生态视角下对福尔斯《魔法师》的解读

阐述英国当代著名的后现代主义作家约翰·福尔斯通过代表作《魔法师》,从自然生态、社会生态、道德生态的独特的、生态整体主义的视角,为读者揭示了生态失范的后现代社会的、人类赖以生存的环境状况。生态的失衡,给自然环境乃至人类的精神世界带来的种种危机,具有一定的社会和文化渊源。福尔斯希望建立的人与自然、人与人和谐相处的生态观,对于人类社会的生存、发展、前途和命运具有深远、现实的指导意义。     

约翰·亚当斯海权思想研究

约翰·亚当斯是美国早期的外交家和美国第二任总统,也是最早关注美国海权建设的政治家之一。约翰·亚当斯海权思想的形成深受美国的繁荣和安全对海洋严重依赖的现实,他的职业背景特别是他参与美国政治活动的经历,以及关于中立国自由航行的国际法和国际惯例的影响。其海权思想主要包括坚持中立权利和海上航行自由、海军对维护国家独立和海洋权益的作用以及对发展强大海权的信念。约翰·亚当斯的海权思想十分理性,极具现实主义色彩,对美国海军政策和海洋战略的发展有重要影响。

Early eighteenth-century Newtonianism: the Huguenot contribution

John Theophilus Desaguliers’s allegorical poem The Newtonian system of the world, the best model of government (1728) crystallizes the contribution of several important French Protestant exiles to the construction of early Newtonianism. In the context of diverging interpretations of Newton’s scientific achievement in terms of natural religion, writers such as Des Maizeaux, Coste, Le Clerc and others actively disseminated a version of Newtonianism which was close to Newton’s own intention. Through public experiments, translations, correspondence, reviews and books, they managed to convey a vision of Newtonian science which coincided with their propaganda of English liberties in Church and State. Therefore their effort on behalf of Newtonianism can be interpreted as part of a wider strategy of assimilation into English society at a time when most exiled Huguenots had given up hope of ever recreating a French Reformed Church at home.     

Newtonianism and the enthusiasm of Enlightenment

The career of John Jackson (1686-1763), Arian theologian and controversialist, provides a key to unlocking the early reception and quick collapse of a Newtonian natural apologetic originally developed by Samuel Clarke. The importance of friendship and discipleship in eighteenth-century intellectual enquiry is emphasised, and the links between Newton and his followers are traced alongside those of a group of Cambridge Lockeans, led by Jackson’s direct contemporary Daniel Waterland, who proved instrumental in the initial dismantling of Clarke’s brand of Newtonian apologetic. The controversial context of this engagement is shown to have been largely provided by the religiously compromising rise of freethinking, and Tindal’s Christianity as old as the creation (1731) signalled the dangers to proponents of natural religion as an adjunct of Christian apologetic in such a heated atmosphere. Religious division of the sort that resulted paradoxically played into the hands of the freethinkers in the anticlerical atmosphere of the 1730s, and accusations were exchanged between Newtonians and Lockeans accordingly. The dynamic of England’s Enlightenment experience is, then, a complicated one, and, as the career and writings of Jackson and William Whiston demonstrate, it was one which absorbed as well as repudiated ‘enthusiasm’.     

John Wheeler’s Desert Island: The conservatism of non-empirical physics

This paper argues that non-empirical physics, as paradigmatically embodied by string theory, is a conservative research program, in spite of appearances. John Wheeler's 1950s research program of "daring conservatism" is identified as another non-empirical research program that checks all the same boxes as string theory. This case study is used to further analyze the connection between conservatism and a non-empirical approach. It is concluded that the prime difficulty of non-empirical physics is not that it involves unbridled speculation, but that the lack of empirical input prevents it from achieving revolutionary progress.
