The present publication is intended to supply a recognised deficiency in our literature—a library edition of the Essays of Montaigne. This great French writer deserves to be regarded as a classic, not only in the land of his birth, but in all countries and in all literatures. His Essays, which are at once the most celebrated and the most permanent of his productions, form a magazine out of which such minds as those of Bacon and Shakespeare did not disdain to help themselves; and, indeed, as Hallam observes, the Frenchman's literary importance largely results from the share which his mind had in influencing other minds, coeval and subsequent. But, at the same time, estimating the value and rank of the essayist, we are not to leave out of the account the drawbacks and the circumstances of the period: the imperfect state of education, the comparative scarcity of books, and the limited opportunities of intellectual intercourse. Montaigne freely borrowed of others, and he has found men willing to borrow of him as freely. We need not wonder at the reputation which he with seeming facility achieved. He was, without being aware of it, the leader of a new school in letters and morals. His book was different from all others which were at that date in the world. It diverted the ancient currents of thought into new channels. It told its readers, with unexampled frankness, what its writer's opinion was about men and things, and threw what must have been a strange kind of new light on many matters but darkly understood. Above all, the essayist uncased himself, and made his intellectual and physical organism public property. He took the world into his confidence on all subjects. His essays were a sort of literary anatomy, where we get a diagnosis of the writer's mind, made by himself at different levels and under a large variety of operating influences. Of all egotists, Montaigne, if not the greatest, was the most fascinating, because, perhaps, he was the least affected and most truthful. What he did, and what he had professed to do, was to dissect his mind, and show us, as best he could, how it was made, and what relation it bore to external objects. He investigated his mental structure as a schoolboy pulls his watch to pieces, to examine the mechanism of the works; and the result, accompanied by illustrations abounding with originality and force, he delivered to his fellow-men in a book. W. C. H. KENSINGTON, November 1877. THE LIFE OF MONTAIGNE The author of the Essays was born, as he informs us himself, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the day, the last of February 1533, at the chateau of St. Michel de Montaigne. His father, Pierre Eyquem, esquire, was successively first Jurat of the town of Bordeaux (1530), Under-Mayor 1536, Jurat for the second time in 1540, Procureur in 1546, and at length Mayor from 1553 to 1556. He was a man of austere probity, who had "a particular regard for honour and for propriety in his person and attire . . . a mighty good faith in his speech, and a conscience and a religious feeling inclining to superstition, rather than to the other extreme. Between 1556 and 1563 an important incident occurred in the life of Montaigne, in the commencement of his romantic friendship with Etienne de la Boetie, whom he had met, as he tells us, by pure chance at some festive celebration in the town. From their very first interview the two found themselves drawn irresistibly close to one another, and during six years this alliance was foremost in the heart of Montaigne, as it was afterwards in his memory, when death had severed it.

"Wilde è profetico sin dalle prima righe, quando denuncia la prevalenza dell’emozione sulla razionalità, male principe del nostro tempo, e poi del pietismo sull’emancipazione, male di tanta politica di pseudo sinistra" (dall'Introduzione di Alfredo Sgarlato). Wilde: ?perché la vita raggiunga la sua più elevata perfezione, ci vuole qualche cosa di più. Ciò che ci vuole è l'individualismo?, ?Utopia? Una carta geografica del mondo in cui non sia segnato il paese dell'Utopia, non varrebbe la pena d'essere guardata, perché vi mancherebbe il paese in cui l'Umanità atterra ogni giorno. Ma non appena v'è sbarcata, ella guarda più lontano, scorge una terra ancora più bella, e spiega di nuovo le vele. Progredire significa realizzare l'Utopia?.

The Prince (Italian: Il Principe) is a political treatise by the Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). But the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of the Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings" Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the Mirror of Princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative, and not only because it was written in Italian rather than Latin. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of his works and the one most responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term. It also helped make "Old Nick" an English term for the devil, and even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. In terms of subject matter it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. In its use of examples who were politically active Italians who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics, another lesser-known work by Machiavelli which The Prince has been compared to is the Life of Castruccio Castracani. The descriptions within The Prince have the general theme of accepting that ends of princes, such as glory, and indeed survival, can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.

Dignità o miseria della natura umana? ?C'è un principio supposto prevalere tra molti che è del tutto incompatibile con ogni virtù o senso morale [...] Questo principio è che ogni benevolenza è mera ipocrisia, l'amicizia un inganno, lo spirito pubblico una farsa, la fedeltà un trucco per procurare fiducia e confidenza; e mentre tutti noi, in fondo, perseguiamo solo il nostro interesse privato, indossiamo questi bei travestimenti in modo da abbassare le difese degli altri ed esporli maggiormente alle nostre astuzie e macchinazioni?...

《东西文化及其哲学》一书初版于1921年，是梁漱溟先生对东西方文化本质的探讨，以及对东西方文化融合可能性的反思。在东西方交流日益频繁的今日，书中的许多思想与见解仍有借鉴意义。作者在《东西文化及其哲学》中提出并且回答了以下几个主要问题：何谓东方化？何谓西方化？中国文化、印度文化以及西方文化的特质为何？文化与生活有着何种关系？东西方文化能否融合，或者融合之道为何？世界未来之文化以及我们今日应持的态度为何？作者得出的基本结论是：对于西方文化及其带来的冲击，东方文化应该在保持自信的前提下，有选择性地学习有利于提升生活品质的东西，而非盲目否定自我、全盘西化。作者的观点在当时的东西文化论战中引起了思想学术界的高度重视。《东西文化及其哲学》一书被认为是现代新儒学的开山之作。

本书从全球化与东西方哲学对话角度探究比较哲学的理论形态、研究方法、问题意识与创新思路，启中西文化融合、中西马哲学会通与中国文化的世界化视域，并在宗教学与伦理学语境中比较中西哲学传统中的若干重要概念。由于立足比较哲学的学术前沿，从破解比较哲学理论难题的实际需要出发，本书呈现了当前比较哲学与比较文化研究中的重大问题，凸显了比较哲学的创新价值，力图为构建人类命运共同体与实现中国哲学的国际认同贡献绵薄之力。

我们出世，我们生活，我们一路上受苦，然后我们死去，此后永远地被抹除。我们的存在不过是宇宙时空中的一次小小波动。难怪很多人要问?：“这一切到底是为了什么？” 我在本书中主张，对上述问题的正确回答是?：“说到底，不为什么。”尽管有不多的慰藉，人的境况实际上仍是一种悲剧性的困境，这种困境无人可逃，因为困境不仅在于生，也在于死。 …… 书店里有整片的“自助”书籍区及其他鸡汤读物，却没有“无力自助”区和“悲观主义”区，因为这类思想的市场规模微乎其微。 我不是在认真主张我们无力自助。我是认为存在一些事情，我们的确对之无能为力，但即使依据一种现实的悲观看法，我们仍然可以做些事来减轻我们的困境。 一本悲观的书*有可能慰藉到的对象，是已经有同样看法却因此感到孤独或觉得自己有病的人。若能发觉有人跟自己看法相同，而且这些看法有不错的论证来支撑，这些人或许能因此得到安慰。 …… 无可否认，找到正确的道路很难，因为既要避免大而无当的宣言和过度修辞造成的故弄玄虚，也要避免深奥、乏味、细而又细的条分缕析。换言之，对复杂问题做出易懂、有趣而严格的探讨，并非易事。……不过，本书的写作确实有个目标，那就是既让有悟性的非专业读者能读、能懂，又足够严格，能满足构成本书期望读者群的另一部分人，即专业哲学家（及有志于哲学专业的读者）。但愿我取得了恰切的平衡。?
