白海豚、塑化劑、核廢料也能為自己「伸冤」？ 協商劇場，是一種「結合藝術展演與社會科學研究」的教學法，以角色扮演、辯論等方式呈現政治協商的「合縱連橫」，聚合來自各領域與意見相左的利害關係人，激盪出不同面向的思維與辯證；其可以廣泛地與各式各樣科技相關的社會議題相結合，和傳統教學方法相輔相成，成為一種探討與培育我們如何認識與面對科技爭議的新途徑，從中學習如何探索爭議的內涵及找到可接受的暫時安置方法，而一齣未完待續的劇場，能開啟我們共同政治願景的想像與可能性。本書收錄的五場「協商劇場」教學實驗歷程，是2020年台北雙年展《你我不住在同一星球上》之展演成果。由台灣科技與社會研究學會（Taiwan Science, Technology and Society Association）與五所大學師生們合作，將該展覽軸心拉回我們自身島嶼的經緯，針對離岸風電、核廢、助孕科技、塑化劑與減碳等社會議題開展課程，並於台北市立美術館進行公眾展演。當人類角色與非人角色，以及其他參與者走進（捲入）盤據美術館地下展場的亮橘色漩渦狀長椅，就很難再有離場的機會，而此公眾設施在美術館「劇場」內，便成為「協商」的敘事舞台。可貴之處是，這個協商過程並非為了尋求特定答案，而是尋找如何解決的方式。 ●專文推薦面對這些處境，與其感到無能為力，我們用「協商劇場」結合藝術、戲劇、表演，還有STS（Science, Technology and Society），實驗性地探討接下來的進路。——馬汀．圭納（Martin Guinard）／獨立策展人，與布魯諾•拉圖（Bruno Latour）共同擔任2020台北雙年展策展人 「協商劇場」不只是個空間或議事場，它是以美術館／視覺藝術為脈絡、攪動價值體系和社會結構的漩渦，在進入這個渦流系統之前與之後，……驚覺我們對世界知識的狹隘，反省和重新尋找我們在世界該有或可有的位置。——林平／台北市立美術館前館長暨東海大學美術系專任教授，現任臺灣美術基金會執行長 如果你在翻閱過程中，對於某些議題持著不同的立場與論點，或是覺得你更適合作為代表，那就令人放心了！協商劇場的「開放式結局」不會因為這本書而進入完結篇，真實中的各類爭議仍需要不斷的討論與修正。——林怡華／2020台北雙年展公眾計畫策展人 ●適用於各教學現場的「協商劇場」之前看過20

2022年人格與社會心理學協會圖書獎跟過去不一樣很正常嗎？黑幫頭目怎麼可能成為年輕人的榜樣？吸毒成癮者為什麼變成超跑運動員？極度害羞的少女如何變成好萊塢巨星？一直以來，我們都被告知，終此一生都會被與生俱來的性格所束縛：內向者永遠被封印在自己的外殼裡；而自戀者將永遠被困在鏡中凝視自我。但是，如果你可以利用人格的可塑性來改變自己，你會怎麼做？你會選擇變得不那麼神經質嗎？更自律？不那麼害羞？直到現在，我們普遍認為自己被天生的性格所困。本書中，作者帶領我們踏上一段激動人心的旅程，不僅探索生活中各種改變自我性格的可能性，還展示了我們可以如何有意識地塑造自己的個性，從而改變人生。我們如何扭轉初始性格，讓個性弱勢變成人際優勢，成就全新的自己？你在哪裡、做什麼和誰在一起，都會影響你當下的個性。隨著時間的推移，這些影響會累積起來，塑造你成為什麼樣的人。只是，你不必被動地接受這種事態。而改變性格最關鍵的部分就是建立新習慣，而本書的每一個單元都會建議可以從事的新活動，以及可以嘗試的心理策略，幫助塑造不同的人格特質。書中有各種測驗和互動式練習，能夠幫助你更瞭解自己性格的多樣面相、人生故事以及熱情所在。進行這些互動練習的態度越坦誠，就越有可能發現更多關於自己的事實，也越能從本書的看法中獲益。本書榮獲《BBC Science Focus》雜誌 2021年7部最佳有聲科學書籍之一《BBC Science Focus》雜誌選為2021年5月最佳科學新刊之一Next Big Idea讀書俱樂部選為2021年夏季「必讀」書籍Full Focus（前身為Michael Hyatt & Company）讀書俱樂部Leaderbooks必讀書籍閱讀紐約圖書雜誌、Psychotherapy Networker、Financial Times和Publishers Weekly上的評論：我不太喜歡生活指導和個人成長書籍。但我發現自己對克里斯蒂安∙賈勒特的《重置人生：你還是16歲時的那個自己嗎？》卻越來越有興趣。這不是隨便的推銷，也不是愚蠢的騙術，而是這本書是非常合理且有說服力的科學。這本書就像是讓人非常享受的蛋糕中有許多李子、櫻桃、葡萄和葡萄乾等充足內容，可以激發、驚喜、激勵和鼓動任何人。－－英國知名演員、作家　斯蒂芬-弗萊（Stephen John Fry）這本鼓舞人心的扎實書籍中，克里斯蒂安∙賈勒特

"Lei and the Fire Goddess blends preteen angst and beloved Hawaiian moʻolelo in a way that hasn't been done before." --Auliʻi Cravalho, actress and voice of Disney's Princess Moana Curses aren't real. At least, that's what twelve-year-old, part-Hawaiian Anna Leilani Kamaʻehu thinks when she listens to her grandmother's folktales about sacred flowers and family guardians. Anna's friends back home in Colorado don't believe in legends, either. They're more interested in science and sports--real, tangible things that stand in total contrast to Anna's family's embarrassing stories. So when Anna goes back to Hawaiʻi to visit her Tūtū, she has no interest in becoming the heir to her family's history; she's set on having a touristy, fun vacation. But when Anna accidentally insults Pele the fire goddess by destroying her lehua blossom, a giant hawk swoops in and kidnaps her best friend, and she quickly learns just how real these moʻolelo are. In order to save her friends and family, Anna must n

An examination of the Counter-Enlightenment movement in China. In Modern Chinese Counter-Enlightenment, Peng Hsiao-yen argues that a trend of Counter-Enlightenment had grown from the late Qing to the May Fourth era in the 1910s to the 1920s and continued to the 1940s. She demonstrates how Counter-Enlightenment was manifested with case studies such as Lu Xun's writings in the late 1900s, the Aesthetic Education movement from the 1910s to 1920s, and the Science and Lifeview debate in the 1920s. During the period, the life philosophy movement, highlighting the epistemic debate on affect and reason, is connected with its counterparts in Germany, France, and Japan. The movement had a widespread and long-term impact on Chinese philosophy and literature. Using the transcultural lexicon as methodology, this book traces how the German term Lebensanschauung (life view), a key concept in Rudolf Eucken's life philosophy, constituted a global tide of Counter-Enlightenment that influenced the though
