本书以具体的哲学问题为切入点，采用问答的形式，介绍基本的中国哲学常识，包括人物、学派、事件、命题、学说、经典等几大方面。在表述上，浅入浅出，不作过多的理论探讨，力求将知识的严谨性与表述的趣味性结合起来。

《儒学小史》是北大哲学系教授干春松面向大众读者普及儒学发展历程的令人倍感亲切的一部小书。此书以历时性结构组织全书章节，全面梳理儒学从先秦时期直至现代的发展历史。作者从儒家学派的特始着手，探讨分析不同时期“儒”的定位，在下来的每一章节内均概括提炼出不同历史时期儒学发展的几个关键问题与角度展论述，如先秦儒学中“仁”和“礼”的精神、孟子与荀子的学说，汉代儒学发展的关键人物董仲舒、魏晋玄学与儒学的关系、宋明理学、清代汉学与宋学等，并以较大篇幅着重对现代新儒学之概念、儒学发展的新方向以及新儒学谱系行了阐释。全书结构简洁，脉络清晰，不仅全方位地描述了儒家思想的内涵，勾勒出一幅儒学生发、演变的历史全景，更体现了作者对儒学分期的独特思考与对儒学使命的殷切关注。

汇集了南怀瑾先生讲述佛家经典的著述。内容多样，有的讲如何参禅、禅与生命认知，有的讲经典佛经如《金刚经》《圆觉经》《维摩诘经》等，有的讲佛法修持，有的讲佛教发展的历史。学佛须有善知识指引，南先生以过来人的身份，对于理解佛经常见的障碍和学佛修持中容易出现的疑惑及容易走上的歧途，指点得尤为细致。

《老子》《庄子》是道家学术思想的源头和代表作，二者对普通读者来说，也常有一种难以言说的神秘和难解之感。南怀瑾先生讲《老》《庄》，不斤斤于个别语译，游乎经史子集之中，不论出世入世，评比精义，更以禅宗的方式，随说随破，提示其出入禅道的旨意，可以说是与《老》《庄》气质接近的讲解。

南怀瑾先生一生极为重视教育，尤其重视青少年教育问题。这两本书主要谈的就是教育以及教育与文化的问题。他考察了中国两千多年教育概况，并着重讲述了20世纪以来东西文化的交流、新旧教育制度及思想的改革演变，指出，这一切乃是历史趋势中自然的现象，是文化思想在变动时代必起的波澜，也是人类历史分段生命中当然的病态。并呼吁应正本清源地反思家庭教育、社会教育和学校教育，修正学风，建立一番复兴文化的新气象。分析如抽丝剥茧层层深入，论述精辟句句发人深省。

《启蒙运动三书——社会契约论》，启近现代民主政治奠基之作，1789年法国大革命的先声！法国国家格言“自由、平等、博爱”的来源。《启蒙运动三书——社会契约论》，是一部政治哲学著作。它探讨的是政治权利的原理，它的主旨是为人民民主主权的建立奠定理论基础。它的问世，是时代的需要，是人类社会向前步的产物；它正确回答了历史程提出的问题：法国命运的航船驶向何方。人类是幸运的，人民是伟大的，在历史发展的紧要关头，总有人指引前的道路，人民总能及时做出正确的抉择。在18世纪的法国政治思想领域里，存在着三种改革国家政治制度的学说：孟德斯鸠主张立宪君主制，伏尔泰主张明的君主制，而卢梭主张民主共和制。

1949年10月至1976年10月，是马克思主义中国化历史程中承前启后的重要时期。1956年社会主义改造基本完成，中国从新民主主义社会社会主义初级阶段，成功实现了中国历*深刻*伟大的社会变革。中国共产党沿着马克思主义基本原理与中国实际“第二次结合”这条主线，围绕“什么是社会主义，怎样建设社会主义”这一时代主题，始了全新的探索历程，其中，既有凯歌行的峥嵘岁月，也有挫折失误的曲折历程，取得了独创性理论成果和巨大成就，为当代中国一切发展步奠定了根本政治前提和制度基础，为新的历史时期创中国特色社会主义提供了宝贵经验、理论准备、物质基础。本书全面阐述了这一时期中国共产党人探索中国社会主义革命和建设道路的曲折历程与经验教训，系统展示了以*为核心的党的*代中央领导集体探索中国社会主义道路、马克思主义基本原理与中国实际“第二次结合”程中的理论成果。

金岳霖未像康德那样把知识论看作是形而上学的基础，反而把形而上学或本体论看作知识论的基础，在“假设”知识关系是外在关系之后，以“正觉”说为基础，以罕见的逻辑思维和建构知识系统的能力，在传统缺乏逻辑学以及以之为基础或工具的中国文化中，运用严格的逻辑分析这一现代哲学的方法，创建出了自己独树一帜的庞大的知识论体系。

规范性是当代规范伦理学的一个核心观念。本书深探究了人类理性层面的规范性与某种植根于自然化的深层规范性之间的关系，考察了作为元概念/范畴的规范性对一系列相关理论概念、题旨的某种奠基性作用，以展示其解释力及整合力。

Learning how to build and program your own robots with the most popular open source robotics programming framework About This Book Get to know the fundamentals of ROS and apply its concepts to real examples Learn how to write robotics applications without getting bogged down in hardware problems Learn to implement best practices in ROS development Who This Book Is For This book is for robotic enthusiasts, researchers and professional robotics engineers who would like to build robot applications using ROS. It gives the robotics beginner and the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. Basic knowledge of GNU/Linux and the ability to write simple applications is assumed, but no robotics knowledge, practical or theoretical, is needed. What You Will Learn Control a robot without requiring a PhD in robotics Simulate and control a robot arm Control a flying robot Send your robot on an independent mission Learning how to control your own robots with external devices Program applications running on your robot Extend ROS itself Extend ROS with the MATLAB Robotics System Toolbox In Detail ROS is a robust robotics framework that works regardless of hardware architecture or hardware origin. It standardizes most layers of robotics functionality from device drivers to process control and message passing to software package management. But apart from just plain functionality, ROS is a great platform to learn about robotics itself and to simulate, as well as actually build, your first robots. This does not mean that ROS is a platform for students and other beginners; on the contrary, ROS is used all over the robotics industry to implement flying, walking and diving robots, yet implementation is always straightforward, and never dependent on the hardware itself. ROS Robotics has been the standard introduction to ROS for potential professionals and hobbyists alike since the original edition came out; the second edition adds a gradual introduction to all the goodness available with the Kinetic Kame release. By providing you with step-by-step examples including manipulator arms and flying robots, the authors introduce you to the new features. The book is intensely practical, with space given to theory only when absolutely necessary. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience on controlling robots with the best possible framework. Style and approach ROS Robotics By Example, Second Edition gives the robotics beginner as well as the ROS newbie an immensely practical introduction to robot building and robotics application coding. ROS translates as "robot operating system"; you will learn how to control a robot via devices and configuration files, but you will also learn how to write robot applications on the foundation of this operating system.

The Beast in the Jungle is one of James' finest short novels touching upon such universal themes as loneliness, fate, love and death. The story can be interpreted as a confession or parable about James' own life. He never married and possibly never experienced a consummated sexual relationship. Although he did enjoy a thorough experience of aesthetic creativity, it is possible that he still regretted what he called the essential loneliness of his life. The parable of the protagonist, John Marcher and his peculiar destiny speaks about the worth and meaning of human life.

A son was born to a poor peasant. He rejoiced and went to a neighbour to ask him to stand as godfather to the boy. The neighbour refused. He did not want to be godfather to a poor man’s son. So the peasant went to another neighbour and he, too, refused. He walked from house to house, but could find no one who would be godfather to his son, so he set out to another village.
