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."

Euthyphro (Ancient Greek: Euthuphron) is one of Plato's early dialogues, dated to after 399 BC. Taking place during the weeks leading up to Socrates' trial, the dialogue features Socrates and Euthyphro, a religious expert also mentioned at Cratylus 396a and 396d, attempting to define piety or holiness. Background The dialogue is set near the king-archon's court, where the two men encounter each other. They are both there for preliminary hearings before possible trials (2a).Euthyphro has come to lay manslaughter charges against his father, as his father had allowed one of his workers to die exposed to the elements without proper care and attention (3e–4d). This worker had killed a slave belonging to the family estate on the island of Naxos; while Euthyphro's father waited to hear from the expounders of religious law (exegetes cf. Laws 759d) about how to proceed, the worker died bound and gagged in a ditch. Socrates expresses his astonishment at the confidence of a man able to take his own father to court on such a serious charge, even when Athenian Law allows only relatives of the deceased to sue for murder. Euthyphro misses the astonishment, and merely confirms his overconfidence in his own judgment of religious/ethical matters. In an example of "Socratic irony," Socrates states that Euthyphro obviously has a clear understanding of what is pious and impious. Since Socrates himself is facing a charge of impiety, he expresses the hope to learn from Euthyphro, all the better to defend himself in his own trial. Euthyphro claims that what lies behind the charge brought against Socrates by Meletus and the other accusers is Socrates' claim that he is subjected to a daimon or divine sign which warns him of various courses of action (3b). Even more suspicious from the viewpoint of many Athenians, Socrates expresses skeptical views on the main stories about the Greek gods, which the two men briefly discuss before plunging into the main argument. Socrates expresses reservations about such accounts which show up the gods' cruelty and inconsistency. He mentions the castration of the early sky god, Uranus, by his son Cronus, saying he finds such stories very difficult to accept (6a–6c). Euthyphro, after claiming to be able to tell even more amazing such stories, spends little time or effort defending the conventional view of the gods. Instead, he is led straight to the real task at hand, as Socrates forces him to confront his ignorance, ever pressing him for a definition of 'piety'. Yet, with every definition Euthyphro proposes, Socrates very quickly finds a fatal flaw (6d ff.). At the end of the dialogue, Euthyphro is forced to admit that each definition has been a failure, but rather than correct it, he makes the excuse that it is time for him to go, and Socrates ends the dialogue with a classic example of Socratic irony: since Euthyphro has been unable to come up with a definition that will stand on its own two feet, Euthyphro has failed to teach Socrates anything at all about piety, and so he has received no aid for his own defense at his own trial (15c ff.).

Sri Krsna számtalan univerzum vitathatatlan Ura, akit korlátlan er?, gazdagság, hírnév, tudás és lemondás jellemez, ám ezek az ?r?kké diadalmas energiák csupán részben  tárják fel ?t. Végtelen dics?ségét csak az ismerheti meg, aki elb?v?l? szépségénél keres menedéket, ?sszes t?bbi fenséges tulajdonsága forrásánál, melynek páratlan transzcendentális teste ad otthont. Szépségének legf?bb jellemz?je az a mindenek f?l?tt álló édes íz, ami t?mény kivonata mindennek, ami édes. Minden édes dolgot túlszárnyal, és nem más, mint az édes íz megízlelésének képessége. Sri Krsna édes természete finom arany sugárzásként ragyog át transzcendentális testén. Govinda páratlanul gy?ny?r? testének legszebb és legédesebb része ragyogó arca. ?des hold-arcán rejtélyes mosolya a legédesebb, az az arcáról ragyogó ezüst holdsugár, ami nektárral árasztja el a világot. Mosolyának sugárzása nélkül keser? lenne a cukor, savanyú a méz, és a nektárnak sem lenne íze. Amikor mosolyának holdsugara elvegyül teste ragyogásával, a kett? együtt a kámfor aromájára emlékeztet. Ez a kámfor aztán ajkán keresztül a fuvolába kerül, ahonnan megfoghatatlan hangvibrációként t?r el?, és er?nek erejével rabul ejti azoknak az elméjét, akik hallják. Ahogy a szavak gondolatok mondanivalóját hordozzák, ahogy a gondolatok a szemben tükr?z?dnek, ahogy egy mosoly a szív érzelmeir?l árulkodik, úgy a fuvola hangja Sri Krsna szépségét viszi a fül?n keresztül a szív templomának oltárára.

Within our Society (the International Society for Krishna Consciousness), guru has been taken to be synonymous with diksa-guru, but what about those great souls who have introduced us to Krsna consciousness? What relationship do we have with these Vaisnavas, and what are our obligations toward them, as well as toward parents, teachers, sannyasis, and other superiors who help guide us back to Godhead? Not much has been said by the Society on these topics, and hardly any appreciation is shown for those souls who labor to elevate us day by day.The scriptures, however, glorify as guru all Vaisnavas who guide a conditioned soul back to Godhead — be they instructors or initiators — advocating a culture of honor and respect. ISKCON needs to reflect upon these principles further, and the purpose of this book is to act as a catalyst toward such an end.

知道谜底，才能真正读懂《周易》 市面上常见的白话《周易》版本，似乎都能看懂。但一合上书，思考一下，就不知所云了。这些书中的绝大部分，不能说它们有问题，但可以说它们不适合普通读者自学。因为《周易》犹如一本谜语，其卦辞、爻辞犹如谜面。大多数的书只教你读懂谜面的文字，让你只知其然而不知其所以然。读者的智力是不能低估的！读者总是在读了白话解释后，还要在心里多问一些为什么。这一问，常常会把自己问糊涂，学不下去了！ 《周易》这本“天书”的逻辑结构很复杂，解读的书汗牛充栋，各执一词又互相攻讦，欲言又止又遮遮掩掩，让人如入云里雾里。本书作者从30岁左右研究易学，至今已有20年。在本书中，他站在教师的角度，将自己在四川大学开授《周易》课程的讲记整理成书，十分适合年轻人自学。打开本书，你可以绕开陷阱，直抵《周易》的“正门”。

有人说，离理性越近，离灵魂越远；也有人说，人生就是一刻也不停地变化着。就是肉体生命的衰弱和灵魂生命的强大、扩大。我们可以灵魂向左，理智向右，定位人生的每个点牵扯出人生曲线之美。这是一个纷繁的世界，有人历经苍桑回去了不再出来，有人蠢蠢欲动地想要换个地方寻找精彩，有的人在原地拼命地寻找安全感……人生太匆匆，面对或转身请记得勇敢，微笑，让灵魂向左，理智向右！

王阳明，原名云，后改名守仁，字伯安，浙江余姚人，是中国儒学界的泰斗之一，也是明代著名的思想家、哲学家、文学家和军事家和心学的集大成者。阳明先生生于公元1472年的一个官宦世家，其远祖为东晋时期的大书法家王羲之，卒于公元 1529年。因他曾隐居绍兴会稽山阳明洞，后又创办阳明书院，所以世称阳明先生。后世一般称他为王阳明，其学说世称“阳明学”。他死后，明穆宗诏谥文成，故又称王文成公。王阳明一生颇有成就，他非但精通儒家、佛家、道家，而且能够统军征战，是中国历史上罕见的全能大儒。 王阳明生在明朝中叶，当时学术颓败，阶级斗争继续激化，统治集团日益腐朽，农民起义此起彼伏。经历了400年、已经僵化了的程朱理学对此无能为力。王阳明试图力挽狂澜，拯救人心，乃发明“身心之学”，倡良知之教，修万物一体之仁。 《传习录》也就在这种背景下应运而生。 总体而言，《传习录》是王阳明的语录和论学书信集，与孔门的《论语》相似。“传习”一词出自《论语》中的“传不习乎”一语。王阳明的哲学思想，主要反映在他《传习录》《大学问》等著作里，其中以《传习录》为典型，是研究王阳明思想，尤其是他心学发展的重要资料。《传习录》在形式上打破了程朱理学的理论框架，重新建立了以“心即理”“知行合一”“致良知”等为基本范畴的心学思想体系，在本体论和方法论上改造和革新了宋明理学，并在内容上强调主体意识和自主精神，反对迷信、依傍书本，具有强烈的平民意识，由此还形成了别具特色的教育思想。为后世一些进步的社会改革家所赞赏和推崇。他的思想冲破了数百年来中国思想界为程朱理学所垄断的沉闷局面，对明朝后期哲学与文艺方面都产生了巨大而深远的影响，一直延续到我国近代并扩展到东亚，后来，其影响又逐渐深入到东南亚诸国、北美洲和欧洲。可见其思想的价值和魅力。以东亚为例，在日本，阳明学被一大批幕府末期的思想家所接受，推动了日本的明治维新运动。在朝鲜，阳明学也暗中流传，并影响了不少思想家。在经济腾飞期的韩国，阳明学被奉为精神的范本。 《传习录》是在王阳明生前及死后陆续编录和刊行的，分为上、中、下三卷，包含了王阳明主要哲学体系及基本主张，是研究修习阳明学的基本著作，堪称王门之圣书，心学之经典。虽然阳明学是唯心思想，有其时代和阶级的局限性，但在朱学衰颓之际，它倡导“心即是理”、“知行合一”，把儒家的内圣之道发展到了致，其思想价值是很高的，对后人的启迪是深广的。即使到了现代社会，它仍然历久弥新，闪现着美妙的光芒。这正是经典与众不同的魅力所在。 鉴于《传习录》语言大多比较晦涩，难以理解，该书在原汁原味地呈现先贤的智慧的基础上，采用标题式，将徐爱等语录及七分书信均分成小节来讲解，主题明显；外加清晰流畅的译文，精辟的解读，让读者翻阅之，顿觉爱不释手。衷心希望此书能够使读者朋友在品读国学博大精深的同时，能够读透经典，开启智慧，指导生活。

《大学全鉴(珍藏版)(精)》文辞简约，内涵深刻，影响深远。两千多年来无数仁人志士由此登堂人室以窥儒家之学。曾参详细地归纳了先秦儒家的伦理、道德和思想，系统地讲述了儒家安身立命的原则和方法，对现代人做人、做事、立业等均有深刻的启迪意义。本书以《大学》中的至理名言为导言，从处世经验和人生励志的角度出发，阐发蕴藏其中的智慧，并以历史中的经典案例加以印证，帮助读者深刻理解《大学》这一传世经典中所包含的智慧。

《中庸》是儒家乃至整个中国传统文化的思想核心，是传统文化之“经学”中“立天下之大本”的学问，对中华文明的形成有着深远的影响。它虽然是《四书》中篇幅小的一部， 但却是其中富意蕴、具理论和见气象的著作，淋漓尽致地展现中国人的智慧和哲学洞见。《中庸全鉴》以《中庸》中的至理名言作导言，从处世和人生经验的角度出发，阐发了蕴藏其中的智慧，并以人生处世中的经典案例加以印证，帮助读者深化理解《中庸》这一传世经典所包含的智慧。

《近思录（插图版）》与“四书”一起，为中国人所人人书目。《近思录》是南宋后了解儒家理学的经典之作，选取内容集中体现了理学的特质，其治学方法、处世之道、修养途径等都值得学习和借鉴。注释尤其是文献来源清晰准确，对深学习很有帮助。

王阳明为明代哲学家。其学上承孔子,孟子，中继陆九渊，而形成为风靡时代中后期并与程朱理学分庭抗礼的阳明心学。其学说不仅对我国明、清现代以至近现代的儒学有较大影响，而且波及日本、朝鲜等国，成为东方文化的一个组成部分。《王阳明全集》原称《王文成公全书》,为王守仁的作品集。此次出版以明隆庆年间(公元1567年-1572年)谢廷杰辑刊本为底本,简体横排,并加以现代标,方便当今读者阅读。《王阳明全集》共三十八卷,收《传习录》三卷,后附《朱子晚年定论》;《文录》五卷;《别录》十卷;《外集》七卷;《续编》六卷;后七卷为《年谱》与《世德纪》。原刻本为二十四册,本次分4册排印。

《哲学与人生》一书收录的都是胡适*为经典的名篇佳作。其中“*辑：哲学探微”收录的是胡适探讨中西哲学的经典文章；“第二辑：人生命题”收录的是胡适探讨人生观的经典名篇；“第三辑：四十自述”收录的是胡适生前*亲笔撰写的自传，是中国现代传记文学的名篇之作，讲述了作者童年、少年与青年时代的人生经历，回顾了自己人生前四十年的心路历程，是作者与自己的青少年时代行的“心灵对话”。 本书在编辑出版过程中尽可能保留了每篇文章的原文原貌。对于文章中一些不易理解之处，予以注释。虽经努力，但限于时间、精力、水平有限，难免有不足之处，敬请广大读者指正。
