Un mare vinovat f?r? vin?, sihastrul de la Sils-Maria a dinamitat g?ndirea secolului al XIX-lea, figur?nd – al?turi de Dostoievski – printre uria?ii profe?i ai omenirii, care au proorocit nenorocirile ce-au urmat, crimele ?n numele unei idei, rasismul, precum ?i devastatorul totalitarism ro?u. Dincolo de bine ?i de r?u e una dintre capodoperele g?nditorului de la na?terea c?ruia se va s?rb?tori ?n toamna anului 2014 (15 octombrie) 170 de ani.

Aceast? culegere ?nm?nuncheaz? articole ap?rute ?n perioada cuprins? ?ntre vara lui 2014 ?i sf?r?itul anului 2016. Facem acest efort, deoarece omul de azi este at?t de gr?bit, ?nc?t poate nu reu?e?te s? urm?reasc? ni?te articole ce apar pe saituri, care se ?nscriu ?n ceea ce se nume?te la ora actual? media de alternativ?, adic? una care merge ?mpotriva curentului general, dominat de eurolatrie, occidentomanie, spirit de vasalitate ?i chingi (neo)liberale. Selec?ia f?cut? a vizat doar acele articole, care dep??esc cadrul unor polemici de moment, circumstan?iale, mai pu?in relevante pentru viziunea autorului asupra unor procese mai generale. Printre acestea se reg?se?te ?i o serie de recenzii sau prezent?ri mai ample ale unor c?r?i ap?rute ?n diverse ??ri, ?n englez? sau francez?, dar ?i ?n rom?n?, pe care le-am g?sit utile pentru ?n?elegerea unor fenomene de ordin geopolitic, economic ?i cultural, care marcheaz? lumea de azi, afect?nd ?n mod direct interesele na?ionale, identitatea colectiv? ?i perspectivele noastre de afirmare ?i d?inuire ?n istorie. Au fost incluse ?n acest volum ?i c?teva texte semnificative, traduse din rus? ?i francez?, apar?in?nd unor g?nditori de ieri ?i de azi, care consun? perfect cu viziunea autorului.

Volumul constituie o fereastr? larg deschis? c?tre documentele extrase din arhivele cenzurii. Dezv?luirile explozive, atestate ?n aceste acte secrete, sunt menite s? lumineze o fa?? a istoriei rom?nilor, p?n? acum mai bine de un deceniu ascuns?.Cartea se adreseaz? elevilor, studen?ilor, precum ?i publicului larg de cititori.

O parte dintre noi au tr?it vremuri grele pe care uneori le mai vis?m, le povestim sau despre care scriem ?nc?, f?r? patima cumplit? care i-a cuprins pe profitorii de atunci, care ?i ast?zi ne fac r?u, ?i chiar mai r?u dec?t ?pe vremea aceea“, cum se zice. E drept c? noi am prev?zut-o ?ntr-un fel sau altul, spun?nd-o celor care se-ncumetau s? ne asculte, f?r? preten?ia, Doamne, fere?te!, de a ne considera ?i disiden?i, cum o f?cur? cei men?iona?i mai sus. Previziunile noastre s-au bazat pe o anume cunoa?tere a mersului istoriei, care, cum se ?tie, se tot repet?, cu mici deosebiri, fire?te. Oricum, ceva cuno?tin?e de economie politic? nu ne stric? nici ?n zilele noastre, pentru a ne da seama de jocul frecvent al trecerii de la economia politic? la politica economic? ?i, mai ales, al trecerilor de la un sistem sau or?nduire economic? la alta ?i invers, cum le-am tr?it noi: de la capitalism la socialism ?i viceversa. Ca un fel de ciud??enie, au r?mas considera?iunile despre noul eon sau noua er? (New Age) ale filosofului din Lancr?m, mai ales c? acestea s-au realizat abia dup? c?derea comunismului, pe care n-o mai prev?zuse Blaga. (Alexandru Surdu) Eseuri filosofice de acela?i autor 1.

THIS BOOK, First published anonymously, March 1880, and soon in various unauthorized editions. It wasn't until the 1925 edition that Adams was listed as author. Henry Adams remarked (ironically as usual), "The wholesale piracy of Democracy was the single real triumph of my life."—it was very popular, as readers tried to guess who the author was and who the characters really were. ON the first of December, Mrs. Lee took the train for Washington, and before five o'clock that evening she was entering her newly hired house on Lafayette Square. She shrugged her shoulders with a mingled expression of contempt and grief at the curious barbarism of the curtains and the wall-papers, and her next two days were occupied with a life-and-death struggle to get the mastery over her surroundings. In this awful contest the interior of the doomed house suffered as though a demon were in it; not a chair, not a mirror, not a carpet, was left untouched, and in the midst of the worst confusion the new mistress sat, calm as the statue of Andrew Jackson in the square under her eyes, and issued her orders with as much decision as that hero had ever shown. Towards the close of the second day, victory crowned her forehead. A new era, a nobler conception of duty and existence, had dawned upon that benighted and heathen residence. The wealth of Syria and Persia was poured out upon the melancholy Wilton carpets; embroidered comets and woven gold from Japan and Teheran depended from and covered over every sad stuff-curtain; a strange medley of sketches, paintings, fans, embroideries, and porcelain was hung, nailed, pinned, or stuck against the wall; finally the domestic altarpiece, the mystical Corot landscape, was hoisted to its place over the parlour fire, and then all was over. The setting sun streamed softly in at the windows, and peace reigned in that redeemed house and in the heart of its mistress. "I think it will do now, Sybil," said she, surveying the scene.

Via?a fiec?ruia dintre noi se desf??oar? pe fundalul unor nara?iuni?sau teorii filosofice discrete ?i insesizabile, care ne ofer? sens ?i ne ?ndrum? ?n momentele de cump?n?.Au o istorie fascinant? ?i uneori extrem de agitat?, care st? m?rturie?pentru str?daniile noastre de a ?n?elege lumea ?i de a o transforma ?ntr-un mediu familiar.Cartea de fa?? ne prezint? istoriile a trei dintre aceste nara?iuni,?cunoscute mai mult filosofilor, cu toate c? ele ?ncearc? s? ofere r?spuns?la ?ntreb?ri tulbur?toare ?i de?o importan?? cov?r?itoare pentru?noi to?i: de ce exist? lumea, ?n ce const? identitatea persoanei, ce?este realitatea.

Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) este o figur? important? a filosofiei secolului XIX ?i unul dintre prefa?atorii principalelor curente de g?ndire din secolul XX, fiind considerat fondatorul pragmatismului american. Cele dou? eseuri prezentate aici, primele din seria cunoscut? sub numele Ilustr?ri ale logicii ?tiin?ei, sunt reprezentative pentru opera sa, caracterizat? de profunzimi ?i subtilit??i specifice unui g?nditor care beneficiaz? ?i de preg?tirea unui om de ?tiin?a.Cu toate c? sunt uneori pur abstracte, observa?iile privitoare la convingeri ?i idei r?m?n, indiferent de sistem, puncte principale de sprijin pentru distinc?ia ?ntre g?ndirea s?n?toas? ?i cea viciat?.“ Este groaznic s? vezi cum o singur? idee neclar?, o singur? formul? f?r? ?n?eles, care se furi?eaz? ?n capul unui t?n?r, va ac?iona uneori ca un obstacol de materie inert? ?ntr-o arter?, ?mpiedic?nd circula?ia ?n creier ?i condamn?ndu-?i victima spre ofilire ?n plenitudinea vigorii intelectuale ?i ?n mijlocul abunden?ei intelectuale.“ - Charles Sanders Peirce

Critic erudit ?i pamfletar de for??, Paul Zarifopol (1874-1934) a fost un fin observator al omului ?i al fibrei care alc?tuie?te ?es?turile sociale profunde. Volumul de fa?? cuprinde eseuri care au r?mas de o actualitate acut?, chiar ?i la aproape un secol dup? ce au fost scrise.Coroziv ?i doct, discursul aduce ?n fa?a cititorului concepte esen?iale pentru morala ?i politica mai mult sau mai pu?in balcanice ale Rom?niei interbelice. Lumina ?n care ne sunt prezentate tipul politic ?i geniul organizator, de pild?, ne ofer? at?t senza?ia unei glacia?iuni temporale, c?t ?i pe aceea a unei familiarit??i inefabile.

"...az els? magyar regény, amely g?rbe tük?rben, de megért? szeretettel mutatja be a mai társadalom társkeres? igyekezetét." (Tímár Péter, filmrendez?) "Nem érdemes letenni!" (Schell Judit, színészn?)Hogyan fogjunk pasit negyven f?l?tt? Ahogy ennek a k?nyvnek a f?szerepl?i, talán te is úgy próbálod megtalálni az igazit újra és újra. Eltér? jellemek, eltér? sorsok. Egyben azonban megegyeznek: mindannyian várják még a ?nagy szerelmet”, mik?zben megmosolyogtatóan csetlenek-botlanak a párkeresés labirintusában. Nem akarják elhinni, hogy a mesebeli királyfi nem létezik, ezért kicsit pironkodva bár, de fejest ugranak az internetes társkeresés mélyvizébe, és tucatnyi ?bénázást” k?vet?en rátalálnak a boldogságukra. Vagy mégsem? Netán azt is megbánják, hogy belekezdtek? Létezik-e boldog párkapcsolat, ha már elmúltál negyven? Békésy Erika nem próbál elmélyült társadalomrajzot adni, mégis felvillant helyzeteket a mai magyar valóságból. Szatirikus hangvétel, perg? ritmus, komikus helyzetek, groteszkbe hajló figurák, és humor, humor, humor. Ezek jellemzik a felh?tlen szórakozást nyújtó regényt.

本书叙述了佛陀自住世至涅槃生命的全过程。包括佛陀住世时的印度社会，佛陀的家世，佛陀出家和修行的经过，佛陀的传法和教团的成立，佛陀在世时所得的尊荣，佛陀的涅槃，等等。

《星云禅话》系为佛光山山宗长星云大师应各方对于禅的需渴反应，将刊载于报纸的“星云禅话”编集成书。该书从已出版的禅话一至四集，精心选辑了一百三十二则公案，希望透过生活性、人间性的“禅话”，为忙碌、紧张的今日社会，投下一剂清凉散。

本书主要是透过经典中记载的佛陀的平等思想、教育方法，客观探讨佛教的女性观。 其重有四： 一、佛教兴起时代的印度社会和女性：主要以印度低落的女性地位和不平等的四姓差别制度为背景，一一说明佛陀的众生平等观，从而奠定佛教的男女平等思想。 二、原始佛教时代的女性观：由原始经典中一再出现的母亲、妻子、媳妇、女人四种形象，分别说明佛陀对女性的教化，以及佛教对在家女性理想典范的树立，而从生活伦理中显示男女的平等性。 三、小乘佛教时代的女性观：对女人五障说、佛的三十二相和女人不能成佛说等思想做一全面深的探讨，以澄清佛陀的平等真义。 四、大乘佛教时代的女性观：由诸多经典中示现的女性成佛观、师子吼乃至大乘菩萨与女性的关系，显现佛教对女权的倡导和发展，以及女性的智慧和慈悲的特质。

煮云法师关于佛七的示，近代念佛的实录，记载佛七中的各种事迹，可作为研究近代念佛法门演变的材料。

《杂阿含经》是以言行录的体裁，记述佛陀和他的弟子们的修行与弘法活动。经中揭示了佛教的基本教义，如缘起、十二因缘、三法印、四圣谛、八正道、四念处等，故被称为“佛教圣典”。由于《杂阿含经》不重玄理、义解，重视的是修行实践，因而诵读此经，有助于现代人修行佛法。

《华严五教章》是华严宗创始人法藏宗立教的论著，内容丰富，思辨性极高，是华严宗哲学思想的著名代表作。此书体系完备，是研究华严学的门及书，也可说是佛教概论书。

《华严金师子章》乃唐代佛教华严宗三祖法藏贤首大师为武则天讲解《华严经》的“十重玄门”、“六相圆融”等教义时，为了使其能够理解空与色、心与境之间的种种关系，法藏大师以殿前的金狮子为譬喻，故有了《华严金师子章》。《华严金师子章》是由法藏大师为武则天讲解《华严经》的记录稿整理而成，此文虽短，但却集中简要地概括了佛教的核心思想。《华严金师子章》在论述真理的方式上简单通俗，层次分明，但又细致微，理精髓。浓缩了《华严经》的思想精华，涵盖了佛教的核心思想。此经不仅可以使学佛者了解佛教的真实义理，而且为学佛者获得究竟的圆满和解脱，指明了道路和方向。

《胜鬘经》弘传于南北朝，备受教内教外的重视。本经为大乘如来藏系经典中代表作之一。内容叙述胜?N夫人对释尊立十大誓愿、三大愿，并自说大乘一乘法门，阐释圣谛、法身、如来藏等。 　经中认为三乘之教归于大乘之一乘，得一乘即得如来法身。众生虽被烦恼所缠，然其本性清净无垢，与如来同等，故皆具有如来之性（佛性、如来藏）。且以如来藏为基础，即使在生死轮回之世界，亦有获得涅槃之可能。本经之一乘思想，即是承继法华经者，而成为大乘佛教之重所在。又本经之特色乃在以在家妇人说法，故与维摩居士所说之“维摩经”，并为大乘佛教在家佛教之代表作。　全书共分十五章，包括如来真实功德、十受、三愿、摄受、一乘、无边圣谛、如来藏、法身、空义隐覆真实、一谛、一依、颠倒真实、自性清净、真子、胜?N等。

公元前500—前200年，文化中国的诸子时代，确立了中国人生活和思考的轴心。春秋的诸侯和家臣都不重要，主角是“素王”孔子，然而孔子的“礼”在战国刚刚到来时就饱受挫折，兵家、纵横家以用计取代礼，其后有变法，西河之学与稷下之学交相辉映，启了热闹的诸子时代。孟子、庄子、老子、墨子互相辩驳，他们创造的思想观念，至今流淌在中国人的血液中。这个时代终结于“儒家圣化”和“儒门王圣运动”，终局也就是荀子的门徒韩非子的帝王学。 ------------- 《文化的江山》系列共3辑12册，中信出版集团·见识城邦出品： 第—辑：文化中国的起源 文化的江山01：文化中国的来源 文化的江山02：王朝中国的确立 文化的江山03：中国风雅颂 文化的江山04：中国轴心期 第二辑：走出王朝的中国史 文化的江山05：走向世界历史的国度 文化的江山06：通往文艺复兴的岁月 文化的江山07：追求思想共和的时代 文化的江山08：近代化与中国大航海 第三辑：告别晚清的近代史 文化的江山09：世界近代史的中国影响 文化的江山10：被西洋与东洋夹的天下 文化的江山11：告别晚清的中国近代史 文化的江山12：文化中国里的新文化运动

古代日本人从中国带去汉字，也带去了文明与化。 ? 汉字被用于记录日语，在日本人的手中，逐渐发展出不同于中文汉字的特。有些汉字按照古汉语发音，有些按照日语发音；有些字写法与汉语相同，意义却不同；日本人为了方便书写、表义，甚至创造出新的汉字，称为“国字”；为了翻译西语，创造出新的汉语词汇，后来又传回中国，成为今天我们的常用词。 在日本，汉字的形态丰富多样，有广为流传的错字，有无人看懂的“幽灵文字”，有特定阶层使用的语相文字，也有文学作品中出现的个人造字，还有广告招牌上的艺术字……日本汉字学家通过大量的数据统计、资料搜集和田野调查，带领我们走这个既陌生又熟悉的文字世界。
