危机与精神转变
Full text linkCrises bear a great potential for risks and opportunities. The ongoing pandemic and the eruption of wars indicate first of all the risk that all that we cherish may perish and swiftly disappear in a few moments. On the other hand, crises afford us a great chance to wake up and embark on a spiritual journey. During the so-called Ignatian Year which stretched from May 2021 through July 2022 Jesuits and their partners in mission tried to explore how the gun loving Basque gentleman named Inigo got transformed into a Saint whose name referred to an early Christian martyr—“Ignatius”--who, according to his own testimony, longed to be devoured by wild beasts in his burning desire to become united with the Crucified Jesus Christ. How is it possible that a narcissistic ego may gradually be turned into an oblation poured out for the salvation of the world?危机蕴藏着巨大的风险和机遇。疫情的持续和战争的爆发首先表明我们所珍视的一切可能会在片刻之间消失的风险。另一方面，危机为我们提供了一个醒悟并踏上精神之旅的绝佳机会。在所谓的依纳爵年期间，即2021年5月到2022年7月间，耶稣会士和他们的布道团伙伴试图探索依纳爵，这位热爱枪支的巴斯克绅士，是如何变成一位圣徒的？依纳爵的名字与一位早期基督教殉道者——“伊格内修斯”——有关，根据他自己的证词，他渴望被野兽吞噬，渴望与被钉在十字架上的耶稣基督同化。一个自恋的人是如何逐渐变为一位甘愿为拯救世界献身的人呢
康德与当代道德哲学
Full text linkIn the contemporary discussion of moral philosophy in English and German speaking circles we can roughly distinguish between three currents namely consequentialism, the deontological theories and virtue ethics. My question is the following: how to relate these three currents to the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant? In which interpretation or in which interpretations is the moral philosophy of Kant present in the contemporary discussion?在当代英语和德语人群中讨论道德哲学时，我们可以大致区分三个流派，即结果论、道义论和美德伦理。我的问题是：如何将这三种流派与伊曼努尔·康德的道德哲学联系起来？康德的道德哲学属于当代讨论中的哪一种解释或哪几种解释
契约论与人类尊严: 回应弗里多·里肯的《康德与当代道德哲学》
Full text linkIn his article “Kant and Contemporary Moral Philosophy” Professor Friedo Ricken discusses the influence of Kantian philosophy on contemporary moral philosophy. It involves not only Kant’s relations with consequentialism, deontology and various representatives of virtue theory, but also the understanding and interpretation of Kant by contemporary ethicists. What interests me most is the connection Ricken recognizes between Kant and contract ethics.In the context of normative ethics, the theory of contract, which regards contract as the starting point of moral argument, is undoubtedly an important theoretical framework. The ethics of contract theory understands morality as a rational design or wise contract made by human beings for the protection of interests and the satisfaction of needs. Such a contract reflects the moral implication of taking into account the equal status of the subject of action and respecting its independent will. The theory of contract regards morality as a cooperative behavior between actors for the mutual protection of interests, which enables the society to achieve maximum justice.弗里多·里肯教授在他的文章《康德与当代道德哲学》中讨论了康德哲学对当代道德哲学的影响。它不仅谈到了康德与后果论、道义论和美德理论的各个流派代表人物的关系，还谈到了当代伦理学家对康德的理解和解释。我最感兴趣的是里肯认识到康德与契约伦理之间的联系。在规范伦理学的背景下，以契约为道德论证起点的契约论无疑是一个重要的理论框架。契约论的伦理学将道德理解为人类为了保护利益和满足需要而做出的理性设计或明智契约。这种契约体现了考虑行为主体的平等地位和尊重其独立意志的道德意蕴。契约论将道德视为行为主体之间为相互保护利益而进行的合作行为，使社会能够实现最大的正义。然而，将道德理解为人与人之间相互保护利益的契约也受到了批评和质疑。规范的伦理体系中存在一些与契约合作无关、而与单向纯利益及其价值诉求有关的问题，正如18世纪早期一位英国神学家和一位哲学家（即约瑟夫·巴特勒和大卫·休谟）所揭示的那样。休谟指出，他人的痛苦和需要也是人类道德行为的重要动力。规范体系还包括利他主义和关爱弱者的道德能力
学习上帝的仁慈：: 根据《何西阿书11:8》进行灵修转变
Full text linkA growing focus on God’s mercy and forgiveness emerged in the wake of the recent Pontificates of John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis. Our time with its multiple crises cries for healing, forgiveness, and the experience of God’s mercy. In social, political, and global terms, humanity craves for “lasting peace, born of the marriage of justice and mercy” (John Paul II, 2001, no. 15). The experience of God’s forgiveness, merciful healing and new life has been expressed many times in the Bible. But, theologically, it has never been formulated as directly as in Hosea 11:8, when God’s own heart becomes “turned over”, “converted” following the blaze of his own overwhelming compassion, paving the way for a fundamental spiritual transformation, rooted in forgiveness and mercy, that opens wellsprings of dignity, healing, and new life for all.随着近期教宗若望·保禄二世、本笃十六世和方济各的一些表态，人们越来越关注上帝的仁慈与宽恕。我们这个时代面临着多重危机，因此迫切需要治愈、宽恕和上帝的仁慈。在社会、政治和全球层面，人类渴望“通过正义与仁慈创造持久和平” （JPII 2001，no. 15）。《圣经》中多次提到上帝的宽恕、仁慈的治愈和新生的经历。然而，从神学上讲，它从来没有像《何西阿书11：8》那样直接表达出来，当上帝的心随着自己同情心的迸发而“转变”时，上帝也 “回心转意”，为根植于宽恕和怜悯中的、根本的灵修转变铺平道路，为所有人打开了尊严、治愈和新生的源泉
苦难时期展现的精神友谊: 郎世宁与乾隆皇帝圆明园的共同缔造者
Full text linkGiuseppe Castiglione, arrived in China during one of the most troubled times in history, in the midst of the Rites Controversy. Yet, he came to know the interiority of the Qianlong emperor with deep intimacy. His design work at the Yuanmingyuan reflects an empathic understanding of the Emperor’s desires and longings, emulating the spiritual unity of the Lord Creator with artists and architects working as one. Having known Qianlong since the Emperor’s childhood, he was well aware of his pleasures and concerns, his self perception as Son of Heaven, and Lord of the vast domain he held together in an era of peace. Castiglione and his Jesuit brethren gathered inspiration from the creative design of gardens and palaces from their imaginative memory and the similar lived experience of the most powerful figures in Europe. Parallels are drawn between Maria de Medici’s longing for her home in Florence articulated in the design of Luxembourg garden and the emperor’s desire to quell the longing of his Fragrant Concubine, Xiang Fei, for her home in Kashgar shown in the Islamic influences found the Belvedere palace at Yuanmingyuan. Marian imagery in the depiction of the Emperor’s concubine waiting for her Lord is also examined. The spiritual lesson: in times of crisis, speak less, listen more and engage your senses.郎世宁来中国时，中国正值礼仪之争这一历史上最艰难的时期之一。不过，他熟悉地了解到乾隆皇帝的内心世界。他在圆明园的设计工作反映了他对皇帝愿望和向往的移情式领悟，并向造物主和艺术家、建筑师浑然一体工作的精神统一看齐。乾隆幼时起，郎世宁就认识他，他深知乾隆的乐与忧以及他作为天子与和平时代大一统领地君主的自我认知。郎世宁与他的耶稣会兄弟们从他们富有想象力的回忆以及欧洲权贵们体验的相似经历中，收集了花园与宫殿的创意设计灵感。卢森堡花园的设计清晰反映了玛丽·德·美第奇（Maria de Medici）对她在佛罗伦萨的家乡的思乡之情，同样，皇帝的意愿要减轻香妃对故乡喀什的思念，体现在圆明园远瀛观的伊斯兰风格的影响中。玛丽的形象也在皇帝的妃子等待其君主的描写中被审察到。精神教训：危机时期，少说，多听，用心感受
中冶集团在俾路支省深耕19年: 跨文化管理挑战背景下发展社会绩效的案例研究
Full text linkChina Metallurgical Group Corporation(MCC) ran the Saindak Copper-Gold Mine for 19 years after it completed its contract for the mines’ construction in 1990. MCC later won the bidding for operating the mine, and started the first 10-year lease contract in 2002, which was renewed twice in 2012 and 2015 for two 5 year periods until 2022. In this case study we will investigate MCC’s successful social performance experience, and explore what the core factors are in helping to develop the local community. We hope to show how this company managed to work with local people, successfully enough to be rewarded with the contract renewals for operating the mine.在1990年完成矿山建设合同后，中国冶金科工集团有限公司（MCC）经营了山达克铜金矿19年。中冶集团后来中标运营该矿山，于2002年开始了第一个为期10年的租赁合同，并于2012年和2015年两次续约，每次续期5年，直到2022年。在本案例研究中，我们将调查中冶集团成功的社会绩效经验，并探讨帮助发展当地社区的核心因素。我们希望展示这家公司如何成功地与当地人合作，以及如何成功续签运营矿山的合同。

A preliminary survey on Franciscan documents in the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology (Panaji, Goa)
No full textIn the 19th century, the suppression of the Religious Orders in the wake of the definite implementation of a Liberal Government in Portugal led the authorities in Goa to seize the rich and extensive archives of the colleges and convents throughout the Estado da Índia. However, unlike the archives of the Dominicans, Augustinians or Oratorians, which are kept at the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology in Panaji, Goa, the records from both Franciscan Provinces (Madre de Deus and São Tomé) are nowhere to be found. This article aims to highlight the potential of the Directorate of Archives and Archaeology’s holdings in order to further the knowledge of Franciscan presence in Asia by exploring documentary series not directly produced by Franciscans.Keywords: Archives; Directorate of Archives and Archaeology; Goa; Province of Madre de Deus; Province of São Tom

Providing Livelihood for the Native Catholics: The Father of Christians and support strategies for converts (Goa, c. 1540-1710)
No full textThe office of the Father of Christians was created in the 1530s, with the purpose of instituting a person responsible for caring for catechumens and converts who lived in the State of India. The position of the Father of Christians was instituted in a context marked by systematic efforts to Christianize native populations through granting privileges to converts while restricting or harassing local non Christian populations. The purpose of this article is to analyze a facet of the work of the Father of Christians: his efforts to support catechumens and converts, “putting them in some public posts or with people who could help them,” as the 1595 Instruction emphasized. The following documentary sources will be analyzed to achieve this objective: the laws of the State of India, the correspondence exchanged between the Fathers of Christians, the kings of Portugal and the viceroys, and dozens of records (produced between the last quarter of the 17th century and the first decade of the 18th century) that demonstrate to whom such catechumens and neophytes were given to serve and what kinds of trades they would be taught
