本書把西方科哲發展區分成前孔恩、孔恩與歷史取向、後孔恩三個時期，這三個時期也標誌了議題、方法和理論重心的轉移。前孔恩時期包括邏輯經驗論和波柏的否證論。在孔恩與歷史取向時期，本書先以專章討論孔恩，隨後對準拉卡托斯和費耶阿本關於理性方法的爭論，再討論勞丹和蘭吉諾對於進步與價值的分析。後孔恩的科哲，則著重三大議題：科學實在論與反實在論的爭論、社會建構論與其燃起的「科學戰爭」大爭論、科學結構與發展的模型與演化觀。本書最後對台灣本土科哲發展的歷史作一個回顧與展望。
一本在台灣出版、以中文寫作的科哲教科書，應該反映出台灣科哲本身的發展進程，反映出台灣本地科哲學者的關懷重心和討論重點。因此，本書內容大量引用台灣科哲學者對於西方科哲家、議題、概念和理論的分析、討論、批評與解答。

与其他一些社会科学与人文专业相比，越南的民间文化研究诞生较晚，即便如此，一百多年来，越南的民间文化进程业已取得了宝贵而巨大的成就。许多学者的科学工程价值在越南民间文化研究史上立下了丰碑。我们认为，研究越南民间文化，除了研究一些规律和普遍的问题，还要研究一些具体的现象和要素。从这种理念出发，作者不论是在越南南部生活期间，还是到隶属文化通讯部的《文化艺术》杂志社和隶属文化通讯部的文化通讯研究院以及现今是隶属文化、体育和旅游部的越南文化艺术研究院工作期间，都对越南民间文化的一些现象和要素进行了研究。那些研究成果先后被发表在一些专业书籍和科学杂志以及一些国家与国际会议、研讨会上。
这次出版的关于越南民间文化研究的论集包括我曾经发表在三个论集中的18篇论文：1994年、l997年出版的《南部民间文化》和2008年教育出版社的《越南民间文化》；l999年民族文学出版社的《对越南民间文化的设想》以及发表在专业科学杂志而没有发表在那三本论集里的一些论文。

Synopsis
Brilliant and original, A Thousand Years of Good Prayers introduces a remarkable first collection of stories about China from an author set to become a major literary talent. In this extraordinary first collection, Yiyun Li brings us a modern China facing up to a complex history of repression and guilt. In Immortality, winner of the Paris Review prize, a young man bears a striking resemblance to the dictator, and so finds a strange kind of calling. In Extra, first published in the New Yorker, a Chinese woman, alone in middle age, befriends a young boy who has become an outcast in a remote country school. In their friendship, we see how love can begin to overcome the strictures that dominate their lives. In turn horrifying and breathtakingly lyrical, Yiyun Li, a new and talented young Chinese writer, confronts the silence that dominated the history of her country, and illuminates how mythology, politics, history and culture intersect with personality. She leaves us with an enduring vision of a country undergoing tremendous change.

东方主义（orientalism）这一概念，所关涉的是“西方”表述“东方”的理论和实践。这种表述，有长久的历史和其内在的逻辑结构。萨达尔此书，正是对这一历史和结构的一种梳理。在梳理东方主义的历史及其内在的逻辑结构的同时，萨达尔也梳理了晚近有关东方主义的诸多理论和批评，并讨论了东方主义在当代西方的深化和实践。
作者在文章中引用了西方思想史中俯拾即是的对于东方的诋毁和侮蔑之语，（其中包括了对于东方各种文化形态可笑而偏私的误解：对于中国、印度、伊斯兰等丑化描述）并对其进行了非常深刻和严厉的批评，并认为这些对于东方妖魔化的想像暗示了西方文明缺乏包容性和平等对待其他文化形态的信心。虽然作者引用的许多文字反映了西方人在认识东方的过程中非常荒唐、可笑，甚至是黑暗的一个侧面，其中也确实包含了许多污蔑、偏激的段落，但是，由于本书作者的观点是建立在对之进行批判的基础上，这些段落是本书的必要组成部分。所以，我们除了对于个别过于露骨、淫秽，或者反对的文字进行删改外，基本上还是保留了其原貌的，我们在阅读时一定要注意到这些部分，应该对于它们进行分析批判，对于其中将东方妖魔化的内容更应该进行批驳，这也正是本书最重要的目的。

A remarkable introduction to cultural studies as relevant today as it was in 1934, Ruth Benedict's groundbreaking study is the book that first brought the concept of "culture" to lay readers. In this fascinating work, Benedict compares the cultures of three peoples: the Kwakiutl of western Canada, the Zuni of the southwestern United States, and the Dobuans of Melanesia. Featuring an introduction by Franz Boas, a preface by Margaret Mead, and a foreword by Mary Catherine Bateson, Patterns of Culture shows the importance culture has on everyday life.

The American experience in Vietnam divided us as a nation and eroded our confidence in both the morality and the effectiveness of our foreign policy. Yet our understanding of this tragic episode remains superficial because, then and now, we have never grasped the passionate commitment with which the Vietnamese clung to and fought over their own competing visions of what Vietnam was and what it might become. To understand the war, we must understand the Vietnamese, their culture, and their ways of looking at the world. Neil L. Jamieson, after many years of living and working in Vietnam, has written the book that provides this understanding. Jamieson paints a portrait of twentieth-century Vietnam. Against the background of traditional Vietnamese culture, he takes us through the saga of modern Vietnamese history and Western involvement in the country, from the coming of the French in 1858 through the Vietnam War and its aftermath. Throughout his analysis, he allows the Vietnamese--both our friends and foes, and those who wished to be neither--to speak for themselves through poetry, fiction, essays, newspaper editorials and reports of interviews and personal experiences. By putting our old and partial perceptions into this new and broader context, Jamieson provides positive insights that may perhaps ease the lingering pain and doubt resulting from our involvement in Vietnam. As the United States and Vietnam appear poised to embark on a new phase in their relationship, Jamieson's book is particularly timely.

With the fighting in World War II over in mid-August 1945, more than one-half million American troops moved to occupy Japan. Much of the country was ruined, buried under the rubble and debris of saturation bombing and the atomic blasts over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Japan’s rulers were stunned by defeat, and its people resigned to whatever the victors might impose upon them. Aftermath of War described the American transformation of Occupied Japan to be the greatest success story of United States policy in Asian. Howard Schonberger argues that this success came at a high price. Many of the popularity supported democratic reforms promoted by Americans in the early years of the Occupation were scuttled. Asian peoples developed a fear of the new Japan as a junior partner of the United States in opposing their legitimate revolutionary aspirations. Finally Japanese exports have triggered a dangerous xenophobic reaction in the United States in recent years. Schonberger recounts the rise of the new Japan through the eyes of eight Americans centrally engaged in events of the Occupation. Aftermath of War provides insights into the recent conflicts between the U.S. and Japan and recaptures the ideological debate within the United States over the future course of Japan. It implicitly suggests that Americans and Japanese seriously reconsider the post-surrender reform agenda rejected by official American policy after 1947.

Japan has long wrestled with the memories and legacies of World War II. In the aftermath of defeat, war memory developed as an integral part of particular and divergent approaches to postwar democracy. In the last six decades, the demands placed upon postwar democracy have shifted considerably - from social protest through high economic growth to Japan's relations in Asia - and the meanings of the war shifted with them. This book unravels the political dynamics that governed the place of war memory in public life. Far from reconciling with the victims of Japanese imperialism, successive conservative administrations have left the memory of the war to representatives of special interests and citizen movements, all of whom used war memory to further their own interests.Franziska Seraphim traces the activism of five prominent civic organizations to examine the ways in which diverse organized memories have secured legitimate niches within the public sphere. The history of these domestic conflicts - over the commemoration of the war dead, the manipulation of national symbols, the teaching of history, or the articulation of relations with China and Korea - is crucial to the current discourse about apology and reconciliation in East Asia, and provides essential context for the global debate on war memory.

This book explores the political emergence of the Imperial Japanese Navy between 1868 and 1922. It fundamentally challenges the popular notion that the navy was a 'silent,' apolitical service. Politics, particularly budgetary politics, became the primary domestic focus—if not the overriding preoccupation—of Japan's admirals in the prewar period. This study convincingly demonstrates that as the Japanese polity broadened after 1890, navy leaders expanded their political activities to secure appropriations commensurate with the creation of a world-class blue-water fleet.
The navy's sophisticated political efforts included lobbying oligarchs, coercing cabinet ministers, forging alliances with political parties, occupying overseas territories, conducting well-orchestrated naval pageants, and launching spirited propaganda campaigns. These efforts succeeded: by 1921 naval expenditures equaled nearly 32 percent of the country's total budget, making Japan the world's third-largest maritime power. The navy, as this book details, made waves at sea and on shore, and in doing so significantly altered the state, society, politics, and empire in prewar Japan.

Credit for the swift unification of Japan following the 1868 overthrow of the Tokugawa shogunate is usually given to the national leaders who instigated the coup and formed the new Meiji government. But is brilliant leadership at the top sufficient to explain how regional separatist tendencies and loyalties to the old lords were overcome in the formation of a nationally unified state? On the contrary, argues James C. Baxter. Though plans were drawn up by policy makers in Tokyo, the efforts of citizens all over the country were required to implement these plans and create a sense of national identity among local populations. Drawing on extensive archival resources, Baxter describes the transformation of the Tokugawa domain of Kaga into the Meiji prefecture of Ishikawa. The result is a richly detailed study that helps explain how Japan achieved national unity without the bloody struggles that have often accompanied modernization and nation-building.

简介：
本书由六个个案研究构成，分别研究威尔士的民族服装、苏格兰的典籍再造、英国皇家仪式变迁、英国统治下印度庆典礼仪的变化、非洲民族对英国中产阶级生活方式的模仿，以及1870—1914年英、法、德三国民族节日和大众文化方面的变化。作者用翔实的材料与生动的叙述向我们揭示，传统不是古代流传下来的不变的陈迹，而是当代人活生生的创造；那些影响我们日常生活的、表面上久远的传统，其实只有很短暂的历史；我们一直处于而且不得不处于发明传统的状态中，只不过在现代，这种发明变得更加快速而已。
导读：
这是本年度我们看到的最有激发力的史学著作。
——《今日史学》
这本书的核心论点是:目前欧洲人所热衷的那些传统,至多只能追溯到十九世纪末。像苏格兰的格子呢、英国王室的浮夸等等,这些现象远没有传说的那么古老,它们只能追溯到维多利亚时代。更有趣的是,许多备受赞美的传统竟然是舶来品。
就算如此,这样一种对“传说”真理的发现又有什么意义?它会使我们不再珍视我们的传统吗?不会。传统当然不全是真理。许多传统的确含有谎言的成分,但是不断和重复会使它们变得珍贵与崇高。关键不在于它们曾经是谎言,而在于它们从谎言变为传说的过程。
