In the most original interpretation of Aristotle's Politics in years, Michael Davis delivers many memorable and provocative formulations of Aristotle's messages concerning the constitutive tensions of political life. He traces the uncanny parallel between politics and philosophy in Aristotle, arguing that their connection is much deeper than it is ordinarily understood to be and that, for Aristotle, understanding either requires understanding the other. Davis presents his interpretation with a striking clarity and accessibility that makes the book a pleasure to read.

This is the most important book about the nature of philosophy and of the human soul published this year. In making the condition for its own possibility its deepest concern, philosophy is necessarily about itself-it is autobiographical. The first part of The Autobiography of Philosophy interprets Heidegger's Being and Time, Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, Aristotle's Metaphysics, and Plato's Lysis as examples of the implicitly autobiographical character of philosophy. The second part is a reading of Rousseau's The Reveries of the Solitary Walker. Although Rousseau's explicitly autobiographical writings are more often read for the tantalizing details of his rather eccentric life than for their philosophical import, this work is an artful use of Rousseau's exile and isolation-"the strangest position in which a mortal could ever find himself"-as a paradigm for the human soul in its relation to the world. In powerfully articulating the activity that is at the core of all philosophy, The Reveries articulates the nature of the human soul for which this activity is the defining possibility.

《探究希腊人的灵魂》一书是美国学者迈克尔·戴维斯（Michael Davis）解读古希腊经典的文录。作者对所论文本的选择，无论是史书、诗歌还是哲学，从深层意义上看，都既是诗的也是哲学的。
全书分四个部分，分别解读亚里士多德、希罗多德、欧里庇得斯和柏拉图，加上导言解读荷马 ，全书共解读了五位古希腊经典人物的作品。
《探究希腊人的灵魂》意在表述灵魂与世界的深层连接——这一连接最终被理解为哲学；但是，过于直白地承认哲学的力量，很容易把灵魂的在世处境理想化，以至于灵魂的处境听起来只是单纯令人向往。灵魂将完全独自“在家”，但由于不再感觉到自身的问题，所以它也将不复存在。真正意义上的哲学会实现我们最深处的渴望——即哲学是最高的生活，这或许是事实；然而，一味强调哲学是最高的生活，却可能使人仅仅因为哲学的“最高”而去追求哲学，这样的追求跟构成真正哲学生活本身的追求智慧大相径庭。

Now an acclaimed documentary from Screen Media, the New York Times bestselling account of the story behind one of the most influential, durable, and beloved shows in the history of television: Sesame Street.

“Davis tracks down every Sesame anecdote and every Sesame personality in his book . . . Finally, we get to touch Big Bird's feathers.” —The New York Times Book Review

Sesame Street is the longest-running-and arguably most beloved- children's television program ever created. Today, it reaches some six million preschoolers weekly in the United States and countless others in 140 countries around the world.

Street Gang is the compelling, comical, and inspiring story of a media masterpiece and pop-culture landmark. Television reporter and columnist Michael Davis-with the complete participation of Joan Ganz Cooney, one of the show's founders-unveils the idealistic personalities, decades of social and cultural change, stories of compassion and personal sacrifice, and miraculous efforts of writers, producers, directors, and puppeteers that together transformed an empty soundstage into the most recognizable block of real estate in television history.
