Nightmare Abbey
¥40.79
A morose widower, Mr Glowry lives with his only son Scythrop in his semi-dilapidated family mansion Nightmare Abbey, which is situated on a strip of dry land between the sea and the fens in Lincolnshire. Mr Glowry is a melancholy gentleman who likes to surround himself with servants with long faces or dismal names such as Raven, Graves or Deathshead. The few visitors he welcomes to his home are mostly of a similar cast of mind: Mr Flosky, a transcendental philosopher; Mr Toobad, a Manichaean Millenarian; Mr Listless, Scythrop's languid and world-weary college friend; and Mr Cypress, a misanthropic poet.
The Gift of The Magi
¥40.79
The magi, as you know, were wise men – wonderfully wise men – who brought gifts to the new-born King of the Jews in the manger. They invented the art of giving Christmas presents. Being wise, their gifts were no doubt wise ones, possibly bearing the privilege of exchange in case of duplication. And here I have lamely related to you the uneventful chronicle of two foolish children in a flat who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.
The Story of The Teasing Monkey
¥40.79
Once upon a time there was a very mischievous little monkey, who lived in a big banyan tree, and his name was Jacko. And in the jungle below there lived a huge, fierce old lion and lioness.
Laws
¥40.79
The Laws are discussed by three representatives of Athens, Crete, and Sparta. The Athenian, as might be expected, is the protagonist or chief speaker, while the second place is assigned to the Cretan, who, as one of the leaders of a new colony, has a special interest in the conversation. At least four-fifths of the answers are put into his mouth. The Spartan is every inch a soldier, a man of few words himself, better at deeds than words. The Athenian talks to the two others, although they are his equals in age, in the style of a master discoursing to his scholars; he frequently praises himself; he entertains a very poor opinion of the understanding of his companions.
Reverie cu flori de cire
¥40.79
A fi rom?n? ?E o ru?ine!“, exclama Cioran. ?n ce m?sur? filosoful de la Paris avea dreptate? Ce ?nseamn? ?a fi rom?n“ ?ntr-o fals? tranzi?ie care aparent nu se mai termin?? La aceste ?i multe alte ?ntreb?ri ?ncearc? s? r?spund? scriitorul Ionel Necula ?n opus-ul de fa??, care ?nsumeaz? analize ale r?sturn?rilor sociale evidente, ?nregistrate ?n ultimii ?aptesprezece ani. Nu ?ntotdeauna comod, spiritul coroziv al autorului ??i spune cuv?ntul, av?nd uneori accente incendiare.
Wild Apples
¥40.79
It is remarkable how closely the history of the Apple-tree is connected with that of man. The geologist tells us that the order of the Rosaceae, which includes the Apple, also the true Grasses, and the Labiatae, or Mints, were introduced only a short time previous to the appearance of man on the globe.
Canoeing in the wilderness
¥40.79
At the time Thoreau made this wilderness canoe trip he was forty years old. The record of the journey is the latter half of his The Maine Woods, which is perhaps the finest idyl of the forest ever written. It is particularly charming in its blending of meditative and poetic fancies with the minute description of the voyager’s experiences.

On Interpretation
¥40.79
On Interpretation is among the earliest surviving philosophical works in the Western tradition to deal with the relationship between language and logic in a comprehensive, explicit, and formal way.
On Longevity and Shortness of Life
¥40.79
The reasons for some animals being long-lived and others short-lived, and, in a word, causes of the length and brevity of life.
Gorgias
¥40.79
In several of the dialogues of Plato, doubts have arisen among his interpreters as to which of the various subjects discussed in them is the main thesis. The speakers have the freedom of conversation; no severe rules of art restrict them, and sometimes we are inclined to think, with one of the dramatis personae in the Theaetetus, that the digressions have the greater interest. Yet in the most irregular of the dialogues there is also a certain natural growth or unity; the beginning is not forgotten at the end, and numerous allusions and references are interspersed, which form the loose connecting links of the whole.
Phaedrus
¥40.79
The Phaedrus is closely connected with the Symposium, and may be regarded either as introducing or following it. The two Dialogues together contain the whole philosophy of Plato on the nature of love, which in the Republic and in the later writings of Plato is only introduced playfully or as a figure of speech. But in the Phaedrus and Symposium love and philosophy join hands, and one is an aspect of the other. The spiritual and emotional part is elevated into the ideal, to which in the Symposium mankind are described as looking forward, and which in the Phaedrus, as well as in the Phaedo, they are seeking to recover from a former state of existence.
Protagoras
¥40.79
The Protagoras, like several of the Dialogues of Plato, is put into the mouth of Socrates, who describes a conversation which had taken place between himself and the great Sophist at the house of Callias—'the man who had spent more upon the Sophists than all the rest of the world'—and in which the learned Hippias and the grammarian Prodicus had also shared, as well as Alcibiades and Critias, both of whom said a few words—in the presence of a distinguished company consisting of disciples of Protagoras and of leading Athenians belonging to the Socratic circle.
On Generation and Corruption
¥40.79
Our next task is to study coming-to-be and passing-away. We are to distinguish the causes, and to state the definitions, of these processes considered in general-as changes predicable uniformly of all the things that come-to-be and pass-away by nature. Further, we are to study growth and 'alteration'. We must inquire what each of them is; and whether 'alteration' is to be identified with coming-to-be, or whether to these different names there correspond two separate processes with distinct natures.
The Critique of Practical Reason
¥40.79
The Critique of Practical Reason follows on from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason and deals with his moral philosophy. The second Critique exercised a decisive influence over the subsequent development of the field of ethics and moral philosophy, beginning with Johann Gottlieb Fichte's Doctrine of Science and becoming, during the 20th century, the principal reference point for deontological moral philosophy.
Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals
¥40.79
The first of Immanuel Kant's mature works on moral philosophy and remains one of the most influential in the field. Kant conceives his investigation as a work of foundational ethics, one that clears the ground for future research by explaining the core concepts and principles of moral theory and showing that they are normative for rational agents. Kant aspires to nothing less than this: to lay bare the fundamental principle of morality and show that it applies to us.
The Great Learning
¥40.79
What the great learning teaches, is to illustrate illustrious virtue; to renovate the people; and to rest in the highest excellence. The point where to rest being known, the object of pursuit is then determined; and, that being determined, a calm unperturbedness may be attained to. To that calmness there will succeed a tranquil repose. In that repose there may be careful deliberation, and that deliberation will be followed by the attainment of the desired end.
The Civil Wars, Book 3
¥40.79
Julius Caesar, holding the election as dictator, was himself appointed consul with Publius Servilius; for this was the year in which it was permitted by the laws that he should be chosen consul. This business being ended, as credit was beginning to fail in Italy, and the debts could not be paid, he determined that arbitrators should be appointed: and that they should make an estimate of the possessions and properties of the debtors, how much they were worth before the war, and that they should be handed over in payment to the creditors. This he thought the most likely method to remove and abate the apprehension of an abolition of debt, the usual consequence of civil wars and dissensions, and to support the credit of the debtors.
一只蚁群中的蚂蚁
¥40.60
蚁群中为服从集体指令埋头工作的蚂蚁找不到自己的生命意义。集体的发展和进步固然重要,但对每一个个体而言,我们都需要找到自己存在的重要性和价值。 生命的意义究竟是什么?这个问题曾吸引无数伟大哲学家深入探讨,也曾被蒙提·派森剧团以辛辣幽默的方式解构。事实上,许多人觉得追问生命意义本身似乎带着几分浮夸与荒诞——人类的存在背后,真的存在某种深邃的唯 一终 极意义吗? 在这本书中,朱利安·巴吉尼给出了否定答案。他认为,生命并不存在单一的意义,但我们可以通过多种方式在现实世界中寻获意义。通过将虚无缥缈、玄妙深奥的“生命意义”之问,转化为一系列更具体、更贴近现实的追问“什么赋予了生命的目的与价值?”,巴吉尼精辟地剖析了六种常见答案:帮助他人、服务人类、保持快乐、获得成功、珍惜当下以及解放心灵。他经由严密的论证指出,对意义的探寻可以是个性化的、充满力量与希望的。 生命的意义并非空中楼阁,过上有意义的生活本就是我们力所能及之事,只要细心观察,我们便能发现:生命获得意义的途径其实无处不在。我们既能认识到幸福的价值,又能懂得它并非生活的全部;既能理解成功的意义,又不囿于主流价值观对其的狭隘定义;既能体会把握当下的珍贵,又能助力他人活出生命的意义。更重要的是,我们能借由这趟意义探寻之旅,更好地体认爱的价值——它可能是驱使我们做任何事情的* 强 大动因。 巴吉尼不仅援引众多哲学家的思想,还融入日常生活实例,清晰有力地阐明:我们不是蚁群中的蚂蚁,对意义的追寻是一场属于每个人的旅程,而我们每个人都拥有找到答案的能力。
野性心灵,野性大地
¥40.60
我们所栖居的星球,正滑向一场由人类亲手铸就的第六次大灭绝灾难。这一生态危机的源头并非天灾,而是植根于西方文明的形而上学二元论。这种将思维与物质、主观与客观彻底割裂的传统,导致了对心灵与大地原初亲缘的彻底遗忘。 戴维·欣顿以唐诗(杜牧《鹭鸶》)为引,直指核心:阻止这场危机,是关乎精神与哲学的命题。我们必须终结那种将自然贬为工具、引发剥削性破坏的自我预设。欣顿呼吁重拾修复人与地球关系的智慧,尤其是道家-禅宗的“见性”修行,这种洞察要求我们达到“空心”的境界,超越狭隘的自我,去感知山水、风景所蕴含的宇宙生生之力。作者展示了这种古老见解如何在西方得到了充分印证,并为人类提供了一个回归生命本质的生态愿景。 第六次灭绝可能无法扭转,然而欣顿的诗意之思提供了深刻的慰藉。这本作品不仅是对生态危机的警世之言,更是一部指引我们回归内在和谐、在万物流转中实现逍遥游的哲学指南。
日常的深处
¥40.60
在物质生活高度繁荣的今天,人们时常被外物所累,“想”回到相对贫乏的过去,重回人与物的和谐关系。 为什么柴火灶比煤气灶烧菜更香? 为什么自行车比汽车似乎更能承载? 为什么炉子比暖气更暖人心? 这种对过去生活的罗曼蒂克的想法值得玩味。作者王小伟琢磨了一种恰当的、刻画生活的手段,从怀旧的影像中梳理内心,透过自身的经验和长辈的回忆,回顾*十年代以来我们熟悉的技术人工物(俗称“东西”)是如何生灭的,试图解释为什么在之前的岁月物件是如此金贵,仿佛家庭成员,而现在的物件变成了纯粹的商品,不再需要人花心力照顾,只剩下干瘪的使用价值。这或许反映了人们生活底层的逻辑发生了不小的变化。 本书中所谈论的诸多技术物是“70后”“80后”和“90后”共同的回忆,有些是比较单纯的设备,比如电视、手机,有些是直接和生活相关的技术产品,比如住房和穿衣,还有饮食。王小伟以技术哲学为基,打破学术和文学的壁垒,写下这本以日常用品为主角的小书,刻画一段我们共同走过的集体历史。
