Coresponden?a lui Descartes dubleaz? opera sa propriu-zis?, fiind uneori mai expresiv? dec?t aceasta ?i cuprinz?nd cutezan?e filozofice pe care c?r?ile sale nu ?i le ?ng?duie. E aici, ?n paginile acestor scrisori, un Descartes mai viu, mai nuan?at ?n exprimare, mai amplu. O mare g?ndire filozofic?, precum aceasta, nu se resemneaz? cu propria realitate, ci se impune printr-o str?danie de a cuceri con?tiin?a public?, despre care dau seama aceste texte. Ele ?nchid ?n cuprinderea lor imaginea eforturilor prin care filozoful ??i creeaz? premisele posterit??ii sale.

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 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.

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?...

　　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。

　　《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。

作者张汝伦先生在广泛阅读西方大家、名家解读《存在与时间》的诸多文本和专著基础上，用中国古人注疏经典的办法，逐节逐段解读，力图将这样一部晦涩、复杂的作品的文本意义和背后复杂的深意都揭示出来。

本书是英语世界*权威的马克思生平、思想研究文献之一。它的*特色：一是详细剖析了以往不为人注意和重视的后来发表的马克思的思想文献，如马克思的几大本经济学笔记；二是深细致地刻画了马克思一生的生活、工作和理论研究经历，揭示了许多鲜为人知的情况和资料。书中所提供的新资料对我国学界正在盛行的马克思著作的版本和文献研究，无疑有重要参考价值。

本书据阿多诺在1963年5月至7月的讲课稿整理而成，全书围绕着对康德道德哲学的评说而展，并结合阿多诺自身的体会，对整个西方哲学传统中的道德哲学予以了理论反思。在本书中，阿多诺分析了道德哲学与伦理学的区别，认为伦理学概念缩小和简化了对道德或伦理问题的深刻思考，因此他反对用伦理学概念代替道德哲学的概念，主张坚持使用康德意义上的“道德哲学”概念。同时，阿多诺不仅认为道德哲学是一种实践哲学，还认为在更深层次上，道德哲学也是一种理论哲学，因为理论和实践在根本上都来自生活，因而具有同一性。 在行文上，不同于阿多诺其他著作的晦涩难懂，本书朴实直白、明白晓畅，甚至不乏幽默诙谐之处，读者从字里行间也可领略到阿多诺的上课风格。

该著作在深研究的基础上，就列宁关于俄国革命的战略策略思想、巩固苏维埃政权的思想、建设共产国际以及推国际共产主义运动的思想、关于新经济政策的思想，阐述了新的学术观；深地研究、阐述和评价了斯大林的建设社会主义理论以及“社会主义民族”理论；研究和阐述了20世纪20—50年代初苏联理论界对马克思主义理论的研究以及取得的成果，如布哈林关于“过渡经济”的理论、普列奥布拉任斯基的“新经济学”、瓦尔加关于“资本主义经济危机”的理论以及沃兹涅辛斯基对确立社会主义政治经济学的贡献；研究和阐述了联共（布）和一些国家共产党在领导反法西斯战争中形成的思想理论，研究和阐述了联共（布）和其他一些执政的共产党在领导恢复国民经济的实践中实现的理论发展。

 本书是爱尔维修的代表作之一。《论精神》在1758年出版后，书中蕴含的无神论思想和对宗教伦理的批判令当时专制的教廷恐慌不已，被列为禁书。但与此同时，该书却在欧洲广受欢迎，短期内即被译成英文、意大利文和德文。在本书中，爱尔维修继承了洛克唯物主义的感觉论，以人的肉体感受性为基石，建立了以“自爱”为核心的功利主义伦理学。他的思想明，认为追求个人的利益和幸福这种趋乐避苦的“自爱”感情是人所共有的，正是这种人所共有的普遍情感推动着社会的步。此外，他在书中还猛烈抨封建专制制度，并公揭露宗教在保护封建制度中的作用。全书警句迭出，行文通俗，并穿插了大量有趣晓畅的比喻和例子来阐释严肃的社会议题和哲学思想，这深刻反映出爱尔维修不仅是一位伟大的思想家，而且还是一位精于修辞的文学家。

《劝学篇》是晚清名臣张之洞（1837—1909）撰写的近代思想著作，共24篇，4万余言。全书贯穿“旧学为体，新学为用”的论，主张在维护封建统治的基本原则下受西方资本主义的技术，猛烈攻维新派的“议院、兴民权”的学说。此书深得慈禧太后和光绪帝的赏识，得以“挟朝廷之力以行之，不胫而遍于海内”，据称发行数百万册。
