莱比锡图书奖得主经典哲学著作；20余位欧洲哲学家跨越时空的思想交锋；四个著名思想实验，一场关于世界大同的道德辩论！
为什么我们总是对远处的灾难报以极大的同情，却对身边的不幸兴趣寥寥？世界被科技手段无限缩小，也把远处的不幸拉近到每个人身边。狄德罗相信五感的界限就是道德的界限，传媒技术将我们的感知力拓展到全球，让我们对千里之外的陌生人似乎也产生了道德责任；而卢梭认为人类的情感被距离拉伸时，必然会挥发、黯淡，我们之所以如此关注远处的灾难，正是因为我们不愿意承担身边的义务。
德国知名作家、莱比锡图书奖得主汉宁·里德引用了十八世纪以来的几个著名思想实验，巴尔扎克、卢梭、伏尔泰、亚当·斯密等启蒙精英到陀思妥耶夫斯基、弗洛伊德、荣格等文学与思想巨擘跨越时空的思想交锋，掀起了一场关于世界大同的道德辩论。

作者冯友兰于1947年在美国宾夕法尼亚大学受聘担任讲座教授，讲授中国哲学史。其英文讲稿后经整理写成《中国哲学简史》，于1948年由美国麦克米兰公司出版。此书一出，立即成为西方人了解和学习中国哲学的首选入门书。其后又有法文、意大利文、西班牙文、南斯拉夫文、日文等译本出版。多年来，这部专著一直是世界各大学中国哲学的通用教材，在西方影响很大。

This is a major, wide-ranging history of analytic philosophy since 1900, told by one of the tradition's leading contemporary figures. The first volume takes the story from 1900 to mid-century. The second brings the history up to date.
As Scott Soames tells it, the story of analytic philosophy is one of great but uneven progress, with leading thinkers making important advances toward solving the tradition's core problems. Though no broad philosophical position ever achieved lasting dominance, Soames argues that two methodological developments have, over time, remade the philosophical landscape. These are (1) analytic philosophers' hard-won success in understanding, and distinguishing the notions of logical truth, a priori truth, and necessary truth, and (2) gradual acceptance of the idea that philosophical speculation must be grounded in sound prephilosophical thought. Though Soames views this history in a positive light, he also illustrates the difficulties, false starts, and disappointments endured along the way. As he engages with the work of his predecessors and contemporaries--from Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein to Donald Davidson and Saul Kripke--he seeks to highlight their accomplishments while also pinpointing their shortcomings, especially where their perspectives were limited by an incomplete grasp of matters that have now become clear.
Soames himself has been at the center of some of the tradition's most important debates, and throughout writes with exceptional ease about its often complex ideas. His gift for clear exposition makes the history as accessible to advanced undergraduates as it will be important to scholars. Despite its centrality to philosophy in the English-speaking world, the analytic tradition in philosophy has had very few synthetic histories. This will be the benchmark against which all future accounts will be measured.

巴黎，1933年……
三位朋友正坐在蒙帕纳斯大道上的煤气灯酒吧里喝着杏子鸡尾酒。其中一个叫雷蒙·阿隆的年轻哲学家，正在向同为哲学家的让-保罗·萨特和西蒙娜·德·波伏娃盛赞一种他在德国发现的新鲜哲学——现象学。“你看，”他说，“如果你是一个现象学家，你可以谈论这杯鸡尾酒，然后从中研究出哲学来！”
就这样，20世纪影响最广泛也最深远的哲学运动发端了。受到启发的萨特，将现象学与他那种法式的人文主义情感结合在一起，创立了一门全新的哲学思想——现代存在主义。
在本书中，英国著名作家莎拉·贝克韦尔将历史、传记与哲学结合在一起，以史诗般恢弘的视角，激情地讲述了一个充满了斗争、爱情、反抗与背叛的存在主义故事，深入探讨了在今天这个纷争不断、技术驱动的世界里，当我们每个人再次面对有关绝对自由、全球责任与人类真实性的问题时，曾经也受过它们困扰的存在主义者能告诉我们什么。
