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.

Among the notable books of later times-we may say, without exaggeration, of all time--must be reckoned The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau. It deals with leading personages and transactions of a momentous epoch, when absolutism and feudalism were rallying for their last struggle against the modern spirit, chiefly represented by Voltaire, the Encyclopedists, and Rousseau himself--a struggle to which, after many fierce intestine quarrels and sanguinary wars throughout Europe and America, has succeeded the prevalence of those more tolerant and rational principles by which the statesmen of our own day are actuated. On these matters, however, it is not our province to enlarge; nor is it necessary to furnish any detailed account of our author's political, religious, and philosophic axioms and systems, his paradoxes and his errors in logic: these have been so long and so exhaustively disputed over by contending factions that little is left for even the most assiduous gleaner in the field. The inquirer will find, in Mr. John Money's excellent work, the opinions of Rousseau reviewed succinctly and impartially. The 'Contrat Social', the 'Lattres Ecrites de la Montagne', and other treatises that once aroused fierce controversy, may therefore be left in the repose to which they have long been consigned, so far as the mass of mankind is concerned, though they must always form part of the library of the politician and the historian. One prefers to turn to the man Rousseau as he paints himself in the remarkable work before us. That the task which he undertook in offering to show himself--as Persius puts it--'Intus et in cute', to posterity, exceeded his powers, is a trite criticism; like all human enterprises, his purpose was only imperfectly fulfilled; but this circumstance in no way lessens the attractive qualities of his book, not only for the student of history or psychology, but for the intelligent man of the world. Its startling frankness gives it a peculiar interest wanting in most other autobiographies. Many censors have elected to sit in judgment on the failings of this strangely constituted being, and some have pronounced upon him very severe sentences. Let it be said once for all that his faults and mistakes were generally due to causes over which he had but little control, such as a defective education, a too acute sensitiveness, which engendered suspicion of his fellows, irresolution, an overstrained sense of honour and independence, and an obstinate refusal to take advice from those who really wished to befriend him; nor should it be forgotten that he was afflicted during the greater part of his life with an incurable disease. Lord Byron had a soul near akin to Rousseau's, whose writings naturally made a deep impression on the poet's mind, and probably had an influence on his conduct and modes of thought: In some stanzas of 'Childe Harold' this sympathy is expressed with truth and power; especially is the weakness of the Swiss philosopher's character summed up in the following admirable lines: "Here the self-torturing sophist, wild Rousseau, The apostle of affliction, he who threw Enchantment over passion, and from woe Wrung overwhelming eloquence, first drew The breath which made him wretched; yet he knew How to make madness beautiful, and cast O'er erring deeds and thoughts a heavenly hue Of words, like sunbeams, dazzling as they passed The eyes, which o'er them shed tears feelingly and fast. "His life was one long war with self-sought foes, Or friends by him self-banished; for his mind Had grown Suspicion's sanctuary, and chose, For its own cruel sacrifice, the kind, 'Gainst whom he raged with fury strange and blind. But he was frenzied,-wherefore, who may know? Since cause might be which skill could never find; But he was frenzied by disease or woe To that worst pitch of all, which wears a reasoning show."

美如今正处于一种矛盾的处境。 一方面，它如通货膨胀般蔓延四溢：到处都可以感受到人们对美的狂热崇拜。另一方面，美失去了一切超越性，屈服于消费的内在性：它塑造了资本的美学的一面。美以及崇高或震动所带来的对消极性的体验，完全被纯粹的快乐即赞所取代。美*终被色情化。 本书既为我们展示了那些以真理、灾难或诱惑表现出来的美的形式，也阐明了那些建立美的伦理或政治的美的维度。 阅读韩炳哲的书，意味着不断地被鞭策唤醒。……他的社会批判虽然不谙体恤之情，然而韩炳哲仍然热情地拥抱自己所处的这个时代。 ——《周刊》 ------------- 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

在人们的思维活动中，有许多种想法，却不知怎样表达。该如何形成自己清晰的观？这种观又是怎样决定人们的习惯从而影响人们的现实生活？什么样的观是有效的观？ 美国实用主义哲学创始人查尔斯·S.皮尔士（Charles Sanders Peirce）在本书中有效地回答了这些问题。他系统阐述了自己对此问题的见解：首先探讨了人们在面对纷繁复杂的世界时，是如何一步一步形成清晰的观；其次对人们在形成具体而清晰的观过程中常用的几种方法行了分析。查尔斯·S.皮尔士认为，在面对具体情形时，人们不仅仅要找到所隐藏的前提条件或原则，更要有意识地把它们表达出来，这样才有利于行分析和表达，而积极、有效地影响或改变生活和工作。 阅读本书，可以培养人们在学习和工作中科学地行深度思考、逻辑推理与准确表达。?

19世纪末20世纪初，是人类社会发生深刻变化的关键时期，也是马克思主义发展的重要时期。如何认识资本主义新变化的本质？马克思主义在时代新变化面前还有没有生命力？在新的历史条件下无产阶级面临的*紧迫任务及其实现路径是什么？以列宁为代表的马克思主义者，科学地回答了时代提出的重大问题，与各种错误思潮展了坚决斗争，有力地推了马克思主义的重大发展，为马克思主义在20世纪波澜壮阔的历史揭了精彩的序幕。 在《20世纪马克思主义发展史》（九卷本）的体系结构中，本卷具有反映历史承、时代转换和内容综合的特殊性质，总体遵循逻辑与历史相统一的思路，采用史论结合的叙述方法，着力考察19世纪末至十月革命前马克思主义发展史上的重大事件、重要人物、重著作，力图全面、准确地反映这一时期马克思主义发展的历史风貌。

本书论述了形而上学的基本含义，比较说明了中西形而上学的差异与会通，探讨了境界形而上学的内涵，主张哲学意义上的实事求是与真善美的自由人格的内在统一。本书通过境界形而上学的视角探索中国哲学中儒释道的本体、工夫、境界三者的统一，揭示了儒释道所说的本体与人的关系，即本体与人的存在内在相连，并由人的道德实践而呈现在精神境界上。

《围炉夜话》是中国古代众多劝世之书中的一种，它以短小精辟，富有哲理见长的格言体之作。文辞浅近明晰，言语言简意赅，情真意切，如同一德高望重的长者和一群后辈围着火炉，娓娓而谈，品味人生，意境深远，富有哲理，颇有启发性。书中的许多话语虽以劝诫为主，但读来却无艰涩枯燥之感，反而觉得生动平实，将本来会令人觉得比较高深的哲理融入日常生活中，使人容易为其所感染而产生共鸣。全书分为二百二十一则，以随笔的形式阐发了安身立命的主旨，涉及到人生的诸多方面，如修身养性、为人处事、持身立业、读书立志、安贫乐道、济世助人、持家教子、忠孝节义、为官执政等等。书中体现出作者王永彬身上具有浓厚的儒家思想的烙印，他在本书中以大量的语言文字阐释了“立德、立功、立言”的要旨，揭示了人生价值的深刻内涵。

本卷收入冯友兰先生所著的《西洋哲学史》和《中国哲学小史》。两书均为冯先生早年撰写的带有普及性质的读物，以人代史，深入浅出，可为读者提供解中西方哲学史的门径。

　　冯友兰先生所著两卷本《中国哲学史(上下)(精)》是**部具有现代意义的中国哲学史，奠定了现代中国哲学史学科的基本框架，至今仍是世界各地许多高校使用的基本教材，是现代中国影响**的哲学史名著。冯先生自谓就内容而言，此书有两点“发先人之所未发，而后来也不能改变的”：一是将先秦名家分为合同异、离坚白两派，二是区分了二程思想的不同。实际上，如陈来教授所言，书中例如“孔子的正名主义，墨子的功利主义，孟子的理想主义，老庄的楚人精神，法家的三种派别，王充自然主义，《论衡》的唯物主义，以及程朱异同，朱王异同，佛教的主观唯心论语客观唯心论”等诸多观点与提法，亦皆属创见。

在与世无争的山谷里，有一片世外桃源。

《道德经》亦称《老子》，或称《五千言》，相传为春秋时老子所作，是道家开山立派的经典，是道家学派*权威的经典著作，更是中华文明的智慧源泉。它文约意丰，涵盖哲学、伦理学、政治学、军事学等诸多学科，其内容博大精深、玄奥无极、涵括百家、包容万物，被后人尊奉为治国、齐家、为学、修身的宝典。这部被誉为“万经之王”的奇书，对中国古老的哲学、科学、政治、宗教等，产生了深刻的影响，无论对中华民族性格的铸成，还是对政治的统一与稳定。都起着不可估量的作用。 全书分为上、下两篇。上篇称《道经》，下篇为《德经》。《道经》讲述的是宇宙根本，道出了天地万物变化的玄机，揭示了阴阳变幻的微妙。《德经》讲述的是处世方略。道出了人事的进退之术，包含了长生久世之道。本书在忠于原著的基础上，详细注解并翻译原文，并针对每章内容分别从为人之道、从政之道、经商之道等三大方向列举了大量妙趣横生的古今中外案例，无论是从内容上还是在版式上都力求呈现出多方位的立体化效果，使读者能够更好体会和感悟两千多年前的哲人圣典。

本系列图书选取蒙学经典、儒家经典、诸子百家、历史名著、经典诗文等三十八种，分四辑出版。有些经典内容过多，我们选择那些流传较广、思想深刻的篇章编成选本；有些诗文，则根据学生的学习需要进行了汇编。

本书是一本聊出来的书。作者陈先达八十岁以后，不再上大课，学生知道其喜欢散步，路线又比较固定，所以经常与作者在路上“偶遇”，与作者一起散步聊天。谈天说地，论古道今，即成此书。书中既有对人性问题的探索，也有对历史问题的求解，既有对命运问题的省思，也有家国情怀和对社会问题的倾心关注。大到世界革命，小到同性恋。问题广泛，五花八门，却处处不离哲学，每每有思想火花的迸发。作者自嘲是“马路哲学”，其实是传道授业的一种方式。

我们可以这样归纳：洛克属于所有时代，属于所有的人。
