-120.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.011
    Abstract ( 19 )   PDF (997KB) ( 22 )  
    AIassisted sentencing is a key project in the construction of intelligent justice, but from the perspective of due process, it has been found that its application poses multiple challenges, e.g., the principle of procedural participation being hollowed out by automated decisionmaking, and discriminatory decisions violating the principle of procedural neutrality, etc. In fact, these challenges don't merely stem from the uncertainty of artificial intelligence, but the deeper reason is that the traditional theory of procedural justice has not included the digital space into the litigation field, ignoring the regulation of technology developers and the limitation of procedural openness not advancing to the era of explainability. Under the category of procedural justice, the technical procedural justice and traditional procedural justice are both based on the theory of dignity and judicial credibility, and the former can supplement the latter's era limitations in terms of applicable fields, regulatory objects, constituent elements, etc., so “supplementarity” should be introduced. The theory under the judicial sentencing scenarios includes the first layer of the “peopleoriented” principle, and the second layer of the compliance obligations of the sentencing system and the procedural rights of stakeholders. Under this guidance, the procedural selection system should be added, the algorithm disclosure system should be clarified, the identification system and expert assistance system should be improved, and the intelligent accountability system should be established. Furthermore, the cooperative research and development mechanism, algorithm filing mechanism, algorithm hearing mechanism and judicial training mechanism should be expanded as linkage.

    Realization Model of the Legalization of Ecological Civilization Education
    LIU Zhijian
    2025, 27 (2):  121-129.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.012
    Abstract ( 14 )   PDF (970KB) ( 12 )  
    The rule of law of ecological civilization education is an important carrier of ecological civilization education into the national education system. From the national, environmental and livelihood views of Xi Jinping's thoughts on ecological civilization and the dual dimensions of the legal obligation realization model, two basic modes of ecological civilization education can be deduced: the national obligation and the public participation. Among them, the national obligation mode includes the national legislative confirmation of ecological civilization education, the implementation of ecological civilization education regulations, and judicial guarantee, etc; the public participation mode takes public services as the main attribute, with extensive public participation as the main carrier, and complements public participation in environmental protection. However, these two modes have their own boundaries, advantages and disadvantages of activity. On the basis of the national obligation mode, an integration of the public participation mode has become a better realization mode of the rule of law of ecological civilization education. This model draws on the two basic and complementary modes, taking the harmonious coexistence between man and nature as the overall coordination view, the environmental publicprivate cooperation as the overall approach, and the construction of procedural coordination mechanism as the carrier to promote the highlevel coordination between the state and the public. Therefore, a new path can be provided for accelerating the improvement of the implementation of the concept that clear water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains by clarifying the various realization modes of the rule of law of ecological civilization education and constructing the theoretical map of the rule of law of ecological civilization.

    Putting the People First: The Historical Evolution and Logical Direction of the CPC's Literary and Artistic Thoughts
    ZHANG Qiyue
    2025, 27 (2):  130-136.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.013
    Abstract ( 15 )   PDF (949KB) ( 12 )  
    “Adhering to the principle of putting the people first” is a magic weapon for CPC to defeat the enemies in its practical journey based on Marxist historical materialism. It also provides the confidence for the Party to always maintain the sobriety and determination of “taking the examination”, which reflects the theoretical form of the Sinicization and modernization of Marxism. Learning, thinking and practicing the onecentury history of the Party, from literature and art serving the workers, farmers and soldiers to literature and art serving the people, from “uniting” to “taking the people as the core”, putting the people first, as the unique political advantage of the CPC that distinguishes it from other parties, has always run through the Party's literature and art practices. And in the historical changes and practical considerations, the contemporary “people's literature and art” is to be directed at taking the people as teachers, taking the people as mirrors, and taking the people as scales. Therefore, grasping the scientific connotations of “putting the people first”, returning to the historical scenes of literature and art development, exploring the historical evolution of the CPC's thoughts of “the people's literature and art”, and elucidating the practical tension of its logic direction, are representing the strong vitality of Marxist literary and artistic theory in the practice of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

    Predicaments and Reshaping Path of College Students' Subjectivity in the Era of Digital Intelligence
    LUO Jianghua1, SHEN Ju1,2, LI Hongzhan1,3
    2025, 27 (2):  137-142.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.014
    Abstract ( 23 )   PDF (929KB) ( 12 )  
    Subjectivity is the manifestation of an individual's selfconsciousness and agency, serving as the foundation for selfidentification and value realization. College students, who are in their youth, have a particularly strong desire for establishing their subjectivity. However, the instrumental rationality of digital intelligence technology risks homogenizing and disciplining their modes of existence. Based on Heidegger's phenomenological interpretation of subjectivity formation, the multiple predicaments of subjectivity faced by college students in the era of digital intelligence are systematically analyzed from three dimensions: technology reflection, selfgeneration, and identity construction. These predicaments include the concealment of life meaning, the suspension of presence experience, and the barriers to interpersonal construction. To address the subjectivity crisis among college students, universities should emphasize the integration of virtual and real worlds, construct a new ecology of digital intelligence education, strengthen individual mindfulness, cultivate digital intelligence literacy, advocate embodied teaching, and foster the rationality of intersubject communication so as to reshape college students' subjectivity.

    Analysis on the Cultivation of Outstanding Engineers of Emerging Engineering Education Based on Tacit Knowing Theory
    LI Mei, CHEN Hongbing
    2025, 27 (2):  143-150.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.015
    Abstract ( 11 )   PDF (966KB) ( 12 )  
    “Emerging engineering education” serves as a critical driver for the connotative development of higher engineering education in China. Addressing the practical challenge of the insufficient engineering nature in cultivating outstanding engineers, the theory of tacit knowing based on the turn of epistemology focuses on the tacit synergy ability of “individual participation”. According to the characteristics of “personality, embodiment, sociality, innovation, and responsibility”, the “participation” concept of the training mode of innovative talents in “emerging engineering education” is put forward, that is, the existence mode of “individual's reflexive and embodied engagement in interaction.” The concept of “participation” emphasizes the existence of personal knowledge, the innovative experience in the situation and the involvement of reflexive communication. Its significance lies in enabling the paradigm transformation of “emerging engineering education” excellent engineer training towards “practicality, humanity and compound”, and helping the rise of human beings and the sustainable development of engineering education.

    From Regulation to Recognition: Institutional Construction of Secondtier Academic Governance Within Universities
    YU Lichuan
    2025, 27 (2):  151-158.  DOI: 10.15936/j.cnki.1008-3758.2025.02.016
    Abstract ( 21 )   PDF (1009KB) ( 12 )  
    Secondtier academic governance within higher education institutions integrates efficiencyoriented administrative regulations and value norms based on legitimacy recognition, therefore the administrative regulation and value recognition jointly reveal the complexity of the construction of secondtier academic governance within universities. At the levels of value orientation, functional logic, and organizational forms, the balance between efficiency and legitimacy, rationality and suitability, and the value tensions that may be legal but not necessarily effective, are explored. In terms of administrative regulation, it focuses on the administrative control and bureaucratic reinforcement, the game between centralization and decentralization, and the positioning of organizational roles and positions; regarding value recognition, it emphasizes academic affiliation and relational systems, value function and meaning construction, and multiple standards as well as complex expectations. To promote the transformation from regulation to recognition in secondtier academic governance, the unification of instrumental rationality and value rationality should be sought, rights and responsibilities should be optimized, and appropriate logic should be maintained, thus facilitating the effective linkage between regulation and recognition.
