情境化知识--唐娜·哈拉维眼中的"客观性"解读

在科学的客观性问题上,以往主要有两种代表性的观点:一是客观性是科学合理性的产物;二是客观性是社会与境的产物.哈拉维的"情境化知识"是在后一种路径上发展出的对客观性的解读,主要有三个特征,即局部的视角、负责的科学和发展的辨证法.这一理论丰富了我们对客观性的理解,开启了身体与意义关系研究的新节点,并具有政治和伦理意义.     

A Tragedy of Egoism——an Analysis of George Eliot''s Moral Concern in Middlemarch

George Eliot's works are usually taken as morally didactic.But in Middlemarch,a complex and voluminous work,her moral concern seems ambiguous and hard to follow.By close reading of the text,we can find that the tragic fall of those main characters is essentially due to their egoism.This essay tries to reveal Eliot's basic moral concern embodied in this novel,that is,to render love and understanding based on Feuerbach's religion of humanity as against egoism,as a solution to the predicament of human existence and as a way to happiness.
