Ralph Waldo Emerson, was born at Boston in 1803 into a distinguished family of New England Unitarian ministers. His was the eighth generation to enter the ministry in a dynasty that reached back to the earliest days of Puritan America. Despite the death of his father when Emerson was only eleven, he was able to be educated at Boston Latin School and then Harvard, from which he graduated in 1821. After several years of reluctant school teaching, he returned to the Harvard Divinity School, entering the Unitarian ministry during a period of robust ecclesiastic debate. By 1829 Emerson was married and well on his way to a promising career in the church through his appointment to an important congregation in Boston. However, his career in the ministry did not last long. Following the death of his first wife, Ellen, his private religious doubts led him to announce his resignation to his congregation, claiming he was unable to preach a doctrine he no longer believed and that "to be a good minister it was necessary to leave the ministry."With the modest legacy left him from his first wife, Emerson was able to devote himself to study and travel. In Europe he met many of the important Romantic writers whose ideas on art, philosophy, and literature were transforming the writing of the Nineteenth Century. He also continued to explore his own ideas in a series of voluminous journals which he had kept from his earliest youth and from which virtually all of his literary creation would be generated. Taking up residence in Concord, Massachusetts, Emerson devoted himself to study, writing and a series of public lectures in the growing lyceum movement. From these lyceum addresses Emerson developed and then in 1836 published his most important work, Nature. Its publication also coincided with his organizing role in the Transcendental Club, a group of leading New England educators, clergy, and intellectuals interested in idealistic religion, philosophy, and literature.

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.

DAVID HUME (1711 – 1776) was a Scottish philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist known especially for his philosophical empiricism and skepticism. He was one of the most important figures in the history of Western philosophy and the Scottish Enlightenment. Hume is often grouped with John Locke, George Berkeley, and a handful of others as a British Empiricist. Beginning with his A Treatise of Human Nature (1739), Hume strove to create a total naturalistic "science of man" that examined the psychological basis of human nature. In stark opposition to the rationalists who preceded him, most notably Descartes, he concluded that desire rather than reason governed human behaviour, saying: "REASON IS, and OUGHT ONLY to BE the SLAVE of the PASSIONS". A prominent figure in the sceptical philosophical tradition and a strong empiricist, he argued against the existence of innate ideas, concluding instead that humans have knowledge only of things they directly experience.. NOTHING is more usual and more natural for those, who pretend to discover anything new to the world in philosophy and the sciences, than to insinuate the praises of their own systems, by decrying all those, which have been advanced before them. And indeed were they content with lamenting that ignorance, which we still lie under in the most important questions, that can come before the tribunal of human reason, there are few, who have an acquaintance with the sciences, that would not readily agree with them. It is easy for one of judgment and learning, to perceive the weak foundation even of those systems, which have obtained the greatest credit, and have carried their pretensions highest to accurate and profound reasoning. Principles taken upon trust, consequences lamely deduced from them, want of coherence in the parts, and of evidence in the whole, these are every where to be met with in the systems of the most eminent philosophers, and seem to have drawn disgrace upon philosophy itself. Nor is there required such profound knowledge to discover the present imperfect condition of the sciences, but even the rabble without doors may, judge from the noise and clamour, which they hear, that all goes not well within. There is nothing which is not the subject of debate, and in which men of learning are not of contrary opinions. The most trivial question escapes not our controversy, and in the most momentous we are not able to give any certain decision. Disputes are multiplied, as if every thing was uncertain; and these disputes are managed with the greatest warmth, as if every thing was certain. Amidst all this bustle it is not reason, which carries the prize, but eloquence; and no man needs ever despair of gaining proselytes to the most extravagant hypothesis, who has art enough to represent it in any favourable colours. The victory is not gained by the men at arms, who manage the pike and the sword; but by the trumpeters, drummers, and musicians of the army. From hence in my opinion arises that common prejudice against metaphysical reasonings of all kinds, even amongst those, who profess themselves scholars, and have a just value for every other part of literature. By metaphysical reasonings, they do not understand those on any particular branch of science, but every kind of argument, which is any way abstruse, and requires some attention to be comprehended. We have so often lost our labour in such researches, that we commonly reject them without hesitation, and resolve, if we must for ever be a prey to errors and delusions, that they shall at least be natural and entertaining. And indeed nothing but the most determined scepticism, along with a great degree of indolence, can justify this aversion to metaphysics. For if truth be at all within the reach of human capacity, it is certain it must lie very deep and abstruse: and to hope we shall arrive at it without pains, while the greatest geniuses have failed with the utmost pains..

Dignità o miseria della natura umana? ?C'è un principio supposto prevalere tra molti che è del tutto incompatibile con ogni virtù o senso morale [...] Questo principio è che ogni benevolenza è mera ipocrisia, l'amicizia un inganno, lo spirito pubblico una farsa, la fedeltà un trucco per procurare fiducia e confidenza; e mentre tutti noi, in fondo, perseguiamo solo il nostro interesse privato, indossiamo questi bei travestimenti in modo da abbassare le difese degli altri ed esporli maggiormente alle nostre astuzie e macchinazioni?...

本书记录了神会与崇远法师就禅宗的是非邪正问题展辩论的经过，神会在辩论中批评神秀的大弟子普寂的禅法，指出惠能是得到传法袈裟的第六代祖师，禅宗历代祖师相传的只是单刀直、直了见性的顿悟法门，并强调般若波罗蜜是一切修行的根本。

本书旨在弘扬西方阿弥陀佛的净土教义，提出了一系列关于净土信仰和往生方法的理论，并大量引证各种经律论释，多达五十余部，以申明净土要义。全书以《观无量寿经》的趣旨，统以贯之，由于道绰时代正逢北周武帝毁佛，形成佛教末法思想的普遍，再加上诸宗派多排斥净土法门，故本书中亦多有论辩，着重于破除异议，使得净土法门在社会上广泛盛行，深社会各阶层中。

本经为现存大乘经典中*早时期问世的作品，也是有关弥陀经典中的*早文献，是净土经典的*早先驱。《般舟三昧经》说西方世界须摩提国阿弥陀佛有种种相好威仪庄严，放大光明。若有人一心系念此佛，经过一日夜或七昼夜，就可甚深禅定，面见此佛。 《般舟三昧经》归纳起来说，大体上有三个特：一、以持名念佛，往生净土；二、念佛三昧为一切三昧之王；三、禅净离合，归于净土。这三个特，为本经作为净土思想*先驱的地位和价值。 佛教徒以成佛作为自己修持的*终归宿。“般舟三味”的行持，能令十方诸佛现前。本经以有系统的层次揭“三昧”是确切可得的。

本书首先依据西方马克思主义探讨了马克思主义的“真精神”，特别是探讨了马克思主义与哲学，以及马克思主义哲学与本体论之关系，然后着重从马克思主义的思考角度和范式来审视和反思当今的世界，特别是当今的中国。本书通过对马克思走向政治经济学批判的三次飞跃的分析，发出了“回归政治经济学批判”的呼唤；用马克思两大发现的整体视角剖析了资本主义的“经济人”，并基于此对当今学术界的一些人无原则地宣扬“经济人”展了批判；揭示了改革放以来我国学术界理解马克思主义哲学的三种路向，特别是批判了对马克思主义做启蒙主义和后现代主义解释的缺陷；归纳了马克思主义哲学与中国道路的双向促；用马克思主义公平观审视了社会的不平等，用马克思主义生态观审视了生态危机；描述了“马中西”三大资源在中国道路中的交互汇通。

生活是自己创造的。每个人都会时常面临来自生活、工作和社会的各种各样的问题。我们的处世方法、工作态度、努力程度、思维方式和心态信念等等决定了我们一生的成败。不论干什么，我们都希望自己能够成功，都试图尽量避免失败或走弯路。每天翻翻这本富有哲理性的“枕边书”，能够让你豁然开朗。

　　这是一本借助佛学智慧，通晓人生哲理的身心灵修养书。 　　佛学是一个“百宝箱”，从肤浅的做人做事的技巧，到深的生命哲学，里面应有尽有。本书主要选择跟现实生活息息相关的内容加以介绍，例如，怎样美化自我形象？怎样赢得他人的爱和尊重？怎样和他人友好相处？怎样体验快乐富足的生活？怎样解脱烦恼、痛苦？怎样应对生活中的挫折和不幸？怎样擦亮慧眼、获得真正的智慧？怎样追求自己的人生目标？怎样为自己播种福缘？怎样安顿自己迷茫的灵魂？等等。

兰陵萧氏作为齐梁皇室，在南朝的政治史、佛教史以及文学史上都有独特的位置，历来都是南北朝文学、史学乃至哲学研究的热话题。《齐梁皇室的佛教信仰与撰述》一书不拘于学科限制，以晋唐佛教文献以及传世史部、集部文献为基础，以齐梁皇室的佛教活动与相关撰述为主要线索，融合文史，深讨论了齐梁时期的佛教、佛教影响下的士人思想变迁与诗文创作，以及内外典籍编撰等诸多领域的问题。 本书是对目前中古史研究领域细致分析史料、诗文等文本的一步延展和拓，动态地解读了佛教文献的文本变化，深度分析了其年代、层次、史源，并发掘佛教文献背后蕴含的丰富信息，对现有南朝文学史、佛教史、政治史乃至中古士族等领域的研究模式有所突破。

全书分四编。编考察儒、道对政治义务的看法。“政治义务”是西方政治哲学使用的概念，主要追问“人可否独立于国家之外？”这样的问题，在儒家那里，体现为所谓“君臣之义”。儒家为政治义务行辩护，而道家不认为存在政治义务这样的东西。第二编讨论孝道难题。儒家认为成年子女对父母负有不可推卸的义务（亦即“孝”），而道家不承认有这样的义务，道家还对儒家的道德至上主义整体持一种消极评价。第三编介绍儒、道关于女性的看法。儒家以阴阳模式说明两性关系，阴（女）与阳（男）既有互补的一面，同时，阴（女）对阳（男）又有服从的一面。道家同样用阴阳模式理解男女关系，但更推崇阴（女性）的力量。第四编介绍儒、道对动物的态度。虽然儒家与道家都诉诸“自然论证”，却得出相反的结论，前者认为自然赋予了人类使用动物的合理性，后者却反对人类使用动物。
