This is Isaiah users on the Internet a long article published in a series of questions, in the six article, Isaiah pointed out that by comparison, Shanghai University, The early scholars Zhu Xueqin doctoral thesis, "the collapse of moral ideal state," there is suspicion of plagiarism.

academic non-standard?

"indirect references to disguise a direct reference to"

Isaiah that "the moral ideal of the collapse of the country," a book there is suspicion of plagiarism, which soon will be people to contact is still hot The "Wang Hui" incident, CCTV and even a few days ago also for special programs on the incident. In Isaiah Isaiah and read the article, many users view, "the ideal state of moral destruction," the existence of academic issues and Wang Hui "against despair," has many similarities, Isaiah himself acknowledges this. But Isaiah said in the last series, "our generation to do academic or thoughtful people are watching Wang Hui, Zhu Xueqin, Wang Mingming books ... ... this problem started, not only is someone else's shame is our history . If we go further a point, then also in these 问题 opened up the road on the books. We have not been better education, is our regret, but if the books will be reset to these problems out, we Kongpa than Xianzai not even close. This is a fact. "

Isaiah is a University Ph.D., for the time being still unwilling to make public his real identity, told Morning Post interview, Isaiah said that he pointed out that the alleged plagiarism Zhu Xueqin The series of articles this week, three in succession from the beginning to write the beginning and did not complete the program. Among them, the more convincing is the second part, Part IV and final book, Title IV, and the task force's major year for Zhu Xueqin doctoral thesis, "State of the destruction of moral ideals."

Isaiah said Zhu Xueqin in the second main "sun and lightning," there is suspicion of plagiarism. Through the "Sunshine and Lightning" and "Sister Revolution: The American Revolution and the French Revolution of Revelation," than, Isaiah said, "Sunshine and Lightning" article, "copying the Dunn's research results", "copy of the book translator Yang Xiaogang translation "," will direct an indirect reference to masquerade as a reference and copy of the Yang Xiaogang, who's asked. "

Zhu Xueqin yesterday on the phone to the Morning Post said, "Sunshine and Lightning" was originally a "sister revolutions" in the preface, the book was published in order to ensure, in the preamble to withdraw from the manuscript down, after Individual income in "the collapse of moral ideal state," a book. Zhu Xueqin that "the sun and lightning," a text is the preface, is to write down the contents of the book, of course, a lot of references to the book's translation and content. And Isaiah also said that he knew the text of the original as a "sister revolutions" preface, but he also believes that Zhu Xueqin in addition to the beginning of the article referred to the "sister revolutions" of the book, "is no longer mentioned the book or the author, not Dunn admits that yes anywhere in 的 views, has never cited a footnote no Zai. Therefore, the reader You good reason to believe may be just from the 该书 Zhu Xueqin of inspiration Erwen the information and views Dushi Chu I's. "Isaiah At the same time that "sister revolutions" was published in February 2003, and "Zhu Xueqin's postscript was written in July 2003, and have sufficient time to see the publication of the book", that is completely in the paper before publication according to the books have been published sources of information indicate references.

suspected of plagiarism?

extensive use of Western scholars for research and reference, but not to specify

in Isaiah series of articles in Part IV and final book by comparing the works of American scholars Carol Blum "Rousseau and the Virtue of the Republic," said Zhu Xueqin's doctoral thesis "moral ideal of the collapse of the country," there is suspicion of plagiarism. "By Mr. Zhu Xueqin's doctoral thesis on which famous" moral ideal of the collapse of the country "and the American scholar Carol Blum's book," Rousseau and the Republic of Virtue "part of the contents of the survey, (that) not specified in the case of large number of overtly or covertly, either explicitly or implicitly to copy, theft of the latter fact. "Isaiah said in the article. Than just the "destruction of moral ideal country," a book hundreds of pages, Isaiah points out dozens of "State of the destruction of moral ideals" and "Rousseau and the Republic of Virtue" similarities. Isaiah First of all that, "Mr. Zhu Xueqin in the doctoral thesis of Rousseau and others familiar with the original lack of first-hand, most indicate the French original, citation probably not out of the original, which made great use of Blum and other Western scholars, research and reference , but not be marked. "Furthermore, Isaiah cited several examples to show that" the collapse of moral utopia, "a book directly with the" Rousseau and the Republic of Virtue "content, but more marked is the reference or your own results. "Zhu book 172-182 pages, the book basically is a copy Blum pages 135-142. Zhu book 298-301 pages, the book basically is a short Blum pages 260-277."

then, Isaiah and by comparison Research continues to believe that: "From the title to the central idea, from the structure to specific content, ranging from materials to language, Zhu large number of reference books, followed the Blum's works. Blum basic framework of the book, that is, of Rousseau 'moral' ideas Analytical (Chapters 1-6) and in the French Revolution in its impact and role of inspection (Chapter 8-14), both part of the You Yi Rousseau's death, before the Revolution change its image and status of the connection ( Chapter 7). This three-part written with the main structure corresponds exactly: Chapter 1-4 thinking about Rousseau, Chapter 5 transition, Chapter 6-8 about the French Revolution. Blum's book, specifically about the concept of virtue , leads more clear, Zhu, however, is for a moral ideal, for a transcendental concept, for a value of rationality and so long-winded. But the central idea is the same, that is to discuss why a noble moral values turn into terror the sake of ideology. Some of the key concepts such as 'language change', also have similarities. "

in a brief telephone conversation yesterday, said Zhu Xueqin, in his" State of the destruction of moral ideal of "one The book has indicated, Blum book is its reference, but the book also gives a more detailed comment. Zhu Xueqin, but also said he would in due course formal response, particularly after the Isaiah to show that the true identity, will, and he has done academic study.

Post dialogue Isaiah

"changes the times and the academic standard issue"

Post: think of how to write, "Zhu Xueqin - another academic a "Wang Hui" "? With "Wang Hui incident" has to do with?

Isaiah: writing this is because "Wang Hui incident" caused. My friend and I were often on the style of study, academic norms made more heated topic to discuss, then I am looking for several other books to compare. Zhu Xueqin's book, I've generally seen, the content is relatively familiar, of course, easier to get a look.

Post: write a few articles about How long?

Isaiah: probably write off Friday evening from Wednesday morning, a day full of Fill the operator is. I have written part of the posted immediately, absolutely nothing like pre-planning statement. So you see, I wrote the first fact, there is a problem, and because at that time I did not find the "sister revolutions" of the book, have asked mistake Zhu Xueqin her version is, in fact later found to come from the translation. If I had thought that this part will certainly be deleted or overwritten. But later found that Zhu Xueqin problem is indeed better than I would like to be more serious.

Post: In your opinion, Zhu Xueqin in the "moral ideal of the collapse of the country," many of the problems connected with Wang Hui in "Farewell despair" in question are similar?

Isaiah: Zhu Xueqin and Wang Hui, the two norms in a number of issues have similar problems, such as lengthy reference to other works, is not completely hide, but do not have carefully marked. Another example is written in a number of footnotes will direct reference to other indirect references. This from today's standards is copied, but the standard was unfair to people. In fact, this 20 years, our academic work is a great effort to introduce Western learning, the main role from a megaphone. Of course, does have complete ignorance, to fish in troubled waters, and these should be approached. I think Zhu Xueqin should not belong to this column, at least at that time, he is a sincere thinker, wrote a number of things that mean something.

Morning Post: As a young scholar, how to see Wang Hui, Zhu Xueqin, there may be other scholars in the early works of some of the academic norms on the issue?

Isaiah: the original purpose of my article is a deliberate irony is that, not to overthrow who wrote the article is said to change the times and the problem of academic norms. Overall, I think the academic attitude should be sympathetic, understanding. On the kind of thing, if critical, it is best not to individuals, this is history, as part of our own. To fully draw the line is impossible.
