四川大地震的哲学思考 

英国哲学家阿兰·德波顿(Alain de Botton)为英国《金融时报》中文网撰稿

2008年5月28日 星期三  

公元62年2月5日凌晨，一场强烈的震灾在罗马坎帕尼亚省(Campania)地底迸发，数千名毫无察觉的居民在几秒钟内丧命。庞培城(Pompeii)内大部分建筑在睡梦中的人们头顶上坍塌。救援行动因随后发生的火灾而受阻。幸存者除了身上污黑的衣衫，失去了一切，而往日的豪宅大院也变成了一堆瓦砾。在整个罗马帝国境内，到处...

留意发展的过度疲劳

● 伟达

　　再好的东西，譬如一部名曲，一本名著，一种美食，如果接触太多，使用周期太长，都会令人产生厌倦之意。用心理学的术语表示，叫做“审美疲劳”。

　　中国人都熟悉这样的历史故事，平时吃惯山珍海味的皇亲国戚们，某一天忽然觉得普通老百姓吃的窝窝头最香最有滋味。难道是山珍海味不再好吃了吗？显然不是，而是被贵族们吃腻了，产生了“胃口疲劳”。

　　现代社会，发展是为所有国家与民族追求的主题，但必须注意到的是，与发展共生的一大矛盾或问题，就是疲劳。疲劳可能渗透到政治、经济和文化发展的各个领域，而且一旦出现“疲劳现象”，短时期内很难纠正，似乎只能设法减少其负面影响和可能造成的损失。

自由化日本的崛起

约瑟夫·奈

　　大多数人在关注亚洲强国崛起时，都将注意力集中在中国和印度身上。人们往往忘记了日本的5万亿美元经济总量，位居世界第二——比中国和印度的总和还多。其人均收入也是中国的十倍。

　　另外，日本每年的国防开支是400亿美元，其军力排名世界前五位。不错，中国的经济发展迅速，总量很可能在十年或二十年内超过日本，但如果我们要对东亚的力量作严肃的分析，那就不可忽略日本这个重要元素。

　　日本在世界史上扮演了一个独特的角色。它是亚洲第一个遇上全球化影响，掌握其规律，并为己所用的国家。

　　此外，日本还经历了两次脱胎换骨的变革。19世纪的明治维新期间，日本向全球搜罗知识和技术，从而在1904年的日俄战争中打败了一个欧洲强国。

　　不幸的是，日本在193...

Murray N. Rothbard的一篇小短文。文中，他赞扬了Franz Oppenheimer在《The State》中所提到的两个也仅有的两个获得财富的途径，一条是商品或服务的生产以及自愿交换别人生产的商品或服务。这种方式是自由市场的方式，Franz称它为通向富裕的“经济方式”。另一条是规避生产和交换的必要性，某个人或某些人通过暴力得到别人的产品。这种剥夺他人生产成果的方式，Franz称为“政治方式”。
