The Prince (Italian: Il Principe) is a political treatise by the Italian diplomat, historian and political theorist Niccolò Machiavelli. From correspondence a version appears to have been distributed in 1513, using a Latin title, De Principatibus (About Principalities). But the printed version was not published until 1532, five years after Machiavelli's death. This was done with the permission of the Medici pope Clement VII, but "long before then, in fact since the first appearance of the Prince in manuscript, controversy had swirled about his writings" Although it was written as if it were a traditional work in the Mirror of Princes style, it is generally agreed that it was especially innovative, and not only because it was written in Italian rather than Latin. The Prince is sometimes claimed to be one of the first works of modern philosophy, in which the effective truth is taken to be more important than any abstract ideal. It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning how to consider politics and ethics. Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of his works and the one most responsible for bringing "Machiavellian" into wide usage as a pejorative term. It also helped make "Old Nick" an English term for the devil, and even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. In terms of subject matter it overlaps with the much longer Discourses on Livy, which was written a few years later. In its use of examples who were politically active Italians who perpetrated criminal deeds for politics, another lesser-known work by Machiavelli which The Prince has been compared to is the Life of Castruccio Castracani. The descriptions within The Prince have the general theme of accepting that ends of princes, such as glory, and indeed survival, can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.

Dignità o miseria della natura umana? ?C'è un principio supposto prevalere tra molti che è del tutto incompatibile con ogni virtù o senso morale [...] Questo principio è che ogni benevolenza è mera ipocrisia, l'amicizia un inganno, lo spirito pubblico una farsa, la fedeltà un trucco per procurare fiducia e confidenza; e mentre tutti noi, in fondo, perseguiamo solo il nostro interesse privato, indossiamo questi bei travestimenti in modo da abbassare le difese degli altri ed esporli maggiormente alle nostre astuzie e macchinazioni?...

Ralph Waldo Emerson, was born at Boston in 1803 into a distinguished family of New England Unitarian ministers. His was the eighth generation to enter the ministry in a dynasty that reached back to the earliest days of Puritan America. Despite the death of his father when Emerson was only eleven, he was able to be educated at Boston Latin School and then Harvard, from which he graduated in 1821. After several years of reluctant school teaching, he returned to the Harvard Divinity School, entering the Unitarian ministry during a period of robust ecclesiastic debate. By 1829 Emerson was married and well on his way to a promising career in the church through his appointment to an important congregation in Boston. However, his career in the ministry did not last long. Following the death of his first wife, Ellen, his private religious doubts led him to announce his resignation to his congregation, claiming he was unable to preach a doctrine he no longer believed and that "to be a good minister it was necessary to leave the ministry."With the modest legacy left him from his first wife, Emerson was able to devote himself to study and travel. In Europe he met many of the important Romantic writers whose ideas on art, philosophy, and literature were transforming the writing of the Nineteenth Century. He also continued to explore his own ideas in a series of voluminous journals which he had kept from his earliest youth and from which virtually all of his literary creation would be generated. Taking up residence in Concord, Massachusetts, Emerson devoted himself to study, writing and a series of public lectures in the growing lyceum movement. From these lyceum addresses Emerson developed and then in 1836 published his most important work, Nature. Its publication also coincided with his organizing role in the Transcendental Club, a group of leading New England educators, clergy, and intellectuals interested in idealistic religion, philosophy, and literature.

LA COLLANA IN/DEFINIZIONI

DAVID HUME (1711 – 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist known especially for his philosophical empiricism and skepticism. He was one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume is often grouped with John Locke, George Berkeley, and a handful of others as a British Empiricist. Beginning with his A Treatise of Human Nature (1739), Hume strove to create a total naturalistic "science of man" that examined the psychological basis of human nature. In stark opposition to the rationalists who preceded him, most notably Descartes, he concluded that desire rather than reason governed human behaviour, saying: "REASON IS, and OUGHT ONLY to BE the SLAVE of the PASSIONS". A prominent figure in the sceptical philosophical tradition and a strong empiricist, he argued against the existence of innate ideas, concluding instead that humans have knowledge only of things they directly experience.. NOTHING is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them. And indeed were they content with lamenting that ignorance, which we still lie under in the most important questions, that can come before the tribunal of human reason, there are few, who have an acquaintance with the sciences, that would not readily agree with them. It is easy for one of judgment and learning, to perceive the weak foundation even of those systems, which have obtained the greatest credit, and have carried their pretensions highest to accurate and profound reasoning. Principles taken upon trust, consequences lamely deduced from them, want of coherence in the parts, and of evidence in the whole, these are every where to be met with in the systems of the most eminent philosophers, and seem to have drawn disgrace upon philosophy itself. Nor is there required such profound knowledge to discover the present imperfect condition of the sciences, but even the rabble without doors may, judge from the noise and clamour, which they hear, that all goes not well within. There is nothing which is not the subject of debate, and in which men of learning are not of contrary opinions. The most trivial question escapes not our controversy, and in the most momentous we are not able to give any certain decision. Disputes are multiplied, as if every thing was uncertain; and these disputes are managed with the greatest warmth, as if every thing was certain. Amidst all this bustle it is not reason, which carries the prize, but eloquence; and no man needs ever despair of gaining proselytes to the most extravagant hypothesis, who has art enough to represent it in any favourable colours. The victory is not gained by the men at arms, who manage the pike and the sword; but by the trumpeters, drummers, and musicians of the army. From hence in my opinion arises that common prejudice against metaphysical reasonings of all kinds, even amongst those, who profess themselves scholars, and have a just value for every other part of literature. By metaphysical reasonings, they do not understand those on any particular branch of science, but every kind of argument, which is any way abstruse, and requires some attention to be comprehended. We have so often lost our labour in such researches, that we commonly reject them without hesitation, and resolve, if we must for ever be a prey to errors and delusions, that they shall at least be natural and entertaining. And indeed nothing but the most determined scepticism, along with a great degree of indolence, can justify this aversion to metaphysics. For if truth be at all within the reach of human capacity, it is certain it must lie very deep and abstruse: and to hope we shall arrive at it without pains, while the greatest geniuses have failed with the utmost pains..

●从未有哪个时代像今天一样，科学让人类社会以肉眼可见的速度向前演化。这场两千多年的长程奔跑似乎来到了冲刺阶段，不断有人做出世界末日的预言，那么，科学*终带给我们的究竟是生存还是毁灭？科学研究的目的究竟是什么？科学能告诉我们*真理吗？ 带着这样的终极关怀，《人人都该懂的科学哲学》首先讲述了科学脱离哲学、独立成长的过程，然后以智慧设计论、弦理论、占星术、有神论、社会建构主义、女性主义等充满争议的问题为例，辨析了科学的定义、方法和目的，科学和社会的关系。伟大的科学哲学家亚里士多德、笛卡儿、休谟、培根、波普尔、库恩等纷纷出场，上演了一场绵亘数千年的*辩论。 面对未来的挑战，无论人类能否破解“公地悲剧”、实现星际殖民、活到长生不老，杰弗里·戈勒姆以科学哲学的视角安慰我们：“当生命终结，人类文化仍然存在，只不过是存在于过去。希望它永远存在就太过分了，无异于希望巴黎时时处处是春天。” ●《人人都该懂的科学哲学》属于湛庐文化重磅推出的“新核心素养”系列图书之一。本系列图书致力于推广通识阅读，扩展读者的阅读面，培养批判性思考的能力。其中涵盖了哲学、心理学、法律、艺术、物理学、生物科技等诸多人文科学和自然科学的知识，其中《人人都该懂的科学哲学》的内容涵盖了科学哲学的核心思想，让你一本书了解科学哲学的核心智慧。

　《图解楞严经：绚丽的佛法百科全书（白话图解）》与《法华经》《华严经》《金刚经》等并尊为“经中之王”，有“自从一读《楞严》后，不看人间糟粕书”等赞誉。它是一部“佛法百科全书”，更是一部指导人们修证的系统修炼手册。它还是佛教正法的代表，被历代高僧大德誉为统摄佛教经论的教海指南和禅宗正眼，很久以来就有“《楞严》兴，正法兴，《楞严》灭，正法灭”的悬记。 　　由于《楞严经》文字古奥、义理深邃，许多有心要精研《楞严经》的读者都不免要兴望洋之叹。为此，我们另辟蹊径出版了这本书。 　　《图解楞严经：绚丽的佛法百科全书（白话图解）》共分为五章，分别讲述了《楞严经》的方方面面，包括本经的地位、历史、争议、经题和译者等内容，其中以圆瑛大师的《楞严经讲义》为蓝本，综合各家的的注疏和讲解，精编成一篇篇通俗易懂的短文，同时，以60个系统结构表和严谨流程图，200幅精美绘图和佛像，用全新图解手法综合创意，使古老佛经焕发新鲜活力。

当今社会，到处洋溢着“透明”的热情，而人们的当务之急是培养一下对距离的热情。 距离和羞耻心无法被纳资本、信息及交际的高速循环。因此，人们便以“透明”的名义消除了所有谨慎的回旋余地。它们被照得通亮，被剥夺殆尽。世界也因此变得更加无耻、更加赤裸。 恰恰于信任不在时，人们对“透明”的呼求声才愈发响亮。在以信任为基础的社会中，人们是不会执意要求透明的。透明社会是一个不信任的、怀疑的社会，由于信任日渐消失，社会便始依赖监控。对透明的大声呼求恰恰表明，社会的道德基础已然脆弱不堪，真诚、正直等道德价值越来越失去意义。 作为一项新的社会命令，透明正在取代日渐式微的道德审查机构。 ------------- 韩炳哲作品系列（见识城邦出品）（已出齐） 《精神政治学》（2019年3月） Psychopolitik 《爱欲之死》（2019年3月） Agonie des Eros 《在群中》（2019年3月） Im Schwarm 《他者的消失》（2019年6月） Die Austreibung des Anderen 《倦怠社会》（2019年6月） Müdigkeitsgesellschaft 《娱乐何为》（2019年6月） Gute Unterhaltung 《暴力拓扑学》（2019年10月） Topologie der Gewalt 《透明社会》（2019年10月） Transparenzgesellschaft 《美的救赎》（2019年10月） Die Errettung des Sch?nen

本书首先依据西方马克思主义探讨了马克思主义的“真精神”，特别是探讨了马克思主义与哲学，以及马克思主义哲学与本体论之关系，然后着重从马克思主义的思考角度和范式来审视和反思当今的世界，特别是当今的中国。本书通过对马克思走向政治经济学批判的三次飞跃的分析，发出了“回归政治经济学批判”的呼唤；用马克思两大发现的整体视角剖析了资本主义的“经济人”，并基于此对当今学术界的一些人无原则地宣扬“经济人”展了批判；揭示了改革放以来我国学术界理解马克思主义哲学的三种路向，特别是批判了对马克思主义做启蒙主义和后现代主义解释的缺陷；归纳了马克思主义哲学与中国道路的双向促；用马克思主义公平观审视了社会的不平等，用马克思主义生态观审视了生态危机；描述了“马中西”三大资源在中国道路中的交互汇通。

南怀瑾先生常谓：立国之本是文化。中华民族历经千年万载，文化渊远流长，在新世纪到来之初，世界瞬息万变，炎黄子孙又该何去何从？ 本书为南怀瑾先生于廿一世纪初应各方邀请之讲课记录，内容涉及广泛，但终不离文化之根本；除凸显众所关心之话题，更望能唤起读者对文化教育之重视。

分析哲学是20世纪主要的两大哲学流派之一，自摩尔、罗素以来，大师辈出，经典产品层出不穷，可以说，整个改变了西方哲学的面貌。本书是探讨20世纪分析哲学的一部巨著，作者是著名的分析哲学家，在书中详尽地考察了从摩尔、罗素、维特根斯坦到蒯因、克里普克等大师的哲学思想，对其在哲学史上的主要贡献做了极其精彩的分析，对其论证中的不足同样做了犀利的批评。可以说，本书必将作为一部经典的哲学史而流传后世。分析传统的出现，部分源自对十九世纪形而上学观念论的回应，部分源自逻辑的新发展、逻辑与数学的关系以及逻辑在理解和阐释语言意义中的作用。初，逻辑和语言中的新旨趣集中在对重要概念的分析上，以期找到解决传统哲学问题的新方案。但不久之后，占据主导地位的分析哲学家开始相信，逻辑上的和语言上的新技术需要一种新的哲学观念——在这种新观念中，那些在过去由不可解的、终说来是误解性的问题所产生的无休止的辩论，将被富有成效的、系统性的哲学探究所取代，这些探究所针对的问题虽然具有挑战性，但完全是可理解的并终可解决的。然而，人们很快就发现这种宏大的转变不会成功，因为二十世纪三十和四十年代的哲学家用他们精确的分析技术证明，哲学的这种转变将会面临无法修复的缺陷。卷讲述的正是上述故事。

 今天他将为你启幸福《幸福之路》是罗素的一本经典名著，拥有广泛的读者。在这本书里，罗素不依任何高深的学说，而是把一些经由他自己的经验和观察证实过的通情达理的意见归纳起来，制做出一张良方，希望无数对生活感到困惑和郁闷的男男女女，能够在此找到医治他们病案的方子，能够在以后凭着适当的努力变得幸福。  《幸福之路》浅显易懂，读起来饶有趣味。正如罗素写此书的目的，“希望那些遭受不幸而并未享受幸福的众多男女能够诊断出自己的症状并找出摆脱的方法”。的大门，门外是条布满鲜花的幸福之路！

《指月录》是明心见性、参禅悟道的典籍。2009年下半年，南怀瑾先生开始带领学人参研《指月录》，并对曹洞宗的特点、学术、修持和传承等方面作了重点研讨，本书即整理自当时的课堂实录，采用对话体。除了原文诵读和白话释义，课堂上以自由发言为主，听讲的学人或提出问题，或表达观点，先生则随时指点、点评。一路讲下来，先生不仅将禅宗的发展、演变脉络讲得非常详尽清晰，对话中更是常常暗藏禅机，如同古时禅师接引学人、对机说法，圣哲言、钵盂语兼而有之。

成年人的词典里，没有容易二字。 无论你现在是20岁还是70岁，你都可能觉得已经过去的人生里出了一些岔子，其中有的部分无法修补，有的令人懊悔。 你觉得自己选错了专业，跳槽过于频繁，也有可能你正为要不要生孩子而纠结，或正在出轨边缘徘徊。 当你选择了一个方向、一份职业、一种生活方式甚至一个人，也意味着你放弃了其他的可能性。 那些可能性让人着迷，甚至勾引你放弃现有的生活重新来过。 重启毕竟是一个高成本的选择，人生不是一场随时存档读档的游戏，在这之前你需要充分模拟、推演、检查，做好准备再上路。 这本书就是为这样的顾虑而准备的，它写给所有与不可逆的时间搏斗的人。 你能在这里快速学习哲学家如何给不同的事物赋分，表彰它们给予人生的不同价值，看到哲学家如何从自己的中年危机里突围，他们甚至写过多篇论文探讨是不是应该放弃上面提到的其他可能性。 即使你不算改写人生，或者觉得人生过于乏味，这本书也能帮你换种思路，继续生活。

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。
