本书是著名学者、北京大学教授何怀宏的政治哲学散文集，历时5年，由35篇作品结集而成。本书收录的文章，多为书评序跋、题记讲演、推荐语、书单，乃至对一些学者的回忆等。作者以伦理与人生哲学为切，对历史与现代、思想与现实、政治与社会行了深的思考，论见独到，鞭辟里，不光是对他作的品评鉴赏之语，更渗透着一位文化学者对现代社会的深刻反思。

重拾中西方古典学问坠绪，不仅因为现代性问题迫使学问回味古典智慧，更因为古典学问关乎亘古不移的人世问题。古学经典需要解释，解释是涵养精神的活动，也是思想取向的抉择：宁可跟随柏拉图犯错，也不与那伙人一起正确（西塞罗语）。举凡疏证诠解中国古学经典、移译西学整理旧故的晚近成果，不外乎愿与中西方古典大智慧一起思想，以期寻回精神的涵养，不负教书育人的人类亘古基业。 　　关于什么是*生活方式及其政治体现，理性与信仰发生过激烈的争吵。亚里士多德的*政制学则揭示了这场几乎为人遗忘但又无法调和的纠葛。亚里士多德否认神法声称的优越性，赞同由独立的理性引导人类生活。但亚里士多德知道，只有与神法相对抗，科学才能避免衰落为教条主义。而现代政治学可能并不晓得这一。对亚里士多德和神法来说，对正义的关注都事关根本。 亚里士多德坚持认为，人类组织的首要形式，即家庭，是两种不同自然联系的结合。一是情欲的，男一女或生殖关系；一是主一奴关系或在现代意义上称为狭义的经济上的劳动分工。……亚里士多德认为，“野蛮人”的错误在于混淆了这两种性质截然不同的关系，这时女人就被当做奴隶。

马基雅维利是意大利文艺复兴时期的政治思想家，历史学家，剧作家。历史哲学的奠基人之一，近代西方政治学的奠基人。马基雅维利超乎众人之处在于：他既是天才的剧作家，又是卓绝的思想家，被他的作品逗得会心微笑的严肃读者必定会追问：这些喜剧与他的政治著作是如何联系在一起的？本书就马基雅维利的文学作品进行了分析和研究。马基雅维利超乎众人之处在于：他既是天才的剧作家，又是卓绝的思想家，被他的作品逗得会心微笑的严肃读者必定会追问：这些喜剧与他的政治著作是如何联系在一起的？

一个被我们忽视的幸福难题——优逝 一本颠覆你对衰老与死亡认知的书 ICU重症监护专家关于衰老与临终选择的理性思考 王一方、刘端祺、郎永淳等知名人士 慈怀读书会陈晓峰 鼎力推荐 在中国，每年至少有成百上千例濒死抢救案例，人们一生75%的医疗费用都花在了*后的无效治疗上，有时甚至会为延续亲人几天的生命而倾家荡产。作为幸福指数的核心指标之一，中国的死亡质量却在世界排名极低。 之所以会形成这种局面，一方面是因为医生认为自己的职责就是救死扶伤，治疗病人，永不放弃，放弃就意味着失败；另一方面是因为家属背负了巨大的情感压力，觉得即使倾家荡产，也不可轻易放弃亲人，放弃就意味着不爱、不孝。而此时，病人自身已经丧失了决策能力。结果就是，人们的死亡已经被过度医疗化了，这不仅给当事人及其亲属带来了折磨，还导致了医疗资源的过度消耗。 要改变这一状况，我们就需要对自己的临终负责，清楚地思考如何面对不可逆转的衰老与死亡，如何告别人世，补上人生重要的一课。 当然，要改变这一，除了个人，还需要我们的社会以及医疗系统共同努力。

本书对《庄子》三十三篇每篇的哲学思想内涵及其对中国哲学的影响进行了深入阐述，认为庄子的思想境界高远，迥出众家，不仅在中国哲学史上居于主导地位，而且对美学史、文学史、艺术史的影响之大，远胜于其他诸子。全书分成五个部分，即：庄子内篇诠释、庄子外篇解说、庄子杂篇发微、论说《庄子》、附录（尼采哲学与庄子哲学的比较研究》）。

Scriitorul francez Xavier de Maistre (1763-1852) este fratele mai mic ?i mai pu?in celebru al g?nditorului Joseph de Maistre. Ironist fin ?i amator de filosofie, el ??i invit? cititorul ?ntr-o c?l?torie prin propria camer?, prilejuit? de cele ?ase s?pt?m?ni de arest cu care a fost pedepsit pentru participarea la un duel. Umorul ?i ingeniozitatea fac din acest text aparent banal o critic? spumoas? ?i fascinant? a viciilor umane ?i sociale bogat ?i expresiv ilustrate de contemporanii autorului ?i ai cititorului deopotriv?. Leprosul din Cetatea Aosta, un text prea pu?in semnificativ ca dimensiuni, constituie ?i el una dintre cele mai mi?c?toare incursiuni ?n arcanele condi?iei umane.

Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) este unul dintre p?rin?ii liberalismului ?n g?ndirea politic?. Textele de fa?? reprezint? cel mai important segment din Leviathan - cea mai important? lucrare a lui Hobbes, scris? ?n 1651, care poate fi considerat pe bun? dreptate punctul de pornire al trecerii de la sabie la cuv?nt ca principal? arm? ?n politic?. Cititorul poate descoperi ?n aceste pagini un filosof care s-a aplecat asupra temei societ??ii cum pu?ini au f?cut-o ?nainte de secolul XX, ?ntruc?t acesta este ?miezul fierbinte“ al g?ndirii hobbesiene, pe care arhicunoscutele sintagme ?starea de natur?“ ?i bellum omnium contra omnes nu au reu?it niciodat? s?-l scoat? la iveal?.

Via?a marelui g?nditor german, supranumit sihastrul de la Sils Maria a fost plin? de str?lucire dar ?i de aspecte mai pu?in cunoscute publicului larg. ?ntre ace?tia se num?r? patima fa?? de muzic? a autorului ?tiin?ei vesele ?i A?a gr?ita Zarathustra dar ?i rela?ia de formare ?i de profund? iubire avut? cu Richard Wagner ?i so?ia sa, minunata Cosima – prezen?e vii ?n aceast? monografie eseistic?, ce con?ine fragmente din coresponden?a acestor mon?tri sacri ai culturii universale, coresponden?? ?n urma lecturii c?reia te alegi cu o imagine calda, expresiv?.

Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) este o figur? important? a filosofiei secolului XIX ?i unul dintre prefa?atorii principalelor curente de g?ndire din secolul XX, fiind considerat fondatorul pragmatismului american. Cele dou? eseuri prezentate aici, primele din seria cunoscut? sub numele Ilustr?ri ale logicii ?tiin?ei, sunt reprezentative pentru opera sa, caracterizat? de profunzimi ?i subtilit??i specifice unui g?nditor care beneficiaz? ?i de preg?tirea unui om de ?tiin?a.Cu toate c? sunt uneori pur abstracte, observa?iile privitoare la convingeri ?i idei r?m?n, indiferent de sistem, puncte principale de sprijin pentru distinc?ia ?ntre g?ndirea s?n?toas? ?i cea viciat?.“ Este groaznic s? vezi cum o singur? idee neclar?, o singur? formul? f?r? ?n?eles, care se furi?eaz? ?n capul unui t?n?r, va ac?iona uneori ca un obstacol de materie inert? ?ntr-o arter?, ?mpiedic?nd circula?ia ?n creier ?i condamn?ndu-?i victima spre ofilire ?n plenitudinea vigorii intelectuale ?i ?n mijlocul abunden?ei intelectuale.“ - Charles Sanders Peirce

Critic erudit ?i pamfletar de for??, Paul Zarifopol (1874-1934) a fost un fin observator al omului ?i al fibrei care alc?tuie?te ?es?turile sociale profunde. Volumul de fa?? cuprinde eseuri care au r?mas de o actualitate acut?, chiar ?i la aproape un secol dup? ce au fost scrise.Coroziv ?i doct, discursul aduce ?n fa?a cititorului concepte esen?iale pentru morala ?i politica mai mult sau mai pu?in balcanice ale Rom?niei interbelice. Lumina ?n care ne sunt prezentate tipul politic ?i geniul organizator, de pild?, ne ofer? at?t senza?ia unei glacia?iuni temporale, c?t ?i pe aceea a unei familiarit??i inefabile.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) este cunoscut publicului larg ca autor al C?l?toriilor lui Gulliver. A fost considerat de mul?i un mizantrop des?v?r?it, de?i a f?cut parte din clerul Bisericii Anglicane.

Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) este o figur? legendar? a filosofiei germane, opera sa fiind baza ? revolu?iei copernicane“ petrecute ?n istoria g?ndirii ?n plin? er? de av?nt al romantismului. ?n volumul de fa?? sunt cuprinse dou? eseuri foarte pu?in cunoscute publicului amator de filosofie, ?n care vom reg?si g?ndurile filosofului privitoare la ?nceputuri (ale istoriei omenirii) ?i sf?r?ituri (ale lumii ?n general). Scrise dup? celebra triad? a ? Criticilor“, textele poart? amprenta sistemului kantian de g?ndire, dar constituie totodat? ?ncerc?ri remarcabile de abordare a unor subiecte de larg interes, analizate din perspectiva ve?nicei clauze a ? condi?iilor de posibilitate“. Orice minte uman? care va ?ncerca s? cuprind? ?nceputul ?i sf?r?itul se va vedea constr?ns? ?ntr-un fel sau ?n altul de limitele pe care Kant ?ncearc? s? le expun? aici ?n idei c?t mai simple.? Istoria naturii ?ncepe a?adar cu binele, c?ci este lucrarea lui Dumnezeu, iar istoria libert??ii cu r?ul, c?ci este lucrarea oamenilor. Pentru individ, care, ?n exerci?iul libert??ii prive?te doar c?tre sine, o astfel de schimbare a fost o pierdere pentru natur?, ale c?rei scopuri sunt orientate spre oameni ca specie, a fost un c??tig.“

De numele lui Sigmund Freud (1856-1929) se leag? poate cea mai controversat? teorie din filosofia culturii ultimelor secole: psihanaliza. ?nceput? ca ?ntreprindere psihoterapeutic?, prima cur? – din punct de vedere istoric – ?n care rolul terapeutic revenea exclusiv cuv?ntului, psihanaliza a fost condus? de Freud ?n mod firesc ?i ?n direc?ia descoperirii resorturilor abisale ale culturii.Disconfort ?n cultur? (1930) este o lucrare de maturitate ?n care p?rintele psihanalizei investigheaz? mecanismele care men?in coeziunea social?, respectiv contraponderea lor, manifestat? prin senza?ia de disconfort care ?nso?e?te mai mult sau mai pu?in evident fiin?a social?.?Supraeul unui epoci culturale are o origine asem?n?toare cu a celui individual; se sprijin? pe impresia pe care au l?sat-o mari personalit??i conduc?toare, oameni de o for?? spiritual? cople?itoare sau cei la care una dintre tendin?ele umane a g?sit configura?ia cea mai puternic? ?i mai pur?, de aceea adesea ?i cea mai unilateral?.“ - Sigmund Freud

王阳明是明代著名的思想家、文学家、哲学家和军事家，陆王心学之集大成者，精通儒家、道家、佛家。心学（阳明学）是明朝中晚期的主流学说之一，强调心即理、知行合一、致良知，是几百年来中国人*精妙的神奇智慧。本书选取了《王文成公全书》和《传习录》中的精彩片段，把对王阳明人生智慧的解析与王阳明著作的品读结合起来，引导读者细心体会王阳明心学的核心理念和有关成才之途、立功之法、处世之方、修养之道等方面的智慧，提升自身的品质和能力，为事业和人生的实践提供方法论的指导和内在素质的支撑。

亚里士多德的政治学研究并非仅限于对现实政治的研究，同时也是以现实政治为基础的哲学探讨。亚里士多德就政治所做的思考和柏拉图一样，都关涉人类生存的核心。亚里士多德的核心关切“什么是好的政体”，其背面即是他的老师柏拉图所追问的“什么是好的生活”。这两个问题在根本上是同一个问题。 在当下中西碰撞、古今相照的历史时刻，政治学研究者们深觉政治教育的紧迫性。然而，国内学界对于亚里士多德的政体学说的研究还不够细致深，甚至西方学界对此问题的研究也受到西方本身现代性迷途的局限。在此背景之下，研究者亟需从原初意义上重新审视亚里士多德的政体学说。 本书是由程志敏、崔嵬从西方学者对亚里士多德政体学说的研究成果中精心拣择选编而成。选文不仅有对亚里士多德《政治学》的深分析，也有拿柏拉图的《理想国》与亚里士多德的《政治学》做对比研究，对于启这一领域的研究新范式来说，是很好的文献积累。
