Zakhar Prilepin’s novel-in-stories, Sin, has become a literary phenomenon in Russia, where it was published in 2007. It has been hailed as the epitome of the spirit of the opening decade of the 21st century, and was called “the book of the decade” by the prestigious Super Natsbest Award jury. Now available for the first time in English, it not only embodies the reality of post-perestroika Russia, but also shows that even in this reality, just like in any other, it is possible to maintain a positive attitude while remaining human. Zakharka is young, strong, in love with love and with life’s random, telling moments. In the episodes of his life, presented here in non-chronological order, we see him as a little boy, a lovelorn teenager, a hard-drinking grave-digger, a nightclub bouncer, a father, and a soldier in Chechnya. He even writes poetry, and his stylistically varied verses are presented in the penultimate chapter of the book. Loving life, he looks boldly, and even with curiosity, into the face of death – taking pictures of the deceased at a funeral, staring with agitation at the entrails of a just-disembowelled pig, chronicling the death of a childhood friend – and values the freedom of not fearing his own end. It is family that ultimately defines happiness for Zakharka; but it is also family that makes him realize, on the desolate Chechen border, that his love for them has deprived him of this freedom. Sin offers a fascinating glimpse into the recent Russian past, as well as its present, with its unemployment, poverty, violence, and local wars – social problems that may be found in many corners of the world. Zakhar Prilepin presents these realities through the eyes of Zakharka, taking us along on the life-affirming journey of his unforgettable protagonist.

Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!

Inigo (Ignatius de Loyola) begins as a hot-headed, street-fighting sensualist, in this action-packed play but due to serious injury in a sword-fight, he has to spend time recovering and reassessing his dissolute life. This stage version of his life follows his transformation to become the co-founder of the Jesuits in the sixteenth century, battling the powers of the day and the Inquisition. In Moore's bold, funny play, he asserts Inigo's position as a radical figure bent on changing the Catholic Church.?? This play is not only for those interested in Inigo and the Jesuits. It is also about individuals who fight for change against an implacable Establishment and it is ideal for performing in schools, colleges and theatres. Of special interest to schools and colleges, many of which are named after Inigo (Ignatius de Loyola).?Inigo's spiritual tools for change have informed other self-development programs such as the 12 step program for recovering drug and alcohol addicts. As Pope Francis is a Jesuit, this is a timely exploration of one of history's major spiritual leaders and reformers. "This is the most interesting play text to have reached me for a while... Ignatius of Loyala, founder of the Jesuits is not the most obvious choice for a play subject until you remember that he was effectively a counter-cultural radical fighting an implacable establishment suddenly it s both topical and relevant. I hope this thoughtful, engaging and very funny in places eight-hander will get more outings very soon. If not read the text anyway." --Susan Elkin, The Stage"Brilliantly written... a great evening of thoughtful and dynamic theatre." --Mark Lawson, arts correspondent"The structure and dynamism of the play, the art with which Jonathan Moore makes Ignatius accessible to us, capturing much of the drama of the Spiritual Exercises themselves, would also make I?igo an excellent discovery for schools and colleges." --James Hanvey SJ, Master of Campion Hall, University of Oxford, Thinking Faith Jonathan Moore is an award-winning actor, writer and director.

　　《马克思博士论文黑格尔辩证法和哲学一般的批判》（“贺麟全集”第九卷）是贺麟译述马克思早年经典哲学论著的重要成果。收发表于1842年的博士论文《德谟克里特的自然哲学与伊壁鸠鲁的自然哲学的差别》，该文对于用辩证法观研究古代自然哲学史有很大贡献，1958年由贺麟完成中译，1961年人民出版社出版单行本，后收《马恩全集》。《黑格尔辩证法和哲学一般的批判》于1955年翻译出版，对黑格尔哲学批判研究很有指导作用。本书另收四篇贺麟所撰相关文章，以备研究参考之用。

　　《赫尔墨斯的口误（增订）》是作者的学术译文合集，涉及形而上学批判、话语政治、文艺理论等，收录了霍克海默、哈贝马斯、伽达默尔、克吕格、巴尔塔萨、罗曼·茵伽登、顾彬等著名学者的经典文章。译文难度较大，可见译者译笔矫健，这些文章也为学术界提供了颇具学术价值的成果。

　　《什么是主体性？》由法国存在主义哲学家让-保罗·萨特1961年12月在罗马应葛兰西学院之邀讲学的记录整理而成。当年的课堂记录尤其是萨特与现场听众讨论的部分，五十多年后重获发现，2013年在法国出版，主体为题为“马克思主义与主体性”的报告，同时收数位意大利的马克思主义知识分子（如Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, Galvano Della Volpe）与萨特讨论的文字。并由Michel Kail与Raoul Kirchmayer作序言“意识与主体性”，跋文是詹明信的“萨特的现实意义”。 　　“主体性”是萨特强调的重要概念之一，“什么是主体性”这一问题因为与当代批评理论中针对“主体”的讨论相关而重获重要性。自1930年代以来，主体性问题就困扰着萨特。萨特认为，正是人的主体性给了我们在生活中选择走自己的道路的能力。因为并不存在客观的标准、客观的价值，也不存在确定的决定我们是谁或我们是什么的本质，我们能够把握的只有主观的标准、主观的价值以及由此而来的本质，而这些只能从一个主观的视角来拓展和理解。 　　正如“序言”所言：本书的出版，使人们得以一瞥萨特著作的整体性，并可为他艰涩的《辩证理性批判》一书提供理想的门导读，而《辩证理性批判》一书正好在讲座前一年出版，构成了一次与马克思主义的交锋。这种交锋的前提是萨特对马克思主义的悖论性评价：马克思主义已停止不前，同时也构成我们时代不可逾越的地平线。 　　萨特这次报告的抱负即为将主体性置于马克思主义分析的核心，以重新赋予它一度失去的活力。他同时抨了主观主义和客观主义，他想指出为什么主体性对于认识社会来说必不可少。萨特的特有方法就是通过分析实例来紧紧抓住自己的对象。而抓住主体性，就是理解客观条件如何被内在化和被体验，使自己有能力说明集体实践的形式如何得以建立。主体性是“特殊的普遍”，是历史的产物，是历史的基本结构，是可能的创造！

　　《五十年来的中国哲学》是贺麟先生对从1884年孙中山创立兴中会到1949年中国人民共和国建立这段时期，现代中国哲学发展历史的介绍。这一时期中国哲学界的主要特是，西方哲学的介绍与引，以及对儒家思想的创新与发扬。在这个大背景下，贺麟先生介绍了康有为、谭嗣同、梁启超、章太炎、熊十力、胡适、金岳霖、冯友兰、洪谦等思想家的思想，反映出民国学者的学术造诣与学术水准。 　　《五十年来的中国哲学》分上下两编，上编包括“中国哲学的调整与发扬”“西方哲学的绍述与融会”“时代思潮的演变与剖析”三章，从新心学的角度出发，总结了新中国成立之前约五十年时间中国受西方哲学影响，以及西方哲学在中国的传播等内容。下编则深探讨了“知行”学说问题。

Come on a journey into the nature of consciousness, finding the space 'between thoughts' as the most obvious place to recognize your true and eternal Self. We recognize overlooked aspects of the natural world around us; as ourselves, as well as using nature to demonstrate spiritual concepts such as God, union and liberation. Your true 'nature' awaits...---------------------------"No matter how it is approached, no amount of words will ever transmit to another person the indescribable 'ultimate Truth'. The fact that it's described as indescribable should be enough to stop us trying. Yet it's made even more difficult because of our troublesome human mind. As intelligent and magnificent as it is, it has a deep and tragic habit of confusing the symbols we use (for simple convenience) in our lives, for the actual things or ideas they represent. As Alan Watts used to say, it's like climbing a signpost rather than walking in the direction it points. Our greatest of misunderstandings is that we confuse the story and idea of who we are, with what is actually true; pure and simple. We make a false judgment on who or what we are, and you wouldn't believe the amount of mischief that arises in result.As exaggerated or humorous as all this may sound on first impressions, this habit of confusing symbols for reality is a very real problem plaguing our human world, and the implications are exceptionally far reaching. We have confused such things as money for wealth, status or fame for character and even the virtual world for real - but most appropriate to this book, is that religious or spiritual concepts are always confused for the things they are pointing towards. That's particularly true of our concepts of 'God', particularly true of Buddha's Dharma, particularly true of any teaching towards enlightenment or liberation."---------------------------"OmniscienceOh father in heaven, omniscience cannot be. It makes no sense, no sense to me....***Between thoughts, your functioning remains flawless. Between thoughts you are ego-less, yet still exist...?How is it so that your heart beats without your control?How do migrating birds travel without directions, newborn horses stand straight up and embryos form without instruction. How does a plant know how to flower and a seed mature into a tree??Without thought or instruction, nature around you is already omniscient. Are you different from nature, or one and the same?***Young one, nature already exists in an omniscient state with no mind…?Between thoughts, are you omniscient?Mid-thought, do you believe you're not?"

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。
