在《道德情操论》中，斯密谈到本性贪婪和自私的地主的行为动机时说：“富人只是从这大量的产品中选用了贵重和中意的东西。他们的消费量比穷人少；尽管他们的天性是自私的和贪婪的，虽然他们只图自己方便，虽然他们雇用千百人来为自己劳动的目的是满足自己无聊而又贪得无厌的欲望……”。在《国富论》中，斯密又谈到唯利是图的资本家的行为动机。他说：“把资本用来支持产业的人，既以牟取利润为目的，他自然总会努力使他用其资本所支持的产业的生产物能具有*价值，换言之，能交换*数量的货币或其它货物。” 在斯密看来，个人利益是人们从事经济活动的出发点；而从利己出发从事经济活动的人，就是斯密所假设的“经济人”（主要是指资本家）。正因为斯密把利己主义作为“经济人”活动的根据，所以，西方某些研究者既把斯密看成是古典经济学的主要代表人物，又把他看作是一个信奉“适者生存”的被现金交易关系和残忍的竞争所支配的理论家。

本书分为上、下两编。上编简要梳理西方和中国古今公平正义理论，重阐述马克思主义公平正义理论的基本立场、中国特色社会主义公平正义理论的要义，揭示公平正义与社会物质生活条件、社会利益关系之间的深刻联系，以及公平正义理念对实现社会主义时代人民美好生活的重大意义。下编重探讨中国特色社会主义事业程中通过法治实现社会公平正义的实践问题。践行符合时代发展需要的公平正义理念，才能真正实现良法善治，公平正义引导法治的价值走向。法治的立法、执法、司法、守法等各个环节都对推动社会公平正义发挥着不可替代的重要功能。全面推依法治国，是全面推公平正义的重要要求。

本书分为四个部分，*部分是西方法哲学名著的解析，全面介绍了法律的概念、正义论等法哲学名著惊醒了全面的介绍和解读；第二部分是西方法哲学学派的书评，包括自然法学派、分析法学派、社会法学派等；第三部分是西方法哲学的专题研究文述、包括古希腊罗马的自然法思想、西方思想是多和和谐社会观等；第四部分是对西方法律思想思学科的回顾与展望，介绍了西方法律思想史学科的综合发展情况及趋势。对于西方法哲学研究者有很好的指引作用。

《外国哲学》第31辑由赵敦华教授任主编，由北京大学外国哲学研究所负责组稿。本辑包含“中世纪哲学研究”、“论人”、“分析哲学研究”、“青年之窗”和“海德格尔《黑皮本》”5个栏目，收论文7篇，译文1篇。 “中世纪哲学研究”刊登了徐龙飞教授的论文《奥古斯丁<上帝之城>的历史哲学与历史神学》。作者认为，奥古斯丁从罗马城的陷落出发，分析了一个帝国衰落的重要的原因在于：其精英阶层不再能够提出任何有价值的思想；他的《上帝之城》*意义的贡献在于，他建构了基督宗教的历史哲学意义上的历史神学，这一历史神学从末世论所决定的启示的历史景象出发，并终战胜了异教的古典世界所宣称的循环论和线性论的时间概念，他所思考的并非仅仅基督宗教的历史与救赎、哲学与神学，而是从人类整体出发而对于包括基督宗教及其历史在内的整体的人类历史的思考，他提出了超出循环论的和线性论的全新的历史观，这是过往和未来同时指向当下的历史观，可称为当下线性时间观的历史观。 “论人”由两篇论文组成，分别是尚新建、杜丽燕教授的《文艺复兴与人》和韩林合教授的《人是遵守规则的动物——一种维特根斯坦式的人性观》。尚新建、杜丽燕教授的《文艺复兴与人》一文着重探讨文艺复兴所谓“人的发现”的内涵。作者指出，文艺复兴是一个承先启后的时代，这一时期对于人的看法，有着明显的过渡性特征。文艺复兴时期的个人，始走向世俗化，却依然保持着基督徒式的虔诚。在信仰的前提下，理性的地位得到空前的提升。作为自由的个人，他们发出自由的呐喊：自由是上帝赋予人的生存权利。 韩林合教授《人是遵守规则的动物——一种维特根斯坦式的人性观》一文，从亚里斯多德、康德、维特根斯坦手，探讨人何以是遵守规则的动物，重在于维特根斯坦的解释。作者根据维特根斯坦的思想，阐释人是遵守规则的动物这一论。作者指出，遵守规则之事本质上说来是共同体之事或社会之事。如果遵守规则本质上是社会性的，那么相应的能力不可能是天生的，而是必须通过教学和训练从其他人那里学习而来。 “分析哲学研究”栏目刊载两篇论文。陈波教授《对蒯因真理观的批判性考察》对蒯因的真理观行批判性考察，共有三节，分别讨论了蒯因关于“真”和“真理”的八个论题，蒯因真理观中的诸内在紧张，以及真的去引号说明是不充分性问题。郑宇健先生的《回顾式必然性——一种涉及化逻辑的新模态观念》一文，探讨了如下这个基本事实及其蕴义：即任何游戏中的胜负结局的背后都有一个历史条，这条是由双方棋手每一次落子的实际顺序所构成。而对此观念之特殊模态地位的合法性证明，则主要依赖于揭示它与一系列克里普克式后验必然性的标准表述之间的差异和类同。 “青年之窗”栏目由年轻新锐的论文组成，分别是李婉莉博士的《萨特与梅洛-庞蒂的时间观念比较研究》和金一韦博士的《克里斯蒂娃意指过程理论研究》。 “海德格尔《黑皮本》”一栏，刊登了靳希平教授的一篇译作，内容是马丁·海德格尔《黑皮本》之《思索》第二册（1931—1932）的译文。2014年海德格尔《黑皮本》以德文和法文问世以来，已经在国内外哲学界引起轰动。鉴于《黑皮本》尚未有中译本问世，为了让读者早些阅读到海德格尔《黑皮 》相关内容，《外国哲学》专门设专栏，刊登海德格尔《黑皮本》重要章节的中文翻译文本。

　　本书结合两千年来中华文明发展史，生动讲述了王阳明立功、立德、立言的传奇人生，讲述了王阳明在千磨万的人生困厄中创建心学的历程，系统梳理了知行合一大智慧，并展了卓有见地的阐发。

《沉思录》是古罗马皇帝奥勒留终其一生的灵性思考，是自己与自己的心灵对话，也是对自我甚至对人类灵魂的拷问。全书十二卷，剖析了灵魂与死亡的关系，阐释了人的德行和个人对社会的责任等，表达了奥勒留身居宫廷与面对乱世的独特感悟。《沉思录》是斯多葛派哲学思想的精髓，也是该派里程碑式的作品。本书为梁实秋译本的*修订版，同时加了英文，是中英对照的精装典藏本。

《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。

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。

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.

Life is not easy in the Soviet Union at mid-20 th century, especially for a factory worker who becomes an unwed mother. But Antonina is lucky to get a room in a communal apartment that she and her little girl share with three elderly women. Glikeria is a daughter of former serfs. Ariadna comes from a wealthy family and speaks French. Yevdokia is illiterate and bitter. All have lost their families, all are deeply traditional, and all become “grannies” to little Suzanna. Only they secretly name her Sofia. And just as secretly they impart to her the history of her country as they experienced it: the Revolution, the early days of the Soviet Union, the blockade and starvation of World War II. The little girl responds by drawing beautiful pictures, but she is mute. If the authorities find out she will be taken from her home and sent to an institution. When Antonina falls desperately ill, the grannies are faced with the reality of losing the little girl they love – a stepfather can be found before it is too late. And for that, they need a miracle.

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.

Dream Finder is an independent novel set in the world of The Chronicles of Hawklan". --------------- "This is good grown-up stuff; more please." -- Interzone "Big meaty fantasy." -- Darlington Northern Echo "This is wonderful stuff." -- Brum Group News "
