[公告] 演講～倫敦政經學院教授

[Jessieoo (止痛藥是我的好朋友)]

■時間：93年09月23日（星期四）下午二時卅分
■地點：台大社會科學院第一會議室
■主講人：Dr. John Gray（英國倫敦政經學院（LSE）政府系教授）
■講題：Liberalism, Relativism and Universal Values
■講題簡介：In this lecture Prof Gray will consider the contemporary claim
            that liberal values are universal in scope and authority and
            dictate only one kind of regime as being everywhere legitimate.
            Against this claim, he will argue that liberal values express
            specific cultural traditions and can be embodied in a variety
            of different regimes--in other words, liberal universalism is
            a false doctrine. At the same time he will argue that unrestricted
            ethical relativism is also a false doctrine. There are universal
            human goods and evils, but they can and should be differently
            embodied in different historical contexts. The idea of a universal
            liberal regime should be abandoned, for legitimate regimes are
            eveywhere hybrids. Prof Gray will argue that the challenge for
            political theory is to show the diversity of regimes that can
            embody universal human values and how they can coexist in modus
            vivendi.
