The Oxford Illustrated History of Western Philosophy 豆瓣
作者: Anthony Kenny Oxford University Press 2001 - 6
This is a uniquely authoritative history of philosophy for the general reader. Written by a team of distinguished scholars, it tells the story of Western philosophy from its ancient beginnings to the present day, emphasizing the intellectual context of its development. Philosophy has played a central part in the history of Western civilization. This volume offers a detailed account of the lives and works of all the major thinkers through the ages, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, Locke, Hume, Kant, Hegel, and recent figures such as Russell, Sartre, and Wittgenstein. Key concepts, doctrines, and schools of thought from both the Anglo-American and Continental traditions are explored in a distinctive and accessible way. Personalities and ideas are brought to life as the book captures the richness and vitality of philosophy across a wide range of cultures and times. The contributors are all experts in their fields and each makes a sharply individualistic contribution. They write with awareness of the latest scholarship and present their material in a lively and intelligible way.

What Should We Do with Our Brain? 豆瓣
作者: Catherine Malabou 译者: Sebastian Rand Fordham University Press 2008 - 10
Recent neuroscience, in replacing the old model of the brain as a single centralized source of control, has emphasized plasticity,the quality by which our brains develop and change throughout the course of our lives. Our brains exist as historical products, developing in interaction with themselves and with their surroundings.Hence there is a thin line between the organization of the nervous system and the political and social organization that both conditions and is conditioned by human experience. Looking carefully at contemporary neuroscience, it is hard not to notice that the new way of talking about the brain mirrors the management discourse of the neo-liberal capitalist world in which we now live, with its talk of decentralization, networks, and flexibility. Consciously or unconsciously, science cannot but echo the world in which it takes place.In the neo-liberal world, plasticitycan be equated with flexibility-a term that has become a buzzword in economics and management theory. The plastic brain would thus represent just another style of power, which, although less centralized, is still a means of control. In this book, Catherine Malabou develops a second, more radical meaning for plasticity. Not only does plasticity allow our brains to adapt to existing circumstances, it opens a margin of freedom to intervene, to change those very circumstances. Such an understanding opens up a newly transformative aspect of the neurosciences.In insisting on this proximity between the neurosciences and the social sciences, Malabou applies to the brain Marx's well-known phrase about history: people make their own brains, but they do not know it. This book is a summons to such knowledge.
歌德谈话录 豆瓣
Gespräche mit Goethe
9.0 (8 个评分) 作者: 爱克曼 辑录 译者: 朱光潜 人民文学出版社 1978 - 9
记载这个“圣人”谈话的书也就成了“圣书。”学术界更是将《歌德谈话录》看做研究歌德的秘读书目;有些专家甚至把这《歌德谈话录》当做歌德自己的作品。另外,许多学者对书中记述的还必须景和谈话一点也不怀疑会有失真的地方,绝对相信它们的可靠性。从十九世纪末到二十世纪,绝大多数学者都把爱史曼的《歌德谈话录》看做是客地、忠实地记载了歌德的谈话,是一份绝对可靠的第一手文献。

作者: 威廉·巴雷特 译者: 杨照明 商务印书馆 1995 - 2
《非理性的人》是一部研究存在主义的专著,在西方有很大的影响,长期以来被英语国家的许多大学作为学习、研究存在主义的课本。本书追溯了存在主义的古代思想中的渊源,分析了存在主义在艺术中的表现以及在中世纪和十九世纪的浪漫主义运动中的反映。书中对克尔凯廓尔、尼采、海德格尔和萨特四个存在主义主要人物进行了专题研究。最后,作者从哲学上论述了存在主义作为一种与理性主义对立的学说和揭示现代社会问题的社会思潮,它的出
美的历程 豆瓣
8.8 (33 个评分) 作者: 李泽厚 天津社会科学院出版社 2001 - 3
《美的历程》从宏观鸟瞰角度对中国数千年的艺术、文学作了概括描述和美学把握。其中提出了诸如原始远古艺术的“龙飞凤舞”殷周青铜器艺术的“拧厉的美”,先秦理性精神的“儒道互补”,楚辞、汉赋、汉画像石之“浪漫主义”,“人的觉醒”的魏晋风度,六朝、唐、宋佛像雕塑,宋元山水绘画以及诗、词、曲各具审美三品类,明清时期小说、戏曲由浪漫而感伤而现实之变迁等等重要观念,多发前人之所未发。此书于1981年初版,多次再版重印达几十万册。已有英文、德文、韩文等多种译本问世。

红书(彩图版) 豆瓣
Liber Novus
作者: (瑞士)荣格(JungC. G. ) 译者: 林子钧 / 张涛 中央编译出版社 2013
《红书》拉丁文书名为《新书》(Liber Novus)。约创作于1914年到1930年间,记录了作者个人的梦境、灵魔与精神追寻历程。荣格生前拒绝出版,直到其去世后近五十年,此书方得见天日。
1913年,荣格与弗洛伊德决裂,开始发展自己的理论体系,一度备受幻觉折磨而濒于崩溃。荣格身陷中年危机,重新审视生活,从内心探索最深处的自我。他将一些梦和幻象记录下来,整理成《黑书》,同时着手幻象内容的写作,形成私密之作《红书》。《红书》是荣格日后写作的主要灵感,由此生发出一整套的分析心理学理论。此书的出版为我们开启了一扇理解荣格著作的窗口。
荣格曾于1957年谈到这本书:“我跟你谈到过那段岁月,追寻内心图像的那些年是我此生最重要的时光。其他一切皆发源于此。这本书就始于那时,在那之后的枝枝节节几乎无关紧要。我的一生都在阐释那些意象,它们从潜意识中迸发,像一条深不可测的河流,在我的内心泛滥,几乎要毁灭我。这些已超出我的一生所能承载。后来只是一些外在的现象、科学的阐述与生活的融合,而包孕一切的神奇开端就在那时候。”
中文版卷一、卷二根据德文版翻译,审视与附录根据英文版整理翻译。彩图版图文并茂,全彩印刷,完整呈现原作风貌。
Philosophy of Existence 豆瓣
作者: Karl Jaspers 译者: Richard F. Grabau University of Pennsylvania Press 1971 - 1
Philosophy of Existence was first presented to the public as a series of lectures invited by The German Academy of Frankfurt. In preparing these lectures Jaspers, whom the Nazis had already dismissed from his professorship at Heidelberg, knew that he was speaking in Germany for the last time. Jaspers used the occasion to offer an account of the cultural and intellectual situation from which existentialism emerged as well as a summary of his own philosophy. The book serves three purposes today: it brings the many strands of the existential movement into focus; it provides an overview of Jaspers's own philosophical position; and it demonstrates by example that philosophy need not be irrational, antiscientific, journalistic, or homiletic in order to be existential and engage. In this short book Jaspers provides a corrective for the popular view of existentialism as a pessimistic, irrationalist philosophy. He maintains that it is, rather part of mainstream of Western philosophy-the form that philosophy has taken in our day.
The Wisdom of Insecurity 豆瓣
作者: Alan W. Watts Vintage 2011 - 2
“Anyone whose life needs a course correction would be fortunate to be guided by The Wisdom of Insecurity . My life still is, some thirty years later." —Deepak Chopra, from the Introduction
Alan W. Watts’s “message for an age of anxiety” is as powerful today as it waswhen this modern classic was first published.
We spend too much time trying to anticipate and plan for the future; too much time lamenting the past. We often miss the pleasures of the moment in our anxious efforts to ensure the next moment is as enjoyable. Drawing from Eastern philosophy and religion, Watts argues that it is only by acknowledging what we do not and cannot know, that we can find something truly worth knowing. In order to lead a fulfilling life, one must embrace the present—live fully in the now.
Elegantly reasoned and lucidly written, this philosophical achievement contains all the wisdom and spirit that distinguished Watts’s long career and resonates with us still.

蛮好的大众哲学读物,比较适合西方读者及西方文明影响到的更广大的人群。在广义基督教的框架内,以现象学分析为方法,抵达了与东方智慧/禅宗相同的结论。因基本未涉哲学或宗教方面的名词,文字相当浅显易读。总结一下的话,不安全感是种现代病,消除不安全感的办法,在于去掉“我执”,认识到除了此时此刻,我们并不拥有其他。这个自我意识里的“我”与我们经验到的感受是同一的。对觉得佛经义理艰深的读者,先看看这本也不错。

Man in the Modern Age
9.0 (23 个评分) 作者: [德] 卡尔·雅斯贝斯 译者: 王德峰 上海译文出版社 2013 - 4
本书“高屋建瓴地回顾了西方人‘时代意识’的起源,分析了资产阶级革命的精神原则,讨论了科技进步的文化前提及其对社会形态变迁的作用,讨论了民主政治与贵族理想之间的对立。全书以实存哲学式的反思作底线,描画了与西方社会现代化进程相伴随的精神文化的巨大震撼以及这种震撼留给当代西方人的困境。凡此种种,均探及西方文化的精神传统与现代性之间的内在联系和内在冲突。”
“该书虽然写于1930年,但是它对西方人在当代的精神状况及其所由形成的历史根源与广阔的现实社会生活背景所作的深刻而又生动入微的演述,至今仍未过时。”
“全书以实存哲学式的反思作底线,描画了与西方社会化现代化进程相伴随的精神文化的巨大震撼以及这种震撼留给当代西方人的困境。这一切虽然谈的都是西方人的‘家务事’,但是,对于正处在现代化进程中的中国人来说,却是不可不拿来研究一番的。”
自杀与美好生活 豆瓣
8.8 (5 个评分) 作者: 吴飞 上海三联书店 2007 - 1
本书为“思想与社会研究系列”之一,对自杀行为作了深入的研究。全书共分古典德性的极限追求、上帝面前的神性和罪性、现代自杀问题的诞生等三个部分。本书内容丰富,分析透彻,具有很高的学术价值。  这本书并不是一本严格的历史或思想史的梳理。近些年来,对西方自杀历史的研究已经相当丰富。本书所要达到的目的,并不是将欧美学界的这些成果介绍到中国来,也不是全面勾画出自杀思考的哲学史。就本书叙述的时段而言,很多惊心动魂的讨论还根本没有开场。本书所触及的时段,有很多自杀问题相关的人与事,作者也并未谈及。这本书所要做的,是选取古典、中世纪、英国现代早期这三个时段,看其中的人们对同一个问题的不同思考和处理方式,由此勾勒出他们对待美好生活、人性善恶,以及政治建构的相互勾连但又非常不同的思想脉络。
自杀作为中国问题 豆瓣
7.1 (21 个评分) 作者: 吴飞 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2007 - 11
2002年,中国的高自杀率向全世界披露,从此自杀成为一个被广泛关注的社会问题,本书意在透视自杀问题,以反思中国文化中的生命观以及当代中国的文化处境。作者通过梳理西方自杀思想的传统,理解当代自杀学背后的文化假设;要理解中国的自杀问题,不能靠搬用那些自杀学理论,而要寻找中国文化中的相应观念。要解决自杀问题,也不能仅仅铆在自杀这一个现象上,而要通过它来反观更重要的思想文化问题。由此,我们可以理解现代中国的处境和问题,并慢慢找到应对现代性的中国方式。
2013年7月5日 已读
简明易读,讨论的问题却相当深刻和严肃。作者从社会学和精神心理学两个脉络大致梳理了现代自杀学,并认为西方理论无法应用至中国农村妇女自杀率高的现实。但也没有简单地得出女权低下的结论,而是落脚点在政治生活(及其相关礼教、政治结构如乡约等)在乡土生活中的消失与哲学意义上的“人心”的变化这两个根源,而这两点恰恰是现代性的特点。这本书具有相当的社会意义,值得有相关兴趣的人一读。

Discipline & Punish 豆瓣 Goodreads
Surveiller et punir
9.4 (10 个评分) 作者: Michel Foucault 译者: Alan Sheridan Vintage Books 1995 - 4
In this brilliant work, the most influential philosopher since Sartre suggests that such vaunted reforms as the abolition of torture and the emergence of the modern penitentiary have merely shifted the focus of punishment from the prisoner's body to his soul.
Madness and Civilization 豆瓣
作者: Michel Foucault 译者: Richard Howard Vintage 1988 - 11
This was Michel Foucault's first major book, written while he was the Director of the Maison de France in Sweden. It examines ideas, practices, institutions, art and literature relating to madness in Western history.
Foucault begins his history in the Middle Ages, noting the social and physical exclusion of lepers. He argues that with the gradual disappearance of leprosy, madness came to occupy this excluded position. The ship of fools in the 15th century is a literary version of one such exclusionary practice, the practice of sending mad people away in ships. However, during the Renaissance, madness was regarded as an all-abundant phenomena because humans could not come close to the Reason of God. As Cervantes' Don Quixote, all humans are ridiculous weak to desires and dissimulation. Therefore, the insane, understood as one who has come too close to God's Reason, was accepted in the middle of society. It is not before the 17th century, in a movement which Foucault famously describes as the Great Confinement, that "unreasonable" members of the population systematically were locked away and institutionalised. In the 18th century, madness came to be seen as the obverse of Reason, that is, as having lost what made them human and become animal-like and therefore treated as such. It is not before 19th century that madness became mental illness that should be cured, e.g. Freud. Later it was demonstrated that the large increase in confinement did not happen in 17th but in the 19th century, somewhat undermining his argument.
Foucault also argues that madness during Renaissance had the power to signify the limits of social order and to point to a deeper truth. This was silenced by the Reason of Enlightenment. He also examines the rise of modern scientific and "humanitarian" treatments of the insane, notably at the hands of Philippe Pinel and Samuel Tuke. He claims that these modern treatments were in fact no less controlling than previous methods. Tuke's country retreat for the mad consisted of punishing the madmen until they gave up their commitment to madness. Similarly, Pinel's treatment of the mad amounted to an extended aversion therapy, including such treatments as freezing showers and use of a straitjacket. In Foucault's view, this treatment amounted to repeated brutality until the pattern of judgment and punishment was internalized by the patient.
The Portable Nietzsche 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Friedrich Nietzsche / Walter Kaufmann 译者: Walter Kaufmann Penguin (Non-Classics) 1994 - 1
The works of Friedrich Nietzsche have fascinated readers around the world ever since the publication of his first book more than a hundred years ago. As Walter Kaufmann, one of the world's leading authorities on Nietzsche, notes in his introduction, 'Few writers in any age were so full of ideas', and few writers have been so consistently misinterpreted. The "Portable Nietzsche" includes Kaufmann's definitive translations of the complete and unabridged texts of Nietzsche's four major works: "Twilight of the Idols", "The Antichrist", "Nietzsche Contra Wagner" and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra". In addition, Kaufmann brings together selections from his other books, notes, and letters, to give a full picture of Nietzsche's development, versatility, and inexhaustibility. 'In this volume, one may very conveniently have a rich review of one of the most sensitive, passionate, and misunderstood writers in Western, or any, literature' - "Newsweek".
Power/Knowledge 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Michel Foucault 译者: Colin Gordon / Leo Marshall Vintage 1980 - 11
Michel Foucault has become famous for a series of books that have permanently altered our understanding of many institutions of Western society. He analyzed mental institutions in the remarkable Madness and Civilization; hospitals in The Birth of the Clinic; prisons in Discipline and Punish; and schools and families in The History of Sexuality. But the general reader as well as the specialist is apt to miss the consistent purposes that lay behind these difficult individual studies, thus losing sight of the broad social vision and political aims that unified them.
.
Now, in this superb set of essays and interviews, Foucault has provided a much-needed guide to Foucault. These pieces, ranging over the entire spectrum of his concerns, enabled Foucault, in his most intimate and accessible voice, to interpret the conclusions of his research in each area and to demonstrate the contribution of each to the magnificent -- and terrifying -- portrait of society that he was patiently compiling.
.
For, as Foucault shows, what he was always describing was the nature of power in society; not the conventional treatment of power that concentrates on powerful individuals and repressive institutions, but the much more pervasive and insidious mechanisms by which power "reaches into the very grain of individuals, touches their bodies and inserts itself into their actions and attitudes, their discourses, learning processes and everyday lives"
.
Foucault's investigations of prisons, schools, barracks, hospitals, factories, cities, lodgings, families, and other organized forms of social life are each a segment of one of the most astonishing intellectual enterprises of all time -- and, as this book proves, one which possesses profound implications for understanding the social control of our bodies and our minds.
