本书是为探寻思想政治教育学、教育学以及人文社会科学和生活世界的逻辑前提——“人是什么”而写的。本书阐释了人的生命本体（“结构与选择”）既具有“结构”又具有“选择”；结构决定选择，选择也决定结构；选择在结构中，结构也在选择中。“结构与选择”不仅是个人生活的动力源泉和实现自身价值的基本方式，也是类群（家庭、组织、国家和国际组织）生存发展的动力源泉和实现自身价值的基本方式，生活世界的所有目的和规律都是通过人和类群的“结构与选择”实现的。“结构与选择”理论实现了人的生命本体论、生存论与方法论的有机统一。该理论被评价为：“试图重构人的生命本体论”“提出人的生命本体论——‘结构选择论’”“为人文社会科学提供了前提性基础” “为人们提供了一种新的人生哲学”等。本书填补了两项“人的知识空缺”，完成了六项“理论建构”。

本书由《庄子浅说》、《庄子思想散步》和附录《老庄思想要旨》三部分构成。《庄子浅说》包括生活篇、生死篇、思想篇、终结篇几部分，对庄子的思想行了全面的刻划；《庄子思想散步》则由四篇关于庄子思想的演讲稿组成；《老庄思想要旨》则精要地介绍了老子和庄子的思想的基本内容。本书对迅速、全面了解庄子其人其书具有高屋建瓴的引导作用。

儒学创立于春秋战国时期，独尊于西汉武帝之时。在此之后的两千多年中，儒学成为了我国的显学，对我国社会的稳定、对中华文化的熔铸、对中国人性格的形成都起到了巨大的作用。为了传承和弘扬我国儒学，本书编者编著了《儒学基本常识》以供广大读者朋友阅读或参考。

《挺经》：晚清名臣曾国藩总结一生成败得失，得出“挺经十八法”，作为其修身处世、居官治平的法则。“挺经”指以刚劲强硬为特征的处世哲学。 　　《冰鉴》：曾国藩一生识人、用人心得的总结。通过观察人外在的容貌情态，探知其内在的能力、品质、性格等，从而量材为用。体现出中国古代人才战略的至高智慧。

假设你在桥上，目睹电车即将撞上轨道上的五个人，拯救他们的*办法，就是把站在你身旁的一个人推下去，你会怎么选择？ 　　假设博物馆里每一幅画都是相同的红色画布，只有画名和简介不同，策展人说每幅画想传达的意念也有所不同，你可以要求退钱吗？ 　　假设村里的理发师只能帮不自己刮胡子的村民刮胡子，不能帮会自己刮胡子的村民刮胡子，他自己的胡子要由谁来帮他刮？ 　　以上问题都是哲学家精心设计的"思想实验"，因为哲学无法用科学实验来检验其正确性，于是哲学家在脑中设计出具体的假设情境，测试哲学理论是否符合我们对于相关概念的理解，以找出人生根本问题的答案。苏格拉底、柏拉图、萨特、加缪、尼采……众多伟大的哲学家都曾设计过思想实验。新锐哲学家伊夫·博萨尔特精选其中*经典的55则，用清晰易懂的方式加以阐述、推演，引领读者探讨*令人彷徨的人生11大主题。 　　

《论语》《孟子》《大学》《中庸》经汉、唐至宋，理学家朱熹将之合为一体，遂有《四书》之名。朱熹等理学家对《四书》行编排、训释、诠解，使其逐渐具备了单篇所无法比拟的理论力量。本书系统地论述了《四书》学的渊源及在两宋时期的演变与发展，探讨了宋代《四书》学与理学思潮发展之间的内在联系，着重从经典诠释学的角度阐发了朱熹《四书》学的诠释方法、学术成就与思想贡献，并从儒家的人文信仰、实践工夫的角度探讨了朱熹《四书》学的学术成就与思想特色，试图通过上述分析，揭示儒家思想及其知识形态的历史特质与文化特色。

 本书是别尔嘉耶夫*代表性的著作之一。诚如作者所言，本书要解“人”这个“*的迷”，作者将现实的各个方面纳其视域，对存在、上帝、自然、宇宙、社会、文明、自我、权利、国家、战争、民族主义、美感、艺术等等行了全面的剖析。他始终坚持，自由高于存在，精神高于自然，主体高于客体，个性高于共相-普遍的事物，爱高于规律。和那些动辄喜欢建立体系而对现实世界关心甚少的学院派哲学家相比，别尔嘉耶夫的思想中常常交织着两项因素：他既用学者的眼光看待个性、自由、创造等字眼，同时又有着悲天悯人的胸怀，对那些在现实世界中遭受苦难的*下层人的生活保有深切的同情，两者互相交织，相辅相成，使得本书在严峻的理性之外处处闪耀着人性的光辉。别尔嘉耶夫的文笔简练流畅，他惯于用简单的语言表达复杂的思想，本书既是作者对人的创造、生命和历史意义的探索，又是对整个世界的哲学沉思。

 本书是爱尔维修的代表作之一。《论精神》在1758年出版后，书中蕴含的无神论思想和对宗教伦理的批判令当时专制的教廷恐慌不已，被列为禁书。但与此同时，该书却在欧洲广受欢迎，短期内即被译成英文、意大利文和德文。在本书中，爱尔维修继承了洛克唯物主义的感觉论，以人的肉体感受性为基石，建立了以“自爱”为核心的功利主义伦理学。他的思想明，认为追求个人的利益和幸福这种趋乐避苦的“自爱”感情是人所共有的，正是这种人所共有的普遍情感推动着社会的步。此外，他在书中还猛烈抨封建专制制度，并公揭露宗教在保护封建制度中的作用。全书警句迭出，行文通俗，并穿插了大量有趣晓畅的比喻和例子来阐释严肃的社会议题和哲学思想，这深刻反映出爱尔维修不仅是一位伟大的思想家，而且还是一位精于修辞的文学家。

Human reason, in one sphere of its cognition, is called upon to consider questions, which it cannot decline, as they are presented by its own nature, but which it cannot answer, as they transcend every faculty of the mind. It falls into this difficulty without any fault of its own. It begins with principles, which cannot be dispensed with in the field of experience, and the truth and sufficiency of which are, at the same time, insured by experience. With these principles it rises, in obedience to the laws of its own nature, to ever higher and more remote conditions. But it quickly discovers that, in this way, its labours must remain ever incomplete, because new questions never cease to present themselves; and thus it finds itself compelled to have recourse to principles which transcend the region of experience, while they are regarded by common sense without distrust. It thus falls into confusion and contradictions, from which it conjectures the presence of latent errors, which, however, it is unable to discover, because the principles it employs, transcending the limits of experience, cannot be tested by that criterion. The arena of these endless contests is called Metaphysic.Time was, when she was the queen of all the sciences; and, if we take the will for the deed, she certainly deserves, so far as regards the high importance of her object-matter, this title of honour. Now, it is the fashion of the time to heap contempt and scorn upon her; and the matron mourns, forlorn and forsaken, like Hecuba: At first, her gover Modo maxima rerum, Tot generis, natisque potens... Nunc trahor exul, inops. —Ovid, Metamorphoses. xiii under the administration of the dogmatists, was an absolute despotism. But, as the legislative continued to show traces of the ancient barbaric rule, her empire gradually broke up, and intestine wars introduced the reign of anarchy; while the sceptics, like nomadic tribes, who hate a permanent habitation and settled mode of living, attacked from time to time those who had organized themselves into civil communities. But their number was, very happily, small; and thus they could not entirely put a stop to the exertions of those who persisted in raising new edifices, although on no settled or uniform plan. In recent times the hope dawned upon us of seeing those disputes settled, and the legitimacy of her claims established by a kind of physiology of the human understanding—that of the celebrated Locke. But it was found that—although it was affirmed that this so-called queen could not refer her descent to any higher source than that of common experience, a circumstance which necessarily brought suspicion on her claims—as this genealogy was incorrect, she persisted in the advancement of her claims to sovereignty. Thus metaphysics necessarily fell back into the antiquated and rotten constitution of dogmatism, and again became obnoxious to the contempt from which efforts had been made to save it. At present, as all methods, according to the general persuasion, have been tried in vain, there reigns nought but weariness and complete indifferentism—the mother of chaos and night in the scientific world, but at the same time the source of, or at least the prelude to, the re-creation and reinstallation of a science, when it has fallen into confusion, obscurity, and disuse from ill directed effort. I do not mean by this a criticism of books and systems, but a critical inquiry into the faculty of reason, with reference to the cognitions to which it strives to attain without the aid of experience; in other words, the solution of the question regarding the possibility or impossibility of metaphysics, and the determination of the origin, as well as of the extent and limits of this science. All this must be done on the basis of principles. ABOUT AUTHOR: That all our knowledge begins with experience there can be no doubt. For how is it possible that the faculty of cognition should be awakened into exercise otherwise than by means of objects which affect our senses, and partly of themselves produce representations, partly rouse our powers of understanding into activity, to compare to connect, or to separate these, and so to convert the raw material of our sensuous impressions into a knowledge of objects, which is called experience? In respect of time, therefore, no knowledge of ours is antecedent to experience, but begins with it. But, though all our knowledge begins with experience, it by no means follows that all arises out of experience. For, on the contrary, it is quite possible that our empirical knowledge is a compound of that which we receive through impressions, and that which the faculty of cognition supplies from itself (sensuous impressions giving merely the occasion), an addition which we cannot distinguish from the original element given by sense, till long practice has made us attentive to, and skilful in separating it. It is, therefore, a question which requires close investigation, and not to b

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.
