Political Philosophy 豆瓣
作者: Steven B. Smith Yale University Press 2012 - 11
Who ought to govern? Why should I obey the law? How should conflict be controlled? What is the proper education for a citizen and a statesman? These questions probe some of the deepest and most enduring problems that every society confronts, regardless of time and place. Today we ask the same crucial questions about law, authority, justice, and freedom that Plato, Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Tocqueville faced in previous centuries.
In this lively and enlightening book, Professor Steven B. Smith introduces the wide terrain of political philosophy through the classic texts of the discipline. Works by the greatest thinkers illuminate the permanent problems of political life, Smith shows, and while we may not accept all their conclusions, it would be a mistake to overlook the relevance of their insights.
When Nietzsche Wept 豆瓣 Goodreads
When Nietzsche Wept: A Novel of Obsession
8.0 (8 个评分) 作者: [美国] 欧文·亚龙 Harper Perennial 2005 - 1
In nineteenth-century Vienna, a drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment that defined the era. Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure," Breuer never expects that he too will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient. In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense, to unfold an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship.

哲学家本人作为一个主要人物出现在了书中,使本书中的孤独、死亡、痴迷、丧失等主题可以得到非常深入的讨论,也因此而是一本比《叔本华的治疗》更引人思考的好书。尼采用永恒复归“治愈”了Breuer医生在生活中的意义迷失和对病人的执迷情感,而Breuer不仅帮助尼采克服了对莎乐美的痴迷,也在无意中实践了精神分析的雏形。Yalom的独特之处在于他能在借用尼采或叔本华的哲学思想“治愈”某些心理问题之后,又经由更为人本主义的立场实现“反转”,使得人物意识到或孤独或厌世的倾向之下潜藏的对于友谊、同伴以及人性温暖之处的向往。

The Schopenhauer Cure 豆瓣
作者: Irvin Yalom HarperCollins 2005 - 1
From novelist and master psychotherapist Irvin Yalom, author of Lying on the Couch and When Nietzsche Wept, comes the world's first accurate group-therapy novel, a mesmerizing story of two men's search for meaning.
At one time or another, all of us have wondered what we'd do in the face of death. Suddenly confronted with his own mortality after a routine checkup, distinguished psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld is forced to reexamine his life and work. Has he really made an enduring difference in the lives of his patients? And what about the patients he's failed? What has happened to them? Now that he is wiser and riper, can he rescue them yet?
Reaching beyond the safety of his thriving San Francisco practice, Julius feels compelled to seek out Philip Slate, whom he treated for sex addiction some twenty-three years earlier. At that time, Philip's only means of connecting to humans was through brief sexual interludes with countless women, and Julius's therapy did not change that. He meets with Philip, who claims to have cured himself -- by reading the pessimistic and misanthropic philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Much to Julius's surprise, Philip has become a philosophical counselor and requests that Julius provide him with the supervisory hours he needs to obtain a license to practice. In return, Philip offers to tutor Julius in the work of Schopenhauer. Julius hesitates. How can Philip possibly become a therapist? He is still the same arrogant, uncaring, self-absorbed person he had always been. In fact, in every way he resembles his mentor, Schopenhauer. But eventually they strike a Faustian bargain: Julius agrees to supervise Philip, provided that Philip first joins his therapy group. Julius is hoping that six months with the group will address Philip's misanthropy and that by being part of a circle of fellow patients, he will develop the relationship skills necessary to become a therapist.
Philip enters the group, but he is more interested in educating the members in Schopenhauer's philosophy -- which he claims is all the therapy anyone should need -- than he is in their individual problems. Soon Julius and Philip, using very different therapeutic approaches, are competing for the hearts and minds of the group members.
Is this going to be Julius's swan song -- a splintered group and years of good work down the drain? Or will all the members, including Philip, find a way to rise to the occasion that brings with it the potential for extraordinary change? In The Schopenhauer Cure, Irvin Yalom elegantly weaves the true story of Schopenhauer's psychological life throughout the narrative, knitting together fact and fiction to form a compellingly readable tale.

并非侦探小说,描写团体治疗的场景却有侦探小说般引人入胜的力量。书名具有双重含义,主人公Philip既以叔本华哲学疗愈了自己的性瘾行为,也在Julius的治疗小组中被矫正了离群索居、厌恶人类的叔本华式的思维/生活方式。书中穿插了对叔本华生平和哲学思想的介绍,以及作者Irvin Yalom透过Julius这一人物对团体治疗所发表的真知灼见;再加上所探讨的如何面对不可避免的死亡、在已知生活的无意义时应如何继续生活、现代人的孤独感和两性关系等诸多问题,都使这本书成为一部极具可读性和思想性并且还兼具心理治疗教学意义的严肃小说。

Chinese Painting: A Pictorial History
9.0 (35 个评分) 作者: [美] 高居翰 译者: 李渝 生活·读书·新知三联书店 2014 - 4
本书是1958年由瑞士人史基拉策划的一套亚洲艺术丛书之一,以编入他当时已获盛名的欧洲艺术丛书。经喜龙仁推荐,当时正在攻读博士学位的高居翰获得了写作本书的机会,完成一部精简、创新、又具可读性的艺术通史。
高居翰的这部中国绘画通史著作,图文并貌,以一个外国人的眼 光,来欣赏中国名画,由100幅作品串起对画史的解说,是雅俗共赏的艺术读物。
自1960年首度出版英文、法文、德文版以来,它一直是西方最受欢迎的简明《中国绘画史》,不断再版。作者融合了西方汉学及艺术史的方法,以各时代最具代表性的作品,讨论和分析了中国绘画史的衔接与转变,也尝试将中国绘画的意向和含义与思想史、社会史、经济史的种种因素联系起来,向广大读者清晰介绍了他以及诸多行家集体努力而达到的对中国绘画的看法。此外,书中也精选了美国、日本、台北故宫的大量名作,并对它们进行了细致解读。以实在的例子、具体的描述、渐进的叙述、专业的视角,带领观众一同进入历史的轨迹。
高居翰写作的特点是直接从对画面的观看和体验入手,带领读者进入绘画史的理解,而不是套用文字记载的生平、风格等等来进行概念性的描述,这在三联已出版的几种学术专著中已经得到很好的体现。而这本书原本就是为西语世界的普通读者所写,比为专业读者所写的研究性著作更普及,对画面的分析也就更细腻。

《合肥四姊妹》讲述了张家元和、允和、兆和、充和四姐妹的传奇故事和集体记忆,让我们有幸与中国历史进行近距离的接触。借由信件、日记、家谱、诗歌、杂志和访谈,作者为这个家族撰写了一部引人入胜的编年史。对于古老中国及其向现代转变的历史进程,她展现出不同寻常的洞察力。
张家姐妹从父亲身上继承了理性和对现代西方教育的信任,从母亲那里体会到为人处世的艺术。她们的保姆一群来自合肥乡间的没有受过教育的寡妇,有着自己的传统信仰和见解。四姐妹的情感和家庭、艺术与生活,让我们窥见二十世纪中国私人生活的真实面目和传统仕宦家庭的起落浮沉,也见证了这个古老国度在过去百年间历史与命运。

A work of great personal courage and a literary tour de force, this bestseller is Styron's true account of his descent into a crippling and almost suicidal depression.

美国著名作家William Styron从老年男性和艺术家的切身角度解读单相抑郁症,相当写实。从书中可见仅仅在三十年前,美国人——书中表现的是知识阶层——也羞于谈论心理疾患,更不愿意将自杀与忧郁症联系在一起。Depression到底是illness还是weakness,在今天的美国社会已不是一个问题。有感于很多国人对精神卫生的漠视,所以希望看到越来越多相关的中文书籍。

Overdressed 豆瓣
作者: Elizabeth L. Cline Portfolio Hardcover 2012 - 6
Fast fashion and disposable clothing have become our new norms. We buy ten-dollar shoes from Target that disintegrate within a month and make weekly pilgrimages to Forever 21 and H&M. Elizabeth Cline argues that this rapid cycle of consumption isn't just erasing our sense of style and causing massive harm to the environment and human rights - it's also bad for our souls. Cline documents her own transformation from fast-fashion addict to conscientious shopper. She takes a long look at her overstuffed closet, resoles her cheap imported boots, travels to the world's only living-wage garment factory, and seeks out cutting-edge local and sustainable fashion, all on her journey to find antidotes to out-of-control shopping. Cline looks at the impact here and abroad of America's drastic increase in inexpensive clothing imports, visiting cheap-chic factories in Bangladesh and China and exploring the problems caused by all those castoffs we donate to the Salvation Army. She also shows how consumers can vote with their dollars to grow the sustainable clothing industry, reign in the conventional apparel market, and wear their clothes with pride.

本书涉及了二十年来快时尚逐渐占领服装市场主流的现象和原因、它与高端时尚的“媾和”、美国人服装消费习惯的变迁、过剩/废弃服饰的回收与处理、未来时尚业回复“慢”的趋势等等,并有作者对中国、孟加拉等第三世界服装加工厂的实地考察记录,适合对消费文化作为一个现象有兴趣的读者。不足之处跟几年前读的Deluxe一书一样,资本社会中的美国人虽然对表层问题的批判意识很强,却无法指出问题的根源存在于资本扩张的本质之中。所以很遗憾,本书作者的解决办法又是回到微观和终端,号召读者花更多的钱买更好的东西、支持本土服装业、自己学会动手修补衣饰,诸如此类。这并非不对,但离题太远。

Now It All Makes Sense 豆瓣
作者: M.D. William J. Stockton Free Will Publishing, L.L.C. 2005 - 5
In "Now It All Makes Sense" Dr. Stockton has created a book that helps the layman to understand how the mind works and to make both professional and layman aware of the importance of self-knowledge in becoming a mentally and emotionally healthy human being. He addresses “mind” in its multilayered complexity, including “mind’s” rich connections with heart and soul. In clear, unadorned prose he avoids both biological and psychodynamic reductionism while speaking out cogently against the trend, driven substantially by for-profit entities, to turn psychiatrists into prescribers and psychiatry into a primarily medication prescribing profession. Through gripping clinical vignettes he documents, among other things, that medications, “ . . . no matter how precisely designed . . .” cannot “. . . resolve emotional conflicts that impair the decisions and actions required of a productive person.” An experienced, mature clinician, he describes psychotherapy work as a creative, courageous, healing patient/doctor endeavor he terms “self-knowledge” or “self-understanding” therapy. In so doing he sets aside some of the negative aspects of psychoanalysis while retaining its enduringly positive elements. His case presentations describe the self-understanding process in motion, stressing the importance of both intellectual and emotional learning. This sort of rich presentation of complex situations in motion is all too rare in modern psychiatric writing and will prove to be of enormous interest and value to those legions of psychiatric residents and colleagues wishing to hone their psychotherapy skills. It is the equivalent of a master’s series for dancers or writers. In these powerful and moving vignettes, he places himself squarely within a small group of literate clinical psychiatric writers including Paul DeGenova, Peter Kramer in his book, Moments of Engagement, and Robert Coles in The Call of Stories. Now It All Makes Sense speaks eloquently to both the lay and professional reader as it demystifies and destigmatizes mental illness. It is a most worthy and valuable contribution that deserves the widest possible readership.

作者: Richard Yates Vintage 2008 - 11
In the hopeful 1950s, Frank and April Wheeler appear to be a model couple: bright, beautiful, talented, with two young children and a starter home in the suburbs. Perhaps they married too young and started a family too early. Maybe Frank's job is dull. And April never saw herself as a housewife. Yet they have always lived on the assumption that greatness is only just around the corner. But now that certainty is about to crumble.
With heartbreaking compassion and remorseless clarity, Richard Yates shows how Frank and April mortgage their spiritual birthright, betraying not only each other, but their best selves.

All the Light We Cannot See
8.1 (16 个评分) 作者: Anthony Doerr Scribner 2014 - 5
From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II.
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.
In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.
Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
