Such is the system which underlies the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius. Some knowledge of it is necessary to the right understanding of the book, but for us the chief interest lies elsewhere. We do not come to Marcus Aurelius for a treatise on Stoicism. He is no head of a school to lay down a body of doctrine for students; he does not even contemplate that others should read what he writes. His philosophy is not an eager intellectual inquiry, but more what we should call religious feeling. The uncompromising stiffness of Zeno or Chrysippus is softened and transformed by passing through a nature reverent and tolerant, gentle and free from guile; the grim resignation which made life possible to the Stoic sage becomes in him almost a mood of aspiration. His book records the innermost thoughts of his heart, set down to ease it, with such moral maxims and reflections as may help him to bear the burden of duty and the countless annoyances of a busy life. It is instructive to compare the Meditations with another famous book, the Imitation of Christ. There is the same ideal of self-control in both. It should be a man's task, says the Imitation, 'to overcome himself, and every day to be stronger than himself.' 'In withstanding of the passions standeth very peace of heart.' 'Let us set the axe to the root, that we being purged of our passions may have a peaceable mind.' To this end there must be continual self-examination. 'If thou may not continually gather thyself together, namely sometimes do it, at least once a day, the morning or the evening. In the morning purpose, in the evening discuss the manner, what thou hast been this day, in word, work, and thought.' But while the Roman's temper is a modest self-reliance, the Christian aims at a more passive mood, humbleness and meekness, and reliance on the presence and personal friendship of God. The Roman scrutinises his faults with severity, but without the self-contempt which makes the Christian 'vile in his own sight.' The Christian, like the Roman, bids 'study to withdraw thine heart from the love of things visible'; but it is not the busy life of duty he has in mind so much as the contempt of all worldly things, and the 'cutting away of all lower delectations.' Both rate men's praise or blame at their real worthlessness; 'Let not thy peace,' says the Christian, 'be in the mouths of men.' But it is to God's censure the Christian appeals, the Roman to his own soul. The petty annoyances of injustice or unkindness are looked on by each with the same magnanimity. 'Why doth a little thing said or done against thee make thee sorry? It is no new thing; it is not the first, nor shall it be the last, if thou live long. At best suffer patiently, if thou canst not suffer joyously.' The Christian should sorrow more for other men's malice than for our own wrongs; but the Roman is inclined to wash his hands of the offender. 'Study to be patient in suffering and bearing other men's defaults and all manner infirmities,' says the Christian; but the Roman would never have thought to add, 'If all men were perfect, what had we then to suffer of other men for God?' The virtue of suffering in itself is an idea which does not meet us in the Meditations. Both alike realise that man is one of a great community. 'No man is sufficient to himself,' says the Christian; 'we must bear together, help together, comfort together.' But while he sees a chief importance in zeal, in exalted emotion that is, and avoidance of lukewarmness, the Roman thought mainly of the duty to be done as well as might be, and less of the feeling which should go with the doing of it. To the saint as to the emperor, the world is a poor thing at best. 'Verily it is a misery to live upon the earth,' says the Christian; few and evil are the days of man's life, which passeth away suddenly as a shadow. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?*** ? "MARCUS AURELIUS ANTONINUS" was born on April 26, A.D. 121. His real name was M. Annius Verus, and he was sprung of a noble family which claimed descent from Numa, second King of Rome. Thus the most religious of emperors came of the blood of the most pious of early kings. His father, Annius Verus, had held high office in Rome, and his grandfather, of the same name, had been thrice Consul. Both his parents died young, but Marcus held them in loving remembrance. On his father's death Marcus was adopted by his grandfather, the consular Annius Verus, and there was deep love between these two. On the very first page of his book Marcus gratefully declares how of his grandfather he had learned to be gentle and meek, and to refrain from all anger and passion. The Emperor Hadrian divined the fine character of the lad, whom he used to call not Verus but Verissimus, more Truthful than his own name. He advanced Marcus to equestrian rank when six years of age, and at the age of eight made him a member of the ancient Salian priesthood. The boy's aunt, A

《大众哲学》是艾思奇在20世纪30年代为通俗宣传马克思主义哲学而写的著作。 全书从什么是哲学，唯心论、二元论和唯物论，辩证唯物论的认识论，唯物辩证法的基本规律及唯物辩证法的范畴五个方面对哲学思想行了全面而系统地介绍和阐释。该书自出版以来，一版再版，书中的观不仅在当时成为人们学习马克思主义哲学的启蒙，而且至今仍然具有其理论和现实的意义。 本书*特色就是将深刻的哲学观寓于浅显生动的事例之中，读者可以透过这些事例，发现看似高高在上的哲学思想，其实在人们的日常生活中随处可见。其内容的通俗易懂通俗哲学写作之一代风气。

人既高贵又渺小，人因思想而高贵，高贵到知道自己渺小和高贵。 人是自然界中*脆弱的东西，所以他是一根芦苇，但他因为会思考，可以囊括宇宙，可以通向无穷，这就是人在宇宙中的全部尊严。人是一根会思考的芦苇。神造天地，而天地不知，唯有人有知。 人因会思考而高于万物，统率万物，高贵得如同世间的王。即使死亡也无法剥夺他的尊严，因为他知道自己将要死亡，而宇宙对此浑然不知。即使他被毁灭了，也是一个被罢黜的国王赴死，因为没有什么东西能剥夺他的尊严和血统，那就是他的思想。

本书的主要内容在于矫正后人对荀子天论和性论之误解。荀子言天道，分本体与现象两部分。本体不见其事而见其功，皆知其所以成而莫知其无形，这属于天职的部分。现象即能生之本体所产生的自然现象，有其运行的规律，所谓“天行有常”，故人若应之以治则吉，应之以乱则凶，这属于人职的部分。荀子讲明于天人之分，其目的即强调人伪比天性更重要。荀子论性，认为人既有好利疾恶之性，亦有好义欲善之性。但好利疾恶不等于恶，人一味放纵好利疾恶之性，以至争夺生而辞让亡、残贼生而忠信亡，才是恶。同理，好义欲善不等于善，只有学至全尽、知类明统、深思熟虑，实际上建构出礼仪法度来，才是善。荀子批评孟子的性善说是“幽隐而无说，闭约而无解”，是因为孟子不重视后天人为之伪。因此荀子言性，只是本始材朴，无所谓善恶。故与其说荀子是性恶论者，不如说是善伪论者。

本书不仅从伦理道德的角度，而且从哲学、法学、心理学和经济学的角度，对资本主义社会生产关系的各个方面作了探讨。它共分为七部分。在书中，斯密用同情的基本原理来阐释正义、仁慈、克己等一切道德情操产生的根源，说明道德评价的性质、原则以及各种美德的特征，并对各种道德哲学学说进行了介绍和评价，进而揭示出人类社会赖以维系的和谐的发展基础以及人的行为应遵循的一般道德准则。《道德情操论》（1759）是和《国富论》（1776）同样齐名的亚当·斯密的经典传世之作。

“人的现代化”，虽是西方学者于20世纪中叶率先提出的“旧命题”，但却是今日中国现代化建设必须直面的“真问题”。人的现代化与社会制度和意识形态是密切相关的。本书坚持以马克思主义的立场、观和方法研究社会主义条件下人的现代化问题，梳理了马克思的人的现代化理论，描述了人的现代化的理论和实践的客观事实、发展态势，总结了人的现代化的发展的基本规律和历史经验，建立了人的现代化的动力模型，揭示了社会主义条件下人的现代化的理论和实践的意义和关联，建构了中国特色社会主义人的现代化的学术话语和发展理念，归纳了社会主义条件下人的现代化的理论和实践的因果关系和价值导向，提出了新时代中国特色社会主义条件下推人的现代化的解释模型和政策建议。
