2、lowing into Chinese. (35%)The 20th century- the century of metamyths and of megadeaths - spawned false notions of total control, derived from arrogant assertions of total righteousness. The religious man of pre-modem times, who accepted reality as God-ordained, had given way to the secular fanatic,

The manifest failure of that endeavor has given way in the West to the current antithesis, which is
8、essentially that of minimal control over personal and collective desires, sexual appetites, and social conduct. But inherent in the almost total rejection of any control is the notion that all values are subjective and relative.In brief, this century has seen mankind move from experimentation with t
