Alchimia fericirii, publicat? ?n persan? (Kimiya?yi sa’adat), spre sf?r?itul vie?ii autorului, urm?re?te atenuarea tensiunilor dintre filosofii ?i misticii Islamului ?i scoate ?n eviden?? importan?a autodisciplinei ?i a ascetismului. Traducerea de fa?? are la baz? traducerea publicat? ?n 1910, ?n englez? de Claud Field (The Alchemy of Happiness) ?i este structurat? ?n opt capitole, aproximativ egale ca ?ntindere. Cartea de fa?? reune?te o serie de interpret?ri ale unor pilde cu con?inut religios evocate ?n Coran ?i ale unor idei exprimate de Mahomed, de al?i profe?i sau ?nv??ati musulmani. Chestiunile abordate de Al-Ghazali aduc ?n prim-plan ideea unei vie?i religioase exemplare. Astfel, el prezint? mai multe sfaturi pentru musulmanii pio?i. Raportul omului cu divinitatea, cu semenii s?i, cu rudele apropiate, dar ?i implica?iile religioase ale institu?iei c?s?toriei sau ale muzicii ?i dansului sunt printre cele mai importante subiecte din lucrarea lui Al-Ghazali. S? ?tii, o, preaiubite, c? omul nu a fost creat ?n glum? sau la ?nt?mplare, ci a fost f?cut ?ntr?un fel minunat ?i pentru un ?el ?nalt. Chiar dac? nu a existat dintotdeauna, el tr?ie?te ve?nic; ?i chiar dac? trupul s?u este slab ?i p?m?ntesc, spiritul ?i este m?re? ?i dumnezeiesc. ?i cu c?t este mai ales subiectul cunoa?terii noastre,cu at?t mai mare va fi ?nc?ntarea sim?it? ?n studierea acestuia; de exemplu, ne?ar face mai mult? placer s? ?tim secretele unui rege dec?t dac? am afla secretele unui ministru. V?z?nd c? Dumnezeu este cel mai ?nalt obiect posibil pentru cunoa?terea noastr?, cunoa?terea Sa trebuie s? ne d?ruiasc? mai mult? desf?tare dec?t oricare alta.

De La Boétie ofer? una dintre primele ?i cele mai clare explica?ii privind servitutea voluntar?, starea care define?te supunerea majorit??ii fa?? de minoritatea care de?ine puterea politic?. Este ?i va r?m?ne acela?i lucru, indiferent de scurgerea timpului: un eseu memorabil despre m?re?ia ?i micimile naturii umane, slujit exemplar de g?ndul ?i de pana unui geniu cu care timpul nu a avut prea mult? r?bdare.,,Dar, Dumnezeule mare, ce ?nseamn? asta? Cum s? numim aceast? nenorocire? Ce viciu ?ngrozitor e ?sta, s? vezi nenum?ra?i oameni, nu doar c? se supun, ci c? slujesc, nu c? sunt guverna?i, ci c? sunt tiraniza?i, neav?nd nici bunuri, nici p?rin?i, nici copii, nici m?car propria lor via???“ ?tienne de LA Boétie

Imagineaz?-?i c? e?ti într-o ma?in? a timpului care te poart? înainte ?i înapoi prin propria via??. Te duce în trecut, la anii copil?riei, când înv??ai s? mergi pe biciclet?, apoi te face s? revezi primul t?u s?rut, cel dintâi serviciu sau anii mai târzii, când te confrun?i, eventual, cu divor?ul. Înso?it de Platon, afl? ce spun marii gânditori ai lumii despre toate aceste pietre de hotar de pe drumul vie?ii noastre. Aristotel î?i va vorbi despre importan?a începerii ?colii, Freud despre îndr?gostire, Heidegger despre implica?iile psihologice ale mutatului, iar Nietzsche despre criza vârstei de mijloc. La drum cu Platon te ajut? s? în?elegi ?i s? vezi cu al?i ochi evenimentele majore, momentele-cheie ?i fazele de tranzi?ie din via?a ta, f?când filosofia s? par? accesibil? ?i plin? de umor!

Cartea de fa??, pe care cititorul o ?ine acum ?n m?n?, reprezint? o form? – literar vorbind, foarte complex?, fiindc? ea evolueaz? pe mai multe voci narative, dintre care doar unele ?i apar?in ?n mod direct autoarei – de exorcism. Geniul inimii e r?spunsul unui poet la o experien?? personal? plenitudinar?, ?n care bucuria ?i suferin?a se ?ntrep?trund reciproc pentru a exprima, ?mpreun? ?i tensionat, starea de gra?ie. Exist? o voce a experien?ei biografice ?n aceast? carte scris? febril, o alta de martor sau de participant la istorie, tot a?a cum exist? o voce a puterii ?i una a victimei. Deasupra tuturor st?, ?ns?, nu neap?rat triumf?toare, dar lucid-cerebral?, chemarea celor dou? credin?e pentru care merit? s? tr?ie?ti ?i s?-?i rememorezi via?a atunci c?nd ai ajuns cu ea la r?sp?ntie: credin?a ?n cultura modelelor care te-au precedat ?i credin?a deloc ingenu?, ci ivit? din cunoa?tere, ?n sacralitatea profund? a celor tr?ite ?i ?n transcenden??. (?tefan Borbély) A considera un text drept ?carte a ilumin?rilor mele“ ?i a a?eza ca titlu al primei p?r?i a volumului sintagma Povestea subteranei ne plaseaz? sub semnul aproape imposibil al drumului c?tre Sine, al cuprinderii, al denud?rii ?i al efortului de a ?n?elege un obiect al c?rui adev?r se va afla ?ntotdeauna ?n proximitatea pe?terii lui Platon. E un demers perpetuat, dar niciodat? epuizat ?i aproape exclus din plasma comunic?rii, care – ?n situa?ia ?romanului“ Aurei Christi – nu are coresponden?e, nu se apropie de experien?a budhist?, nici de prerogativele ocultismului de New Age, ci ne aduce ?n vecin?tatea ?ndemnului de pe frontispiciul templului lui Apollo din Delphi, preluat apoi, ca solu?ie ?ntre a fi ?i a p?rea, de c?tre Socrate: ?Cunoa?te-te pe tine ?nsu?i!“. Po?i ?nt?lni, pe acest drum, ?i acel daimonion care a str?juit g?ndirea aceluia?i ?n?elept atenian ca alt? fa?? a ?subteranelor“ fiin?ei, acolo unde lumina se ?ngem?neaz? cu ?ntunericul, stare ?poetizat?“ de Goethe, dar pr?bu?it? ?n tragic de Dostoievski. E o cobor?re spre ?n?elegere prin cuprindere ?i, implicit, prin atingerea nelimitatului. (Mircea Braga) Cartea Aurei Christi Geniul inimii pare o st?nc? masiv?, singuratic?, ?ntr-un peisaj ?mioritic“. Geniul inimii are originalitate ?i for??. Prima parte e liric?, a doua (?ntr-un fel) – o comedie negru-satiric?, a treia – predominant epic-narativ?. Prima parte este excelent?; mi-am ?nsemnat un num?r de poezii memorabile. A doua, ?n centrul ei mai ales, are sec?iuni, pasaje extrem de interesant-pl?cute-amuzante, ?n pofida tonului, uneori, foiletonistic. A treia e impresionant? ?n ansamblu, armonios-coerent?, de o sinceritate sf??ietoare. ?n tot volumul, istoricul, religiosul, subiectivul se leag? foarte frumos ?ntre ele. Nu-mi plac laudele la adresa lui Nietzsche! De fapt, cum se leag? acest autor de Biblie, de Evanghelii?! Aura Christi poate fi m?ndr? de o realizare major?, cu totul original?. Probabil, nu l-a citit pe romanticul britanic Wordsworth; dar el e cel care a scris (sau a ?nceput s? scrie) o memorabil? autobiografie ?n versuri. Pu?ini l-au continuat. Am putea spune c? Aura se num?r? printre cei pu?ini. (Virgil Nemoianu)

The present publication is intended to supply a recognised deficiency in our literature—a library edition of the Essays of Montaigne. This great French writer deserves to be regarded as a classic, not only in the land of his birth, but in all countries and in all literatures. His Essays, which are at once the most celebrated and the most permanent of his productions, form a magazine out of which such minds as those of Bacon and Shakespeare did not disdain to help themselves; and, indeed, as Hallam observes, the Frenchman's literary importance largely results from the share which his mind had in influencing other minds, coeval and subsequent. But, at the same time, estimating the value and rank of the essayist, we are not to leave out of the account the drawbacks and the circumstances of the period: the imperfect state of education, the comparative scarcity of books, and the limited opportunities of intellectual intercourse. Montaigne freely borrowed of others, and he has found men willing to borrow of him as freely. We need not wonder at the reputation which he with seeming facility achieved. He was, without being aware of it, the leader of a new school in letters and morals. His book was different from all others which were at that date in the world. It diverted the ancient currents of thought into new channels. It told its readers, with unexampled frankness, what its writer's opinion was about men and things, and threw what must have been a strange kind of new light on many matters but darkly understood. Above all, the essayist uncased himself, and made his intellectual and physical organism public property. He took the world into his confidence on all subjects. His essays were a sort of literary anatomy, where we get a diagnosis of the writer's mind, made by himself at different levels and under a large variety of operating influences. Of all egotists, Montaigne, if not the greatest, was the most fascinating, because, perhaps, he was the least affected and most truthful. What he did, and what he had professed to do, was to dissect his mind, and show us, as best he could, how it was made, and what relation it bore to external objects. He investigated his mental structure as a schoolboy pulls his watch to pieces, to examine the mechanism of the works; and the result, accompanied by illustrations abounding with originality and force, he delivered to his fellow-men in a book. W. C. H. KENSINGTON, November 1877. THE LIFE OF MONTAIGNE The author of the Essays was born, as he informs us himself, between eleven and twelve o'clock in the day, the last of February 1533, at the chateau of St. Michel de Montaigne. His father, Pierre Eyquem, esquire, was successively first Jurat of the town of Bordeaux (1530), Under-Mayor 1536, Jurat for the second time in 1540, Procureur in 1546, and at length Mayor from 1553 to 1556. He was a man of austere probity, who had "a particular regard for honour and for propriety in his person and attire . . . a mighty good faith in his speech, and a conscience and a religious feeling inclining to superstition, rather than to the other extreme. Between 1556 and 1563 an important incident occurred in the life of Montaigne, in the commencement of his romantic friendship with Etienne de la Boetie, whom he had met, as he tells us, by pure chance at some festive celebration in the town. From their very first interview the two found themselves drawn irresistibly close to one another, and during six years this alliance was foremost in the heart of Montaigne, as it was afterwards in his memory, when death had severed it.

创新、创造已成为全社会的共识，因此如何提高创造力就是大家非常关心的问题。然而任何事情都有规律可循，如果不知道创造规律，又要采取措施提高创造力，就可能出现本意是想提高创造力，但实际采取的措施恰恰是抑制创造力。如果这样的事情大量发生，对我国创造力将造成极大削弱。本书通过对“创造” 这一原始性问题的深入思考，发现人、社会、生态系统等复杂系统都具有相同规律，即复杂系统创造力与其所具有的能量和多样性呈正比，与其适应性呈反比。作者将这一规律结合个人进行了深刻思考，提出了提高个人创造力的途径。从而发现个人创造的秘密在于，通过树立创新精神，增加多样性，保持适当不适应，就可提高创造力；再以问题为核心，经过深入思考将知识融会贯通形成知识复杂系统，便将知识变成智慧和力量，创造就会大量涌现。但是，“创造”也是一把双刃剑，创造的东西可以是正面的，也可以是负面的，可以创造幸福，也可以带来灾难！因此在我们不遗余力提高创造力的同时，如何保证创造的东西不会造成危害就是一个十分重要的问题。作者在对自然和社会系统和谐规律研究基础上，提出以黄金分割为比例，以适应性为杠杆调节和谐比例驾驭创造的途径。

天才诗人、著名小说家、散文家、翻译家苏曼殊经典名篇结集，著名学者章太炎、陈独秀高度评价苏曼殊并对其推崇备至。苏曼殊文学艺术造诣极高，与弘一大师李叔同并称“南社二僧”，诗人柳亚子盛赞其为“灵界诗翁”“千秋绝笔”！《读禅阅世》收录他大部分作品，他一生能诗擅画,通晓日文、英文、梵文,可谓多才多艺,在诗歌、小说等多种领域皆取得了成就。

苏曼殊是一个多才多艺的作家。他精通中、日、英、梵等几种语言。在小说、诗歌、散文、绘画等领域，他都取得很大成绩。《读禅阅世》收录他大部分作品，包括小说、诗歌等。他的小说大多脍炙人口，多以恋爱悲剧为题材，缠绵悱恻，委婉动人，在心理描写和景物描写方面有许多独到之处。郁达夫评价他说：“苏曼殊是一位才子，是一个奇人，天才是有的，灵性是有的，浪漫的气质是很丰富的，曼殊的才气，在他的译诗里、诗里、小说里、画里，以及一切杂文散记里，都在流露闪耀。”

《读禅阅世》收集苏曼殊主要佛教文章，小说，以及部分回忆、纪念他的诗文。苏曼殊作品行文清新流畅，文辞婉丽，情节动人，对后来的“鸳鸯蝴蝶派小说”产生了较大影响。他一生多才多艺，能诗擅画，通晓多种语言，尤通佛理。周作人评价他说：“曼殊是一个很有天分的人，看他的绝句与小品文可以知道，又生就一副浪漫的性情，颇足以代表革命前后的文艺界的风气。”

　　《黑格尔黑格尔学述》收贺麟于1930年代编译的近代西方新黑格尔主义者的经典黑格尔研究——尔德的《黑格尔》与鲁一士的《黑格尔学述》，二书均能将黑格尔学说体会融化并以清晰流利的文字叙述出来，可谓姊妹关系，互相发明，互相弥补，而又各有所长。尔德注重叙述黑格尔的生活、性格、时代风气、文化背景，特别是政治和宗教背景，以及黑格尔的逻辑学说；鲁一士则着重阐述黑格尔之精神现象学。本书是将黑格尔及其学说译介至中国的人——贺麟对“黑格尔学”发生兴趣之始，贺麟以朱熹太极观会通黑格尔的“*理念”，对于中西比较哲学研究居功甚伟。作为贺麟重要译著收“全集”的《黑格尔》及《黑格尔学述》均为建国后首度整理出版，对于了解哲学家和翻译家贺麟意义非凡。

　　《黑格尔早期神学著作》（“贺麟全集”第八卷）是著名哲学家、翻译家贺麟的重要译著之一，以八十岁高龄自诺尔编黑格尔著《早期神学著作》的德文原版翻译而成，并参考诺克斯与克朗纳的英译本。本书也是身为译介黑格尔至中国人的贺麟先生，生前后一部黑格尔相关译著。其中收黑格尔著《民众宗教和基督教》《耶稣传》《基督教的权威性》《基督教的精神及其命运》及《1800年体系残篇》等五篇论文，是了解和研究黑格尔早期神学思想的手资料。

　　《精神现象学》为德国古典哲学大师黑格尔阐述其哲学观和方法论原则的部纲领性巨著。黑格尔自认此书为其哲学体系的导言。马克思誉《精神现象学》为“黑格尔哲学的真正起源和秘密”和“黑格尔哲学的圣经”。黑格尔通过此书提出，精神现象学是关于意识到达“*知识”或“科学”（即哲学）的道路的科学，它为个体提供了一把攀登*知识的“梯子”。中译本由贺麟、王玖兴合译，分上、下卷先后于1962年和1979年由商务印书馆出版。上卷1979年再版时曾修订译文，以与下卷译名统一，本次整理出版“贺麟全集”版，对勘再版所作修改，择其重要者，以编注形式留存上卷初版原貌。

“轴心时代”是人类历史上光耀千古的时代，是人类伟大思想传统的发端，也是人类精神给养取之不尽、用之不竭的源泉。这个时代诞生了四大文明——中国的儒道思想、印度的印度教和佛教、以色列的一神教，以及希腊的哲学理性主义得以形成。“轴心时代”是真正群星璀璨的时代，是人类伟大精神导师集体亮相的时代——孔子、孟子、老子、庄子、释迦牟尼、苏格拉底、柏拉图、亚里士多德和犹太先知们，共同塑造了此后2000多年人类的心灵，实现了人类文明的“突破”和人性的整体飞跃。 面对史无前例的暴力，轴心时代的贤哲们认识到古老部落宗族伦理的局限，将关切扩展至所有造物，发现了可以将自我提升到超越个体和世界的内在根源，开始用理智、道德的方式面对世界。他们不约而同地发现了相同的“金规则”，即推己及人、关爱众生。孔子教导弟子“己所不欲，勿施于人”，印度教推崇守贞专奉，佛陀说“是故为自爱，勿以伤害他”，《圣经》中的首要诫命之一“爱人如己”，古希腊悲剧对同情和怜悯之心的呼唤，都是金规则的体现。人类形成了某种“深刻的互相理解”，“迈出走向普遍性的步伐”，这不是历史的巧合，而是“人性的本源的表现”。 本书按时间顺序追寻四个轴心民族的发展历程，以及这些突破性洞见如何酝酿、生根、发展、辉煌，并终在公元前3世纪末期渐次逝去。历史上，我们从未超越轴心时代的洞见，当历经精神和社会危机之时，往往回溯轴心思想以寻求引导。轴心时代的贤哲们在世界上不同地域生发出的一致见解，昭示了人类共同的精神追求。面对当代纷繁复杂的问题，我们亦有必要回溯轴心精神，诉诸人性的共同本源，寻求更深刻的相互理解。

　　在《迟到民族与激思想》中，作者以《德国思想的他者视角》篇，从著名学者卡尔·曼海姆、马丁·格莱芬哈根、库尔特·伦克的研究成果出发，考察了有关保守主义的不同定义，揭示了德国保守主义思想的发生语境，分析了德国保守主义的思想结构，发掘其背后隐藏的思想关联、社会关联，特别是政治关联，揭示出德国作为后发现代化国家的激思想；从宏观上勾画出德国保守主义的发展脉络。

　　施米特称，“德国问题”乃为“20世纪重大问题”之样板 　　立足新兴民族国家的政治处境，自编政论集，为现代性问题展思想斗争 ??? 　　《论断与概念》是施米特生前自编过的两部政论集之一，包含讲演、书评、法庭陈词等，涉及范围广泛，如公法、政治思想史、国际和国内政治，立足于德国作为新兴民族国家的政治处境。施米特从作为现代性问题的“德国问题”出发，纵横捭阖，针对国内政治思想的混乱，尤其针对帝国主义对德国的压迫，展了思想上的政治斗争。施米特称“德国问题”为“20世纪重大问题”的样板，此书对于中国学人思考“中国问题”应有诸多启发。

本书是作者关于当代国外马克思主义及后马克思思潮哲学文本研究的多卷本论著《文本的深度耕犁》之*卷，其内容主要是对西方马克思主义哲学中经典文献的文本学研究。在书中，作者*次以文本学的深度解读模式批判性地面对西方马克思主义的经典文本。本卷分别解读了青年卢卡奇的《历史与阶级意识》、施米特的《马克思的自然概念》、弗罗姆的《马克思关于人的概念》、科西克的《具体的辩证法》、萨特的《辩证理性批判》、阿尔都塞的《保卫马克思》和戈德曼的《隐蔽的上帝》等重要论著。

《鬼谷子》一书是战国时期纵横家鼻祖王诩所著，通篇所言皆为权谋策略及口才技巧。“智用于众人之所不能用，用于众人之所不能见”是《鬼谷子》思想的精髓。该书是中国古代作品中少有的成功学著作，是运筹帷幄的智慧宝典、决胜千里的实用指南。 《三十六计》与《孙子兵法》是中国古代军事理论的精华。西方人花了2500年时间，经历了无数战争，才认识到孙子的伟大和英明：三十六计更是令无数政治家、军事家、商人成名于天下。　　 这两部兵法奇书的实用性已经远远超出了军事战争的范畴，并被广泛运用于政治、经济、外交、金融、职场、商场、处世等各项领域，而且花样还在不断地翻新。正是它们所体现出的这种丰富的智慧和内涵，使得它们流传海内外，让世界各国精英为之着迷。 《素书》一千三百六十字，字字珠玑，句句名言，对复杂的人性把握得木三分，对世间万事万物的本质和发展规律观察得细致微。 《素书全集》不仅包含治国安邦大谋略，更有修身处世、为人之道的小智慧，每一句箴言都是切中要害，一针见血，读来如醍醐灌顶、豁然顿悟，其对人生的指导意义不言而喻，值得我们每个人读上一读。
