十九世紀後期綜合神學崩潰﹐扭曲神學的基本要素﹐令神學陷入虛無主義的危機。傳統神學無力要對歷史批判和哲學批判﹐任何神學思想也受到質疑。於是神學家嘗試找出調解的新方法﹐回答如何能夠肯定基督教思想的問題。… [...]

唯意志論和生命哲學 唯意志論是推倒黑格爾綜合系統的最後一個神學思潮。人並不是物質﹐也不是人格﹐而是意志。唯意志論最初源於聖奧古斯定的哲學﹐他認為真實就是意志﹐而意志就是愛。神的愛就是對自我意志的肯定。中世紀方濟各會的神學傳統﹐承接聖奧古斯定和柏拉圖的思想﹐為認意志先於智慧。與之相對的是道明會的神學傳統﹐承接聖多瑪仕和亞里士多德的思想﹐認為智慧先於意志。自康德(Kant)以來的神學思潮﹐均是智慧派佔上風。中世紀神學家Scotus認為神是純意志的存在﹐但在Ockham的神學則變成不理性的意志。若果神是純意志的話﹐祂可以做任何他想做的事情﹐那他就沒有各羅思(Logos)的限制。世界則變成全無規則可尋﹐人類不可能對神有任何期望﹐神甚至可以把善惡倒轉﹐把殺人變成善愛人變成是惡。… [...] My company just make a perfect demonstration on how to demoralize your employees.

Wired雜誌的老總Chris Anderson﹐在2004年寫了一篇文章﹐探討因互聯網而興起的新經濟模式﹐並把他的發現稱為長尾理論。在傳統的零售市場中﹐大部份交貿集中在熱門商品上。長尾理論則指出﹐冷門商品雖有交貿不多﹐但是不論幾冷門的東西也有人賣。正所謂山大砍埋有柴﹐冷門商品的種類繁多﹐雖然每種只能賣出少許﹐但若果把它們的收入加起來﹐卻會成為是一個很可觀的數目。事隔兩年作者把他那篇文章發揚光大﹐加入更多內容出版結集成書。不過可惜此書甚為長氣﹐大部份時間只是不斷重彈老調。… [...] We were talking about single engineers at work are having a hard timing finding girlfriends.

說來慚愧﹐信報老總練乙錚的名字﹐我這還是頭一次聽﹐他的文章當然也沒有看過。偶然在別人的網誌上﹐看見有關他文章的評論。說他讀數學出身﹐寫的文章邏輯性強﹐要很花精神才可以跟上他的論據推理。好奇心驅使下﹐便上網找他的文章看看有多難讀。散文評論找不到﹐卻找著了他的回憶錄《浮桴記》﹐憶述他在董建華年代當中央政策組顧問的事情。原文分十七篇於信報發表﹐後來附加多幾篇短文再錄輯成書。我看的網上版本應該是轉載報紙﹐不知與後來出書的版本有沒有出入。原本預期這本書會爆料式揪開很多政府內幕﹐細讀下來卻像一篇政治哲學論文﹐分析特區政府施政失敗的結構性原因。可能我自己平時習慣看學術論文的關係﹐練老總的文筆很容易讀﹐論點層次分明先後有序﹐比起其他不停打圈說話的作者﹐更能一矢中的說出問題精要所在。… [...] When I am doing something, I tends to overdose.
