隐士是中国历史上一个非常独特的文化现象。在那为数众多的历代隐士群体中，纵然也有不少佛、道教的信徒，但他们却主要不是出于宗教信仰而隐居的。他们的隐居，主要是为了实现自我，按自己喜欢的生活方式过自己的生活。他们的隐居，开始也许是出于一种政治态度和政治选择，逐渐就转化、发展成一种生活方式和人生价值追求，并最终趋向一种审美境界和文化追求。在这个过程中，隐士们以自己的种种价值认定、人生实践和文化创造极大地影响了中国的历史文化传统。《适性任情的审美人生：隐逸文化与休闲》对中国古代隐逸文化做了认真地梳理、耙块，并探讨了中国隐逸文化的理想与价值追求、精神。

Open any medicine cabinet and you're nearly guaranteed to find a bottle of aspirin crowded in among the lotions and other pills.

Michael Massing describes the American press coverage of thewar in Iraq as "the unseen war," an ironic reference given thenumber of reporters in Iraq and in Doha, Qatar, the location of theCoalition Media Center with its $250,000 stage set. He argues thata combination of self-censorship, lack of real information given bythe military at briefings, boosterism, and a small number ofreporters familiar with Iraq and fluent in Arabic deprived theAmerican public of reliable information while the war was goingon. Massing also is highly critical of American press coverage of theBush administration's case for war prior to the invasion ofIraq: US journalists were far too reliant on sources sympathetic to theadministration. Those with dissenting views--and there were morethan a few--were shut out. Reflecting this, the coverage was highlydeferential to the White House. This was especially apparent on theissue of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction .... Despite abundantevidence of the administration's bra

Daniel Carey examines afresh the fundamental debate within theEnlightenment about human diversity. Three central figures - Locke,Shaftesbury, and Hutcheson - questioned whether human nature wasfragmented by diverse and incommensurable customs and beliefs orunified by shared moral and religious principles. Locke's critiqueof innate ideas initiated the argument, claiming that no consensusexisted in the world about morality or God's existence. Testimonyof human difference established this point. His position wasdisputed by the third Earl of Shaftesbury who reinstated a Stoicaccount of mankind as inspired by common ethical convictions and animpulse toward the divine. Hutcheson attempted a difficultsynthesis of these two opposing figures, respecting Locke'scritique while articulating a moral sense that structured humannature. Daniel Carey concludes with an investigation of therelationship between these arguments and contemporary theories, andshows that current conflicting positions reflect long-standingdifference
