伊藤和夫コミュの文法の学習・復習

みなさんご無沙汰しております。一応管理人です。
外部環境もありコミュの参加人数もやや頭打ちという感じですが、それでも多くの方々に参加いただいておりますので、せっかくですから、たまには何かしてみようということで、いかにも英文解釈に使えそうだというような短文を実際の文章から練習用にちょっと置いておこうかと思います。あくまで学習中の方向けという感じで、玄人の方には何の変哲もない文章で面白くないかもしれませんが。

This does not, however, imply that a country less dependent on importing food from abroad would necessarily be better off in terms of food consumption or nutritional levels than another which is more dependent in this respect.
Dreze, Jean and Amartya Sen, Hunger and Public Action, 166p.

The strategy of growth-mediated secrity and the strategy of support-led security are basically distinct, but they are not unconnected. It is just as important to recognize that much can be done to improve living standards even when growth has not yet led to a high level of GNP per head, as it is to see that economic growth can be used to provide the basis for raising the quality of life.
Dreze and Sen, op.cit., 186p.

In the summer of 1997, I was asked by a leading Japanese newspaper what I thought was the most important thing that had happened in the twentieth century.
Sen, Democracy as a Universal Value, 1p. in Journal of Democracy 10.3 (1999).

中級以上向けもちょっと置いておきましょうか。

And since we have little understanding of what caused the erosion of India’s economic position from 1873 to 1987, anyone who would confidently predict that economic reforms will ensure India will soon close the gap with the advanced economies forgets the lessons of its history.

Clark, Gregory and Susan Wolcott, One Polity, Many Countries: Economic Growth in India, 1873-2000, in (ed.) Dani Rodrik, In Search of Prosperity, Princeton University Press, 2003.

Because of its simple and elementary character, this form of authority has, throughout the history of political thought, served as a model for a great variety of authoritarian forms of government, so that the fact that even this prepolitical authority which ruled the relations between adults and children, teachers and pupils, is no longer secure signifies that all the old time-honored metaphors and models for authoritarian relations have lost their plausibility.
Arendt, Hannah, Between Past and Future.

Bradley's point, and Hegel's, is that because our needs and desires are shaped by society, an organic community fosters those desires that most benefit the community; moreover, it so imbues its members with the sense that their own identity consists in being a part of the community that they will no more think of going off in pursuit of their own private interests than one part of the organism that is my body, say my left arm, would think of hiving off from my shoulder to find something better to do than stuff my mouth with food. Nor should we forget that the relationship between an organism and its parts is reciprocal. I need my left arm and my left arm needs me. The organic community will no more disregard the interests of its members than I would disregard an injury to my left arm.
Singer, Peter, Hegel.
