In reading The Things They Carried , by Tim O’Brien, one is likely to notice that the book’s stories of the Vietnam War often allude to the New Testament. What exactly is the author hoping to accomplish with these connections? This essay proposes that in creating characters reminiscent of Jesus, Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, O’Brien means to illustrate the power of stories to save those who are open to receiving their truth.
在阅读蒂姆·奥布莱恩(Tim O 'Brien)的《他们所携带的东西》(The Things They Carried)时，人们可能会注意到，书中有关越南战争的故事经常暗指《新约》(New Testament)。作者到底想通过这些联系达到什么目的?这篇文章提出，通过创造让人想起耶稣、马大、马利亚和拉撒路的人物，奥布莱恩想要说明故事的力量，以拯救那些愿意接受真理的人。

...five years ago (1874) a strange state of mind-torpor began at times to grow upon me. I had moments of perplexity, of a stoppage, as it were, of life, as if I did not know how I was to live, what I was to do. I began to wander, and was a victim to low spirits. This, however, passed, and I continued to live as before. Later, these periods of perplexity grew more and more frequent, and invariably took the same form. During their continuance the same questions always presented themselves to me: “Why?” and “What after?” ... I became aware that this was not a mere passing phase of mental ill-health, but that the symptoms were of the utmost importance, and that if these questions continued to recur I must find an answer to them. (Tolstoy 1901, 73)

Excerpt: "We are accustomed to anabolic athletes, medicated musicians and souped-up students. Now it appears that we can add pill-popping professors to this list (Sahakian and Morein-Zamir 2007). " Cosmetic neurology " is the term I used to describe the practice of using neurologic interventions to improve movement, mood, and mentation in healthy individuals. The specific kinds of enhancements that might be possible and the ethical concerns (safety, distributive justice, coercion, and the erosion of character) they raise are detailed elsewhere (Chatterjee 2004, 2006). Despite ethical concerns, I have argued that the practice of cosmetic neurology is likely to become widespread (Chatterjee 2007). This point is predictive, not prescriptive. It means, though, that it is likely less useful to discuss whether this practice should occur than to consider what form this practice should take. Sorting this out will prove to be quite difficult itself, because translating principle into practice runs up against the problem of conflicting reference frames that can alter one's view of the practice. These multiple reference frames determine what it means to be a good person or to construct a good society. I hope to illustrate the problem of conflicting reference frames by examining a special case, before returning to the issue that triggered this commentary— that of pill-popping professors...."
节选:“我们已经习惯了合成代谢运动员、服用药物的音乐家和精力充沛的学生。现在看来，我们可以把嗑药的教授也加到这个名单上(Sahakian and Morein-Zamir 2007)。”“美容神经学”是我用来描述使用神经系统干预来改善健康人的运动、情绪和精神状态的实践的术语。具体种类的增强可能是可能的和伦理问题(安全，分配正义，强制，和侵蚀的性格)，他们提出了详细的其他地方(Chatterjee 2004,2006)。尽管存在伦理问题，但我认为美容神经病学的实践可能会变得普遍(Chatterjee 2007)。这一点是预测性的，而不是规定性的。然而，这意味着讨论这种做法是否应该发生，可能不如考虑这种做法应该采取什么形式有用。整理这个问题本身就非常困难，因为将原则转化为实践会遇到相互冲突的参考框架的问题，这可能会改变一个人对实践的看法。这些多重参照系决定了什么是好人，什么是建设好社会。在回到引发这篇评论的问题——嗑药教授的问题....之前，我希望通过一个特殊的案例来说明相互冲突的参考系的问题。”

Although there has been a renewed interest in Aristotle’s Rhetoric during the last decade or so, very few scholars have directly addressed what might be described as the most basic or obvious question concerning the work: what sort of rhetoric does Aristotle himself employ? To rephrase this question in slightly different terms: to whom is the book addressed and what did he hope to convey or teach? This essay contends that Aristotle’s rhetorical strategy is aimed at convincing two different audiences—both practicing statesmen and potential philosophers—of the inherent limits of rhetoric as a field of study and way of life. In the former case, Aristotle wishes to set forth all of the clever rhetorical ruses aspiring statesmen may have to employ against sophistical demagogues in order to promote and sustain a decent political order as well as to remind them that they must eventually turn to the architectonic study of political science if they wish to comprehend most fully the nature of politics. In the latter case, Aristotle wants to demonstrate that although rhetoric and dialectic share striking similarities, rhetoric contains a necessarily sophistical—and therefore unsatisfying—character because of its focus on persuasion rather than instruction. In sum, the rhetoric of Aristotle’s Rhetoric is intended to make rhetoric, properly understood, a prolegomena to both political science and philosophy.
