過去兩個世紀市場經濟的實踐為地球少數的人帶來了豐富的物質生活。可是大部分的地球人卻要面對貧富不均，生態災難和氣候變化所帶來的惡果。就是富裕地區如香港，貧富的兩極化讓社會充滿怨氣，像對未來失去盼望。近年世界各地都興起「共享」運動，挑戰我們從新思考城市生活是什麼？如何可以超越私有產權的現實來實踐共享生活以致人人可以擁有豐盛的人生？讓我們從理論談起，再回到本地和世界各地的實踐中，重拾對未來城市的想像，整裝待發，建立一個具生態價值和社會公義的經濟實體，讓每一個香港人共同享用！

藝術是身體和靈魂整全與適在的處方。 藝術的作為是人在社群中以公民的身份，有責任地參與、表達、回應對身處世代的情和物。 藝術同樣鼓勵以感恩的「創造」，學懂安靜、凝視、對話、建立共處的空間。 是次講座將探討藝術在身心治療以及介入社群所扮演的關鍵角色。

When you think about the ocean and it’s many fishes, what comes into your mind? Many people would say “delicious” or “seafood”, highlighting the most predominant relationship between man and sea. Hong Kong is one of the biggest per capita consumer of seafood in the world, and we have been importing our marine resources from over 130 countries/territories around the world each year. Do you think the ocean has limitless resources for our consumption, or are our oceans on the verge of collapse? From fearsome sharks to colourful groupers, let’s talk a bit about marine conservation – the fish’s vulnerability to overfishing, Hong Kong’s role in managing global seafood stocks, and what we can do to ensure healthy oceans and abundant sea life for our next generation.

改革開放以來，基督教在中國大陸迅速發展，但因著中共視它為境外滲透工具及對政權的潛在威脅，政教關係屢屢處於緊張狀態。國內有知識分子提出要為基督教「脫敏」，紓緩政教張力，卻遙遙無期。

情感（情緒）是政治的動能所在，給政治生活帶來無限活力；但是情感又被認為是非理性的衝動，往往帶來災難性的後果。政治需要情緒，但是情緒也需要規範的指引。 我們將參照 Martha C. Nussbaum 的相關著作，說明情緒其實含有複雜的認知內容，涉及了規範性的美好生活理念，也反映著美好人生的脆弱無常。情緒有對錯可言，可以批評、修正，也可以透過環境的改善與認知的調整，培育正向的情緒，減少負面情緒的禍害。 從這樣一種情緒觀出發，政治哲學作為一種規範性的政治思考，應該正視情緒，一方面積極處理情緒之中所反映的各種重要政治議題，另一方面也根據規範性的美好生活理念，對各類情緒進行評價與改善。

This talk explores the perceived tension between Science and Passion. At its core and by definition, science strives for reason free from emotion. Yet, many biologists express affinity for the organisms they study. They first developed an interest in birds or ants or turtles and then they pursued that interest as biologists and scientists. Rather than a contradiction, it is passion that drives long-term research and fuels efforts to protect species and engage conservation efforts. Moreover, such passion inspires the public and popular environmental activism. “Science and Passion” focuses on three prominent biologists and their subjects of study: Edward O. Wilson (Ants), Archie Carr (Turtles), and Rachel Carson (Birds and the Sea). Readings Archie F. Carr, Jr. So Excellent A Fishe: A Natural History of Sea Turtles.
