关于普遍伦理的可能性条件的元伦理学考察

“普遍伦理”(又称“全球伦理”)是最近几年在国内外兴起的一种伦理学主张。对“普遍伦理何以可能”的元伦理问题深入探讨就会发现 ,在当代世界 ,任何伦理只有满足具体的绝对性、超越后现代、成为内在的“自生系统”、应用性、具有神圣与世俗相结合的价值观、跨文化等六项“可能性的条件” ,才能具有全球范围的普适性。跨文化的交流和对话 ,大概是当前讨论“普遍伦理”问题所能期待的最好结果

“The Compass of Our Life”: A Qualitative Study of Marriage and Faith Among Chinese Immigrants

Twenty highly religious Chinese Christian married couples (n = 40) were interviewed to examine how religious faith influenced their perceptions of marriage and family life. Most participants held advanced graduate degrees (14 PhD and 13 MS degrees). Their ages ranged from 28 to 66, and the number of children ranged from one to four. Grounded theory methods (including open coding and axial coding) were applied to analyze the data. Based on the interview data three emergent themes were identified: (1) Moving from atheism to theism (“God is love”), (2) changing perceptions of marriage (“Marriage is established by God”), and (3) a new priority (“Put God first”). Supporting qualitative data are presented in connection with each theme. Implications for research and practice related to Chinese immigrants’ marriage and family in the United States are discussed.     

论敦煌宗教话本《庐山远公话》和《叶净能诗》

敦煌文献中的《庐山远公话》和《叶净能诗》,是两篇宗教文学话本.它们都是佛教徒或道教徒利用民间说话艺术形式进行宗教宣传、神话宗教人物的宣传作品.《庐山远公话》叙东晋名僧惠远的故事,但除了惠远家住雁门、庐山出家的基本框架外,其他绝大部分情节、特别是其主干情节如白庄劫寺、远公为奴、远公与道安论议等都是作者虚构的.这种虚构在正统僧人看来是"诳",但对于文学作品来说,却是非常必要的,是文学的自觉.《叶净能诗》则把初唐至盛唐百余年间的明崇俨、申天师、叶法善、罗公远等著名道士的奇闻轶事都"捏合"在道士叶净能的身上,集中表现他的奇术异能.该话本有些情节写得饶有风趣,宣传教化及娱心两相兼顾.     

Intermarriage and the demography of secularization

One way of measuring religious affiliation is to look at rites of initiation such as baptism. English statistics show that for the first time since the Church of England was founded, less than half the nation is Anglican on this criterion. The pattern of formal religious transmission changed during the Second World War. Previously christening was quasi-universal, and the Church of England was the preferred provider. By the end of the war baptism was evidently optional, and chosen principally by parents whose religious identities matched. Further analysis suggests that affiliation now tends to be lost following marriage to someone from a different religious background, though the USA differs from Europe in this respect. A demographic theory of advanced secularization is outlined that specifies a proximal cause for declining religious affiliation, and provides tools for predicting the changes to be expected over future decades. The theory also helps to explain why affiliation may fall most quickly where there is most religious diversity.

本文对路德中、晚期宗教改革活动作了认真的考察研究,认为他并没有"背叛市民资产阶级的宗教改革路线"、"出卖农民的利益",也没有"堕落成为诸侯的奴仆",相反,他的改革立场是前后一贯的,他始终是一位执着追求自己理想的市民资产阶级宗教改革家,具有坚定的爱国主义的政治思想家,基本上完成了当时德国历史所赋予的任务.
