近年来台湾民间宗教信仰素材小说论评——东年、黄凡、阮庆岳等的作品

随着物质高度发展而精神问题日趋严重,民间宗教信仰成为台湾社会生活的重要组成部分。东年小说对佛教经典作了人性化的诠释,显示台湾佛教的“人间化”特色。阮庆岳着眼于民间宗教信仰的某些变质,但将其当作善良小民为了生存所作的努力,凸显了台湾民间宗教信仰的“有情”特征。黄凡的《大学之贼》中,民间宗教信仰与政治、经济势力相结合,成为某些人攫取利益、敛聚财富的工具。本应为社会良心的知识分子的普遍堕落,以及与他们的“成功”相辅相成的日渐庸俗、浅薄、颓靡的社会思潮和风气,反映了富裕社会的整体沉沦。

论国家对宗教自由的适当限制

宗教自由同其他权利、自由一样,也不是没有界限的,一定程度上还需要国家的限制。同时,不能忽视的是,国家对宗教自由权的限制也是应当受限制的。一般而言,国家限制宗教自由应当遵守宗教自由法律保障的基本原则,即宗教自由原则、宗教平等原则、国家中立原则、宗教宽容原则。国家限制宗教自由的特有原则和界限,具体包括国家限制宗教自由应当遵守特有原则,即宪法保留原则、法律保留原则和比例原则以及国家限制宗教自由的界限——公共利益两个方面的内容。     

我国社会组织政策参与及其制度分析

在现代社会,以社会组织为载体的参与是比公民个人直接参与更为合理有效的政策参与途径。由于我国社会组织自身能力有限以及制度空间的挤压,目前其对于政策的影响只起有限的作用。当前我国社会组织政策参与主要存在政策参与率较低、政策参与内容的非政治化和途径的非制度化等问题。针对导致社会组织政策影响力低的制度因素,政府应为社会组织的发展创造能促型的法律、制度与政策环境,即构建"分类管理、项目引导、行为监管"的新管理模式、制定出台社会组织基本法以及进一步转变政府职能、拓宽社会组织政策参与的渠道等。

托尔斯泰《艺术论》在中国

托尔斯泰的《艺术论》作为世界一流小说家比较系统的艺术理论著作,以呼吁艺术同美脱钩,专事情感交流,且以宗教性和世界性为伟大作品的标准,在19世纪美学中独树一帜。《艺术论》在中国的接受,以1921年、1958年和2005年的三个中译本为界,可分别以人生的艺术、宗教意识批判,以及意识形态的重新认可为其标识。可以说,《艺术论》在中国的接受史,大体也反映出中国一百年以来文艺理论的基本走向。     

Post‐Secularism and the European Court of Human Rights: Or How God Never Really Went Away

This article analyses the critical yet elusive notions of state neutrality, secularism and religious coercion under the European Convention in light of the European Court of Human Rights recent decision in Lautsi v Italy. We contend that the real concern in the Italian crucifix case was not the infringement of the school pupils’ religious freedom nor the proselytising or coercive effect of the ‘passive’ religious symbols. Rather, opponents of the longstanding symbols were animated by desire for strict religious equality, a notion that is, correctly in our view, not guaranteed under the Convention. Lautsi has significantly cleared the conceptual undergrowth surrounding state neutrality and the varieties of secularism, reined in the elastic notion of religious coercion and eschewed attempts to squeeze the constitutional diversity of European religion‐state frameworks into a strict American‐style separationist mould. The Convention jurisprudence on freedom of religion has finally come of age.     

A Stone’s Throw from the Metropolis: Re-Examining Small-Agency Homeland Security Practices

Police agencies nationwide have enhanced their homeland security preparedness capacity since the 9/11 attacks. Evidence suggests that departments have not uniformly adopted measures to prepare for and respond to critical incidents. Rather, larger agencies are more likely than their smaller peers to take such steps. Small agencies do not constitute a homogenous group; some experience geographic isolation while others are near major metropolitan areas. Unclear is whether small agencies (25 or fewer full-time sworn personnel), those that are commonly found to be less prepared, benefit from proximity to large-agency peers. This study examined whether physical and relational proximity to large departments contributed to homeland security preparedness in over 300 small departments. A structural equation model revealed that interactions with large agencies facilitated preparedness but physical proximity had no direct effect. Increasing geographic isolation from large-agency peers indirectly affected preparedness by stifling the level of inter-department interactions.     

The Church,Ethnonationalism, and the State

Although the process of the acquisition of independence by countries and large ethnic groups in the post-Soviet region and the Eastern Bloc as a whole is complete, over the next few decades Churches are hardly likely to become propagandists of peace and tolerance.
