“미국 흑인 여성 신학자인 델로러스 윌리엄(Delores Williams)에 의하면 성경 인물 중 하갈만큼 흑인여성들의 멘토로 추앙을 받는 이가 없습니다. 하갈은 아프리카 출신 여자 노예라는 점에서 인종적 계층적으로 같은 처지인 흑인여성들의 큰 공감을 사고, 나아가 그녀가 남편도 없는 홀몸으로 험한 광야에서 아들 이스마엘을 키우며 생존을 도모한 점에 이르면 경제적 곤경과 정서적 피폐 속에 혼자 아이를 기르는 허다한 흑인 미혼모들의 눈물 어린 공감을 자아냅니다.”(박총)

1. “Kant’s Joke—Kant wanted to prove, in a way that would dumbfound the common man, that the common man was right: that was the secret joke of this soul. He wrote against the scholars in support of popular prejudice, but for scholars and not for the people.”(Friedrich Nietzsche)

2. “The ground of proof surely lies in the fact that a man gives up his personality (throws it away) when he uses himself merely as a means for the gratification of an animal drive.”(Immanuel Kant)

3. “Does that mean that all nonconsequentialists need to rethink at least some of their morald commitments? I humbly suggest that the answer is “yes”. … That is, suppose that the only reason we say that it’s wrong to abandon the drowning child but okay to ignore the needs of starving children overseas is that the former pushes our emotional buttons while the latter do not. And let us suppose further that the only reason that faraway children fail to push our emotional buttons is that we evolved in an environment in which it was impossible to interact with faraway individuals. Could we then stand by our common sense intuitions?”
