The striking feature ofpolitical philosophy of the Frankfurt School prior to Habermas is that through technical criticism，cultural criticism，and consumption criticism，it reveals the general domination of capitalist society，showing that individuals are increasingly swallowed by the general society，pursuing individual liberty being the theme of their political philosophy.After Habermas，political philosophy of the Frankfurt School turned more to criticism of political ethics，which reflects the changes in modern Western society as well as the tremendous influence of modern Western political philosophy.Gradually，it gets away from historical materialism.

Environment is the integrative and generative nature.When “environment” concept is used to express the integrative nature,it is endowed with certain characteristics of stillness,isolation,and lifelessness,forming such social ideas and way of behavior as “environmental protection” and “environmental governance”.To change this human-centered view of environment,it is necessary to find environmental ability,e.g.the self-produced ability of natural environment as an integrity,and the ability of it to produce other powers.The former is the natural habitat ability,and the latter is the environmental productivity.On the one hand,environment,as an integrative productivity,releases its productive function to the life world,forming biological diversity;on the other hand,it releases its productive function to human society,promoting the development of ethnic group as well as culture,politics,and economy.The environmental ability to breed the earth is direct,while its ability to mold human society is indirect and soft.In this sense,environmental ability is environmental soft power.

Fromm argues thatman’s reliance on nature is determined by its naturalness,and since man is a social product,man’s social nature determines that man will inevitably go out of nature for freedom.Now that modern man,in pursing freedom,regards nature as the obstacle to freedom,he will conquer and remold it,leading to alienation of nature.In spite of the contradictions between them,conflicts might not necessarily occur between man and nature.The root for the frequent ecological crises nowadays lies not in the contradictions between man and nature,but on the imperfect man cultivated in the imperfect society.To overcome these ecological crises and build a harmonious relationship between man and nature,perfect man should be developed.

“Baocun (contracting village)” as a way of poverty alleviation is getting more and more popular due to the impulsion of the competition of local governments’ political achievements.Though it can reduce poverty in some extent,it focuses on short-term effect and formalism,leading to low efficiency.From long run,this kind of competition of political achievements,based on lawful right to hurt,will further reinforce right rent-seeking,turning ordinary material rent-seeking into conspicuous rent-seeking.As a result,the governments’ right is undesirably extended,the distribution of resource is further distorted,and corruption worsened.To avoid this,a relatively fair evaluation system of political achievements should be set up to limit government right and scale,and strengthen supervision over government right.And a long-run mechanism of poverty alleviation will improve administrative efficiencyand speed China’s poverty alleviation.

Through investigation to 221 farm households in Meitan County,Guizhou Province,a binary logistic model was constructed,and two issues,e.g.contract choice and self-performing of oral contract were researched from the perspective of reputation mechanism.The analysis shows that signal transmission effect,motivation and punishment effect,and network effect have promoted the importance of reputation,making it positively increase the choice rate of oral contract and contract self-performing rate in farmland transfer.Besides,the size of the transferred land is also a key factor:the larger the land is,the lower the oral contract rate will be,and so will be the contract self-performing rate.Finally,relative policies are put forward.

The previous study on poverty in Wuling Mountainous Areas was mainly focused on economic poverty,and less attention was paid to the multidimensional poverty of the farmers there.Through measuring and decomposing multidimensional poverty,it is found that the farmers’ multidimensional poverty in Wuling MountainousAreas is obviously higher than that in the rural areas of China.The three dimensions of heath facility,fuel,and housing contribute the highest rates of multidimensional poverty in the area,with Guizhou being the most serious.To shake off the dimensional poverty in Wuling Mountainous Areas,we should firstly create economic growth poles and increase regional economic development;secondly,special funds should be raised in the area to provide aid for those exceptionally poor;and thirdly,vocational training should be given to farmers to promote their quality and change their way of living.

From rational “control” logic of the traditional administration to rational “response” logic of “tool-value”,and then to rational “cooperation” logic of publicity,the rational change of public administration has increased the citizens’ rationality in policy participation.The citizens’ rational demands are inherently divided into individual rationality,group rationality,and rationality of public benefit.The extent of the citizens’ participation depends on the effective interactions between administration rationality and citizen rationality;different administration rationality,matched with different citizen rationality,will produce different types of policy participation.Analyzing policy participation in a campaign style from the perspective of citizen participation,this paper,taking the anti- incineration movement in Panyu,reveals a process of informal policy participation based on the rational interaction between citizens and government.Through rational perception and guidance,the rational ability of both the citizens and the government is enhanced,and the citizens’ collective action is turned into rational policy engagement,thus mass disturbance is avoided.

The formation of national prejudice is closed related to historical memory.For one thing，the implantation and “power” of historical memory make the production and dissemination of national prejudice possible，on the other hand，compared to the economy，politics，social class and other social factors，the national prejudice which rooted in the historical events and historical culture are more easily “legalize” a mark of communication experience to other national groups so as to cause the national estrangement.Advocating national tolerance actively，increasing the touch and contaction between different national groups，viewing of the individual historical envents objectively and dialectically are the important prerequisite for eliminating national prejudice and maintaining the harmonious development of national relationship.

Environmental impact assessment is characterized by scientific and technological specialty and multiple benefits，giving relatively large discretionary power to environmental administrative body in execution.However，the present vague environmental legislation fails to provide guidance for environmental impact assessment，leading to the query of the legitimacy of judicial review of environmental impact assessment.It is undeniable that in a country under the rule of law，legitimate illustration for environmental impact assessment can be found in the right of non-leaking protection，in the restricted administrative power under the decentralized principle，and in the legitimate administrative procedure under a political framework in which administrative power is restricted by judicial power.

Nowadays，it is a common phenomenon that college students take part-time jobs.However，the students’ right is hard to defend when trouble occurs，which is caused originally by the vague definition of the Laborer set by the legislation in China.This paper holds the opinion that those students taking part-time jobs should be considered in the Labor Law because they have the full subject qualification of being a laborer.Thus，it is high time to definitude the legal qualification of students taking part-time jobs by judicial interpretation or regulations.In the long run，it is to improve the legislation of labor and elucidate the definition of laborer that one should be in the protection of the law if he works in different labor allocation models and as a result，the legal right of more part-timers will be well defended.
