经典与解释•亚里士多德注疏集 之一，汉语学界唯一笺注本！
《范畴篇》一直位居亚里士多德著作的首位，对该著作的研究和评注也一直占据首要位置，成为整个哲学讨论的核心问题之一。现在保持下来的古代以希腊文写作的《<范畴篇>评注》仅有珀尔菲琉斯、德克希珀斯、赫尔米亚的阿莫尼俄斯、辛普里柯俄斯、菲洛珀诺斯和厄吕姆匹俄多洛斯、厄里阿斯以及一位匿名作者。笺注者以这些早期中世纪即公元1世纪至6世纪的《范畴篇》评注为线索，对范畴篇进行全面翻译、疏解。
《范畴篇》在国内已经有几个翻译版本，但是缺乏整全详尽的注释和深入的解读。本书以晚期希腊哲学文献为依据，融会中世纪以来各个重要版本，翻译、注释了亚里士多德《范畴篇》，是汉语学界第一次在严格的一手文献基础上，以详尽的篇幅对亚里士多德的经典作品所做的完全符合西方古典学规范的注疏作品。
本书包括三个部分。第一部分是亚里士多德以及《范畴篇》研究的长篇导言，论述亚氏与漫步学派的关系，亚氏作品的发现、编辑、分类、流传以及历代评注等。第二部分是《范畴篇》的中译文。第三部分先列希腊文，然后附上中译文，最后系译者溥林详尽全面的笺释。

In this re-titled and substantially revised update of his Classical Philosophy (2003), Christopher Shields expands his coverage to include the Hellenistic era, and now offers an introduction to more than 1,000 years of ancient philosophy. From Thales and other Pre-Socratics through Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, and on to Epicureanism, Stoicism, and Scepticism, Ancient Philosophy traces the important connections between these periods and individuals without losing sight of the novelties and dynamics unique to each. The coverage of Plato and Aristotle also has been expanded. It now includes, for example, updated coverage of Plato's allegories of the cave and the divided line and the metaphor of the sun as well as features of Plato's epistemology. Shields also adds new discussion on Aristotle's theory of virtue and his approach to the Socratic problem of akrasia , or weakness of will. In terms of its structure, Ancient Philosophy is presented so that each philosophical position receives: (1) a brief introduction, (2) a sympathetic review of its principal motivations and primary supporting arguments, and (3) a short assessment, inviting readers to evaluate its plausibility. The result is a book that brings the ancient arguments to life, making the introduction truly contemporary. It will serve as both a first stop and a well visited resource for any student of the subject. Ancient Philosophy offers a vivid picture of the ideas that flourished at philosophy's long birth and considers their relevance, both to the historical development of the Western philosophical tradition, and to philosophy today.

The aim of this work is not a history of events but an account of the achievement and spirit of Greece. "Five hundred years before Christ in a little town on the far western border of the settled and civilizaed world, a strange new power was at work. . . . Athens had entered upon her brief and magnificent flowering of genius which so molded the world of mind and of spirit that our mind and spirit today are different. . . . What was then produced of art and of thought has never been surpasses and very rarely equalled, and the stamp of it is upon all the art and all the thought of the Western world."
A perennial favorite in many different editions, Edith Hamilton's best-selling The Greek Way captures the spirit and achievements of Greece in the fifth century B.C. A retired headmistress when she began her writing career in the 1930s, Hamilton immediately demonstrated a remarkable ability to bring the world of ancient Greece to life, introducing that world to the twentieth century. The New York Times called The Greek Way a "book of both cultural and critical importance."

形而上学是亚里士多德哲学中最核心也是最艰深的部分，在形而上学（Metaphysics）中，亚里士多德提出了质料、形式、实体等核心哲学观念，并对其做出了深入的探讨，进而发展出亚氏的本体论等学说。由于其所特有的理论源发性，该部分始终是国际亚氏哲学研究界的重点和难点。其中，“质料”概念与他关于变化的理论关系非常密切，可以说质料是在变化的语境中得到定义的。围绕着“质料在实体生灭中是否持存”，国际学界形成了两派意见，双方均有一流哲学家参与讨论，都举出了自己的文本依据。本书以B.Jones 和W.Charlton 已有的工作为基础，论证了“质料在实体 生灭中不持存”。作者一方面爬梳了许多古希腊文献，另一方面研读了大量现代哲学家的研究成果，包括与本书意见向左的学术论著，全面而细致地从逻辑、文献依据等方面建立起自己的论证。本书成稿后，作者给学界同仁分发阅读，得到了非常高的评价。故经本书编委会推荐认可，纳入国家出版基金项目“西方古典学研究”。

This is the first major synthesis of Greek religion to appear for a generation. A clearly structured and readable survey for classical scholars and students, it will also be generally welcomed as the best modern account of any polytheistic religious system. The text builds up an impressive and coherent picture of the current state of knowledge about the religion of the ancient Greeks.

Rich with implications for the history of sexuality, gender issues, and patterns of Hellenic literary imagining, Marcel Detienne's landmark book recasts long-standing ideas about the fertility myth of Adonis. The author challenges Sir James Frazer's thesis that the vegetation god Adonis - whose premature death was mourned by women and whose resurrection marked a joyous occasion - represented the annual cycle of growth and decay in agriculture. Using the analytic tools of structuralism, Detienne shows instead that the festivals of Adonis depict a seductive but impotent and fruitless deity - whose physical ineptitude led to his death in a boar hunt, after which his body was found in a lettuce patch. Contrasting the festivals of Adonis with the solemn ones dedicated to Demeter, the goddess of grain, he reveals the former as a parody and negation of the institution of marriage. Detienne considers the short-lived gardens that Athenian women planted in mockery for Adonis's festival, and explores the function of such vegetal matter as spices, mint, myrrh, cereal, and wet plants in religious practice and in a wide selection of myths. His inquiry exposes, among many things, attitudes toward sexual activities ranging from 'perverse' acts to marital relations.

The ancient Greeks, to whom a trained memory was of vital importance - as it was to everyone before the invention of printing - created an elaborate memory system, based on a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on the mind. Inherited and recorded by the Romans, this art of memory passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, at the Renaissance, and particularly by the strange and remarkable genius, Giordano Bruno. Such is the main theme of Frances Yates' unique and brilliant book, in the course of which she sheds light on such diverse subjects as Dante's Divine Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of ancient architecture. Aside from its intrinsic fascination, The Art of Memory is an invaluable contribution to aesthetics and psychology, and to the history of philosophy, of science and of literature.

'This brief, readable, and important book is richly informed in folklore and modern scholarship, much of both unfamiliar to classicists. From the Greek evidence itself, whether the known like Homer or the more obscure like Artemidorus, many new and convincing insights are gleaned.'Choice

The author explores the life, culture and history of classical Greece.

»Snells Hauptwerk Die Entdeckung des Geistes war 1946 wichtig für die Neuorientierung der Nachkriegsgeneration«, befand DIE ZEIT zu Bruno Snells 90. Geburtstag 1986. Seine in diesem Buch zusammengestellten und immer wieder erweiterten »Studien zur Entstehung des europäischen Geistes bei den Griechen« sind seither in alle Weltsprachen übersetzt worden. Sie haben auch sechzig Jahre nach ihrer Erstveröffentlichung nichts von ihrer Inspiration verloren. Für seinen Schüler Walter Jens ist Die Entdeckung des Geistes »das Buch eines Gräzisten, der ein vorzüglicher Schriftsteller ist«. Die hier vorliegende 9. Auflage ist gegenüber der 8. Auflage unverändert.

'The revolution that is going on in me is that which has taken place in every artist who has studied Nature long and diligently and now seeks the remains of the great spirit of antiquity; his soul wells up, he feels a transfiguration of himself from within, a feeling of freer life, higher existence, lightness and grace.' It is Mr Trevelyan's purpose, in this profoundly interesting book, to trace the course of this development in Goethe, to determine its extent, to test its sincerity. To this task he brings, not only a complete knowledge of Goethe's life and works and of classical literature, but also a fine critical sense which enables him to direct his detailed knowledge towards a philosophical conclusion.' So wrote Herbert Read in The Spectator in December 1941 on the first publication of Goethe and the Greeks. Trevalyan's account of Goethe's fascination with the Greeks, his striving to master their culture, his vision of Hellenic man, is judged not to have been supplanted by any later work in English. Professor Lloyd-Jones has written a substantial Foreword for this reissue of Trevelyan's book, giving his own assessment of Goethe's search for Hellenism and its influence on his work.

Taken from "The Common Reader," these essays take the form of a series of reflections on diverse literary topics, brought to life by Woolf's extensive knowledge, lively wit, and piercing insight. "For it is vain and foolish to talk of knowing Greek, since in our ignorance we should be at the bottom of any class of schoolboys, since we do not know how the words sounded, or where precisely we ought to laugh, or how the actors acted, and between this foreign people and ourselves there is not only difference of race and tongue but a tremendous breach of tradition."

"Edward Schiappa’s cogent and eloquent book fully deserves the praise it has received." -- Rhetoric Society Quarterly
Protagoras and Logos brings together in a meaningful synthesis the contributions and rhetoric of the first and most famous of the Older Sophists, Protagoras of Abdera. Most accounts of Protagoras rely on the somewhat hostile reports of Plato and Aristotle. By focusing on Protagoras’s own surviving words, this study corrects many long-standing misinterpretations and presents significant facts: Protagoras was a first-rate philosophical thinker who positively influenced the theories of Plato and Aristotle, and Protagoras pioneered the study of language and was the first theorist of rhetoric. In addition to illustrating valuable methods of translating and reading fifth-century B.C.E. Greek passages, the book marshals evidence for the important philological conclusion that the Greek word translated as rhetoric was a coinage by Plato in the early fourth century.
In this second edition, Edward Schiappa reassesses the philosophical and pedagogical contributions of Protagoras. Schiappa argues that traditional accounts of Protagoras are hampered by mistaken assumptions about the Sophists and the teaching of the art of rhetoric in the fifth century. He shows that, contrary to tradition, the so-called Older Sophists investigated and taught the skills of logos, which is closer to modern conceptions of critical reasoning than of persuasive oratory. Schiappa also offers interpretations for each of Protagoras’s major surviving fragments and examines Protagoras’s contributions to the theory and practice of Greek education, politics, and philosophy. In a new afterword Schiappa addresses historiographical issues that have occupied scholars in rhetorical studies over the past ten years, and throughout the study he provides references to scholarship from the last decade that has refined his views on Protagoras and other Sophists.

This book offers an introduction to the Sophists of fifth-century Athens and a new overall interpretation of their thought. Since Plato first animadverted on their activities, the Sophists have commonly been presented as little better than intellectual mountebanks - a picture which Professor Kerferd forcefully challenges here. Interpreting the evidence with care, he shows them to have been part of an exciting and historically crucial intellectual movement. At the centre of their teaching was a form of relativism, most famously expressed by Protagoras as 'Man is the measure of all things', and which they developed in a wide range of views - on knowledge and argument, virtue, government, society, and the gods. On all these subjects the Sophists did far more than simply provoke Plato to thought. Their contributions were substantial and serious; they inaugurated the debate on many central philosophical questions and decisively shifted the focus of philosophical attention from the cosmos to man.
