The question excavated by the research at Stanford and other initiatives at schools ranging from Harvard to the University of Edinburgh goes to the need for a counterpoise to the colossal forces of technology and a too technical Weltanschaung (world view) of scientists and engineers - and indeed all of us - by bringing philosophy and ethics back into the dynamics of the enterprise.

(2) Equality: There must be equality between people of different faiths or basic belief; no religious outlook or (religious or areligious) Weltanschaung can enjoy a privileged position, let alone be adopted as official view of the state.

Another important element of the noblemen's Weltanschaung was serving as the bulwark of Christendom (antemurale christianitatis).

It makes conscience, like passion, one more set of human beliefs and desires--another story about how the world is, another Weltanschaung. Most important, it makes it just another story--not one that (in the case of the passions) is automatically suspect nor one that (in the case of conscience) is automatically privileged.

On the basis of documentary evidence, the article explicates the strenuous tension between faithfulness to the original and the quest for a suitably poetic style in the target language which pervaded the author's activity; it also identifies the preconceived cultural mould into which the translations were cast, both in a literary perspective through their unstated association with the Scottish tradition of ballad and ode preservation, as well as in a religious sense by virtue of the Christian Weltanschaung which permeated Legge's activity.
