“…Then the host told them that it is better to change to four fruits in the morning and three fruits in the evening. The monkeys felt very good after hearing this [7]. Thus, the illusion of monkeys can also be regarded as behavioral economics.…”

There is an assumption in Economics: people are rational. While, what behavioral economics emphasizes is that human behaviors are irrational. Based on the theories of behavioral economics, this paper analyzes practical cases and data, draws the conclusion that people are irrational many times in their daily lives. This paper intends to explore the elements leading to irrational consumption and investments, and provides conservative suggestions on avoiding such irrational behaviors.

“…On the other hand, although the Daoist philosopher rejected moral absolutism and distrusted metaphysical claims to absolute truth, he was not an anti-realist because -unlike many Buddhists and postmodernists who are anti-realists -he accepted that there is a mind-independent and language-independent world (Liu, 2010, p. 161). Similarly, Huang (2018) analyzed the Zhuangzian patient moral relativism and found that it was a kind of moral realism (which is incompatible with moral skepticism and anti-realism). Zhuangzi developed a practical, thisworldly philosophy.…”

This paper provides insights into the relationship between language and politically relevant aspects of culture in India and China which are as follows: attitude toward revolution and tradition, the domination of politics over religion or vice versa, and a concern for the liberty of the individual. The paper introduces a novel approach to the comparative study of civilizations by advancing the political-linguistic explanation. In so doing, it combines Hajime Nakamura's hypothesis of the strict connection between language and culture (understood as a way of thinking) with Samuel P. Huntington's emphasis on the impact of cultural differences on the political dimension of society-so that our explanatory model can be expressed as follows: language→culture→politics. As far as language is concerned, the focus is on the basic structure of Sanskrit and Chinese; besides, special attention is given to Indian and Chinese philosophies of language. Culturally, the most relevant schools of Hindu philosophy may be called "ultraconservative" since they tend to ground unchanging meaning firmly in metaphysics and rely on the supreme authority of ancient religious texts. In contrast, the Chinese typically considered language a social mechanism for shaping our behavior (so the relation of language and society is the most crucial); they also expressed clearly divergent views on naming. In short, at least four distinctive perspectives are essential: (1) conservative Confucianism, (2) anti-traditional and highly authoritarian Legalism, (3) egalitarian and linguistically skeptical Laozian Daoism, (4) nonconformist and proto-libertarian Zhuangzian Daoism.
