More’s “Utopia” was written in Latin, and is in two parts, of which the second, describing the place ([Greek text]—or Nusquama, as he called it sometimes in his letters—“Nowhere”), was probably written towards the close of 1515; the first part, introductory, early in 1516. The book was first printed at Louvain, late in 1516, under the editorship of Erasmus, Peter Giles, and other of More’s friends in Flanders. It was then revised by More, and printed by Frobenius at Basle in November, 1518. It was reprinted at Paris and Vienna, but was not printed in England during More’s lifetime. Its first publication in this country was in the English translation, made in Edward’s VI.’s reign (1551) by Ralph Robinson. It was translated with more literary skill by Gilbert Burnet, in 1684, soon after he had conducted the defence of his friend Lord William Russell, attended his execution, vindicated his memory, and been spitefully deprived by James II. of his lectureship at St. Clement’s. Burnet was drawn to the translation of “Utopia” by the same sense of unreason in high places that caused More to write the book. Burnet’s is the translation given in this volume. The name of the book has given an adjective to our language—we call an impracticable scheme Utopian. Yet, under the veil of a playful fiction, the talk is intensely earnest, and abounds in practical suggestion. It is the work of a scholarly and witty Englishman, who attacks in his own way the chief political and social evils of his time. Beginning with fact, More tells how he was sent into Flanders with Cuthbert Tunstal, “whom the king’s majesty of late, to the great rejoicing of all men, did prefer to the office of Master of the Rolls;” how the commissioners of Charles met them at Bruges, and presently returned to Brussels for instructions; and how More then went to Antwerp, where he found a pleasure in the society of Peter Giles which soothed his desire to see again his wife and children, from whom he had been four months away. Then fact slides into fiction with the finding of Raphael Hythloday (whose name, made of two Greek words [Greek text] and [Greek text], means “knowing in trifles”), a man who had been with Amerigo Vespucci in the three last of the voyages to the new world lately discovered, of which the account had been first printed in 1507, only nine years before Utopia was written. Designedly fantastic in suggestion of details, “Utopia” is the work of a scholar who had read Plato’s “Republic,” and had his fancy quickened after reading Plutarch’s account of Spartan life under Lycurgus. Beneath the veil of an ideal communism, into which there has been worked some witty extravagance, there lies a noble English argument. Sometimes More puts the case as of France when he means England. Sometimes there is ironical praise of the good faith of Christian kings, saving the book from censure as a political attack on the policy of Henry VIII. Erasmus wrote to a friend in 1517 that he should send for More’s “Utopia,” if he had not read it, and “wished to see the true source of all political evils.” And to More Erasmus wrote of his book, “A burgomaster of Antwerp is so pleased with it that he knows it all by heart.” Sir Thomas More, son of Sir John More, a justice of the King’s Bench, was born in 1478, in Milk Street, in the city of London. After his earlier education at St. Anthony’s School, in Threadneedle Street, he was placed, as a boy, in the household of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor. It was not unusual for persons of wealth or influence and sons of good families to be so established together in a relation of patron and client. The youth wore his patron’s livery, and added to his state. The patron used, afterwards, his wealth or influence in helping his young client forward in the world.

One of the greatest works of philosophy, political theory, and literature ever produced, Plato’s Republic has shaped Western thought for thousands of years, and remains as relevant today as when it was written during the fourth century B.C.Republic begins by posing a central question: "What is justice, and why should we be just, especially when the wicked often seem happier and more successful?" For Plato, the answer lies with the ways people, groups, and institutions organize and behave. A brilliant inquiry into the problems of constructing the perfect state, and the roles education, the arts, family, and religion should play in our lives, Republic employs picturesque settings, sharply outlined characters, and conversational dialogue to drive home the philosopher’s often provocative arguments.Highly regarded as one of the most accurate renderings of Plato's Republic that has yet been published, this widely acclaimed work is the first strictly literal translation of a timeless classic. This Special Collector's Edition includes a new introduction by Prof. Colin Kant, PH.D, a noted Platonian and Socratic scholar.

怎么做才对？什么样的生活才算好？这些我们日日面对的问题，追问下去，就会触达道德的本质。 因此，道德哲学不仅仅是一项学术事业，而是对于什么样的人生才值得过的省察。追寻良好生活，意味着敢于运用自己的理智，去思索至关重要的问题，而不是想都不想就受别人给出的答案。 为了这样的道德启蒙，牛津大学哲学家乔纳森?沃尔夫结合几十年的哲学思考与道德实践，为每个愿意探索人生幸福根基的人，写下了这部明晰晓畅的通识著作。他从头梳理2500年的道德探究，使功利主义、道义论、德性伦理三大流派在交锋中相互阐明，让众多大思想家的洞见成为我们时代的道德资源。从古典时代到21世纪，道德哲学追问至为根本的问题，也不断回应每个时代中至为切近的问题。理性的思考加上共情的理解，在质疑、挑战中完善思考与实践，这是形塑道德人生观的途径，也是道德步的动力。

      人之所以活得累，一是因为太认真，二是因为太想要。       佛经上说：“无常故苦。”就是让我们知道：人生是有缺陷的，没有什么是永恒的，身体会生病衰老，容颜、情感会生变，金钱不能永远保有，权力有一天终会失去……       有人问佛陀，你今生得到了什么呢？佛陀说：“我今生什么都没得到，我失去的只是我的无知。”没有什么比失去无知更让人安心、欢喜。如果在我们的生命历程中越早失去无知，越来越多的时候失去无知，我们就能享受得到佛陀的加持，改变“一切是常，一切都不会变”的执着，终于懂得“无常，就是无限的可能性”，从此不再盲冲瞎撞，始勇猛精，把无常变为奇迹，把充满缺陷的人生转为圆满。也从此，活得欢喜，一切都是*好的安排。
