Despre guvernarea reprezentativ” este o carte plin de surprize i sugestii despre bunele practici ale guvernrii, care nu trebuie s lipseasc din bibliotecile celor preocupai de zona politicii. Volumul de fa a vzut prima dat lumina tiparului n 1861 i reunete principiile la care a lucrat filosoful britanic John Stuart Mill n cea mai mare parte a vieii sale. Aceast lucrare publicat la mijlocul secolului al XIX-lea i pstreaz prospeimea i relevana pn astzi, cnd suntem tot mai aproape de a ncheia a doua decad a secolului XXI. n primul rnd, pentru c imagineaz pn n cele mai mici detalii acel model politic pe care l numim democraia reprezentativ”. Winston Churchill spunea despre acesta c este prost, dar e cel mai bun dintre cele pe care le-a inventat omenirea”. John Stuart Mill i descrie organizarea, detaliaz rolul instituiilor, felul n care sunt alei sau numii demnitarii i explic atribuiile fiecruia. Pune n eviden atu-urile, dar i vulnerabilitile guvernrii reprezentative, comparnd-o cu alte sisteme politice din vremea sa. n final, ajunge la o concluzie foarte asemntoare cu cea a premierului britanic din secolul urmtor. Colecia IN NUCE reunete fragmente venic verzi” din cultura omenirii, mpletind discursuri din art, literatur, tiine sociale i religie. Dincolo de renumele autorilor i de valoarea titlurilor pentru fiecare domeniu n parte, acestea sunt pilde ale nelepciunii universale din toate vremurile. De acelasi autor: Utilitarismul

Das Werk, das aus einer Vorrede und drei ?Abhandlungen“ besteht, geh?rt zu den einflussreichsten Schriften Nietzsches. Er legte hier keine Aphorismen vor wie in den meisten anderen seiner Werke, sondern l?ngere, systematische Texte mit durchaus wissenschaftlichem Anspruch: Er stellt darin soziologische, historische und psychologische Thesen auf. Nietzsche wollte anders als klassische Moralphilosophen keine Moral herleiten oder begründen, sondern die geschichtliche Entwicklung und die psychischen Voraussetzungen bestimmter moralischer Wertvorstellungen nachvollziehen. Er fragt also nicht, wie die Menschen handeln sollten, sondern warum Menschen (Einzelne oder Gruppen) glauben, sie sollten auf bestimmte Weise handeln, oder andere dazu bringen wollen, so oder so zu handeln.

《创造化论》是法国哲学大师柏格森的*之作，更是为他带来诺贝尔文学奖的传世名著。本书站在生命化的角度演绎生命的发展历程，不同于环境决定物种演化的观，创造化论主张的是生命存在一种与生俱来的冲力，而这种冲力才是决定物种化繁衍的主要推动力量。 《创造化论》一书结合了生命哲学的有关内容，成为人类史上重新建构哲学的重要典范，它提出意识具有延续性，而一个强有力的证据便是生命的存在。 同时《创造化论》还为人类那神秘莫测的直觉做出了相应的解读，从而披上了一层神秘主义的色彩。作为诺贝尔文学奖作品，《创造化论》也在解放人类思想方面作出了巨大的贡献。

A partir de uma sugest?o de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari – a de que todos os filósofos ocidentais terminaram construindo, no interregno do seu pensamento, personagens conceituais, uma espécie de assinatura do filósofo – este livro objetiva identificar esse tra?o a partir da obra de Michel Foucault. A tese em quest?o é que este autor n?o se enquadra em uma imagem única, como a do Juiz em Kant, ou a do sedutor em Kierkegaard, mas em uma imagem híbrida e triádica, fazendo coro com muitos filósofos chamados de transversais e que se instalaram no horizonte de filosofias chamadas de pós-estruturalistas, como Deleuze.

有件事是确定无疑的：终我们都会死亡。 　　但我们真的相信自己会死吗？ 　　死亡是生命的终吗？ 　　人是否有不朽的灵魂？ 　　为什么说永生是件坏的事情？ 　　在某些情况下自杀是否可能合理和符合道德？ 　　我们终将死掉这个事实，会怎么影响我们的生活方式？ 　　…… 　　《死亡哲学：耶鲁大学公课》一书源于受欢迎的国际名校公课之一《哲学：死亡》。在这本通俗易懂的哲学著作中，谢利卡根教授挑战了许多我们习以为常或未经深思的观，邀请读者系统反思死亡的哲学之谜，以更清晰的概念探讨死亡的意义为何，从形而上学到价值观，认真、理性地思考生命和死亡的真相。而带领我们探索生命的价值，该以什么样的态度来面对人生这趟旅程。 　　叔本华对死亡哲学的阐述，对本书来说至为贴切:“由于对死亡的认识所带来的反省，致使人类获得形而上学的见解，并由此得到一种慰藉。所有宗教和哲学体系，主要即为针对这种目的而发，以帮助人们培养反省的理性，作为对死亡观念的解毒剂。”死亡虽是我们每个人的宿命，但看待死亡的视角，却可以让人们获得拯救。

        本书在伯特兰·罗素的经典著作《西方哲学简史》的结构框架下，广泛吸取其他学界名家的研究成果，精选84位哲学家及其观，用近200幅思维导图与图表，将复杂晦涩的西方哲学图像化，以超图解的手法为你展现西方哲学的发展演，带你探索西方文明的本质与内核。         为什么柏拉图的《理想国》能长居西方高校书单榜首？怎样的哲学思想推了西方现代化程？为何以理性文明著称的欧洲会爆发两次世界大战？         英国著名哲学家、诺贝尔文学奖获得者伯特兰·罗素认为，想要了解一个时代或民族，必须了解其哲学，只有这样才能真正洞悉历史的发展。

《参同契》是早期道教重要典籍，全名《周易参同契》。书中借用乾、坤、坎、离、水、火等法象，以明炼丹修仙之术。为道教系统论述炼丹的早著作，道教奉为“丹经王”，是千古丹经之鼻祖。 本书是南怀瑾先生一九八三年在台湾讲解《参同契》的记录，分上、中、下三册。南怀瑾先生认为：《参同契》参合了三种原则相同的学问，且熔于一炉——老庄、道家的丹道，还有《易经》的学问，是一本非读不可的秘密典籍。《参同契》不止是丹经道书，它既是哲学又是科学，也是古典文学之作，其中包含了中华民族深之承天接地的文化。《参同契》素有“天书”之称。这部因深奥而埋藏已久的天书，因南师深入浅出的讲解而重新散发光芒。

   《列子》为道家重要典籍之一，与老庄并列。它高深莫测，易读而难懂，以故事、神话的形态，阐释道家的学术及观念。 《列子臆说》是南怀瑾先生关于《列子》的讲记，共分上中下三册。南怀瑾先生讲述列子，深浅出、生动自在，以《列子》的内容为研究重，带领读者广阔的视野、深难测的奇妙境界，并破了意识的种种局限。列子，这个御风而行的人，要我们从一切自设的框架中突围，成就天地间的自在逍遥。

《金粟轩纪年诗初集(精)》为南怀瑾先生四十余年旧体诗作品合集，收录他在中国大陆、台湾以及美国等地创作的*句、律诗、长短句共计五百五十余首，根据不同时期，分别命名为《西行集》《海屋集》《海东集》《掩关集》《美京集》，同时又附录其佛门诗偈、楹联及佚诗数十首于后，可谓诗笔琳琅，洋洋大观，充分展现了南先生超拔敏锐的思想见地和丰富细腻的情感世界。

In the town there was a shoemaker by the name of Martin, who lived in a basement with a tiny little window looking out into the street. Martin could see the people pass, and though he only got a glimpse of their feet, he still knew every one, for Martin could recognize people by their boots. Martin had lived in that basement for many a long year and had numbers of acquaintances.
