The Doctrine of the Mean is a text rich with symbolism and guidance to perfecting oneself. The person who follows the mean is on a path of duty and must never leave it. A superior person is cautious, a gentle teacher and shows no contempt for his or her inferiors.

On the defeat of Pharnaces and reduction of Africa, those who escaped from those battles fled to young Cn. Pompey, who had taken possession of Further Spain, while Caesar was detained in Italy in exhibiting games. Pompey began to throw himself on the protection of every state, in order the more readily to establish the means of defense against him. Accordingly, with a considerable force which had been collected, partly by entreaty, partly by force, he began to lay waste the province. Under these circumstances some states voluntarily sent him supplies, others shut the gates of their towns against him. If any of these chanced to fall into his hands by assault, although some citizen in it had deserved well of Cn. Pompey (his father), yet some cause was alleged against him on account of the greatness of his wealth, so that, he being dispatched, his fortune might become the reward of the soldiers.

While these things were going forward in Spain, Caius Trebonius, Caesar's lieutenant, who had been left to conduct the assault of Massilia, began to raise a mound, vineae, and turrets against the town, on two sides; one of which was next the harbor and docks, the other on that part where there is a passage from Gaul and Spain to that sea which forces itself up the mouth of the Rhone. For Massilia is washed almost on three sides by the sea, the remaining fourth part is the only side which has access by land.

Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!

关于人生的幸福，早在1850年，德国伟大的哲学家叔本华就已经给出了答案：苦难是人生的主旋律，活着不过是在痛苦与无聊之间摇摆。而如何在夹缝中获得幸福则需要一定的智慧。 《人生的智慧》是叔本华流传*广的名篇，也是全世界*负盛名的哲学作品之一。在本书中，叔本华将决定人一生命运的因素分为“如何看待自我、如何看待财富、如何看待别人的评价”三个部分，以“优美的文体、格言式的笔触”娓娓道出了健康、财富、名声、荣誉、独处和与人相处的哲学道理。自1851年首次出版以来，《人生的智慧》几乎已成为全世界每一个有学识的市民家中的书，被各个国家的读者奉为指导人生的“圣经”。本书摒弃了晦涩难懂的哲学术语，所涉及的题材与每个人的生活息息相关，因此尤其适合大众阅读。正如叔本华在临终时所说：“人类从我这里学到了他们将永世不忘的东西。”本书就如一座灯塔，将使你获得终生受益的启发。 此版《人生的智慧》专门邀请我国著名哲学家邓晓芒教授撰写长文导读，译稿忠实于德文原版，更好地还原了这部*著作的思想精髓。

《大众哲学》是艾思奇于20世纪30年代写的优秀著作。它续了李大钊、陈独秀等人在中国传播马克思主义的传统，以通俗浅易的语言、生动的案例，对哲学与日常生活的关系，什么是哲学、唯心论、二元论和唯物论，辩证唯物论的认识论，唯物辩证法的基本规律及主要范畴等问题行了全面系统的介绍和阐释。其写作方法新颖，内容通俗易懂，通俗哲学写作之一代风气，自出版以来，一版再版，在历史上产生过很大的影响，影响和教育了几代人，至今仍有其理论和现实的价值。

唐诗宋词是中华文化的重要组成部分，也是中国人生动的精神写照。诗意人生，是中国古人的生存智慧，也为今天的人们提供人生的启发。唐诗宋词的精华是什么？本书作者通过其如椽之笔，为我们高度概括了六种诗意人生的典范，不仅带领我们领略了诗词之美，而且指向了当下的世事人生。 全书共分8个部分：引言部分介绍中华文化与诗意生存的关系；章评述烈士屈原；第二章评述隐士陶渊明；第三章评述豪士李白；第四章评述儒士杜甫；第五章评述居士苏轼；第六章评述侠士辛弃疾；尾声总结，迈向诗意的人生境界。

《柏拉图主义的助产士》通过精细微的逐字解读和高屋建瓴的整体把握，得出一个耐人寻味的结论：在柏拉图早期对话《泰阿泰德》中，作为主要发言人的苏格拉底虽然还不是一个柏拉图主义者，但已是柏拉图主义的“助产士”。事实上，柏拉图一生不断回头去评估他所继承的苏格拉底遗产，揭示它如何铺设了自己的形而上学之路。此书不仅仅是要对一部哲学杰作提出新的解释，更是要还原出一件事：柏拉图对他自己早期作品中的苏格拉底形象作何评论？

刘放桐主编的《杜威哲学的现代意义》围绕“杜威哲学的现代意义”这个有着重要的理论意义和现实意义的问题展。从理论上说，它不仅涉及作为现代哲学之典型形态的杜威哲学本身，也涉及杜威哲学与整个西方哲学，特别是西方哲学从近代到现代转型的关系，可以说它是这种转型*有代表性的形态；*重要的是，它涉及与马克思主义哲学的对立统一关系，是现代西方各派哲学中与马克思主义哲学的关系*为密切的派别。希望本书能起到抛砖引玉的作用，以推动*多的学者展对杜威和实用主义哲学的研究。

　　本书以“地水火风，缘起再生”的佛家智慧为根基，重新观照宇宙万物、自然生灵、人生诸事和个人修行，提出了“山河大地皆为佛体”、“日月风雷皆为佛用”、“花草树木皆有佛性”、“虫鱼鸟兽皆有佛心”、“芸芸众生皆有佛缘”的醒世正见，阐释了 “人与宇宙互为因缘、同体共生”的慈悲思想：惜生即是惜缘，护生即是造福，觉悟此心即是佛，方能在成住坏空的世界保持真如自性，从而达至个人修行的圆满和喜悦。

《庄子》是中华民族的源头性思想经典之一，庄子的思想，自来也是中国文化的精神归宿之一，给了我们应对变化的核心智慧。在社会内卷、观念割裂的今天，人们呼唤和谐共生的社会环境，一个“人类命运共同体”的全球家园，庄子的思想，与当代社会具有某种内在的呼应关系，对现代人的生活，具有深刻的疗愈作用和精神启迪意义。 本书依作者在喜马拉雅《黄明哲正解〈庄子〉》的讲稿整理润色而成，主要围绕《庄子·内篇》七篇展，基本涵盖了庄子的完整思想体系，也展现了庄子寓言的独特魅力。其中，《逍遥游》主要讲述小知、大知、至知三重境界，展“逍遥”的主题。《齐物论》以人籁、地籁、天籁三重境界为引，分析人类认知的误区，提出“天地共生，万物为一”的天人合一思想。《养生主》以庖丁解牛为载体，讲述“以无有有间”“游刃有余”的解构矛盾的行为方式。《人间世》探讨与权力的相处之道，提出“虚己待物”的乱世存身之理。《德充符》通过几位残障人士的话语，提出忘情忘形、内心与道相通的人生价值。《大宗师》讲述以自然为师，以存亡一体、与造化为友的人生态度。《应帝王》，则承继老子无为而治的思想，讲“顺物自然”、不言之教的为政主张。

本书是约翰·杜威美学理论的代表著作之一，根据1931年作者在哈佛大学纪念威廉·詹姆斯学术讲演会上所作的关于艺术哲学的十次演讲汇编修改而成，于1934年首次出版。书中以“经验”为其艺术观的出发，提出“艺术即经验”的美学观，阐述了作为艺术的经验与普通经验的来源――“日常生活”之间的连续性。此美学思想较前人有新的创建，在今日也有深刻的影响，被现代诸多学者视为20世纪的美学经典著作。

复杂问题如何化繁就简？ 先听好消息，还是坏消息？ 已经付出这么多，该不该放弃？ 为什么压力越大，对于一件事的把握就越低？ 领导说话太含糊，该咋办？...... 不用教科书般的传统讲法，区别于笼统的辩证思维、繁重的哲学史和唯理性的批判思维，以哲学为线索，聚焦日常问题，掌握哲学思考工具，让抽象的哲学实用起来。 哲学是在人类各门学科下行思想沟通的一门事业，是思想界的商人。人类的学科发展越丰富，知识体系越庞大，在不同的知识分支之间，行这种交流的必要性也就越高。诸位现在的这本书，将讨论更为一般的哲学问题。而我们的主旨，就是用哲学理论对标具体的话题，教会你思考问题的方法，以便让哲学有用武之地。

千百年来，人类一直在追索“生命的意义”。这本书作者威尔·杜兰特以其严谨的视角回答了这个严肃的生命议题：当死亡、疾病和信仰的丧失摧毁了所有的希望时，是什么让生命有意义?他联系了100位艺术界、政界、宗教界和科学界的名人，并请他们回答这个问题。 这些人里既有诗人、哲学家、圣人、运动员、诺贝尔奖得主、心理学家、音乐家、作家、政治人物，也有囚犯和身患重疾的病人，尽管他们作为个人各有其特，尽管他们的生活轨迹不同，但我们将从他们的回答中看到某种人类的共性，或者说一种真实生命的轨迹，那就是活着不只是为了寻求某种生命的意义，因为一如既往前行本身就是生命中美好的意义。
