南怀仁在比利时鲁汶大学的天球仪复制件: 作为中欧之间友谊和交流的象征
Full text linkIn the year 1675, at the request of Emperor Kangxi, Ferdinand Verbiest drew the plans for six bronze astronomical instruments that stand till today on top of the Ancient Observatory in Beijing. The most remarkable of them is the Celestial Sphere. This happened at the peak of the friendly exchange between the Jesuits and China initiated by Matteo Ricci, Adam Schall von Bell and Ferdinand Verbiest during the 17th and 18th centuries which are the golden period of the relations of China with the West. The Opium Wars during the 19th century and theBoxer Rebellion in 1900 destroyed all that. Th astronomical instruments witnessed this historical drama which makes them witnesses of the good and bad times of East-West relations.That fact inspired the Ferdinand Verbiest Foundation of Leuven University (Belgium) to order a perfect bronze copy of the Celestial Globe, manufactured in Beijing. From Leuven University the copy of the Celestial Sphere tells the world today to restore the old relationship of equality, mutual respect, and friendship between East and West.1675年，应康熙皇帝的要求，南怀仁绘制了六件青铜天文仪器的图纸，这些仪器至今矗立在北京古代天文台的顶端。其中最引人注目的是天球仪。第17和18世纪是中国与西方关系的黄金时期，由利玛窦、汤若望和南怀仁发起的耶稣会士与中国之间的友好交流达到了顶峰。第19世纪的鸦片战争和1900年的义和团运动摧毁了这一切。天文仪器见证了这一历史剧，使它们成为东西方关系好坏时期的见证者。这一事实促使比利时鲁汶大学南怀仁基金会订购了一个在北京制造的完美的天球仪青铜复制品。鲁汶大学的天球复制品告诉当今世界，要恢复东西方之间平等、相互尊重和友谊的古老关系
Natural Law and the Šarīʿah:: The Enclave of Reason Between Islamic ʾuṣūl al-fiqh and Al-Ghazali’s maqāṣid al-šarīʿah
No full textThis paper will examine the role played by the faculty of human Reason in Islamic Shariah law in pre-modern times. It is generally accepted that Natural Law played no part in the inception and development of Shariah and that natural morality is alien to the Islamic tradition, which is based mainly on a written religious tradition, namely the Quran, the Sunnah and the Hadiths. However, because law based on Revelation has a limited reach, which becomes more evident as time progresses, Reason may have played some part in the development of the Islamic legal system. In this article, we will see the significance of Reason in Islamic jurisprudence or fiqh and how Al-Ghazali felt the need to design a device called maqāṣid al-šarīʿah in order to bring under control the use of rational thinking in Islamic fiqh system so as not to endanger Sunni orthodox views on how the will of God makes itself manifest to men.
Keywords: Natural Law, Shariah, Islamic Law, Usul al-fiqh, Fiqh, Maqasid, Reason, Revelation, Islam, Al-Ghazal
商业教育之商业促进和平项目及其精神前提
Full text linkThe purpose of this paper is to shed light on the vision of B4P (Business for Peace) that management education can aim for within the new stakeholder management paradigm, and to explore the possibility that business schools in East Asia can lead the new paradigm of Responsible Management Education by developing and researching meaningful B4P business cases in the region based on the traditional philosophy of the Eastern world. It first introduces the framework of a basic understanding of the Business for Peace (B4P) through the system approach of management and explains the meaning of the spiritual dimension in management education for B4P from the perspective of Pope Francis’ “ecological conversion”. The paper then examines the opportunities and challenges of B4P paradigm in Asia by introducing the cases of the Kaesong Industrial Complex in Korea and the Greater Bay Area Initiative in China. Finally, the paper concludes with the vision of a model of a flourishing business for peace and prosperity for Asia and beyond.本文旨在阐述B4P（商业促进和平）的愿景，在新的利益相关者管理模式下开展管理教育，以东方传统哲学为基础，通过开拓和研究该地区有价值的B4P商业案例，来探索东亚商学院引领责任管理教育新模式的可能性。对B4P基本理解的框架的介绍，首先是通过介绍管理学的系统方法以及教宗方济各“生态皈依”的观点来解释B4P管理教育中精神维度的意义的。本文以韩国开城工业园区和中国大湾区建设为例，分析B4P模式在亚洲的机遇和挑战。文末展示了一种能促进亚洲乃至世界的和平与繁荣的商业模式
《澳门宣言》的思考
Full text link The proclamation of the Macau Manifesto by the Macau Ricci Institute is a significant achievement by the Institute in the promotion of a new kind of economic paradigm which the world greatly needs.
The COVID-19 pandemic which is ongoing will probably continue to impact humanity in the coming few years, if not the whole decade. Not only has it become a global health disaster, but it has changed different aspects of human life, especially in the less developed and marginalised areas where people suffer immensely under threat of hunger and death.
It is time for the world to look for a new paradigm of living, connecting, and acting. 澳门利氏学社（Macau Ricci Institute）发布的《澳门宣言》是其推动新经济范式的一项重大进展，该范式将能够满足世界经济的急迫需要。
2019新型冠状病毒病的大流行还在继续，或在未来几年甚至十年内持续影响全人类。这不只是一场全球卫生灾难，它还改变了人类生活的各个方面，尤其是在欠发达和边缘地区，人们正面临着饥饿和死亡的威胁，生活在水生火热之中。
世界是时候开始寻找有关生生活、联接和行动的新范式了
杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯诗歌中的灵修转变及其与中国诗人苏轼的共鸣
Full text link Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) is regarded as a great Victorian poet and arguably the most famous among Jesuit poets. Scholars in general believe he was deeply influenced by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius as a Jesuit priest and his poems reflect Ignatian spirit. Hence, during this Ignatian year (20 May, 2021---31 July, 2022) it is appropriate to explore certain Ignatian insights from some of his poems, focusing on the theme of spiritual transformation. The five sections of this article are: (1) Introduction: Early initiation to the pleasure of poetry in a Jesuit school; (2) Spiritual transformation from a Christian perspective; 3) Life of Gerard Manley Hopkins; (4) Excerpts of Hopkins showing his friendship with Jesus; (5) Conclusion: Resonance in Su Shi, a Chinese poet 杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯（1844-1889）被认为是一位伟大的维多利亚时代诗人，并且可以说是耶稣会诗人中最著名的一位。学者们普遍认为，作为耶稣会士的他深受《圣依纳爵的神操》的影响，他的诗歌反映了依纳爵的灵修。因此，在這依納爵年（2021年5月20日至2022年7月31日）我們可從他的詩作中探索依納爵的洞見，本文的主題是靈修轉變，全文可分為五個部分：（1）引言：早期開始領悟詩歌的樂趣；（2）从基督徒的角度看灵修转变；（3）杰拉德·曼利·霍普金斯的生平；（4）霍普金斯展示其与耶稣友谊的诗歌节选；（5）结论：中国诗人苏轼的共鸣
科学、政治与宗教: 关于南怀仁在钦天监任职的争论
Full text linkAs we celebrate the 400th anniversary of Ferdinand Verbiest’s birth, it is quitemeaningful to remember the most tragic event in his own life and in the history of the Catholic mission in China, the Calendar Case instigated by Yang Guangxian which led to the nationwide prohibition of Christianity and the arrest of almost all of the missionaries.Recent studies, based on Manchu, Chinese and Western writings, have helped us to better understand how Kangxi seized the opportunity of the Calendar Case to get rid of the regents and to assume personal rule. In this short essay, we shall look at how the missionaries who were exiled in Canton evaluated the involvement of Verbiest at the Imperial Astronomical Bureau.Their discussions shed a new light on the fragility of a synthesis between science, politics and religion which overlooks their mutual boundaries.在我们庆祝南怀仁诞辰 400 周年之际，同时也缅怀他本人和天主教在华传教史上最悲惨的事件——由杨光先挑起的历狱，导致在全国范围内禁止基督宗教并逮捕几乎所有传教士，而这种回忆是非常有意义的。最近基于满文、汉文和西文著作的研究帮助我们更好地理解康熙是如何抓住历狱的机会除掉摄政王并实行个人统治的。在这篇短文中，我们将探讨流亡广州的传教士如何评价南怀仁在清钦天监的参与。他们的讨论为我们揭示了一点：忽视科学、政治和宗教之间的界限就会导致这三个之间的关系变得很脆弱

善之经济
Full text link In the 18th century, the world was fraught with wars and religious conflicts. The Catholic Church and Protestantism were at bitter odds, and only business was the most secure field. Voltaire said:
Take a view of the Royal Exchange in London, a place more venerable than many courts of justice, where the representatives of all nations meet for the benefit of mankind. There the Jew, the Mahometan, and the Christian transact together, as though they all professed the same religion, and give the name of infidel to none but bankrupts. There the Presbyterian confides in the Anabaptist, and the Churchman depends on the Quaker’s word. At the breaking up of this pacific and free assembly, some withdraw to the synagogue, and others to take a glass. This man goes and is baptized in a great tub, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: that man has his son’s foreskin cut off, whilst a set of Hebrew words (quite unintelligible to him) are mumbled over his child. Others retire to their churches, and there wait for the inspiration of heaven with their hats on, and all are satisfied. (Voltaire, c.1778)
Voltaire painted a picture of commercial justice. In an era of political and religious conflicts, commerce provides an arena of harmony and mutual exchanges. Commerce was the highest goodness in the world then. Self-interest was acknowledged by all religions and peoples. In commerce, everybody treats one another equally in harmony without ideological conflicts. 18世纪的世界充斥着战争和宗教冲突。天主教会和新教势不两立，唯有商业领域最安全。伏尔泰说：
看看伦敦的皇家交易所，一个比众多法院更神圣的地方，所有国家的代表为了人类利益相聚在此。犹太人、穆斯林教徒和基督徒都在一起交易，好似他们都宣称信奉同一宗教，唯有破产者会被称作异教徒。在那里，长老会信赖再洗礼派，教士听信贵格会的话。在这场和平自由的聚会散伙时，一些人退回到犹太教堂，另一些人则去喝上一杯。这个人奉圣父、圣子、圣灵之名，去到大浴盆里受洗：那个人让把他儿子的包皮割掉，同时有一组希伯来语的词语（他完全听不懂）对着他孩子咕哝着。还有一些人回到自己的教堂，在那里戴着帽子等待天堂的启示，所有人都心满意足。（伏尔泰，C.1778年）
伏尔泰描绘了一幅商业正义的图画。在一个政治、宗教冲突的时代，商业提供了一个和谐与相互交流的舞台。商业是当时世界上的最高之善。所有宗教和民族都认可私利。商业中，每个人都平等和睦地对待彼此，没有意识形态冲突
