As I ponder this issue, I am reminded of a debate that I had more than ten years ago in Berlin with the German theologian Hans Küng and American and Asian participants. The subject was “Globalization and Ethics” – specifically, a comparison of the ways that Europe, the United States and Asia protect the most fragile members of their respective societies.
在思考这个问题之际，我回想起十多年前在柏林同德国神学家孔汉斯（Hans Küng）的一场辩论，当时参加讨论的还有来自美国和亚洲的人士。讨论的主题是“全球化与伦理学”——具体而言，是对欧洲、美国和亚洲保护弱势社会成员的方式做一个比较。
