This article focuses on the debate concerning the justification and scope of tolerating differing religious beliefs in the work of the Radical Enlightenment philosopher Pierre Bayle and discusses his potential contribution to deprovincialising Critical Theory. It firstly analyses Bayle’s project of reciprocal toleration for reconciling the tension between moral universalism and cultural particularity in Commentaire philosophique. Next, it examines Bayle’s critical analysis of the China Mission so as to argue that the principle of reciprocity can be applied to cultural/religious groups. Finally, it argues that Bayle develops the model of intercultural self-critique in the European Enlightenment to counteract the threat of being blinded by cultural provincialism. In offering an extensive discussion of Bayle’s criticism of persecution, the article highlights the need to reveal a certain epistemic humility that is manifested in processes of testing the prejudices and value commitments in a cultural or religious group.

: I dwell on the question of hope qua a critique of modernity and theology’s role in this, arguing that authentic hope cannot but include a theological horizon that is necessary for a humane and liberative social imaginary. Two insights are drawn from such: a critique of modernity is not exhausted by a historicist discourse, and an alternative reading o f Aquinas’ theology of hope may be developed via a discussion of the crisis of critical theory. I forward my argument in three parts: 1) I rehearse an account of the congeniality between modernity and religion developed by Charles Taylor; 2) I discuss the distinction between Taylor’s perspective and the historicist reading of modernity; and 3) I try to reconstruct Aquinas’ theology of hope within the framework of its reflexive unity with the two other theological virtues, faith, and charity. I use the three virtues’ grounding in grace’s radicality to counter the dominant historicist bias in interpreting both the question of hope and modernity. The whole discussion promises to be an alternative reading of modernity and Aquinas’ theology of hope , guided by the question: What different account of modernity and hope can be drawn from a re- reading of Thomas Aquinas’ theology?

: In her influential work Justice, Gender, and the Family (1989), the late feminist and political philosopher Susan Moller Okin writes that “a just future would be one without gender.” She argues that the society’s veering away from gender renders the family a practical avenue where a sense of egalitarian-humanist justice can be developed. This article revisits her work and appraises the viability of her thesis in the context of women’s diverse experiences in underserved societies. By employing the concept of intersectionality, the article reflects on how Okin’s argument could be rethought to account for the substantively layered and distinct experiences of women in marginalized communities, and how achieving gender justice should go beyond dismantling gender roles within the family. This can be done by fostering an ethos of gender justice that guides members of the society into thinking about the intersections, complexities, and dynamic processes of individual experiences, and adopting a critical gender praxis to apply meaningful ideas for the creation of viable and holistic strategies in fully addressing gender inequalities.
:已故女权主义者和政治哲学家苏珊·莫勒·奥金(Susan Moller Okin)在其颇具影响力的著作《正义、性别与家庭》(Justice,Gender,and the Family,1989)中写道,“一个没有性别的公正未来。”。本文回顾了她的工作,并在妇女在服务不足的社会中的不同经历的背景下评估了她的论文的可行性。通过使用交叉性的概念,文章反思了如何重新思考奥金的论点,以解释边缘化社区中妇女的实质性分层和独特经历,以及实现性别正义应该如何超越消除家庭中的性别角色。要做到这一点,可以培养一种性别正义的精神,引导社会成员思考个人经历的交叉点、复杂性和动态过程,并采用关键的性别实践,应用有意义的想法,制定切实可行的整体战略,全面解决性别不平等问题。
