对乔治·赫伯特诗歌中人神关系的解析

乔治.赫伯特于1633年出版了诗集《圣殿》,自此享有很高的声誉。赫伯特诗歌中所传达的一种无所不在的基督精神吸引了各个时代的读者。在这部诗集中,赫伯特以独特的方式向人们展示了他心中的人神关系。他突出强调了物质世界——人——上帝之间的等级关系,人从肉体到精神的成长历程,以及人从诞生到堕落再到复活的过程,从而体现了上帝的仁慈之心。

国际机制与和谐世界构建：基于亚太地区的视角

国际机制是和谐世界构建的重要路径,也是实现国家利益与世界利益和谐互动的基本手段。构建和谐亚太是推动和谐世界建设的切实步骤,积极参与和完善亚太地区有关合作机制,是保障中国与本地区其它国家共享和平与繁荣的重要条件。当前亚太地区的合作机制建设已取得较大进展,但也存在若干不足。未来中国与其他相关方仍需立足于地区实际,稳步推进本地区相关合作机制建设,通过和谐地区建构为中国的和平发展创造一个良好的周边环境和战略依托。     

世界城市与青年发展战略思考

随着全球化浪潮不断向纵深发展,世界城市建设步伐日趋加快。当前世界城市内涵不断丰富,呈现出与传统世界城市建设内涵不尽一致的特征和趋势。青年群体是当代世界城市建设的重要力量,青年发展在本质上与世界城市内涵具有内在一致性;青年问题与世界城市化问题存在同构现象;青年事务与世界城市变迁走向具有同塑化趋势。因此,为更好地促进青年积极贡献于世界城市建设,应该坚持科学发展观,指导当代青年工作和青年发展。

A crisis of trust: history,politics, religion and the polio controversy in Northern Nigeria

ABSTRACT

In the middle of 2003, disagreement over the safety of the oral polio vaccine pitted ordinary citizens and community leaders in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria against the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and Nigeria's federal authorities. During the crisis that ensued, five northern states (Niger, Bauchi, Kano, Zamfara and Kaduna) banned the use of the controversial vaccine on children in their respective domains. Underpinning Obadare's paper is the assumption that the immunization crisis is best understood after considering developments in the broader politico-religious contexts, both local and global. Thus, he locates the controversy as a whole against the background of the deepening interface between health and politics. He suggests that the crisis is best seen as emanating from a dearth of trust in social intercourse between ordinary citizens and the Nigerian state on the one hand, and between the same citizens and international health agencies and pharmaceutical companies on the other. The analysis of trust is historically embedded in order to illuminate the dynamics of relations among the identified actors.     

A Conversation Between Utopia and Anti-Utopia:The Behavioristic Utopia Walden Two

After the Second World War, the American behavioral psychologist B. F. Skinner created a new utopian illusion. Instead of designing the high-technological utopia which used to be popular in the early 20th century, B. F. Skinner described an experimental community in his novel Walden Two. Walden Two embraces the proposition that the behavior of humans is determined by environmental variables, and that behavioral engineering which systematically alters environmental variables can shape and reinforce human behavior, generating a utopia. Walden Two answers the controversial issues put forward by the anti-utopian novels such as Brave New World, Anthem, and The Clockwork Orange. It is considered to have played a pivotal role in the development of the utopian ideal of the 20th century.     

Twentieth Century Benchmark Dates inInternational Relations:The Three World Wars in Historical Perspective *

This paper builds on the author’s earlier work on benchmark dates inInternational Relations. The Introduction summarises this work and explains howthis paper extends the analysis from suggestions made, but not developed, in earlierpublications. The second section looks in detail at 20 th century benchmark dates centredon the three world wars (First, Second and Cold). It argues that the changes clusteredaround the Second World War are both deeper and more extensive than those clusteredaround either the First World War or the Cold War. The third section uses theseinsights to open-up a macro-historical perspective on the 20 th century, demonstratingthe ways in which choices in relation to both time and scale affect the constructionof macro-historical perspectives. The fourth section demonstrates the advantages ofa two-century perspective on the 20 th century. Here, and in the conclusion, we arguethat the key issues that underpinned world politics in the 20 th century are best seen asthe downstream consequences of the dynamics and challenges ushered in by the 19 thcentury “global transformation.”
