The romance of the nation-state. By David Luban Philosophy and Public Affairs, Vol.9, No. 4, Summer, 1980,392-297.
The rights of security and subsistence, with which I was concerned, are necessary for the enjoyment of any other rights at all；no one can do without them. Basic rights, therefore are universal. They are no respecters of political boundaries, and require a universalist politics to implement them, even when this means breaching the wall of state sovereignity.p.392

The policy sciences redux: new roads to post-positivism. By Peter deLeon Policy Studies Journal, Vol.22, No. 1, Spring, 1994,176-184.
The policy sciences have traditionally been oriented towards a positivist epistemological perspective, with economics and many of its applied methodologies serving as the sine qua non of the approach. For a number of reasons, however, these approaches have recently been described as inadequate by themselves in understanding policy dilemmas, let alone prescribing policy remedies. p.176
推薦的小說佳句段落
「但這時候，我站在中庭一棵梧桐樹下等著，呼吸著新鮮泥土的氣味，已無睡意。我想到辦公室的同事，此時，他們正起床準備上班，對我而言，這向來是最痛苦的時刻。…我到院長辦公室去，它要我在一些文件上簽字。…他拿起電話，問我：『葬儀社的人早已到了，我現在要請他們過來封上棺蓋。在此之前您要看母親最後一面嗎？』我說不要。」
