This book expounds and examines Plato's answer to the normative question, 'how ought we to live?' It discusses Plato's conception of the virtues; his views about the connection between these and happiness; and the account of reason, desire, and motivation that underlies his arguments about the virtues. Irwin traces the development of Plato's moral philosophy, from the Socratic dialogues to its fullest exposition in the Republic. He discusses Plato's reasons for abandoning or modifying some aspects of Socratic ethics, and for believing that he preserves Socrates' essential insights. A brief and selective discussion of the Statesmen, Philebus, and Laws is included. Plato's answer to the epistemological question 'how can we know how we ought to live?' is also discussed. His views on knowledge, belief, and inquiry, and his theory of forms, are examined in so far as they are relevant to his ethical views. This book expands the discussion in "Plato's Moral Theory" (OUP, 1977) to provide an introduction to all-important aspects of Plato's ethical thought. A fuller account of the main questions is given, and recent controversies in the interpretation of Plato's ethics are discussed. The book does not presuppose knowledge of Greek, or any extensive knowledge of Plato.

全书分为五个部分：政治教育、政治愿望、祸患之中的教师、当官的年代和死缓阶段。一方面，阿隆追述了20世纪法国发生的重大历史事件，细致地描绘了各种行为人的面貌。他把自身生活以及公共生活的周边环境都写了进去，而内心波动和事件起伏只是稍有触及。另一方面，他把自己的全部著述都收 集和归纳到书中，每篇著作的核心内容，他用几页提要加以说明。阿隆还补充了对其评论的各种反应，收入了他曾收到的赞同或反对他的信件，以及他自己写的回顾性评论。从某种程度上讲，《雷蒙•阿隆回忆录》归纳了他的整个人生和全部著述。

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。

本书探讨伦理学中的几个论题。读过几本书的人知道，天下的道理差不多早都被前人讲过。其中有些，我有自己的体会、思考，尝试用当代中国普通读者比较易懂的方式把这些道理重新讲述；有些，前人好像讲得不太对不太好，我尝试讲得更好些。也许没做到——我一直对自己期望不高，更希望的倒是有几个读者能与作者一样，感到诚实的思考实是人生一大乐事。
“我该怎样生活”这个问题不只是人生道路之初的问题，而是贯穿人的一生的问题。这个问题，主要不是选择人生道路的问题，不是选对或选错人生道路的问题，而是行路的问题——知道自己在走什么路，知道这条路该怎么走：我们是否贴切着自己的真实天性行路。
在最初“选择人生道路”的时候，没谁一开始通透了解自己的本性，了解周边环境并预见环境的变化。我们一开始不可能通透了解自己的本性，这不在于我们还不够聪明，而在于我们的本性在一开始不够具体，本性有待在盘根错节的实践中向我们逐渐清晰地显现。我们大概可以在这个意义上去理解歌德说他的浮士德是一系列越来越纯粹或纯洁（rein）的努力。我把这个“纯粹”或“纯洁”理解为：自身通透。我以为，这种自身通透是phronesis最核心的含义——洞明自己行在何处，浑然一体地洞明自己和自己所行之路，从而能贴切着自己的真实天性行路，把自己大致保持在天性所指的道路上。

《艺术哲学》是“一部有关艺术、历史及人类文化的巨著”，“采用的不是一般教科书的形式，而是以渊博精深之见解指出艺术发展的主要潮流”。丹纳主张研究学问，应“从事实出发，不从主义出发；不是提出教训而是探求规律，证明规律”。他认为物质文明与精神文明的性质面貌都取决于种族、环境、时代三大因素。从这原则出发，阐扬了意大利、尼德兰和古的艺术流派。最后一编“艺术中的理想”，为丹纳的美学。全书不但条分缕析，明白晓畅，而且富有热情，充满形象，色彩富丽，绝无一般理论文章的枯索沉闷之弊。
《艺术哲学》插图珍藏本分图本与文本两卷，图本共精选五百二十二幅，其中彩图四百八十四幅，全部由老一辈摄影家，八十高龄的陈渊先生精心翻拍而成。

G. H. Hardy was one of this century's finest mathematical thinkers, renowned among his contemporaries as a 'real mathematician ... the purest of the pure'. He was also, as C. P. Snow recounts in his Foreword, 'unorthodox, eccentric, radical, ready to talk about anything'. This 'apology', written in 1940 as his mathematical powers were declining, offers a brilliant and engaging account of mathematics as very much more than a science; when it was first published, Graham Greene hailed it alongside Henry James's notebooks as 'the best account of what it was like to be a creative artist'. C. P. Snow's Foreword gives sympathetic and witty insights into Hardy's life, with its rich store of anecdotes concerning his collaboration with the brilliant Indian mathematician Ramanujan, his aphorisms and idiosyncrasies, and his passion for cricket. This is a unique account of the fascination of mathematics and of one of its most compelling exponents in modern times.

这部极具原创性的著作，通过对劳动、工作和行动；权力、暴力和体力；地球和世界，以及财产和财富等诸概念的区分，强调了人在面临现代社会高度科技化、自动化和经济现代化情境下，仍然具有的“复数性”和开端启新的行动能力，从而重树人们对于人类事务的信念和希望。这本曾被欢呼为“参与式民主的教科书”，将批判的目光投向我们当前认为理所当然的思考和行为方式。时隔50年，这《人的境况》的原创性仍然像当时一样令人瞩目，并能激发起新的思想和讨论。

The Signature of All Things is Giorgio Agamben’s sustained reflection on method. To reflect on method implies for Agamben an archeological vigilance: a persistent form of thinking whose path is to expose, examine, and elaborate that which remains obscure, unthematized, even unsaid, in an author’s thought. To be archeologically vigilant, then, is to return to, even invent, a method attuned to a “world supported by a thick plot of resemblances and sympathies, analogies and correspondences.” The range of authors and of topics Agamben collects in this slim but dense volume exemplifies this search to create a science of signatures that exceeds either a semiology or hermeneutics vainly attempting to determine the pure and unmarked signs that signify univocally, neutrally, and eternally.
Three conceptual figures organize this treatise and the advent of Agamben’s own new method: the paradigm, the signature, and archeology. Each chapter is devoted to an investigation of one of these concepts whose genealogy Agamben carefully constructs transhistorically and from an interdisciplinary perspective. And at each moment of the text, Agamben pays tribute to Michel Foucault whose methods he rethinks and effectively uses to reformulate the logic of the concepts he isolates. The Signature of All Things reveals once again, how and why, Agamben is one of the most innovative thinkers writing today.

从泰坦尼克号的沉没到希区柯克的影片，从瓦格纳的歌剧到海因莱因的科幻，从拉康到福科，从黑格尔到马克思，从重大政治事件到犹太人的笑谈，从狗智主义到排犹主义，从排泄问题到神学思辨……齐泽克娓娓道来，令人尽享阅读的快感。在这部极具原创性和挑衅性的著作中，齐泽克概括了欲望的原理，把握了无意识的特质，解剖了意识形态的崇高客体，洞悉了“后现代”社会和主体的秘密。
本书是齐泽克的开山之作、种子之作和奠基之作，是了解其全部思想的门户和索引。他后来的思想皆源于此，均为本书的扩展和注释。

在各种宗教中，佛教的宗教哲学内涵最为丰富多彩。本卷简要地论述了佛教哲学的构成和流派、历史演变以及重要著作，并就佛教哲学的人生价值观、宇宙要素论、宇宙结构论、宇宙生成论以及本体论、认识论的基本内容进行了探讨和阐述，以此凸现佛教哲学体系的总体思想风貌和理论特质。全书还阐释了佛教的“空”、“平等”、“慈悲”等重要哲学范畴，并对儒、佛的人生哲学以及中、印佛教思维方式的不同特点作了比较，最后还讨论了中国佛教哲学的现代价值，以助于加深对中国佛教哲学的整体认识。

Oxford Philosophical Texts Series Editor: John Cottingham The Oxford Philosophical Texts series consists of authoritative teaching editions of canonical texts in the history of philosophy from the ancient world down to modern times. Each volume provides a clear, well laid out text together with a comprehensive introduction by a leading specialist, giving the student detailed critical guidance on the intellectual context of the work and the structure and philosophical importance of the main arguments. Endnotes are supplied which provide further commentary on the arguments and explain unfamiliar references and terminology, and a full bibliography and index are also included. The series aims to build up a definitive corpus of key texts in the Western philosophical tradition, which will form a reliable and enduring resource for students and teachers alike. David Hume's aim in writing An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding (1748) was to introduce his philosophy to a European culture in which many educated people read original works of philosophy. He gives an elegant and accessible presentation of strikingly original and challenging views about the limited powers of human understanding, the attractions of scepticism, the compatibility of free will and determinism, and weaknesses in the foundations of religion. Hume's philosophy was highly controversial in the eighteenth century and remains so today. The text printed in this edition is that of the Clarendon critical edition of Hume's works. A substantial introduction by the editor explains the intellectual background to the work and surveys its main themes. The volume also includes detailed explanatory notes on the text, a glossary of terms, a full list of references, and a section of supplementary readings.

This thoroughly and substantially revised second edition explores the full scope and content of secular bioethics. Abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, genetic engineering, informed consent, advance directives, triage decisions, health care reform, and distributive justice are given new and provocative treatments within a systematic reassessment of bioethics as a whole.

This profound appraisal of post-9/11 America considers the conditions of heightened vulnerability and aggression that followed from the attack on the US, and US retaliation. Judith Butler critiques the use of violence that has emerged as a response to loss, and argues that the dislocation of first-world privilege offers instead a chance to imagine a world in which that violence might be minimized and in which interdependency becomes acknowledged as the basis for a global political community. Butler considers the means by which some lives become grief-worthy, while others are perceived as undeserving of grief or even incomprehensible as lives. She discusses the political implications of sovereignty in light of the prisoners in Guantánamo Bay. She argues against the anti-intellectual current of contemporary US patriotism and the power of censorship during times of war. Finally, she takes on the question of when and why anti-semitism is leveled as a charge against those who voice criticisms of the Israeli state. She counters that we have a responsibility to speak out against both Israeli injustices and anti-semitism, and argues against the rhetorical use of the charge of anti-semitism to quell public debate.

In this classic work, Alasdair MacIntyre examines the historical and conceptual roots of the idea of virtue, diagnoses the reasons for its absence in personal and public life, and offers a tentative proposal for its recovery. While the individual chapters are wide-ranging, once pieced together they comprise a penetrating and focused argument about the price of modernity. In the Third Edition prologue, MacIntyre revisits the central theses of the book and concludes that although he has learned a great deal and has supplemented and refined his theses and arguments in other works, he has "as yet found no reason for abandoning the major contentions" of this book. He remains "committed to the thesis that it is only from the standpoint of a very different tradition, one whose beliefs and presuppositions were articulated in their classical form by Aristotle, that we can understand both the genesis and the predicament of moral modernity."

The science fiction genre maintains a remarkable hold on the imagination and enthusiasm of the filmgoing public, captivating large audiences worldwide and garnering ever-larger profits. Science fiction films entertain the possibility of time travel and extraterrestrial visitation and imaginatively transport us to worlds transformed by modern science and technology. They also provide a medium through which questions about personal identity, moral agency, artificial consciousness, and other categories of experience can be addressed. In The Philosophy of Science Fiction Film, distinguished authors explore the storylines, conflicts, and themes of fifteen science fiction film classics, from Metropolis to The Matrix. Editor Steven M. Sanders and a group of outstanding scholars in philosophy, film studies, and other fields raise science fiction film criticism to a new level by penetrating the surface of the films to expose the underlying philosophical arguments, ethical perspectives, and metaphysical views. Sanders's introduction presents an overview and evaluation of each essay and poses questions for readers to consider as they think about the films under discussion.The first section, "Enigmas of Identity and Agency," deals with the nature of humanity as it is portrayed in Blade Runner, Dark City, Frankenstein, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Total Recall. In the second section, "Extraterrestrial Visitation, Time Travel, and Artificial Intelligence," contributors discuss 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Terminator, 12 Monkeys, and The Day the Earth Stood Still and analyze the challenges of artificial intelligence, the paradoxes of time travel, and the ethics of war. The final section, "Brave Newer World: Science Fiction Futurism," looks at visions of the future in Metropolis, The Matrix, Alphaville, and screen adaptations of George Orwell's 1984.

A meditation on escaping the chaos of modern life and rediscovering the luxury of solitude. Winner of the Prix Médicis for nonfiction, The Consolations of the Forest is a Thoreau-esque quest to find solace, taken to the extreme. No stranger to inhospitable places, Sylvain Tesson exiles himself to a wooden cabin on Siberia’s Lake Baikal, a full day’s hike from any "neighbor," with his thoughts, his books, a couple of dogs, and many bottles of vodka for company. Writing from February to July, he shares his deep appreciation for the harsh but beautiful land, the resilient men and women who populate it, and the bizarre and tragic history that has given Siberia an almost mythological place in the imagination. Rich with observation, introspection, and the good humor necessary to laugh at his own folly, Tesson’s memoir is about the ultimate freedom of owning your own time. Only in the hands of a gifted storyteller can an experiment in isolation become an exceptional adventure accessible to all. By recording his impressions in the face of silence, his struggles in a hostile environment, his hopes, doubts, and moments of pure joy in communion with nature, Tesson makes a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary experience relatable. The awe and joy are contagious, and one comes away with the comforting knowledge that "as long as there is a cabin deep in the woods, nothing is completely lost."

《世界图景的机械化》是一部享誉世界的经典科学史名著，曾获得1952年荷兰国家文学奖霍夫特奖。它以机械论观念的产生和对自然的数学描述为主线，深入细致地探讨了从古希腊到牛顿两千多年的科学思想发展，鞭辟入里地分析了使经典物理科学得以产生的各种思想脉络和源流。书中大部分内容都不为国内学界所熟知。它尤其重视原始文本的阅读和复杂概念的厘清，不回避任何繁难之处，这在同类著作中实属罕见。《世界图景的机械化》语言清晰凝练，切中问题要害，值得再三研读，对于科学史和哲学史研究者极有价值，任何对思想和历史感兴趣的人都可以从中受益。
