New Book: We the People, Volume 3: The Civil Rights Revolution. By Bruce Ackerman

By 爱德布克 @ 2013-11-13

We the People, Volume 3: The Civil Rights Revolution. By Bruce Ackerman. Harvard University Press 2014. ISBN: 9780674050297, 0674050290.

The Civil Rights Revolution carries Bruce Ackerman’s sweeping reinterpretation of constitutional history into the era beginning with Brown v. Board of Education. From Rosa Parks’s courageous defiance, to Martin Luther King’s resounding cadences in “I Have a Dream,” to Lyndon Johnson’s leadership of Congress, to the Supreme Court’s decisions redefining the meaning of equality, the movement to end racial discrimination decisively changed our understanding of the Constitution.

Ackerman anchors his discussion in the landmark statutes of the 1960s: the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Challenging conventional legal analysis and arguing instead that constitutional politics won the day, he describes the complex interactions among branches of government—and also between government and the ordinary people who participated in the struggle. He showcases leaders such as Everett Dirksen, Hubert Humphrey, and Richard Nixon who insisted on real change, not just formal equality, for blacks and other minorities.

The Civil Rights Revolution transformed the Constitution, but not through judicial activism or Article V amendments. The breakthrough was the passage of laws that ended the institutionalized humiliations of Jim Crow and ensured equal rights at work, in schools, and in the voting booth. This legislation gained congressional approval only because of the mobilized support of the American people—and their principles deserve a central place in the nation’s history. Ackerman’s arguments are especially important at a time when the Roberts Court is actively undermining major achievements of America’s Second Reconstruction.

刘皓明：雅典与梭伦：评柯素芝《出世与神情：西王母在中世纪中国》

到西安必登大雁塔。初唐时期留到今天的人造地面结构本来就屈指可数，而它们中间，恐怕没有哪个比大雁塔更人文荟萃了吧？要说能在长安这样的都市屹立一千三百多年而不倒，实在不是易事，因为就算能历尽乱世的兵燹劫掠而幸存，却保不齐躲得过“盛世”的拆迁；就连自然风景，不也早已因过度开发超限承载而疮痍满目、面目全非了吗？

登上大雁塔，自然要吟咏杜甫的名作《同诸公登慈恩寺塔》：

高标跨苍穹，烈风无时休，自非旷士怀，登兹翻百忧……

塔内确也未敢有失风雅，应景地悬挂着这首杜诗及其唱和之作的今人抄卷，只是那字写得实在比北京地下过街通道里立在地上的“收购药材墨盒”的牌子上的字好不了多少。在这种旅游热点，没有挂出像“和谐号”那样用电脑打的“书法作品”，就已经很不错了，不好奢望的。

大雁塔本名慈恩寺塔，慈恩寺是唐高宗为纪念其母长孙皇后、唐太宗之妻修建的，高僧玄奘曾在慈恩寺里奉勅译经。现存寺塔为武后时所重建，虽经后来历代修缮，却仍属为数极少的现存唐代地面结构中最著名的一个，是中古建筑史的活标本。这个凝聚了唐代政治、宗教、思想和物质文化的地面结构，尤其因杜甫《同诸公登慈恩寺塔》而成为唐代文学的一个坐标，这不仅是因为杜甫的诗写得好，还由于当年同杜甫一起登塔并唱和的“诸公”——高适、岑参、储光羲、薛据——的诗作也一一尚在。翻阅《文苑英华》，看到这首杜诗同其唱和之作被放在一起，读者仿佛能看到天宝十二年秋（西历753年）的某一天，这几位诗人在慈恩寺兴会的场景。因此除了文学价值之外，这组诗还有极高的史料价值。上个世纪末以来人文研究界时髦搞所谓物质文化（material culture）和公共空间，像杜甫高适岑参等人登慈恩寺塔的唱和之作，可以是这类研究的绝妙素材。

New Book: Religion without God. By Ronald Dworkin

About This Book

In his last book, Ronald Dworkin addresses questions that men and women have asked through the ages: What is religion and what is God’s place in it? What is death and what is immortality? Based on the 2011 Einstein Lectures, Religion without God is inspired by remarks Einstein made that if religion consists of awe toward mysteries which “manifest themselves in the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, and which our dull faculties can comprehend only in the most primitive forms,” then, he, Einstein, was a religious person.

Dworkin joins Einstein’s sense of cosmic mystery and beauty to the claim that value is objective, independent of mind, and immanent in the world. He rejects the metaphysics of naturalism—that nothing is real except what can be studied by the natural sciences. Belief in God is one manifestation of this deeper worldview, but not the only one. The conviction that God underwrites value presupposes a prior commitment to the independent reality of that value—a commitment that is available to nonbelievers as well. So theists share a commitment with some atheists that is more fundamental than what divides them. Freedom of religion should flow not from a respect for belief in God but from the right to ethical independence.

Dworkin hoped that this short book would contribute to rational conversation and the softening of religious fear and hatred. Religion without God is the work of a humanist who recognized both the possibilities and limitations of humanity.

New Book: The Classical Liberal Constitution: The Uncertain Quest for Limited Government. By Richard A. Epstein

By 爱德布克 @ 2013-5-25

The Classical Liberal Constitution: The Uncertain Quest for Limited Government.
By Richard A. Epstein.
Harvard University Press 2013.
ISBN: 9780674724891, 0674724895.

American liberals and conservatives alike take for granted a progressive view of the Constitution that took root in the early twentieth century. Richard Epstein laments this complacency which, he believes, explains America’s current economic malaise and political gridlock. Steering clear of well-worn debates between defenders of originalism and proponents of a living Constitution, Epstein employs close textual reading, historical analysis, and political and economic theory to urge a return to the classical liberal theory of governance that animated the framers’ original text, and to the limited government this theory supports.

Grounded in the thought of Locke, Hume, Madison, and other Enlightenment figures, the classical liberal tradition emphasized federalism, restricted government, separation of powers, property rights, and economic liberties. The most serious challenge to this tradition, Epstein contends, has come from New Deal progressives and their intellectual defenders. Unlike Thomas Paine, who saw government as a necessary evil at best, the progressives embraced government as a force for administering social good. The Supreme Court has unwisely ratified the progressive program by sustaining an ever-lengthening list of legislative programs at odds with the classical liberal Constitution.

Epstein’s carefully considered analysis addresses both halves of the constitutional enterprise: its structural safeguards against excessive government power and its protection of individual rights. He illuminates contemporary disputes ranging from presidential prerogatives to health care legislation, while reexamining such enduring topics as the institution of judicial review, the federal government’s role in regulating economic activity, freedom of speech and religion, and equal protection.

New Book: Legal Orientalism: China, the United States, and Modern Law. By Teemu Ruskola

By 爱德布克 @ 2013-5-16

Legal Orientalism: China, the United States, and Modern Law（《法律东方主义：中国·美国·现代法律》）. By Teemu Ruskola. Harvard University Press 2013. ISBN: 0674073061, 9780674073067.

Since the Cold War ended, China has become a global symbol of disregard for human rights, while the United States has positioned itself as the world’s chief exporter of the rule of law. How did lawlessness become an axiom about Chineseness rather than a fact needing to be verified empirically, and how did the United States assume the mantle of law’s universal appeal? In a series of wide-ranging inquiries, Teemu Ruskola investigates the history of “legal Orientalism”: a set of globally circulating narratives about what law is and who has it. For example, why is China said not to have a history of corporate law, as a way of explaining its “failure” to develop capitalism on its own? Ruskola shows how a European tradition of philosophical prejudices about Chinese law developed into a distinctively American ideology of empire, influential to this day.

The first Sino-U.S. treaty in 1844 authorized the extraterritorial application of American law in a putatively lawless China. A kind of legal imperialism, this practice long predated U.S. territorial colonialism after the Spanish-American War in 1898, and found its fullest expression in an American district court’s jurisdiction over the “District of China.” With urgent contemporary implications, legal Orientalism lives on in the enduring damage wrought on the U.S. Constitution by late nineteenth-century anti-Chinese immigration laws, and in the self-Orientalizing reforms of Chinese law today. In the global politics of trade and human rights, legal Orientalism continues to shape modern subjectivities, institutions, and geopolitics in powerful and unacknowledged ways.

The Roberts Court, seven years old, sits at the center of a constitutional maelstrom. Through four landmark decisions, Marcia Coyle, one of the most prestigious experts on the Supreme Court, reveals the fault lines in the conservative-dominated Court led by Chief Justice John Roberts Jr.

Seven minutes after President Obama put his signature to a landmark national health care insurance program, a lawyer in the office of Florida GOP attorney general Bill McCollum hit a computer key, sparking a legal challenge to the new law that would eventually reach the nation’s highest court. Health care is only the most visible and recent front in a battle over the meaning and scope of the U.S. Constitution. The battleground is the United States Supreme Court, and one of the most skilled, insightful, and trenchant of its observers takes us close up to watch it in action.

Marcia Coyle’s brilliant inside account of the High Court captures four landmark decisions—concerning health care, money in elections, guns at home, and race in schools. Coyle examines how those cases began—the personalities and conflicts that catapulted them onto the national scene—and how they ultimately exposed the great divides among the justices, such as the originalists versus the pragmatists on guns and the Second Amendment, and corporate speech versus human speech in the controversial Citizens United campaign case. Most dramatically, her analysis shows how dedicated conservative lawyers and groups are strategizing to find cases and crafting them to bring up the judicial road to the Supreme Court with an eye on a receptive conservative majority.

The Roberts Court offers a ringside seat at the struggle to lay down the law of the land.

New Book: Reflections on Judging. By Richard A. Posner

Reflections on Judging. By Richard A. Posner. Harvard University Press 2013. ISBN: 0674725085, 9780674725089

购买本书@亚马逊

In Reflections on Judging, Richard Posner distills the experience of his thirty-one years as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Surveying how the judiciary has changed since his 1981 appointment, he engages the issues at stake today, suggesting how lawyers should argue cases and judges decide them, how trials can be improved, and, most urgently, how to cope with the dizzying pace of technological advance that makes litigation ever more challenging to judges and lawyers.

For Posner, legal formalism presents one of the main obstacles to tackling these problems. Formalist judges—most notably Justice Antonin Scalia—needlessly complicate the legal process by advocating “canons of constructions” (principles for interpreting statutes and the Constitution) that are confusing and self-contradictory. Posner calls instead for a renewed commitment to legal realism, whereby a good judge gathers facts, carefully considers context, and comes to a sensible conclusion that avoids inflicting collateral damage on other areas of the law. This, Posner believes, was the approach of the jurists he most admires and seeks to emulate: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, Learned Hand, Robert Jackson, and Henry Friendly, and it is an approach that can best resolve our twenty-first-century legal disputes.

冯象：《摩西五经》修订版缀言

By 冯象 @ 2013-4-12

《摩西五经》初版是二〇〇五年春节过后脱稿的，一晃七年过去。其间于俗务之余译注了《智慧书》与《新约》，攒得些经验体会；“回头再看，就见出许多不足”（《创世记·修订版后记》），于是到了修订的时节。

译文的变动，粗粗算来，将近五千处。大多是进一步节俭文字、锤炼风格，但也有勘误、取别解或新说的。那初版的底本，原是八十年代中在哈佛念书时用的斯图加特旧版希伯来文传统本《圣经》（BHS, 1976），从《智慧书》开始，才换成第五版BHS（1997）。后者的注释，总体而言较旧版保守，反映了西方古典及中古语文研究的潮流。这次修订，生僻语词的校读，除开个别无善解多歧义的，一般就参照新版。

夹注，《摩西五经》不如《新约》详细，趁此机会增添两项内容：一是简要补充古代近东宗教、历史文化跟经文串解的知识；二是列出中文旧译一些有代表性的舛误——主要是和合本，因其流传较广，常被引用——方便读者对照查阅。

另有少数拗口的人名地名，做了减字换字或谐音意译。如《民数记》二十二章，善解城先知、比珥之子巴兰（Balaam，源自希腊语七十士本），据原文发音改作比兰（bil`am，谐音混乱，bela`）；再如《创世纪》三十八章，犹大三个儿子取名厄尔、俄男、安儿（参较和合本：珥、俄南、示拉），是谐音意译，反讽暗示三人或因作恶而丧生，或未能尽到小叔娶寡嫂“替哥哥结子实”的义务，致使家庭不得安宁。

本书初版问世迄今，几乎每天收到各地读者和信友的电邮，“提问、商榷、谈心得或祝祷，于我都是极大的勉励”（《新约·前言》）。在此谨表谢忱，并希望这第二版也能给诸君送上一份“生命的粮”。昔日，见不足者有言：

如果译经是与圣者相遇，修订
便是“面对面同他交谈”
如摩西受嘱托：一次又一次
灵中狂喜，决口心堤。

Richard Posner: How Many Constitutions Can Liberals Have?

By 爱德布克 @ 2012-10-27

Richard Posner: How Many Constitutions Can Liberals Have? (Or, A Lawyer’s Dozen)

(A book review of Akhil Amar, America’s Unwritten Constitution: The Precedents and Principles We Live By)

An excerpt from the beginning part:

Actually, despite the book’s title, it is not two in one—it is twelve in one. There is not just one unwritten constitution, in Amar’s reckoning; there are eleven of them. There is an “implicit” constitution, a “lived” constitution, a “Warrented” constitution (the reference is to Earl Warren), a “doctrinal” constitution, a “symbolic” constitution, a “feminist” constitution, a “Georgian” constitution (the reference is to George Washington), an “institutional” constitution, a “partisan” constitution (the reference is to political parties, which are not mentioned in the written Constitution), a “conscientious” constitution (which, for example, permits judges and jurors to ignore valid law), and an “unfinished” constitution that Amar is busy finishing. All these unwritten constitutions, in Amar’s view, are authoritative. And miraculously, when correctly interpreted, they all cohere, both with each other and with the written Constitution. The sum of the twelve constitutions is the Constitution.

One is tempted to say that this is preposterous, and leave it at that. But it is an attempt to respond to the felt need of professors of constitutional law, and of judges who rule on constitutional cases (particularly Supreme Court justices), to find, or at least to assert, an objective basis for constitutional decisions. On the eve of the Supreme Court’s decision on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act—a time of liberal panic—Amar was quoted as saying that if the Court invalidated the act “then yes, it’s disheartening to me, because my life was a fraud. Here I was, in my silly little office, thinking law mattered, and it really didn’t. What mattered was politics, money, party, and party loyalty.” But the constitutional “law” that matters to Amar is not what other lawyers understand law to be. It is a palimpsest of twelve constitutions, only one of which is real.

冯象：小书的朋友——《玻璃岛》Ynis Gutrin*的话

By 冯象 @ 2012-9-22

小书的故事是这样的。小书其实跟大书一样，前身也是一沓书稿，但不是手写的——从前那种绿方格子、留着宽边的稿纸，“爬格子”誊一遍，可费工夫了——小书赶上了电脑和互联网时代，稿子是打印的。邮寄当天，文档发给出版社的编辑，她就可以直接在电脑上编辑、校对了。

过了半年多，小书印出来了。封面是英国诗人罗赛蒂（1828~1882）画的绿眼睛地母女儿（Kore），一头瀑布似的卷发，手持一只血红籽粒的石榴，让人联想她从冥府归来，新春还阳、万物更生的景象。除了九篇故事，书里还有几十幅漂亮的插图。有个杭州小朋友读了，虽然不全懂，却非常喜欢小阿忒讲故事救亚瑟王那一篇。又有点疑惑：那“零隐私世界”到来，会是怎样的情形？还需要念书考试不？他见勒口有作者的电邮地址，就写了一封电邮：尊敬的冯先生，我刚看完《玻璃岛》，有很多感想，您能不能给我签个名呢？谢谢啦，不好意思打扰了！

“谢谢”一句，他原本忘了写，是找最要好的同学商量后补上的。冯先生回复说：我很想听听你的感想呢。书寄来美国太费时费钱了。这样吧，我下个月来杭州讲学，讲座安排在老杭大校园内法学楼。届时你记得带着书来，就可以签名了。

果然，讲座结束，跟学生合了影，院长说：冯兄，有两位小同学要见你。冯先生笑道：我正想找他呢，原来他是双数啊。两人过来，矮胖些的那个说：冯先生好，他是我最要好的同学，也请您签名。于是，两本书一块儿签了，还写了“好好学习天天向上”八个字。小朋友问：那么我们还要念书考试吗？冯先生答：要的。而且你读些什么，读过几遍，晚上关起门来做数学题的每一个步骤，老师和爸爸妈妈都有办法知道。到那时，人没有秘密可言。小朋友听了，吐了吐舌头，瞅着他最要好的同学；后者绷紧身子，严肃地向小书点点头。
