In the early 1960s, around the same time as tens of thousands of refugees ran or swam from mainland China to Hong Kong, several hundred Mongols from Inner Mongolia’s Hulun Buir area rode their horses to flee to Mongolia. Although the number of people who escaped in this direction totaled only a few hundred, three levels of party-state organs in Inner Mongolia were preoccupied with finding effective countermeasures to stop the waves of flight, which nevertheless persisted into the late 1970s. This research explores this hidden chapter in the history of Maoist China and the Cold War by investigating the causes and features of the ebbs and flows of Mongol flight, the rationales for local authorities’ tremendous efforts to try to stop them, and why those efforts eventually failed.

「家」是个牵动复杂情感的词儿。 作为哲学研究，我们需要将对「家」的日常意识、历史机制、社科研究都悬置起来，澄清作为哲学概念的「家」，揭示「家」作为人类生存论结构的基本特征。 现代性何以建基在「离家」的逻辑上，「无家可归」为什么是现代人的宿命，虚无主义如何渗透进现代人的生存？ 本文基于汉语世界对于救赎的解读路径，给予现代性救赎的汉语世界方案，「归家」成为这种复归式救赎的方向。 在这方向指引下，现代西方哲学同样显露出一条基于「家」的拯救路径。 最终，我们要基于「家本体论」，揭示人类生存的「温暖」性面向。

梁启超对新道德与旧道德、道德与伦理、公德与私德的辨析，对功利主义、康德主义与中国传统伦理思想之对勘，无不折射出国家主义与世界主义、互竞主义与互助主义 、 传统主义与现代主义之间的「化合」「融合」之底色。 此清末民初之际「道德之大原」之追问是继春秋战国之际、唐宋之际而来的第三次中华文明道德探源工程。

In 1945, researchers on a mission to Hiroshima with the United States Strategic Bombing Survey canvassed survivors of the nuclear attack. This marked the beginning of global efforts – by　psychiatrists, psychologists, and other social scientists – to tackle the complex ways human minds were affected by the advent of the nuclear age. Nuclear Minds traces these efforts and the ways they were interpreted differently across communities of researchers and victims. The manuscript explores how the bomb’s psychological impact on survivors was understood before the invention/ discovery of the concept of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In fact, I argue, psychological and psychiatric research on Hiroshima and Nagasaki rarely referred to trauma or similar categories. Instead, institutional, and political constraints – most notably the psychological sciences’ entanglement with Cold War science – led researchers to concentrate on short-term damage and somatic reactions or even led, in some cases, the denial of victims’ suffering. As a result, very few doctors tried to ameliorate suffering. This does not mean the professions “failed” to diagnose PTSD (a non-existent category at the time), rather both doctors and, even more importantly, survivors, understood and experienced psychological suffering and their role in society differently. This is made clear by comparing and connecting the nuclear case with that of Holocaust, military veterans, and other victims. Thus, the book set out, first, to understand the historical, cultural, and scientific constraints in which researchers and victims were acting and, second, to explore the way suffering was understood in different cultural contexts before PTSD was a category of analysis.

文学院的学生常常被称为“文青”，大家对此有著不同看法。Linus表示，除了一般既定的“文青”印象外，中大文学院学生也十分关心身边人、事及社会动态。课馀时间积极参与各种计划和活动，应用所学到的知识，发挥影响力，推动社会更好的发展。

Linus 认为文学院师资非常国际化，教师分别来自逾20个国家及地区，把当地文化、外游经历与香港本土文化结合，为教学提供多元背景及各种独特元素，让学生从多角度思考，提升学术知识，培养人文精神及拓展国际视野。

我们提供丰富的学科选择，16个本科课程涵盖由人类学到翻译等多个学术领域，在访问中，Linus也分享了让他留下最深刻印象的课程。

欢迎各位于网上重温《大学关键词》第37集 香港中文大学 - 学术篇。

Husserl’s phenomenology seeks a full description of the life of consciousness, what he called the ‘ABC of consciousness’, an account of all the component parts of consciousness in their essential interrelation (or ‘grammar’) leading to an account of the constitution of the intersubjective world as a whole. But the primary element of consciousness is perception. Husserl developed a rich and complex ‘phenomenology of perception’. For Husserl, we are anchored to the world via perception in the widest sense. Moreover, this perception is incarnate, embodied and the world is revealed through our bodily movements as well as the apprehensions of our senses. Within the basic connection of perception – there is an implicit valorizing or ‘norming’. We have criteria for normality and within normality there is optimality. Perception is intrinsically normative. In this lecture, I will explain the relation between normality and normativity in Husserl’s phenomenology of perception and its implication for his account of world-constitution.
