This second volume of Voegelin's magisterial Order and History, The World of the Polis, explores the ancient Greek symbolization of human reality.

This third volume of Order and History completes Voegelin's study of Greek culture from its earliest pre- Hellenic origins to its full maturity with the dominance of Athens.

Through an absorbing analysis of...(展开全部)

張灝認為康、譚、章、劉四人是對西方進入中國所帶來的「定位秩序的危機」作出回應。康有為和劉師培尋找個人和未來烏托邦社會的道德完美。譚嗣同和章炳麟在根本的要義之中，以儒家「仁」的概念和大乘佛教兩者的認定，尋找精神上的洗禮。他們都是對存在意義和社會政治秩序的雙雙分解作出回應。他們嘗試透過新的世界觀去重建認識力與道德的一致性。 作者認為這種尋找主要靠著中國思想的傳統。他極其仔細且令人佩服地告訴我們書中每位主人翁所依靠的儒家、佛教、道家的思想和經典，這些思想在中國歷史上何時及如何出現，二十世紀以前有哪些思想家延續或促成了這些觀念？讀者並沒有陷入模糊不清的中國傳統之中。相信中國思想在清末已告破產的人，是無法讀完這本書的。 作者的第二個主要貢獻，在於強調這些依據傳統的世界觀對新的、可察覺的進退維谷情形，是不連續的回應。西方侵入如何產生的不連續性特點，並未充分討論。...(展开全部)
