最近上海社会科学院出版社翻译出版了《宗教思想史》，作者是美国的米尔恰·伊利亚德（Mircea Eliade）,由上海社会科学院宗教研究所晏可佳等翻译。该书是西方著名宗教史家米尔恰·伊利亚德（Mircea Eliade，1907—1986）的代表作之一，该书综合反映了20世纪西方宗教的研究成果。
《宗教思想史》讲述了米尔恰·伊利亚德1907年3月9日出生于罗马尼亚首都布加勒特的一个军人家庭，父亲格奥尔基·伊利亚德（Gheorghe Eliade）是一名上尉军官，是摩尔达维亚人，摩尔达维亚人生性忧郁、充满诗意、喜好玄想；母亲是奥尔特尼亚人，奥尔特尼亚人热爱冒险、精力充沛、性喜骑马。父母亲不同的性格给了伊利亚德双重的影响，伊利亚德好胜心强、敏感、诗意盎然，但有时却陷入绝望、忧郁。 中学时代的伊利亚德热衷于科普创作，梦想着“用文学形式来处理科学问题”，同时对于宗教、东方学和神秘主义的兴趣与日俱增。1925年高中毕业，就读于布加勒斯特大学文学和哲学系。1928年到1931年在印度学习印度瑜伽和奥义书，同时刻苦学习梵文，印度的三年经历成为他学术生涯中极其后重的一笔。伊利亚德在文学创作方面数量颇丰，作为学院派小说家，其学术重心始终在宗教研究上。
二战结束后到1955年，伊利亚德一直居住在法国巴黎，这一期间他的宗教研究达到了一个顶峰，以法文的形式出版了一系列宗教著作：《比较宗教的范型》、《宇宙和历史》、《永恒回归的神话》、《瑜伽:不死与自由以及《萨满教》。这几本著作几乎涵盖了20世纪所有宗教已经的重要领域，使他迅速崛起成为一名蜚声国际学术界的宗教史家。1956年伊利亚德以访问教授的身份应邀到美国芝加哥主持哈斯科尔讲座，次年任芝加哥大学宗教系主任和教授等职，与同事将芝加哥神学院建设成为一个国际知名的宗教史研究中心，从此伊利亚德与美国宗教史学科结下了不解之缘。1961年主编出版了《宗教史》创刊，成为美洲大陆宗教研究的一份重要刊物。80年代，伊利亚德的学术声名日盛，担任《宗教百科全书》的主编，不幸于1986年4月22日逝世。就在他去世一年之后，16卷本的《宗教百科全书》正式出版。这部包括中国学者在内的数以百计的来自世界各地的学者共同参与的著作的出版，为伊利亚德的学术生涯画上了一个圆满的句号。
宗教史作为一门学科，不仅要描绘历史上各种宗教现象的发展过程，更应该在空间上揭示宗教的结构以及宗教对于人类的意义。伊利亚德强调宗教学家不仅是一个历史学家，同时也是一个 现象学家。伊利亚德还特别重视“宗教史”研究对于现代社会的意义。
本书全方面地展示了人类历史上各种纷繁复杂的宗教现象的发展过程，伊利亚德特别注重了那些对人类发展产生重要作用的宗教思想的创新，突出了人民在遭遇深层危机之际是如何通过宗教的创新来解释、摆脱和化解这写危机的。但是伊利亚德强调任何宗教思想的创新都不是凭空而起的，都以一定的传统宗教思想为基础。伊利亚德在书中大量吸收和融合了20世纪在专门宗教领域中其他大师级宗教学者的研究成果，同时还特别关注了一些被以往宗教史家所忽视的宗教思想，因而极大地丰富了人们对于宗教多样性和复杂性的认识。
本书分为3卷，第1卷勾勒了旧石器时代、包括美索不达米亚、埃及、印度、希腊、小亚细亚、巴勒斯坦以及伊朗在内的古代文明的宗教观念；第二卷叙述了中国宗教、印度教、佛教、犹太教、基督教的发展历程；第三卷讲叙了伊斯兰教的产生和发展、基督教宗教改革时期的思想激荡、中世纪犹太教神学思想的演进、中国西藏宗教的基本发展等。每一卷附有一个长篇“研究现状：问题与进展。评论性书目”，罗列了相关宗教专题的已经书目和原始材料，并且做了精辟扼要的评论，既可供读者做进一步的研究参考之用，又可以对西方20世纪宗教研究成果和发展趋势有一个大致的了解。

【内容介绍】
象征性思维一直与人类共存：它先于语言和话语理性而存在。形象、象征、神话，这些并不是人们精神现象中随性的产物，它们的出现回应了某种精神需求，发挥了特定的作用，即揭示人类存在过程中最隐秘的思想方式。因此，对它们的研究能够帮助我们进一步地了解渺小的人类，了解尚未向客观历史条件 妥协的人类。

★如何将主体从意愿和行动的枷锁中解放出来？如何让人类的行动从目的—手段的循环中挣脱出来？
★“神圣人”系列之外，意大利当代具有世界影响力的思想家吉奥乔·阿甘本至为重要的一部著作。
★运用哲学、历史语法学和法学这三套理论工具，阿甘本悉心处理了其分析理路中“行动”、“过错”和“姿势”这三大范畴。
★阿甘本在书中探索了道德性与守法性之间的构成性关联，并对西方的道德和法律结构发起了批判。
★本书不仅统合了阿甘本思想的各个重要主题，还向我们展示了他的理论视野朝着东方哲学（佛教哲学）的全新转向。
- 内容简介 -
全书分四章。
在第一章“案件与过错”中，阿甘本从历史语文学分析出发，揭示了这两个词模糊的词源，以及它们在概念层面的亲缘关系。他指出，这两个概念是法律建筑的前提，但构成法律领域的，是“罪”这一概念。由此，他过渡到卡尔·施密特的相关理论，并进一步探讨了法学中“制裁”这一概念。
在第二章“crimen与karman”中，阿甘本考察了常与“案件”、“过错”联系在一起的拉丁语crimen和梵语karman的关系。后者即“业”，在佛教中指的是行动背后的意愿。他认为，“karman指的就是crimen，也就是说，存在一种可以归责并产生后果的行动”。承认这一点，便可引向意愿概念的诞生。
在第三章“意愿的困局”中，阿甘本阐述了古代世界经由亚里士多德到基督教世界的转变史，这也是意愿概念的诞生史。他指出，与佛教立场类似，柏拉图想要在“是”和“思索”之中寻找人的善，亚里士多德的答案则是“成为”和“行动”。这组对立概念是本章的论述重点。
意愿是将行动固定在主体上的哲学装置，使主体为其行为担责，也就变成了可归责的、可制裁的。正因为此，我们才有必要“超越行动”——这正是第四章的标题。在最后一章中，阿甘本思考了“善”与“行动”在亚里士多德那里的意义。他指出，实现善的必要性正是亚里士多德的遗产。
全书的落脚点是对姿势的分析。除了佛教学说，阿甘本关于姿势的理论探索还指向了瓦尔特·本雅明的《暴力批判》。他对该文本的兴趣在于，如何将人类的行动从目的—手段的循环中解脱出来。而这也是他在作为本书前言的《姿势的本体论与政治学》一文中重点加以考量的。
在前言中，阿甘本总结道：“我试图在书中说明，行动、原因和过错的概念之间存在构成性的关系。我提出的假设是，这三个概念共同构成了将人的行为嵌入法律的领域并让其变得‘有过错’的装置（dispositivo）。这也就意味着，这些行为可以通过各种形式归责给某个主体。人的行为是crimen。这个拉丁语单词可能和梵语中的karman——也就是我们所说的‘业’——有亲缘关系，其原始含义指的是主体的行动与其后果之间无法摆脱的联结。我们早已习惯于这样的法律与道德观念，即人必须回应自己的行动。这似乎理所当然、无可置疑。然而，切不可忘记，20世纪至为伟大的神学家弗朗茨·卡夫卡的全部写作，无非是固执、近乎偏执地追问这唯一的问题：‘人为什么会有过错？’究竟是为什么，人类的心灵会这样设想，认为他的种种‘行动’应该归责于他并让他有过错？”

The philosophy of perception investigates the nature of our sensory experiences and their relation to reality. In the second edition of this popular book, William Fish introduces the subject thematically, setting out the major theories of perception together with their motivations and attendant problems. While providing historical background to debates in the field, this comprehensive overview focuses on recent presentations and defenses of the different theories, and looks beyond visual perception to take into account the role of other senses.
The second edition organizes the contents into two main parts: the first deals with philosophical theories of perception, and the second covers key topics and issues in perception as they are discussed in philosophy, cognitive science, and psychology. Two completely new chapters have been added – one on color and color vision; and a second on the interaction between sense modalities – and other chapters have been significantly updated to include discussion of topics such as pre-twentieth-century philosophy of perception, phenomenal intentionality, color adverbialism, predictive processing approaches to perception, ecological approaches to perception, and in-depth discussions of the non-visual senses. Additional updates include fuller and easier-to-understand explanations of some important views that were glossed over in the first edition and greater coverage of research from the last 25 years. All chapter summaries, references, and Suggested Reading lists at the end of each chapter have been brought up to date and the volume now includes a glossary and a more extensive index at the back of the book.

大師註解大師之作
從駝背侏儒、遊蕩者、文學評論家到說故事的人
在每一字句轉折處，窺見班雅明的靈光哲思
班雅明無疑是20世紀最獨特、最豐富，也最難懂的思想哲人。他的創作力極為豐沛，一生留下大量評論、書信、未完成的研究計畫、遊記，以及許多難以歸類的文字。1950年代，阿多諾、鄂蘭將其中部分手稿編纂為文集，使班雅明聲名大噪。然而，仍有謎團遺留在他充滿隱喻、矛盾與實驗性的文字之中，他的身影則游移在文學、哲學與神學的邊界。人們著迷於他的著作，卻也往往迷失其中。
在這部巨作中，後現代大師詹明信以其畢生功力，嘗試引領我們更深入班雅明宏偉的思想迷宮。除了全面審讀班雅明的著作、書評、信件與雜文，也對班雅明同時代作家、思潮進行龐大的梳理考察，重建班雅明各種書寫、各種身分的歷史語境，最終凝聚為九個展現班雅明關鍵／多重概念的章節。書中搭配的示意圖，更清楚扼要地展示了詹明信對班雅明複雜思想的理解。喜好班雅明的讀者，必定不能錯過這本絕佳的指南。

Jameson's first full-length engagement with Walter Benjamin's work.
The Benjamin Files offers a comprehensive new reading of all of Benjamin's major works and a great number of his shorter book reviews, notes and letters. Its premise is that Benjamin was an anti-philosophical, anti-systematic thinker whose conceptual interests also felt the gravitational pull of his vocation as a writer. What resulted was a coexistence or variety of language fields and thematic codes which overlapped and often seemed to contradict each other: a view which will allow us to clarify the much-debated tension in his works between the mystical or theological side of Benjamin and his political or historical inclination.
The three-way tug of war over his heritage between adherents of his friends Scholem, Adorno and Brecht, can also be better grasped from this position, which gives the Brechtian standpoint more due than most influential academic studies. Benjamin's corpus is an anticipation of contemporary theory in the priority it gives language and representation over philosophical or conceptual unity; and its political motivations are clarified by attention to the omnipresence of History throughout his writing, from the shortest articles to the most ambitious projects. His explicit program – "to transfer the crisis into the heart of language" or, in other words, to detect class struggle at work in the most minute literary phenomena – requires the reader to translate the linguistic or representational literary issues that concerned him back into the omnipresent but often only implicitly political ones. But the latter are those of another era, to which we must gain access, to use one of Benjamin's favorite expressions.

《狱中书简》由朋霍费尔的好友埃伯哈特•贝特格在他遇难后整理出版，收录朋霍费尔在狱中写给亲友的书信、诗歌和杂感断简。其中既有他对一生所学与所思的深沉回忆，也有他与父母朋友之间感情真挚的通信。如果说他以前的创作多是他神学思想的记录，那么《狱中书简》更像是他脱去神学家外衣之后更真实的自我表达。他明知生命将歇，却依然正气凛然，在纳粹绞刑架下，发出一个圣徒最后的声音，他说，“这，就是终点。对我来说，是生命的开端。”

迪特里希·朋霍费尔（1906—1945），德国著名神学哲学家。本书是朋霍费尔被纳粹囚禁前写作的毕生的代表作，最终由后人编辑完成。带着德国若在战争中取胜则基督教文明不复存在的认识，朋霍费尔《伦理学》的写作充满了现实感、使命感，他在“伦理学”的论题下，从神学家的立场深入思考了现代的政治哲学、社会哲学和历史哲学问题。其论题涵盖面和思想尖锐性使得本书的重要性超过了朋霍费尔生前出版的主要论著，坚实地奠定了朋霍费尔作为二十世纪神学大思想家的历史地位。

This landmark book is now reissued in a new edition that has been vastly rewritten and updated to respond to recent Kantian literature. It includes a new discussion of the Third Analogy, a greatly expanded discussion of Kant's Paralogisms, and entirely new chapters dealing with Kant's theory of reason, his treatment of theology, and the important Appendix to the Dialectic.

本书初版于1983年，随即成为康德研究最重要的著作之一，被誉为由美国哲学家撰写的关于《纯粹理性批判》的“最全面和最扎实的”著作，标志着康德研究的重要转折。
本书对康德的先验观念论做出深入的解读和有力的辩护，涵括了两百年来关于《纯粹理性批判》的基本解读历史，以及当今康德学 界关于康德理论哲学的各种最强有力的纲领。促使学者们重新关注已经被忽视了很久的德国观念论，是康德研究领域不可绕过的著作。第二版于2004年由耶鲁大学出版社出版，在初版里程碑式的研究基础上进行了大幅修订和增补，对任何想要研读康德及其《纯粹理性批判》的学人而言都是不可或缺的重要读物。
阿利森的《康德的先验观念论》是一部有影响深远的、奠基性的著作，激起了文本上和哲学上的诸多评论。第二版相当于阿利森对这些评论做出的详尽的、令人赞叹的回应，结果这几乎成了一部新的著作，如初版一样深刻、充满创见、至关重要。阿利森还做了许多修订，他对人类认识的曲行性、人类理性的本性以及第三类比的论证所做的讨论都进入了全新的领域，他又一次成功地以新颖而有益的方式重述了基本论题，同时忠实于康德的文本与精神。
——罗伯特·皮平（Robert Pippin），芝加哥大学
本书第二版非常显著地扩展了初版经典的内容，讨论了最新的学术成果，并大幅度扩充了对先验辩证论的讨论。必读之作。
——卡尔·阿美瑞克斯（Karl Ameriks），圣母大学
本书极可能是迄今为止由美国哲学家所写成的关于《纯粹理性批判》的最全面和最扎实的著作。一部才华横溢的作品。
——刘易斯·怀特·贝克（Lewis White Beck），罗彻斯特大学
一部才思敏捷、组织严密并在哲学上富有创见的、不可或缺的著作。
—— 阿瑟·麦尔尼克
康德的《纯粹理性批判》是旷世奇著，自1781年出版以来已经根本改变了哲学的面貌、甚至在一定程度上改变了人类的思维。康德在其中考察知识的先验条件，而不是单纯的知识，他不再认同单纯由概念系统所支撑的传统形而上学，而是建立人类认识的基本条件，推动了哲学的认识论转向，同时开创了知识的自我检验机制。
——中文版导言一：陈虎平《康德<纯粹理性批判>的基本取向》
阿利森的《康德的先验观念论：一种解读和辩护》初版于1983年，它“标志着英语康德学界的一个转折点”[ 伽德纳（Sebastian Gardner）语，请参见Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, 2005.9.4: http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/24853/?id=3761。]。在此书中，阿利森全面而深入地解读了哲学史上最艰深的作品之一——《纯粹理性批判》。他生动地诠释了一种高水准的学术研究对其研究对象应有的态度：一方面，他对康德的解读充满了同情，针对诸多评论者的批评，努力为康德辩护；另一方面，他对于康德论证中的困境也毫不隐讳。阿利森的出色研究激活了英语哲学界对康德观念论的兴趣。[ Tom Rockmore, Kant and Idealism, p. 194, Yale University Press: 2007.]再则，塞拉斯（Wilfried Sellars）在1956年的著名论文“经验论与心智哲学”一文中对意向性问题采取了一种康德式的处理，其后二十多年间，他一直致力于发展自己早期的这种康德哲学取向。两者的影响共同开启了20世纪80年代以来英语哲学界从分析哲学向康德、黑格尔回归的进程。

Hannah Arendt’s authoritative report on the trial of Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann includes further factual material that came to light after the trial, as well as Arendt’s postscript directly addressing the controversy that arose over her account.

"Zizek’s playful writing style presents the reader with apposite and amusing examples, from Franz Kafka to Jane Austen, which clarify and enliven his arguments. Zizek’s book bursts with reflection, observation, wit and raw iconoclastic conclusions. Zizek’s magnetic style and radical ideas are a welcome and inspiring breath of fresh air. It is possible that through revealing how we make sense of our past The Most Sublime Hysteric may help us to cultivate a better future."
——Morning Star
"The Most Sublime Hysteric clearly outlines the logic at the basis of the thought of the most important philosopher of our time. With care and precision, Zizek conjoins Hegel and Lacan, building the components of his own unique and powerful philosophical system. This long-awaited translation of Zizek's doctoral dissertation provides a valuable new point of entry to his work, appropriate for experts and newcomers alike."
——Jodi Dean, Hobart and William Smith Colleges
"Slavoj Zizek’s doctoral thesis on Hegel, Lacan, and the impasses of post-Hegelianism is as fresh today as it was in 1982. Written with his characteristic wit and exceptional lucidity, this book will clarify the foundational ideas of one of the greatest thinkers of our time."
——Kenneth Reinhard, University of California, Los Angeles
"What a fascinating document it is."
——Irish Left Review
What do we know about Hegel? What do we know about Marx? What do we know about democracy and totalitarianism? Communism and psychoanaly sis? What do we know that isn't a platitude that we've heard a thousand times - or a self-satisfied certainty? Through his brilliant reading of Hegel, Slavoj Zizek - one of the most provocative and widely-read thinkers of our time - upends our traditional understanding, dynamites every cliché and undermines every conviction in order to clear the ground for new ways of answering these questions.
When Lacan described Hegel as the ‘most sublime hysteric’, he was referring to the way that the hysteric asks questions because he experiences his own desire as if it were the Other's desire. In the dialectical process, the question asked of the Other is resolved through a reflexive turn in which the question begins to function as its own answer. We had made Hegel into the theorist of abstraction and reaction, but by reading Hegel with Lacan, Zizek unveils a Hegel of the concrete and of revolution - his own, and the one to come.
This early and dazzlingly original work by Zizek offers a unique insight into the ideas which have since become hallmarks of his mature thought. It will be of great interest to anyone interested in critical theory, philosophy and contemporary social thought.

This is a hugely important book that rediscovers three crucial, but long overlooked themes in German idealism: mythology, madness and laughter. "Mythology, Madness and Laughter: Subjectivity in German Idealism" explores some long neglected but crucial themes in German idealism. Markus Gabriel, one of the most exciting young voices in contemporary philosophy, and Slavoj Zizek, the celebrated contemporary philosopher and cultural critic, show how these themes impact on the problematic relations between being and appearance, reflection and the absolute, insight and ideology, contingency and necessity, subjectivity, truth, habit and freedom. Engaging with three central figures of the German idealist movement, Hegel, Schelling and Fichte, Gabriel and Zizek, who here shows himself to be one of the most erudite and important scholars of German idealism, ask how is it possible for Being to appear in reflection without falling back into traditional metaphysics. By applying idealistic theories of reflection and concrete subjectivity, including the problem of madness and everydayness in Hegel, this hugely important book aims to reinvigorate a philosophy of finitude and contingency, topics at the forefront of contemporary European philosophy.

A new volume of philosophical essays by Bernard Williams. The book is a successor to Problems of the Self, but whereas that volume dealt mainly with questions of personal identity, Moral Luck centres on questions of moral philosophy and the theory of rational action. That whole area has of course been strikingly reinvigorated over the last deacde, and philosophers have both broadened and deepened their concerns in a way that now makes much earlier moral and political philosophy look sterile and trivial. Moral Luck contains a number of essays that have contributed influentially to this development. Among the recurring themes are the moral and philosophical limitations of utilitarianism, the notion of integrity, relativism, and problems of moral conflict and rational choice. The work presented here is marked by a high degree of imagination and acuity, and also conveys a strong sense of psychological reality. The volume will be a stimulating source of ideas and arguments for all philosophers and a wide range of other readers.

Gareth Evans, one of the most brilliant philosophers of his generation, died in 1980 at the age of thirty-four. He had been working for many years on a book about reference, but did not complete it before his death. The work was edited for publication by John McDowell, who contributes a Preface.
