厄普代克的“小镇”

美国作家约翰·厄普代克发表于2004年的第21部长篇小说《小镇》以三个不同地域的典型的美国中产阶级郊区小镇为场景，通过追溯其主人公欧文·麦肯齐的一系列婚外情，忠实记录了美国半个多世纪性道德的变迁史。作者并且指出，追求个人身体的自由固然是作为思想动物的人的本能的一部分，然而它同时也会侵害社会规约，给其他人带来伤害。     

为功利主义辩

功利主义常被人们误解和曲解,但作为有世界影响的重要学说,功利主义有深厚的理论基础和现实基础。本文从功利主义的基本内涵、功利主义的效果论、功利主义与中国古代民本思想、“事功之学”的关系和与邓小平理论的关系五个方面,为功利主义思想辩护,主张旗帜鲜明地提倡功利主义的伦理观。     

论约翰·多恩艳情诗中的张力

本文从约翰.多恩艳情诗的语言张力和意象张力入手,分析了这两种张力在文本内部的构建。在此基础上,又进一步指出文本中的这种张力折射出了诗人外在与内心的强烈冲突,是诗人内心张力的一种流露。     

论杜威的"教育无目的论"与哈耶克的"自生秩序"

传统的观点认为,教育目的是教育主体对于其所希望达成的结果的设定,教育目的是由人类意志主观外在地决定的.杜威则提出了"教育无目的论",其实质是"内在目的论"或"自生目的论".杜威的这一观点可以从哈耶克关于自然和社会发展过程中的"自生秩序"的理论中获得哲学理论上的支持.     

艺术经验的再阐释--杜威美学的动态解读

对杜威所提出的"艺术即经验"的动态解读,是重新阐释杜威美学的关键所在.杜威关注艺术与生活、与社会之间的关联,认为艺术自身的产生就是为了使人类获得有意义的经验,而经验的持续再创造也更加有利于艺术的发展.艺术经验不可能在一个静态环境中获得,而其自身也处于一个动态的过程之中.     

Queer Christian: The Catholic Homosexual Apologia and Lesbian/Gay Practice

This essay concerns recent positions on homosexuality taken by the Roman Catholic Church and places them with respect to historical documents engaging same-sex desire. Analyzing Aelred of Rievaulx's twelfth-century Spiritual Friendship, John Bloxam's 1894 The Priest and the Acolyte, and Marc-André Raffalovich's 1896 Uranisme et Unisexualité, this essay offers perspectives on contemporary lay and ecclesiastical apologias, defenses, and critiques of homosexual behavior. The relationship between past and present locates the Christian churches' response to the modern homosexual as a historically developed—rather than permanently fixed—model of identity and action.

森有礼的"Education in Japan"在中国的翻译及其影响

叙述森有礼的外交家、教育家经历及其在美国编纂出版Education in Japan(<日本的教育>)一书的经纬,藉以窥见日本明治维新初期教育发展概貌;该书由美国传教士林乐知(Mllen.Young John)在上海译成中文<文学兴国策>出版,意在用美国教育经验来推动中国重视教育,这确在当时的中国知识阶层中引起了反响;该书由英文译成日文时其选译内容和出版时间都有悬殊,因此若对本书的英、中、日诸种版本加以对照和比较,既可为我们如何认识和处理在异质文化的传播和吸收过程中所发生的关系和问题抑或在研究方法论上均可提供若干有益的启示.

Transforming habit: revolution,routine and social change

Compelling recent scholarly work has explored the crucial role affect, emotion and feeling might play in activating radical social and political change. I argue, however, that some narratives of ‘affective revolution’ may actually do more to obscure than to enrich our understanding of the material relations and routines though which ‘progressive’ change might occur and endure in a given context – while side-stepping the challenge of how to evaluate progress itself in the current socio-political and economic landscape. Drawing on the work of Eve Sedgwick, John Dewey, Felix Ravaisson and others, this article asks whether critical work on habit can provide different, and potentially generative, analytical tools for understanding the contemporary ethical and material complexities of social transformation. I suggest that it habit’s double nature – its enabling of both compulsive repetition and creative becoming – that makes it a rich concept for addressing the propensity of harmful socio-political patterns to persist in the face of efforts to generate greater awareness of their damaging effects, as well as the material forms of automation and coordination on which meaningful societal transformation may depend. I also explore how bringing affect and habit together might productively refigure our understandings of ‘the present’ and ‘social progress’, as well as the available modes of sensing, instigating and responding to change. In turning to habit, then, the primary aim of this article is to examine how social and cultural theory might critically re-approach social change and progressive politics today.
