《法义》是柏拉图*长的著作，以探讨“政制与礼法”为主旨。在西方法哲学史上，柏拉图首次考察了立法的目的及其哲学基础、立法与德性等根本问题。本文集选编了潘戈、拉克斯等著名学者的十一篇论文，集中探讨柏拉图《法义》关于立法与德性的问题，主要关注柏拉图这几个方面的论述： 首先，立法不应着眼于战争的胜利和财富，亦即基于*的和片面的德性（勇敢）。克里特和斯巴达之所以如此看待立法的目的，是因为他们将诸城邦间的战争、人人皆敌视为自然状态，从地理性和物质性的“自然”来解释立法的目的，而非依据诸德性的自然秩序和人的自然本性。 其次，真正的立法旨在获得完整的德性：理智、明智、节制、正义和勇敢。立法以完整的德性特别是以理智为目标。因此，柏拉图暗中将哲学设定为立法的基础，也就改变了立法的目的：立法由培养勇敢和追求财富转向追求整体德性和人的完满，立法更应关注灵魂的优异而非身体的需要。 *后，在每一种法律中，都会存在某种德性观，立法的意图应尽量从*的德性转向完整的德性。在此意义上，哲学对立法和政治始终有鉴照作用。指向德政的立法可彰显现实城邦的不足，引领其走向完善。  

More’s “Utopia” was written in Latin, and is in two parts, of which the second, describing the place ([Greek text]—or Nusquama, as he called it sometimes in his letters—“Nowhere”), was probably written towards the close of 1515; the first part, introductory, early in 1516. The book was first printed at Louvain, late in 1516, under the editorship of Erasmus, Peter Giles, and other of More’s friends in Flanders. It was then revised by More, and printed by Frobenius at Basle in November, 1518. It was reprinted at Paris and Vienna, but was not printed in England during More’s lifetime. Its first publication in this country was in the English translation, made in Edward’s VI.’s reign (1551) by Ralph Robinson. It was translated with more literary skill by Gilbert Burnet, in 1684, soon after he had conducted the defence of his friend Lord William Russell, attended his execution, vindicated his memory, and been spitefully deprived by James II. of his lectureship at St. Clement’s. Burnet was drawn to the translation of “Utopia” by the same sense of unreason in high places that caused More to write the book. Burnet’s is the translation given in this volume. The name of the book has given an adjective to our language—we call an impracticable scheme Utopian. Yet, under the veil of a playful fiction, the talk is intensely earnest, and abounds in practical suggestion. It is the work of a scholarly and witty Englishman, who attacks in his own way the chief political and social evils of his time. Beginning with fact, More tells how he was sent into Flanders with Cuthbert Tunstal, “whom the king’s majesty of late, to the great rejoicing of all men, did prefer to the office of Master of the Rolls;” how the commissioners of Charles met them at Bruges, and presently returned to Brussels for instructions; and how More then went to Antwerp, where he found a pleasure in the society of Peter Giles which soothed his desire to see again his wife and children, from whom he had been four months away. Then fact slides into fiction with the finding of Raphael Hythloday (whose name, made of two Greek words [Greek text] and [Greek text], means “knowing in trifles”), a man who had been with Amerigo Vespucci in the three last of the voyages to the new world lately discovered, of which the account had been first printed in 1507, only nine years before Utopia was written. Designedly fantastic in suggestion of details, “Utopia” is the work of a scholar who had read Plato’s “Republic,” and had his fancy quickened after reading Plutarch’s account of Spartan life under Lycurgus. Beneath the veil of an ideal communism, into which there has been worked some witty extravagance, there lies a noble English argument. Sometimes More puts the case as of France when he means England. Sometimes there is ironical praise of the good faith of Christian kings, saving the book from censure as a political attack on the policy of Henry VIII. Erasmus wrote to a friend in 1517 that he should send for More’s “Utopia,” if he had not read it, and “wished to see the true source of all political evils.” And to More Erasmus wrote of his book, “A burgomaster of Antwerp is so pleased with it that he knows it all by heart.” Sir Thomas More, son of Sir John More, a justice of the King’s Bench, was born in 1478, in Milk Street, in the city of London. After his earlier education at St. Anthony’s School, in Threadneedle Street, he was placed, as a boy, in the household of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor. It was not unusual for persons of wealth or influence and sons of good families to be so established together in a relation of patron and client. The youth wore his patron’s livery, and added to his state. The patron used, afterwards, his wealth or influence in helping his young client forward in the world.

"洛克在这部著作中所提出并要解决的中心问题是关于人类知识的起源，可靠性和范围。本书一开头他首先批判了笛卡尔主张知识起源上的所谓“天赋观念”以及莱布尼兹的所谓“天赋实践原则”这样一个在认识论上的唯心主义观点，并且从而提出了他的那个有名的白板论，即认识的来源是经验这样一个有巨大意义的唯物主义论点。不过，洛克在经验论上的唯物主义是不彻底的，正如他的政治观点、阶级立场是妥协的一样。所以他的哲学观点不仅影响了后来的唯物主义者(特别是法国百科全书派的启蒙思想家)，同时也被唯心主义者(特别是贝克莱和休谟)有隙可乘地加以利用和歪曲。

《论物体》是17世纪英国哲学家霍布斯（1588-1679）的一部专论其物体哲学或自然哲学的著作。该著*初以拉丁文写成，于1655年出版。1668年，该著作为《霍布斯哲学著作全集（拉丁文版）》*部分的内容予以再版。1839年，威廉•莫尔斯沃思将其翻译成英文，作为他所编辑出版的11卷本的《托马斯•霍布斯英文著作集》的第1卷出版。霍布斯不仅对译著行了修订，而且还对原著行了增补，甚至重写了其中两章。因此，莫尔斯沃思强调说，英文版《论物体》表达的“完全”是“作者自己的观念和意思”。本书就是根据这个英译本翻译出来的。 霍布斯是唯物主义第二种形态即机械唯物主义的典型代表。物体观是霍布斯机械唯物主义哲学的基石。因为按照他的机械唯物主义世界观，哲学的*对象是物体，而物体有两类：一类为自然物体，一类为国家。据此，霍布斯将其哲学区分为两个部分：“自然哲学”与“公民哲学”（公民哲学又细分为“伦理学”和“政治学”）。在《论物体》这部著作中，霍布斯在对其哲学的一般原理做出阐述的基础上着重阐述了他的“自然哲学”，其*重要性不言而喻。 《论物体》主体部分共分4篇30章。*篇“计算或逻辑学”共6章；第二篇“哲学的*根据”共含8章；第三篇“论运动与量的比例”共10章；第四篇“物理学，或自然现象”共含6章。

本书是一部讲述西方哲学发展历程的著作，其雏形为梯利教授在大学任教时的讲义。全书分中英文两册，具体分为希腊哲学、中世纪哲学、近代哲学三编。往下又划分为自然哲学、知识和行为问题、重建时期、伦理运动、宗教运动、基督教和中世纪哲学的古典来源、经院哲学的形成期、文艺复兴时期的哲学、英国经验主义的开端、欧洲大陆的唯理论、启蒙运动哲学、康德的批判哲学、德国的唯心主义、黑格尔之后的德国哲学、法国和英国的哲学、法对理性主义和唯心主义等二十篇。篇下设章，讲述更为具体。文后附原书索引，便于读者检索细目。中文字数接近七十万，是一部规模宏大的哲学史著作。此次中英文对照出版，规模浩大，出版方特意延请业内的哲学博士、博士后共同翻译打造校准，力求让此选题更加精准、完善，让更多学人、哲学爱好者，一起了解并传播西方哲学。

　　此书与西方同类著作的*区别是，从基督教神学原著中挖掘其美学理论层面上的东西，而不是从所谓十字架荣耀意义上行象征性的描述。书中分阶段介绍了时代氛围，代表人物及其观，并做了简要深的评论。

Paradise Lost is an epic poem in blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton (1608–1674). The first version, published in 1667, consisted of ten books with over ten thousand lines of verse. A second edition followed in 1674, arranged into twelve books (in the manner of Virgil's Aeneid) with minor revisions throughout and a note on the versification. It is considered by critics to be Milton's "major work", and helped solidify his reputation as one of the greatest English poets of his time. The poem concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man: the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Milton's purpose, stated in Book I, is to "justify the ways of God to men" Short Summary:The poem is separated into twelve "books" or sections, the lengths of which vary greatly (the longest is Book IX, with 1,189 lines, and the shortest Book VII, with 640). The Arguments at the head of each book were added in subsequent imprints of the first edition. Originally published in ten books, a fully "Revised and Augmented" edition reorganized into twelve books was issued in 1674, and this is the edition generally used today. The poem follows the epic tradition of starting in medias res (Latin for in the midst of things), the background story being recounted later.Milton's story has two narrative arcs, one about Satan (Lucifer) and the other following Adam and Eve. It begins after Satan and the other rebel angels have been defeated and banished to Hell, or, as it is also called in the poem, Tartarus. In Pand?monium, Satan employs his rhetorical skill to organise his followers; he is aided by Mammon and Beelzebub. Belial and Moloch are also present. At the end of the debate, Satan volunteers to poison the newly created Earth and God's new and most favoured creation, Mankind. He braves the dangers of the Abyss alone in a manner reminiscent of Odysseus or Aeneas. After an arduous traversal of the Chaos outside Hell, he enters God's new material World, and later the Garden of Eden. At several points in the poem, an Angelic War over Heaven is recounted from different perspectives. Satan's rebellion follows the epic convention of large-scale warfare. The battles between the faithful angels and Satan's forces take place over three days. At the final battle, the Son of God single-handedly defeats the entire legion of angelic rebels and banishes them from Heaven. Following this purge, God creates the World, culminating in his creation of Adam and Eve. While God gave Adam and Eve total freedom and power to rule over all creation, He gave them one explicit command: not to eat from the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil on penalty of death.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, was born at Boston in 1803 into a distinguished family of New England Unitarian ministers. His was the eighth generation to enter the ministry in a dynasty that reached back to the earliest days of Puritan America. Despite the death of his father when Emerson was only eleven, he was able to be educated at Boston Latin School and then Harvard, from which he graduated in 1821. After several years of reluctant school teaching, he returned to the Harvard Divinity School, entering the Unitarian ministry during a period of robust ecclesiastic debate. By 1829 Emerson was married and well on his way to a promising career in the church through his appointment to an important congregation in Boston. However, his career in the ministry did not last long. Following the death of his first wife, Ellen, his private religious doubts led him to announce his resignation to his congregation, claiming he was unable to preach a doctrine he no longer believed and that "to be a good minister it was necessary to leave the ministry."With the modest legacy left him from his first wife, Emerson was able to devote himself to study and travel. In Europe he met many of the important Romantic writers whose ideas on art, philosophy, and literature were transforming the writing of the Nineteenth Century. He also continued to explore his own ideas in a series of voluminous journals which he had kept from his earliest youth and from which virtually all of his literary creation would be generated. Taking up residence in Concord, Massachusetts, Emerson devoted himself to study, writing and a series of public lectures in the growing lyceum movement. From these lyceum addresses Emerson developed and then in 1836 published his most important work, Nature. Its publication also coincided with his organizing role in the Transcendental Club, a group of leading New England educators, clergy, and intellectuals interested in idealistic religion, philosophy, and literature.

本书是作者三十年来所提出的人性理论重新研究的结果。它运用“应该”只能通过“主体目的”而从“事实”推导出来的元理论方法，一方面论证人性事实如何之16种、6类型、6规律；另一方面则从中通过道德目的与道德终极标准，推导出人性应该如何之善恶6原则，一期破解两千多年人类一直争论不休的一系列人性难题。它以应该与事实的关系为轴心，融会古今中外人性理论，试图创立一种严密精确的、可以操作的、具有*限度包容性与放性的人性论科学体系。

　　莎士比亚的写作在英国历史中所选择的时期表明了他的兴趣所在。从 1199年理查二世流放争吵不休的赫里福伯爵和毛博瑞伯爵到1485年瑞奇蒙德伯爵在堡斯沃斯战场败理查三世，并作为亨利七世建立都铎王朝，其间很长一段时间都是王朝的更迭。这些王朝更迭被莎士比亚写了他的所谓的两组四部曲申，个四部曲包括《理查二世》、《亨利四世》（上、下篇）和《亨利五世》。第二个四部曲包括《亨利六世》（上、中、下篇）和《理查三世》。这八个剧目展现了英格兰血腥的一个世纪：内战岁月。 　　莎士比亚跟马基雅维里一样，建议用对立统一的原理来解决政治的根本难题。他把自己比喻成狮子与綿羊的结合而非狮子与狐狸的结合。这反映出，他更关注的是君主的正义而非君主的辉煌，或者说，他关注的是使君主的正义成为他辉煌的根基。 　　莎士比亚非常认同马基雅维里的观，君主应该知道如何避免为表象所欺的重要性。灵魂的财富提供了必不可少的制约，制约那种容易被表象所欺的倾向。在地位高贵的人物身上，这一倾向非常明显，他们尤其容易被表象所迷惑。莎士比亚经营的就是这种灵魂的财富。
