犹太人是两千年前被迫流亡的那个民族的后裔吗？《圣经》如何且为什么会变成记录民族起源的的历史书籍？《虚构的犹太民族》拆解了萦绕在犹太民族和以色列历史上的神话和禁忌，提供了一种全新的视角和关于以色列形成的叙事。以色列著名历史学家施罗默·桑德认为，大多数犹太人的故土遍布中东和东欧，这些分散的不同群体能形成一个犹太民族，进而成为一个犹太国家，只可能在一种新编纂的历史下发生，而其背景是整个欧洲的民族主义的崛起和发展。作者颇具胆量地运用现代民族主义的理论澄清了古老的神话。他特立独行的工作，为了解中东现状和解决争端提供了新的可能性。

《命运交叉的城堡》是一部由图画和文字组合的小说。卡尔维诺选择塔罗纸牌，来构建小说的叙事结构。塔罗纸牌是十五世纪起风行意大利和欧洲的一种纸牌，可供四个人游戏，也可用于占卜。
在中世纪某个不确定的年代，在森林中的一座孤独的城堡里，许多过往旅人前来投宿。这些旅人聚在一起，他们素不相识，都失去了说话的能力，塔罗纸牌成为他们之间进行交流的一种手段。他们按照每张纸牌上的图画，讲述各自的冒险经历。这些贵族、贵妇人、骑士、农民、工匠、马夫，等等,讲述了形形色色的故事，其中既有关于爱情、死亡、冒险、恐怖的故事，又有被出卖的国王、受伤害的少女等趣闻轶事。他们的命运遭际在这里交叉、联结，城堡便具有了一重象征的意义：“命运交叉的城堡”。
《命运交叉的城堡》最先于一九六九年以豪华版刊印，仅在少数人中间传阅，一九七三年改由埃依纳乌迪出版社推出大众版，得以广泛流行，风靡一时。

《灵验·磕头·传说:民众信仰的阴面与阳面》主要内容简介：范庄龙牌会究竟是一个怎样的乡村庙会？它承载、表达着怎样的民众信仰？言说着华北腹地乡民怎样的心性、习惯，世界观或者说文化观念，它是怎样适应着当下的社会，并日渐兴旺，直至成为“非物质文化遗产”大潮中的弄潮儿？……繁杂的中国民众信仰，以神神、香烛纸炮、磕头、看香、许愿还愿和行好为表征，以灵验为核心，这些长期被定性为负面的、阴性的和消极的传统与当下的新农村建设、和谐的乡村发展是否存在良性互动的可能？当政者、智识精英究竟应该有一种怎样的理性的态度？是要高高在上的、貌似亲民为民着想的“眼睛向下看”，还是要首先真正地尊重并平心静气地了解这些风俗习惯的“平视”？这些都是《灵验·磕头·传说:民众信仰的阴面与阳面》关注并试图回答的问题。

This study focuses on the politics of memory in the village of Dachuan in northwest China, in which 85 percent of the villagers are sur named Kong and believe themselves to be descendants of Confucius. It recounts both how this proud community was subjected to intense suffering during the Maoist era, culminating in its forcible resettlement in December 1960 to make way for the construction of a major hydroelectric dam, and how the village eventually sought recovery through the commemoration of that suffering and the revival of a redefined religion.
Before 1949, the Kongs had dominated their area because of their political influence, wealth, and, above all, their identification with Confucius, whose precepts underlay so much of the Chinese ethical and political tradition. After the Communists came to power in 1949, these people, as a literal embodiment of the Confucian heritage, became prime targets for Maoist political campaigns attacking the traditional order, from land reform to the “Criticize Confucius” movement. Many villagers were arrested, three were beheaded, and others died in labor camps. When the villagers were forced to hastily abandon their homes and the village temple, they had time to disinter only the bones of their closest family members; the tombs of earlier generations were destroyed by construction workers for the dam.

Review
"One of the best local ethnographies to date on post-reform China. . . . Conceptually sophisticated yet undiminished by unnecessary jargon, the book provides one of the most readable and intelligently framed accounts of change and continuity at the local level in China." —Journal of Asian Studies
"Anthropologists and historians will find themselves rewarded by this nuanced examination of social memory, ritual life, and the traumatic recent history of a remarkable village."—China Review International
"This gem of a book takes the study of Chinese village culture to new levels of theoretical sophistication, ethnographic nuance and literary evocativeness. . . . There are many fine books that tell similar stories of the devastation of rural communities during the Maoist era. Dachuan is different only in that the depth of its tragedy was several degrees worse than most. But what makes Jun Jing's book unique is his discovery of a way to probe the meaning of such a history for the villagers."—China Quarterly
"All audiences can enjoy the universal subjects of the book—children and food. . . . Feeding China's Little Emperor's is useful both for anthropologists or those looking at social change over the last few decades."—The China Business Review
"In 1961 the entire village of Dachuan was destroyed when it was submerged under a reservoir created by a newly constructed hydroelectric dam. . . . In Jun Jing's beautifully written account, The Temple of Memories, he reveals how the villagers tra

How can we order the world while accepting its enduring ambiguities? Rethinking Pluralism suggests a new approach to the problem of ambiguity and social order, which goes beyond the default modern position of 'notation' (resort to rules and categories to disambiguate). The book argues that alternative, more particularistic modes of dealing with ambiguity through ritual and shared experience better attune to contemporary problems of living with difference. It retrieves key aspects of earlier discussions of ambiguity evident in rabbinic commentaries, Chinese texts, and Greek philosophical and dramatic works, and applies those texts to modern problems. The book is a work of recuperation that challenges contemporary constructions of tradition and modernity. In this, it draws on the tradition of pragmatism in American philosophy, especially John Dewey's injunctions to heed the particular, the contingent and experienced as opposed to the abstract, general and disembodied. Only in this way can new forms of empathy emerge congruent with the deeply plural nature of our present experience. While we cannot avoid the ambiguities inherent to the categories through which we construct our world, the book urges us to reconceptualize the ways in which we think about boundaries - not just the solid line of notation, but also the permeable membrane of ritualization and the fractal complexity of shared experience.

The first study in English to offer a systematic introduction to the Chinese pantheon of divinities. It challenges received wisdom about Chinese popular religion, which, until now, presented all Chinese deities as mere functionaries and bureaucrats. The essays in this volume eloquently document the existence of other metaphors that allowed Chinese gods to challenge the traditional power structures and traditional mores of Chinese society. The authors draw on a variety of disciplines and methodologies to throw light on various aspects of the Chinese supernatural. The gallery of gods and goddesses surveyed demonstrates that these deities did not reflect China's socio-political order but rather expressed and negotiated tensions within it. In addition to reflecting the existing order, Chinese gods shaped it, transformed it, and compensated for it, and, as such, their work offers fresh perspectives on the relations between divinity and society in China.

小说主要叙述了一个红极一时的家庭问题女评论家八杉恭子的故事。她为了掩盖自己早年和一个黑人同居的经历，并保住自己和丈夫的显赫地位及名誉，竟亲手刺死了自己的混血儿子，又谋害知情以图灭口。就是这样一个杀人犯，竟以“家庭教育问题权威”自居，道貌岸然地在电视台上招摇撞骗。更具有讽刺意义的是，这个杀人犯为了沽名钓誉，不惜以儿子恭平为工具，大演什么“母子通信”、“模范母子”的双簧戏，但实际上这个恭平却是一个地地道道的阿飞流氓，他们母子间背地里完全是一种尔虞我诈的互相利用关系，其结果终于导致恭平走上了犯罪的道路。

本书是辜式的所有著作中，最有影响，较能反映他思想风貌的作品。书的主旨是揭示中国人的精神生活，宣扬中国传统文化的价值，鼓吹儒家文明救西论。它是一战前后世界范围内兴起的东方文化思潮的代表作之一。本书从文化思想史的角度看，对于中国精神生活的“揭示”，关于中国文化道德精神价值的阐述，都很有意义。

Book Description
While ancient Greek thought is widely acknowledged as the major source of political ideals such as freedom and equality, ancient Greek practices including slavery, the subordination of women, and imperialism have been condemned as undemocratic and immoral. So is ancient Greek political thought still relevant today? In this provocative and wide-ranging history, Ryan Balot shows what ancient Greek political texts might mean to citizens of the twenty-first century.Balot centers his discussion on Plato and Aristotle, the great political philosophers, but also considers an array of poetic, historical, and philosophical texts in an effort to locate ancient Greek political thought in its cultural context. His account shows both how the political thought of Greece developed over time and how the characteristic Greek interest in political virtue can still shape our thinking about politics today.
Review
"Balot has provided students with a carefully cleared path through several centuries of thought about Greek politics." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Balot's historical and narrative approach has the huge merit of combining ancient context and modern relevance. Balot eavesdrops on Plato, Aristotle and their forerunners and successors to bring us the hot political news. His lively brand of 'virtue politics' should instruct the advanced undergraduate and graduate student audience at which it is aimed, as well as refresh the parts of the established academy that drier scholarship cannot reach. Written in an easy and attractive style, Greek Political Thought promises to stimulate a vivacious dialogue between ancient and modern political concerns." --Paul Cartledge, University of Cambridge
"This is a remarkable book, a work of exceptional erudition and insight. It supplies a much needed survey of Greek political thought, but it is considerably more than an accessible and trustworthy guide to the territory. Balot presents himself not as an antiquarian chronicler but as an active interpreter, setting out the debates among the texts of the Greek tradition as new resources for thinking about the ethics and politics of our own time. Often controversial, but always scrupulous, Greek Political Thought will be of great value to serious students at every level." --Stephen Salkever, Bryn Mawr College

Taking the form of a discussion between the hedonist Philebus, his naive disciple, Protarchus and Socrates, "Philebus" is a compelling consideration of the popular belief that pleasure is the greatest attainable good. Here, Socrates speculates on the differing intensities of both pleasure and pain; explores the notion that they can be divided into pure and impure types; considers the relationship between the one and the many; and establishes knowledge as a far higher goal. A profound argument that true fulfillment can only be achieved by the pursuit of beauty, truth and moderation, "Philebus" is among the earliest and most fascinating explorations of one of the most fundamental human questions: how to lead a good life.

赫碧无法理解丈夫在儿子死后没有掉过一滴眼泪，却落下收集雨水的怪癖。她同情他，但开始怀疑他们这段感情是不是就此完结。她决定离开。
本书故事发生地点：
A 伦敦塔的动物园
早在13世纪早期，伦敦塔里就有动物园。重建伦敦塔动物园的重要原因，源于一只名叫国良的金丝猴。2005年，中国元首曾送给女王一只珍贵的金丝猴——国良，那时所有送给女王的动物，除了马匹，都被放在伦敦动物园。因国良这名字的意思是“让这个国家吉祥”，国良的意外离世还引起了一场不可思议的外交争端，因为中国人认为国良是被养在白金汉宫的。

当罹患癌症，只剩一年可活的心理治疗师朱利斯，见到多年没联络的老病人菲利普时，心里大吃一惊。二十三年前，菲利普有严重的性上瘾症，每天沉溺於猎艳行动，直到呕吐为止。而今，菲利普依然傲慢冷酷、目中无人，却取得「哲学谘商师」执照，全心推崇叔本华的悲观主义，认为它可以解答一切困惑。
