受不了好奇心的驅使，忍不住查了Habits of the Heart的作者。這老頭名叫Robert N. Bellah.
下面資訊出自Wikipedia
Bellah is best known for his work related to "American civil religion" (a term he used in a 1967 article).[1] He is also known for his 1985 book Habits of the Heart, how religion contributes to and detracts from America's common good; and as a sociologist who studies religious and moral issues and their connection to society.
Bellah received a B.A. degree from Harvard University in 1950, and a Ph.D. from Harvard in 1955. He was a student of Talcott Parsons, sociologist at Harvard. While an undergraduate at Harvard,
he was a member of the Communist Party USA and chairman of the John Reed Club, "a recognized student organization concerned with the study of Marxism."
Dean McGeorge Bundy threatened to withdraw his fellowship if he did not provide the names of his former associates.[2]
He served in various positions at Harvard from 1955 until 1967 when he moved to the University of California at Berkeley as the Ford Professor of Sociology. He spent the remainder of his career at Berkeley.
His political views are often classified as communitarian.
果然是共產黨員，是個批評社會不公義仇視有錢人的標準人士。
他的思想如此應該是源自他的恩師Talcott Parsons。於是我也查了Talcott Parsons的求學經歷。
As an undergraduate, Parsons studied biology, sociology and philosophy at Amherst College and received his B.A. in 1924. At Amherst Parsons took courses with Walton Hamilton and the philosopher Clarence Ayres, both known as "institutional economists." They submitted him to literature by Thorstein Veblen, John Dewey, Graham Sumner among others. Parsons also took a course with George Brown in the philosophy of Kant. After Amherst, he studied at the London School of Economics (LSE) for a year, where he was exposed to the work of R. H. Tawney, Bronisław Malinowski, and Leonard Trelawny Hobhouse. While studying at LSE he met a young American girl in the students common room by the name of Helen Bancroft Walker who he married on April 30, 1927. The couple had three children, Anne, Charles and Susan and eventually four grandchildren.
LSE是甚麼？LSE中文叫做倫敦政經學院，是一個由費邊社創立的惡名昭彰...不是...是譽冠全球的學府。
這一脈相傳的優良傳統果然不是開玩笑的。我也算三生有幸拜讀到這麼一部臭作
我是說...大作...
