In the town there was a shoemaker by the name of Martin, who lived in a basement with a tiny little window looking out into the street.

New Grub Street
¥40.79
Milvain, one of the two central characters of the novel is a modern young man driven by pure financial ambition in navigating his literary career. He accepts that he will always despise the people he writes for, networks within the appropriate social circle to create opportunity, and authors articles for popular periodicals. Reardon prefers to write novels of a more literary bent and refuses to pander to contemporary tastes until, as a last-gasp measure against financial ruin, he attempts a popular novel.

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!

Politics: A Treatise on Government
¥40.79
The Politics of Aristotle is the second part of a treatise of which the Ethics is the first part. It looks back to the Ethics as the Ethics looks forward to the Politics. For Aristotle did not separate, as we are inclined to do, the spheres of the statesman and the moralist. In the Ethics he has described the character necessary for the good life, but that life is for him essentially to be lived in society, and when in the last chapters of the Ethics he comes to the practical application of his inquiries, that finds expression not in moral exhortations addressed to the individual but in a description of the legislative opportunities of the statesman.
Poetics
¥40.79
Aristotle's Poetics is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls poetry.
On Dreams
¥40.79
We must, in the next place, investigate the subject of the dream, and first inquire to which of the faculties of the soul it presents itself, i.e. whether the affection is one which pertains to the faculty of intelligence or to that of sense-perception; for these are the only faculties within us by which we acquire knowledge.
Apology
¥40.79
Apology presents the speech of self-defence given by Socrates in his trial for impiety and corruption specifically against the charges of corrupting the young, and by not believing in the gods in whom the city believes, but in other daimonia that are novel.
Phaedo
¥40.79
After an interval of some months or years, and at Phlius, a town of Peloponnesus, the tale of the last hours of Socrates is narrated to Echecrates and other Phliasians by Phaedo the beloved disciple. The Dialogue necessarily takes the form of a narrative, because Socrates has to be described acting as well as speaking. The minutest particulars of the event are interesting to distant friends, and the narrator has an equal interest in them.
Timaeus
¥40.79
Of all the writings of Plato the Timaeus is the most obscure and repulsive to the modern reader, and has nevertheless had the greatest influence over the ancient and mediaeval world. The obscurity arises in the infancy of physical science, out of the confusion of theological, mathematical, and physiological notions, out of the desire to conceive the whole of nature without any adequate knowledge of the parts, and from a greater perception of similarities which lie on the surface than of differences which are hidden from view.
Ion
¥40.79
The Ion is the shortest, or nearly the shortest, of all the writings which bear the name of Plato, and is not authenticated by any early external testimony. The grace and beauty of this little work supply the only, and perhaps a sufficient, proof of its genuineness. The plan is simple; the dramatic interest consists entirely in the contrast between the irony of Socrates and the transparent vanity and childlike enthusiasm of the rhapsode Ion.
On the Heavens
¥40.79
The science which has to do with nature clearly concerns itself for the most part with bodies and magnitudes and their properties and movements, but also with the principles of this sort of substance, as many as they may be. For of things constituted by nature some are bodies and magnitudes, some possess body and magnitude, and some are principles of things which possess these. Now a continuum is that which is divisible into parts always capable of subdivision, and a body is that which is every way divisible.
Emile
¥40.79
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.
Walden
¥40.79
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.
我们与恶的距离:关于邪恶的哲学思考
¥41.40
哲学家拉斯·弗雷德里克·H.史文德森对邪恶现象行了哲学审视。他结合来自哲学、文学、心理学、神学和科学(生物学),以及流行文化对邪恶现象的观察,介绍了从古至今哲学家们关于邪恶的思想,抽丝剥茧,试图从复杂性中解析出邪恶的根源和本质。 ·什么是邪恶? ·我们如何抗邪恶? ·从古至今,神学家、哲学家和科学家是如何看待邪恶的? ·在现代和后现代社会,我们如何对邪恶定性? ·思考关于邪恶的概念能为我们理解自身带来何种贡献? 史文德森认为,我们的知识盲让我们对邪恶存在着错误的论断,认为它是一个神学、自然科学或社会科学,甚至是哲学的主题。实际上,邪恶应该是在道德和政治领域处理的具体问题。我们既可能是邪恶的受害者,也可能是作恶者。只有将邪恶视为人性的一面,我们才能理解并它。
印度的宗教:印度教与佛教
¥63.75
本书属于韦伯在宗教社会学上的第三本主要著作,与《中国的宗教:儒教与道教》一起构成“世界诸宗教之经济伦理”之研究成果,属于三大卷本的《宗教社会学论文集》第二卷。作者在本书中研究了印度的宗教。作者认为,对亚洲整体而言,中国扮演了类似法国在近代欧洲所扮演的角色:所有世情通达的“洗练”,莫不是源自中国,再传布于西藏、日本和中南半岛。相反的,在亚洲,举凡超越现实利益的思想,很少能不将其根源追溯到印度的。尤其是,印度的(不管正统或异端的)救赎宗教,在整个亚洲地区扮演了类似于基督教的角色。
