Emile is a treatise on the nature of education and on the nature of man written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who considered it to be the best and most important of all his writings. During the French Revolution, Emile served as the inspiration for what became a new national system of education.

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.

The Doctrine of the Mean is a text rich with symbolism and guidance to perfecting oneself. The person who follows the mean is on a path of duty and must never leave it. A superior person is cautious, a gentle teacher and shows no contempt for his or her inferiors.

On the defeat of Pharnaces and reduction of Africa, those who escaped from those battles fled to young Cn. Pompey, who had taken possession of Further Spain, while Caesar was detained in Italy in exhibiting games. Pompey began to throw himself on the protection of every state, in order the more readily to establish the means of defense against him. Accordingly, with a considerable force which had been collected, partly by entreaty, partly by force, he began to lay waste the province. Under these circumstances some states voluntarily sent him supplies, others shut the gates of their towns against him. If any of these chanced to fall into his hands by assault, although some citizen in it had deserved well of Cn. Pompey (his father), yet some cause was alleged against him on account of the greatness of his wealth, so that, he being dispatched, his fortune might become the reward of the soldiers.

We have already discussed the first causes of nature, and all natural motion, also the stars ordered in the motion of the heavens, and the physical element-enumerating and specifying them and showing how they change into one another-and becoming and perishing in general. There remains for consideration a part of this inquiry which all our predecessors called meteorology. It is concerned with events that are natural, though their order is less perfect than that of the first of the elements of bodies. They take place in the region nearest to the motion of the stars. Such are the milky way, and comets, and the movements of meteors.

Elsewhere we have investigated in detail the movement of animals after their various kinds, the differences between them, and the reasons for their particular characters (for some animals fly, some swim, some walk, others move in various other ways); there remains an investigation of the common ground of any sort of animal movement whatsoever.

“陌生人社会”的来临，为当代中国展示了全新的生活场景和伦理视野，同时导致了许多未曾遇到的新挑战、新困惑：面对数不清的“陌生人”，我们应该以怎样的伦理经验与其交往？以往的伦理规范和处事准则能否被简单移植到“陌生人”身上？在喧闹的现代都市，陌生的居民之间如何和睦相处？以往人们对“陌生人”的道德想象，能否作为直面“陌生人”时的道德推理机制？如何解决“人情味”与“公德心”之间的内在冲突？……本书围绕“陌生人社会”所生发的一系列伦理道德问题，从思辨和经验两个层面做出了有益思考和尝试性回答，对解决“陌生人社会”的道德困境有所助益。

本书是新康德主义弗莱堡学派创始人文德尔班的代表作，与广为人知的《哲学史教程》相互配合，构成新康德主义哲学的基本纲领，对哲学门者也有很好的引导作用。全书以存在（理论）问题和价值问题的区分为基础，以价值的存在与存在的价值之间的关系立论，探讨了本体论、发生论、认识论、伦理学、美学、宗教等各类哲学问题。作者关注重大哲学主题所蕴含的内在力量，以日常生活和科学中的朴素预设为出发，从哲学史的流变手，试图解释处理这些问题的各种趋势及其分歧，并将生命中的基本问题简明扼要地呈现出来，旨在呼唤读者思索生命中的重大问题。

Inigo (Ignatius de Loyola) begins as a hot-headed, street-fighting sensualist, in this action-packed play but due to serious injury in a sword-fight, he has to spend time recovering and reassessing his dissolute life. This stage version of his life follows his transformation to become the co-founder of the Jesuits in the sixteenth century, battling the powers of the day and the Inquisition. In Moore's bold, funny play, he asserts Inigo's position as a radical figure bent on changing the Catholic Church.?? This play is not only for those interested in Inigo and the Jesuits. It is also about individuals who fight for change against an implacable Establishment and it is ideal for performing in schools, colleges and theatres. Of special interest to schools and colleges, many of which are named after Inigo (Ignatius de Loyola).?Inigo's spiritual tools for change have informed other self-development programs such as the 12 step program for recovering drug and alcohol addicts. As Pope Francis is a Jesuit, this is a timely exploration of one of history's major spiritual leaders and reformers. "This is the most interesting play text to have reached me for a while... Ignatius of Loyala, founder of the Jesuits is not the most obvious choice for a play subject until you remember that he was effectively a counter-cultural radical fighting an implacable establishment suddenly it s both topical and relevant. I hope this thoughtful, engaging and very funny in places eight-hander will get more outings very soon. If not read the text anyway." --Susan Elkin, The Stage"Brilliantly written... a great evening of thoughtful and dynamic theatre." --Mark Lawson, arts correspondent"The structure and dynamism of the play, the art with which Jonathan Moore makes Ignatius accessible to us, capturing much of the drama of the Spiritual Exercises themselves, would also make I?igo an excellent discovery for schools and colleges." --James Hanvey SJ, Master of Campion Hall, University of Oxford, Thinking Faith Jonathan Moore is an award-winning actor, writer and director.

　　《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！

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?"

　　《新教伦理与资本主义精神》是马克斯·韦伯著名的作品。在这部作品中，韦伯提出了一个知名的论：新教教徒的思想影响了资本主义的发展。宗教教徒往往排斥世俗的事务，尤其是经济成就上的追求，但为什么新教教徒却是例外？ 　　韦伯在该书中论述宗教观念（新教伦理）与隐藏在资本主义发展背后的某种心理驱力（资本主义精神）之间的关系。韦伯列举了新教、清教、加尔文教等教徒生活、学习的例子并加以分析得出：资本主义的兴起和成功与新教盛行存在着相互影响的关系。新教世禁欲主义伦理为资本主义企业家提供了心理驱动力和道德能量，从而成为现代资本主义得以兴起的重要条件之一。
