Long ago, in the merry days of good King Arthur, there lived a ploughman and his wife. They were very poor, but would have been contented and happy if only they could have had a little child. One day, having heard of the great fame of the magician Merlin, who was living at the Court of King Arthur, the wife persuaded her husband to go and tell him of their trouble. Having arrived at the Court, the man besought Merlin with tears in his eyes to give them a child, saying that they would be quite content even though it should be no bigger than his thumb. Merlin determined to grant the request, and what was the countryman’s astonishment to find when he reached home that his wife had a son, who, wonderful to relate, was no bigger than his father’s thumb!

　　如果说，当今社会有一套帮大家如何获得快乐、如何避免不快乐的知识体系，那显然孔子的思想体系更合适。它能让你成为一个没有敌人的人——仁者，起码也能让你变成一个在朋友圈有吸引力和比较受尊重的人。 　　很多人这辈子都没活好，总想活出超越这辈子的境界，但很容易走偏。其实，《论语说什么》告诉我们：哪怕我们在正道上前得慢一儿，也比走岔路而绕不回来的好。 　　一个人上半生主要是求存，下半生慢慢就要求真。求存是向外的，求真是向内的。不管是求存，还是求真，都要有一个学习的过程。因为你改变不了命运，但可以通过学习改变自己处理命运的能力。 　　读《论语说什么》，zui起码可以让你在糟糕的生活中成为一个不太糟糕的人——勤勉而好学，爱生活但不炫耀，正确地好色……

Zakhar Prilepin’s novel-in-stories, Sin, has become a literary phenomenon in Russia, where it was published in 2007. It has been hailed as the epitome of the spirit of the opening decade of the 21st century, and was called “the book of the decade” by the prestigious Super Natsbest Award jury. Now available for the first time in English, it not only embodies the reality of post-perestroika Russia, but also shows that even in this reality, just like in any other, it is possible to maintain a positive attitude while remaining human. Zakharka is young, strong, in love with love and with life’s random, telling moments. In the episodes of his life, presented here in non-chronological order, we see him as a little boy, a lovelorn teenager, a hard-drinking grave-digger, a nightclub bouncer, a father, and a soldier in Chechnya. He even writes poetry, and his stylistically varied verses are presented in the penultimate chapter of the book. Loving life, he looks boldly, and even with curiosity, into the face of death – taking pictures of the deceased at a funeral, staring with agitation at the entrails of a just-disembowelled pig, chronicling the death of a childhood friend – and values the freedom of not fearing his own end. It is family that ultimately defines happiness for Zakharka; but it is also family that makes him realize, on the desolate Chechen border, that his love for them has deprived him of this freedom. Sin offers a fascinating glimpse into the recent Russian past, as well as its present, with its unemployment, poverty, violence, and local wars – social problems that may be found in many corners of the world. Zakhar Prilepin presents these realities through the eyes of Zakharka, taking us along on the life-affirming journey of his unforgettable protagonist.

　　影响中国古代士人心态变化的又一重要方面，是思潮。我们通常都谈到诸如两汉的儒学一尊的思想潮流、魏晋玄学、宋明理学等等对于士人的影响。这些影响是如何行的，通过什么样的渠道，轻重浅深，如何始，如何了结，似乎就有一连串的问题需要回答。我们可以对这些思潮作义理的细微辨析，但是它们如何的士人的内心，变成他们的人生取向，融他们的感情世界，我们就所知甚少。有时我常瞑想，王阳明在越，每临讲座，环坐而听者数百人，四方来学者比屋而居，每一室合食者常数十，夜无卧处，更相就席，歌声彻昏旦。阳明门人王艮讲学，听者近千。他们何所求而来？他们想些什么？他们的内心是怎样的一种境界？他们所追求的理论，是如何的融他们的人性深处？如果我们都了解了，我们也许就会看到一群活生生的人从逝去的历史中复活。我们会同其悲，同其喜。我们对于历史，就会有一种亲切感。历史就不会是一组枯燥的数字和一些事件的罗列。我们对于人生，或者就会有更深的感悟。 　　影响中国古代士人心态变化的又一方面，是提供给他们什么样的生活出路。现实的生活状况是决定一个人的心境的非常实在的因素。他们有什么样的生活条件，就可能产生什么样的想法。我们看明代嘉靖以后的士人，他们中的一部分人，虽也为屡试不第而苦恼，但是那苦恼又常常很快消逝。因为他们并非只有仕一途。他们还有其他的生活出路，可仕可商，可卖文卖书卖画，他们还有生存的广阔空间，有人甚至还可能获得极高的社会地位。考察他们的生活出路，有可能了解他们的心绪。

　　《人心与人生》是梁漱溟自认为*重要的一部著作。梁漱溟内心中“自谓负有沟通中外古今学术思想的历史使命”，而他的这种历史感与使命感的精神力量，则集中表现在他*后一本《人心与人生》一书中。梁氏一生著述达30余部，但代表他思想转变与哲学菁华的，却是这本《人心与人生》。这本书也是作者写作时间*长，思虑*精深的一部著作，从立意到刊布经历了半个多世纪之久。此书*吸引人之处，也是存在*争议之处是作者预言人类文化的前途是西方文化的没落，中国文化的崛起。

本书是我国近代著名哲学家李石岑先生的代表作之一，也是在“中西比较”框架下行中国哲学研究的风气之作。作者首先从整体上对中西方哲学的几个重要发展阶段和代表性思想家加以对比，而后选取了中国哲学*重要的九个流派思想，深各派哲学文本，分别作详尽的评述，其援西中的研究路和精辟观在同时期的中国哲学著作中可谓独树一帜。

此书是中国本伦理学史著作。作者先在绪论中将伦理学与修身书、伦理学史与伦理学行区分，正文中又把中国伦理学史分为先秦创始时代、汉唐继承时代和宋明理学时代三个时期，对各个时期伦理学说之渊源行考察，而后分别论述伦理学家之思想，实为中国伦理学史的奠基之作。

三教关系问题在目前中国哲学史、思想史、宗教史等研究界受到高度关注，已成为学术界讨论的热问题。为了呼应、推动学术界对这一问题的研究，本刊特别策划“三教关系专号”，邀请国内外长期从事三教关系问题的十七位专家，专门就这一问题撰写论文。专号分为儒、释、道三教关系，儒、道关系，佛、道关系等不同分题，从不同角度展示中国思想史中不同历史阶段，三教关系讨论的热问题及三教关系的不同特。全书共计27万余字。“三教关系专号”的编辑、策划在国内学术界尚属首次，我们希望以此推动国内外学术界对三教关系问题的研究。

该书选择“文本秩序”为切，将桓谭与两汉之际对经典文本的阐释方式揭示出来，甚具典型意义。作者认为文本秩序与社会秩序具有密切的联系，甚至一定程度上说，文本秩序是社会稳定程度的反映。由此出发考察了桓谭与两汉之际的学术背景、古今文经学的争辩、桓谭的史学、音乐、政治、军事、文学等思想。对当下颇为引人注目的文本研究当有启发与推动作用。 本书为国家社科基金后期资助项目。

南怀瑾先生在台北时，曾以“如何修证佛法”为主题，设系列讲座，共二十八次。这些讲座的内容，经记录整理，便形成了本书。书中以“见”（见地）、“修”（修证）、“行”（行愿）为重，以《楞严经》《法华经》《增一阿含经》《起世经》《华严经》《瑜伽师地论》《现观庄严论》《宗镜录》《指月录》《密宗道次第广论》《菩提道次第广论》等佛典为资料，结合自身的修持经验，对佛教的修持方法作了简洁明了的阐述，既有要提示，又有例证说明，是南先生*重要的著述之一。
