Wild Apples
Wild Apples
Henry David Thoreau
¥40.79
It is remarkable how closely the history of the Apple-tree is connected with that of man. The geologist tells us that the order of the Rosaceae, which includes the Apple, also the true Grasses, and the Labiatae, or Mints, were introduced only a short time previous to the appearance of man on the globe.
Canoeing in the wilderness
Canoeing in the wilderness
Henry David Thoreau
¥40.79
At the time Thoreau made this wilderness canoe trip he was forty years old. The record of the journey is the latter half of his The Maine Woods, which is perhaps the finest idyl of the forest ever written. It is particularly charming in its blending of meditative and poetic fancies with the minute description of the voyager’s experiences.
Protagoras
Protagoras
Plato
¥40.79
The Protagoras, like several of the Dialogues of Plato, is put into the mouth of Socrates, who describes a conversation which had taken place between himself and the great Sophist at the house of Callias—'the man who had spent more upon the Sophists than all the rest of the world'—and in which the learned Hippias and the grammarian Prodicus had also shared, as well as Alcibiades and Critias, both of whom said a few words—in the presence of a distinguished company consisting of disciples of Protagoras and of leading Athenians belonging to the Socratic circle.
On Generation and Corruption
On Generation and Corruption
Aristotle
¥40.79
Our next task is to study coming-to-be and passing-away. We are to distinguish the causes, and to state the definitions, of these processes considered in general-as changes predicable uniformly of all the things that come-to-be and pass-away by nature. Further, we are to study growth and 'alteration'. We must inquire what each of them is; and whether 'alteration' is to be identified with coming-to-be, or whether to these different names there correspond two separate processes with distinct natures.
The Athenian Constitution
The Athenian Constitution
Aristotle
¥40.79
The Constitution of the Athenians describes the political system of ancient Athens. The treatise was composed between 330 and 322 BC.
The Critique of Practical Reason
The Critique of Practical Reason
Immanuel Kant
¥40.79
The Critique of Practical Reason follows on from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and deals with his moral philosophy. The second Critique exercised a decisive influence over the subsequent development of the field of ethics and moral philosophy, beginning with Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Doctrine of Science and becoming, during the 20th century, the principal reference point for deontological moral philosophy.
Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals
Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals
Immanuel Kant
¥40.79
The first of Immanuel Kant's mature works on moral philosophy and remains one of the most influential in the field. Kant conceives his investigation as a work of foundational ethics, one that clears the ground for future research by explaining the core concepts and principles of moral theory and showing that they are normative for rational agents. Kant aspires to nothing less than this: to lay bare the fundamental principle of morality and show that it applies to us.
The Great Learning
The Great Learning
Confucius
¥40.79
What the great learning teaches, is to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence. The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.
The Alexandrian Wars: English and Latin Language
The Alexandrian Wars: English and Latin Language
Julius Caesar
¥40.79
When the war broke out at Alexandria, Caesar sent to Rhodes, Syria, and Cilicia, for all his fleet; and summoned archers from Crete, and cavalry from Malchus, king of the Nabatheans. He likewise ordered military engines to be provided, corn to be brought, and forces dispatched to him. Meanwhile he daily strengthened his fortifications by new works; and such parts of the town as appeared less tenable were strengthened with testudos and mantelets. Openings were made in the walls, through which the battering-rams might play; and the fortifications were extended over whatever space was covered with ruins, or taken by force. For Alexandria is in a manner secure from fire, because the houses are all built without joists or wood, and are all vaulted, and roofed with tile or pavement.
Gorgias
Gorgias
Plato
¥40.79
In several of the dialogues of Plato, doubts have arisen among his interpreters as to which of the various subjects discussed in them is the main thesis. The speakers have the freedom of conversation; no severe rules of art restrict them, and sometimes we are inclined to think, with one of the dramatis personae in the Theaetetus, that the digressions have the greater interest. Yet in the most irregular of the dialogues there is also a certain natural growth or unity; the beginning is not forgotten at the end, and numerous allusions and references are interspersed, which form the loose connecting links of the whole.
The Civil Wars, Book 3
The Civil Wars, Book 3
Julius Caesar
¥40.79
Julius Caesar, holding the election as dictator, was himself appointed consul with Publius Servilius; for this was the year in which it was permitted by the laws that he should be chosen consul. This business being ended, as credit was beginning to fail in Italy, and the debts could not be paid, he determined that arbitrators should be appointed: and that they should make an estimate of the possessions and properties of the debtors, how much they were worth before the war, and that they should be handed over in payment to the creditors. This he thought the most likely method to remove and abate the apprehension of an abolition of debt, the usual consequence of civil wars and dissensions, and to support the credit of the debtors.
Laws
Laws
Plato
¥40.79
The Laws are discussed by three representatives of Athens, Crete, and Sparta. The Athenian, as might be expected, is the protagonist or chief speaker, while the second place is assigned to the Cretan, who, as one of the leaders of a new colony, has a special interest in the conversation. At least four-fifths of the answers are put into his mouth. The Spartan is every inch a soldier, a man of few words himself, better at deeds than words. The Athenian talks to the two others, although they are his equals in age, in the style of a master discoursing to his scholars; he frequently praises himself; he entertains a very poor opinion of the understanding of his companions.
Phaedrus
Phaedrus
Plato
¥40.79
The Phaedrus is closely connected with the Symposium, and may be regarded either as introducing or following it. The two Dialogues together contain the whole philosophy of Plato on the nature of love, which in the Republic and in the later writings of Plato is only introduced playfully or as a figure of speech. But in the Phaedrus and Symposium love and philosophy join hands, and one is an aspect of the other. The spiritual and emotional part is elevated into the ideal, to which in the Symposium mankind are described as looking forward, and which in the Phaedrus, as well as in the Phaedo, they are seeking to recover from a former state of existence.

Commentaries On Living: Third Series
Commentaries On Living: Third Series
Jiddu Krishnamurti
¥40.79
In this series of commentaries J. Krishnamurti, one of the great thinkers of our time, touches upon many human problems—ourhopes, our fears, our illusions, our beliefs, our prejudices—and in the simplest language seems to pierce to their roots.“The sheer simplicity is breathtaking. The reader is given, in one paragraph, often in one sentence, enough to keep him exploring, questioning, thinking for days.” –Anne Morrow Lindbergh.“The insight, spiritual and poetic, of these commentaries is as simply expressed as it is searching in its demand.” –Times Literary Supplement (London).“Krishnamurti is no other than he seems, a free man, one of the first quality, growing older as diamonds do but the gem-like flame not dating, and alive in these Commentaries. It is a treasure.” –Francis Hacket, The New Republic.J. Krishnamurti was born in South India and educated in England.Hailed by many from early youth as a spiritual teacher, he rejected adulation and leadership in order to encourage spiritualfreedom and understanding. He devoted his life to speaking and counseling, traveling in the U.S.A., Europe, India and other parts of the world, addressing thousands of people, always pointing the way to individual discovery of truth.These Commentaries on Living are published in three volumes:First, Second, and Third Series.

Krishnamurti claimed allegiance to no caste, nationality or religion and was bound by no tradition. He traveled the world and spoke spontaneously to large audiences until the end of his life at age ninety. He said man has to free himself of all fear, conditioning, authority and dogma through self-knowledge and this will bring about order and psychological mutation.

荷尔德林的新神话(“经典与解释”第4期)
刘小枫 陈少明 主编
¥14.06
无论对远行人的回忆还是对恋人的回忆,回忆的原始本质都次达于澄明。回忆其实就是使什么东西固定下来,亦即一门心思扑向一种牢固的东西。 但是“心灵”这个词还是藏有另一种劝慰, 等到哪一天我们不再按人类学的观来思考人,我们就会重新听到这种劝慰的呼唤。心灵乃是[心绪、性情]这种东西的源泉和场所,又是它的构造和声音,它把我们抛呈现为诸般形态的亲密性之中,诸如冷静和贫穷、温厚和高尚、优美和无私、宽容和忍让。

道德哲学的问题
(德)阿多诺
¥19.99
本书据阿多诺在1963年5月至7月的讲课稿整理而成,全书围绕着对康德道德哲学的评说而展,并结合阿多诺自身的体会,对整个西方哲学传统中的道德哲学予以了理论反思。在本书中,阿多诺分析了道德哲学与伦理学的区别,认为伦理学概念缩小和简化了对道德或伦理问题的深刻思考,因此他反对用伦理学概念代替道德哲学的概念,主张坚持使用康德意义上的“道德哲学”概念。同时,阿多诺不仅认为道德哲学是一种实践哲学,还认为在更深层次上,道德哲学也是一种理论哲学,因为理论和实践在根本上都来自生活,因而具有同一性。 在行文上,不同于阿多诺其他著作的晦涩难懂,本书朴实直白、明白晓畅,甚至不乏幽默诙谐之处,读者从字里行间也可领略到阿多诺的上课风格。
生存还是毁灭:人生终极困境的坦率指南
生存还是毁灭:人生终极困境的坦率指南
(南非)大卫·贝纳塔
¥36.75
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。?
