Paul Ricoeur is widely regarded as one of the most distinguished philosophers of our time. In "The Rule of Metaphor" he seeks "to show how language can extend itself to its very limits, forever discovering new resonances within itself". Recognizing the fundamental power of language in constructing the world we perceive, Ricoeur reveals the processes by which linguistic imagination creates and recreates meaning through metaphor. Taking further his acclaimed analysis of the power of myth and symbol, Ricoeur invites us to explore the many layers of language in order to rediscover what that meaning might be.

Why has power in the West assumed the form of an "economy," that is, of a government of men and things? If power is essentially government, why does it need glory, that is, the ceremonial and liturgical apparatus that has always accompanied it?
In the early centuries of the Church, in order to reconcile monotheism with God's threefold nature, the doctrine of Trinity was introduced in the guise of an economy of divine life. It was as if the Trinity amounted to nothing more than a problem of managing and governing the heavenly house and the world. Agamben shows that, when combined with the idea of providence, this theological-economic paradigm unexpectedly lies at the origin of many of the most important categories of modern politics, from the democratic theory of the division of powers to the strategic doctrine of collateral damage, from the invisible hand of Smith's liberalism to ideas of order and security.
But the greatest novelty to emerge from The Kingdom and the Glory is that modern power is not only government but also glory, and that the ceremonial, liturgical, and acclamatory aspects that we have regarded as vestiges of the past actually constitute the basis of Western power. Through a fascinating analysis of liturgical acclamations and ceremonial symbols of power—the throne, the crown, purple cloth, the Fasces, and more—Agamben develops an original genealogy that illuminates the startling function of consent and of the media in modern democracies. With this book, the work begun with Homo Sacer reaches a decisive point, profoundly challenging and renewing our vision of politics.

◆ 一把打开西方历史文明之门的钥匙
◆当代最具挑战性的思想家阿甘本，解读最有影响力的《圣经》书卷
◆特邀华东师范大学政治系教授吴冠军为本书撰写导读
【内容简介】
《罗马书》在《圣经》中的重要地位毋庸置疑，奥古斯丁、加尔文、马丁·路德等人均受其启示。本书由阿甘本一系列的讨论 班课程发展而来，其主导思想始终如一：对文本的诠解，对《罗马书》第一句话里的十个词的逐一解读。阿甘本试图把保罗书信从基督教会历史中分离出来，并将其文本重置于早期的“犹太—基督教”背景，指出它是“西方最具奠基性质的弥赛亚主义文本”。
通过对《罗马书》首句的逐字解读，阿甘本谨慎地辨明了那些经由历代神学讨论、翻译、注释后被强加到原初文本中的内容。这种哲学式的探究让他讨论了另一位重要思想家——瓦尔特·本雅明。细读、比较保罗书信与本雅明的《历史哲学论纲》之后，阿甘本洞悉到两者间未曾被发现的惊人的相似之处，他认为后者的历史哲学观念是对前者“剩余的时间”概念的复现与挪用。

琉善（约125—180）是古罗马的唯物主义者和无神论者，西方古代文学中最后一位重要作家、希腊语讽刺散文家，本书摘译了其有代表性的十四篇哲学对话。前五篇是政治哲学论文，作者用幽默、辛辣的语言揭露当时社会的黑暗、统治者的腐朽，表达了其关于财富公有、人人平等的政治社会理想。后九篇是无神论文章，作者借用宗教神灵进行阐述，然而并非逢迎当时的宗教氛围，而是以此对神灵加以讽刺，对祭祀加以质疑，揭露神谕和预言的虚伪不实，鲜明地表达了其宗教批判的思想。

本书是唯一一部关于科学革命的编史学研究著作，出版后即确立了其经典和权威地位。它如同一部百科全书，系统地考察了自19世纪以来科学史家们关于科学革命的实质和原因的大约60种观点，并对其特点和不足给出了自己的看法。本书不仅涉及如何解释和看待伽利略、开普勒、牛顿等人的科学成就，而且也涉及科学革命根植于哪些哲学、宗教、社会土壤，如何永远改变了我们理解自然界的方式，以及为什么科学革命发生在17世纪的西欧而没有发生在古希腊、中国和伊斯兰世界等诸多议题，从而大大有助于我们对近代科学的思想、社会和文化起源的理解。本书是科学革命研究者的必读著作，也可供关心现代世界兴起的读者阅读。

作为“西方马克思主义”思潮的创始人，卢卡奇深刻参与到中国马克思主义理论形态和学术形态的当代重塑过程。《卢卡奇研究指南》（三卷本）精选近半个世纪以来英语、德语、俄语、法语等学界有关卢卡奇的经典研究论述，系统展现卢卡奇各个思想发展阶段、各个思想发展维度的国际学术共识，努力为国内卢卡奇研究提供坚实的学术支撑。《卢卡奇研究指南》三卷本分别对应卢卡奇早、中、晚期的思想，第一卷聚焦卢卡奇的早期思想，第二卷主要讨论卢卡奇影响最大的著作《历史与阶级意识》，第三卷主要探究卢卡奇中、晚期理论著作。

阿多诺是德国法兰克福学派的核心人物，他自幼学习音乐，熟知西方音乐史，又钻研过西方各派哲学和马克思主义的著作，形成了以社会批判理论和否定的辩证法为主线的哲学思想，并用这种哲学思想去研究20世纪欧洲的新音乐，《新音乐的哲学》就是其成果之一。
本书包括三篇具有相对独立性的论文，早的一篇是1940—1941年写成的《勋伯格与进步》，第二篇是时隔七年之后写成的《斯特拉文斯基与倒退》，后一篇是在两篇文章结集出版时（1948年）撰写的“导论”，目的是要说明为何要选择新音乐中的两个极端的代表人物作为论述的对象、概括论述新音乐总的发展趋势和特征以及《新音乐的哲学》所用的方法。
每当精神产品被遗弃并被放透到历史之中，纯粹的时间进程代替了现实事物发展的地位时，如下怀疑就得到了证实：那种精神产品并未被人们所熟悉和掌握，而且还受到了排斥。但《新音乐的哲学》所带有的锋芒却可能有益于现今的音乐状况。

Theodor Adorno (1903-69) was undoubtedly the foremost thinker of the Frankfurt School, the influential group of German thinkers that fled to the US in the 1930s, including such thinkers as Herbert Marcuse and Max Horkheimer. His work has proved enormously influential in sociology, philosophy and cultural theory. Aesthetic Theory is Adorno's posthumous magnum opus and the culmination of a lifetime's investigation. Analysing the sublime, the ugly and the beautiful, Adorno shows how such concepts frame and distil human experience and that it is human experience that ultimately underlies aesthetics. In Adorno's formulation 'art is the sedimented history of human misery'. Edited by Gretel Adorno and Rolf Tiedeman Translated by Robert Hullot-Kentor.

This seminal work by the great Protestant theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher was first published in 1799 and quickly became a classic apologetic work. This reissue of the Oman translation presents the definitive third edition of the German original and makes this important text available again to students and scholars who wish to gain insight into the development of contemporary Protestant thought.

以赛亚•伯林是20世纪最重要的政治思想家之一。在他宽泛的政治理论思想中，存在着一条贯通彼此的重要线索：揭露20世纪极权主义的概念根源。伯林大体通过对三个层面的分析来追溯这一根源：卢梭等思想家对自由观念的扭曲；启蒙的科学至上主义，反启蒙的非理性主义和浪漫主义；以及道德一元论。
乔治•克劳德认为，伯林对自由在当代之敌人的批判非常激动人心且充满力量，但其思想一致性也受到自由主义和多元论之间紧张关系的威胁。在本书中，作者通过简明易解的文字全面而详细地分析了伯林的政治观念，并以此为政治思想研究做出了重要的原创性贡献。

Electrifying when they were first delivered in 1973, becoming legendary in the years since, as transcripts passed from hand to hand, Dieter Henrich's lectures on German idealism were the first contact a major German philosopher had made with an American audience since the onset of World War II. They remain, to this day, one of the most eloquent interpretations of the central philosophical tradition of Germany and the way in which it relates to the concerns of contemporary philosophy. Thanks to the editorial work of David Pacini, one of the original auditors of Henrich's course, the lectures appear here with annotations that link them to the editions of the masterworks of German philosophy as they are now available. </p>
Henrich describes the movement that led from Kant to Hegel, beginning with an interpretation of the structure and tensions of Kant's system. He locates the Kantian movement and revival of Spinoza, as sketched by F. H. Jacobi, in the intellectual conditions of the time and in the philosophical motivations of modern thought. And he explains the motives behind Fichte's Doctrine of Science. Henrich connects this history to the poet Hölderlin's original philosophy and to the thought of the founders of Romanticism, Novalis and Friedrich Schlegel. He concludes with an interpretation of the basic design of Hegel's system. </p>

本书主要收录了奥古斯丁反对佩拉纠派的书信，与此紧密相关的是「原罪论」和「预定论」，并涉及「自由」等重要范畴。在本文集中可以看到这些思想的形成及其发展。奥古斯丁与佩拉纠派的论证影响既深且远，在后世，已本性与恩典以及理性与其实为题的问题一再重新被提起，引发争论。宗教改革时期，路德和伊拉斯谟的论站比较著名，双方都引用奥古斯丁，但是观点却大相径庭。二十世纪三十年代，新正统主义者巴特和自由主义神学家布伦纳亦爆发了关于启示与理性，恩典与本性关系的论战。只要既坚持有一个全能全善的上帝，又坚持伦理行为出自人本身的自由意志，这个问题便是一个永远令人着迷，充满张力的问题。

内容简介：
本书包含了奥古斯丁论述基督教“信、望、爱”三大神学德行的的重要论著。奥古斯丁在《论信望爱》中以既简明又全面的方式阐述了基督教最基本的教义：罪、恩典、预定。奥古斯丁对这些教义的阐述对后世的基督教思想家，如马丁路德、加尔文、巴特等，产生了重大的影响。本篇是了解奥古斯丁思想、古代基督教，乃至基督教思想史的一把钥匙。
本书目录：
一、论信望爱
二、论教义的教导
三、论信仰与信经
四、论信仰未见之事
五、论信仰的裨益
六、论信经

中世纪早期，欧洲发展出复杂多样的基督教文化，而自1100年前后，世俗诸侯领袖、并驱争先的派别及颖悟睿智的个人在这个基督教社会中共同构成了一个多元复合且不断变化的群体。本卷对中世纪后期欧洲基督徒生活的建制、行为与经验等内容展开了全方位探讨。该阶段的教士阶层在司铎、主教和教宗的角色分配上有了新的认识，并在教导平信徒方面有所创见。对普通百姓而言，教区宗教行为乃是其生活的中心，但仍有很多人为丰富自己的基督徒生活而寻求其他方式。在感召力强的传道人的带领下，并受到世俗统治者的支持，改革与更新的浪潮周期性地席卷着欧洲各地。而与此同时，基督徒在他们所处地域及边境处时常会面临与非基督徒的冲突。本书论及上述交错复杂的历史进程，以期读者做进一步的深究。

'Naming and Necessity' has had a great and increasing influence. It redirected philosophical attention to neglected questions of natural and metaphysical necessity and to the connections between these and theories of naming, and of identity. This seminal work, to which today's thriving essentialist metaphysics largely owes its impetus, is here reissued in a newly corrected form with a new preface by the author. If there is such a thing as essential reading in metaphysics, or in philosophy of language, this is it.

This book is a continuation of Giorgio Agamben's investigation of political theory, which began with the highly influential volume Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life. Having already traced the roots of the idea of sovereignty, sacredness, and economy, he now turns to a perhaps unlikely topic: the concept of the oath. Following the Italian scholar Paolo Prodi, Agamben sees the oath as foundational for Western politics and undertakes an exploration of the roots of the phenomenon of the oath in human experience. He rejects the common idea that the oath finds its origin in religion, arguing instead that the oath points toward a particular response to the experience of language, a response that gave birth to both religion and law as we now know them. This book is important not only for readers of Agamben or of continental philosophy more broadly, but for anyone interested in questions relating to the relationships among religion, law, and language.
