Come on a journey into the nature of consciousness, finding the space 'between thoughts' as the most obvious place to recognize your true and eternal Self. We recognize overlooked aspects of the natural world around us; as ourselves, as well as using nature to demonstrate spiritual concepts such as God, union and liberation. Your true 'nature' awaits...---------------------------"No matter how it is approached, no amount of words will ever transmit to another person the indescribable 'ultimate Truth'. The fact that it's described as indescribable should be enough to stop us trying. Yet it's made even more difficult because of our troublesome human mind. As intelligent and magnificent as it is, it has a deep and tragic habit of confusing the symbols we use (for simple convenience) in our lives, for the actual things or ideas they represent. As Alan Watts used to say, it's like climbing a signpost rather than walking in the direction it points. Our greatest of misunderstandings is that we confuse the story and idea of who we are, with what is actually true; pure and simple. We make a false judgment on who or what we are, and you wouldn't believe the amount of mischief that arises in result.As exaggerated or humorous as all this may sound on first impressions, this habit of confusing symbols for reality is a very real problem plaguing our human world, and the implications are exceptionally far reaching. We have confused such things as money for wealth, status or fame for character and even the virtual world for real - but most appropriate to this book, is that religious or spiritual concepts are always confused for the things they are pointing towards. That's particularly true of our concepts of 'God', particularly true of Buddha's Dharma, particularly true of any teaching towards enlightenment or liberation."---------------------------"OmniscienceOh father in heaven, omniscience cannot be. It makes no sense, no sense to me....***Between thoughts, your functioning remains flawless. Between thoughts you are ego-less, yet still exist...?How is it so that your heart beats without your control?How do migrating birds travel without directions, newborn horses stand straight up and embryos form without instruction. How does a plant know how to flower and a seed mature into a tree??Without thought or instruction, nature around you is already omniscient. Are you different from nature, or one and the same?***Young one, nature already exists in an omniscient state with no mind…?Between thoughts, are you omniscient?Mid-thought, do you believe you're not?"

　　《什么是主体性？》由法国存在主义哲学家让-保罗·萨特1961年12月在罗马应葛兰西学院之邀讲学的记录整理而成。当年的课堂记录尤其是萨特与现场听众讨论的部分，五十多年后重获发现，2013年在法国出版，主体为题为“马克思主义与主体性”的报告，同时收数位意大利的马克思主义知识分子（如Enzo Paci, Cesare Luporini, Galvano Della Volpe）与萨特讨论的文字。并由Michel Kail与Raoul Kirchmayer作序言“意识与主体性”，跋文是詹明信的“萨特的现实意义”。 　　“主体性”是萨特强调的重要概念之一，“什么是主体性”这一问题因为与当代批评理论中针对“主体”的讨论相关而重获重要性。自1930年代以来，主体性问题就困扰着萨特。萨特认为，正是人的主体性给了我们在生活中选择走自己的道路的能力。因为并不存在客观的标准、客观的价值，也不存在确定的决定我们是谁或我们是什么的本质，我们能够把握的只有主观的标准、主观的价值以及由此而来的本质，而这些只能从一个主观的视角来拓展和理解。 　　正如“序言”所言：本书的出版，使人们得以一瞥萨特著作的整体性，并可为他艰涩的《辩证理性批判》一书提供理想的门导读，而《辩证理性批判》一书正好在讲座前一年出版，构成了一次与马克思主义的交锋。这种交锋的前提是萨特对马克思主义的悖论性评价：马克思主义已停止不前，同时也构成我们时代不可逾越的地平线。 　　萨特这次报告的抱负即为将主体性置于马克思主义分析的核心，以重新赋予它一度失去的活力。他同时抨了主观主义和客观主义，他想指出为什么主体性对于认识社会来说必不可少。萨特的特有方法就是通过分析实例来紧紧抓住自己的对象。而抓住主体性，就是理解客观条件如何被内在化和被体验，使自己有能力说明集体实践的形式如何得以建立。主体性是“特殊的普遍”，是历史的产物，是历史的基本结构，是可能的创造！

金嘴狄翁是罗马帝国初期“第二代智术师”运动的重要代表。在狄翁传世的演说辞中，四篇“论王政”*为重要，算得上有分量的政治思想史文献。但狄翁关于王政的演说辞并不限于四篇“论王政”，还有其他短篇，皆可对观。因此，本书汇编了狄翁所有涉及王政论题的演说辞，整体呈现他的王政思想。此外，古典学家莫勒斯（Jone Moles）是研究狄翁演说辞的权威学者，本编也选取他的两篇研究作为附录，为读者提供必要的背景知识。

本书主要论及叔本华的主体思想,认为叔本华哲学的整个思想系所要 阐明的“单一的思想”就是他关于主体的思想。 对这个“单一的思想”的主 体,叔本华从其作为认识能力的先验主体、作为表象和意志的主体、作为纯 粹直观的认识主体和作为自由、道德与“虚无” 的主体的思维进程予以揭 示。 本书试图指明,叔本华对主体的探索经历了包括经验、自在、审美和弃 绝(包含同情)四个环节的一个过程,这一过程也就是叔本华从设定主客体 对立开始,逐步演进并取消这一对立,终确立“认识”自身为永恒存 在的自由主体的过程。 这一过程就是叔本华关于主体的思想之旅,也是叔 本华关于主体思想的全部内容。

布兰顿是当代美国*具影响力的哲学家之一。他的哲学不仅在英美哲学界，而且也在欧陆哲学界，尤其是德国哲学界，激起很大反响。《使之清晰》是布兰顿*重要的哲学代表作，曾受到哈贝马斯、罗蒂等人的高度赞誉，被前者称为“里程碑式的”杰作，被后者视作近五十年来英美哲学在语言哲学、心灵哲学等方面的终结。在这部巨*中，布兰顿详细考察了语言、行动、真理、逻辑等一系列重要话题，并试图从社会实践角度出发，在推论语义学基础上，将它们统一起来，构成一个有机的体系。学术界公认，这是一部令人惊喜的经典之作，但同时也是一部艰涩冗长的困难之作。 围绕这部*作，陈亚军访谈的《匹兹堡问学录》中访谈者与布兰顿行了为期一年（2009—2010）的系列交谈。交谈内容主要涉及如何理解《使之清晰》，同时也涉及一些与之相关的其他话题。在这些交谈中，布兰顿不仅对《使之清晰》的具体内容做了*加通俗简明的解释，而且也对它的背景、风格、线索等给出了清楚的说明。本书是这些交谈的文字再现，相信它们对于读者*好地把握这部巨*，能起到必要的帮助作用。

　　老子，又叫老聃，姓李名耳，楚国苦县（今安徽涡阳，也有人认为是河南鹿邑）厉乡曲仁里人，我国古代伟大的思想家，道家创始人，道教教祖。他生于春秋末期，与孔子（前551-前479）同时，比孔子稍长。相传他一生下来就是白眉毛白胡子，所以被称为老子。他曾在周的国都洛邑（今河南洛阳）任守藏史（相当于国家图书馆馆长），孔子周游列国时曾到洛邑向老子问礼，现在洛阳还有孔子周问礼碑。《史记·老子韩非列传》有这样的记载：孔子到周的都城，正要向老子请教有关礼教问题，老子说：“您所说的那些人，他们尸骨都早已腐朽了，只是言论还在罢了。况且君子遇到合适的时机就乘车做官，遇到不合适的时机就随遇而安。我听说，会做生意的商人把货物藏得很深，就像什么也没有；君子虽然品德高尚，表面上却像是很愚钝。抛弃您身上的骄气与过多的欲望，放下您踌躇满志的神态与不切实际的志向，这些都是对您自身没有任何好处的。我所要告诉您的，就是这些罢了。”孔子离周都后，对学生们说：“鸟，我知道它能飞；鱼，我知道它能游；兽，我知道它能跑。能跑的兽可以用网去捉它，能游的鱼可以用线去钓它，能飞的鸟可以用箭去射它。至于龙，我不知道它是怎样乘着风和云升上天空的。我今天看到老子，他大概就像龙啊！”老子晚年离了洛邑，一种说法是他骑着青牛往西去了，在函谷关（也有说是散关）前应关令尹喜请求，写成了五千言的《道德经》，然后不知所终。汉朝以后，有人说老子并没有去世，而是在出关后一直往西走，“过西域，至天竺”，教授胡人及佛家弟子二十九人。另一种说法是他往东走，回到老家，终老乡井。

A delightful children's classic dealing with questions of natural life with plentiful and colourful examples of how things work, and more importantly, why such things as rain, snow, wind and others happen.

Michael Snowdon inherits a substantial sum of money from his deceased son and decides to return from Australia to London. He spends only on necessities and lives like a poor man despite being able to live comfortably. His fortune is kept a secret even from his close friends and relatives.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.

Walden follows Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. In Civil Disobedience Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice.
