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.

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.

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.

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.

Walden follows Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. In Civil Disobedience Thoreau argues that individuals should not permit governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that they have a duty to avoid allowing such acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice.

An anthology of several essays by American transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau. The book includes an introduction entitled 'Biographical Sketch' in which fellow transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson provides a description of Thoreau and nine of nine of Thoreau's essays: Natural History of Massachusetts, A Walk to Wachusett, The Landlord, A Winter Walk, The Succession of Forest Trees, Walking, Autumnal Tints, Wild Apples, and Night and Moonlight.

《否定的辩证法》是德国哲学家、西方马克思主义法兰克福学派重要代表阿多诺的主要代表作。在本书中阿多诺首先批判了哲学对同一性的追求，强调辩证法的本质是否定。他认为，古往今来哲学对“同一性”的追求是行不通的，根本不存在*的*性，任何想寻找原初事物或概念的哲学都走上了错误的道路，从而加强了社会上的极权主义和盲从主义倾向。辩证法的根本特征是否定性。其次，阿多诺绕辩证法的矛盾法则，落脚于法兰克福学派的社会批判主题。他认为真正意义上的辩证法不单是考察矛盾，而且还拒不承认矛盾是解释每一事物的图式。社会既不是个体主体的总和，也不是一种客观的事物，而是人类主体和物质客体的相互作用。自由的唯*意义在于否定，在于反思地否定各种具体的奴役。资本主义社会的*大弊端是商品交换价值法则的肆虐，把人和物降低到同一水平上和同质的无名地位上。随后，在本书中，阿多诺还举起“反体系”的旗帜，全力批判*哲学。他深刻意识到，真理的不变性是*哲学的幻想。本体论是对现状的辩解，是维护秩序的工具。此外，阿多诺认为，“否定的辩证法”是自由方便的立场，兼收并蓄的混合。“否定的辩证法”不仅与逻辑标准或事实标准无关，而且完全无视这些标准。这种无视实际上是“否定的辩证法”的本质。

内容简介 道家是战国时期重要学派之一，以春秋末年老子关于“道”的学说作为理论基础，以“道”说明宇宙万物的 本质、本源、构成和变化。认为天道无为，万物自然化生，否认上帝鬼神主宰一切，主张道法自然，顺其自然，提倡清静无为，守雌守柔，以柔克刚。政治理想是“小国寡民”、“无为而治”。老子以后，道家内部分化为庄子学派、杨朱学派、宋尹学派和黄老学派。本书首论道家之大要，次揭老子、庄子学术之旨趣，再明天师、全真诸道派之兴衰，*后论道术与精神。此次修订，依“治大国若烹小鲜”“大道至简”之微旨，以条畅道家学术宗旨为本，以删繁就简为要，以因应国人了解道家文化之现实需求。
