The Beast in the Jungle
The Beast in the Jungle
Henry James
¥40.79
The Beast in the Jungle is one of James' finest short novels touching upon such universal themes as loneliness, fate, love and death. The story can be interpreted as a confession or parable about James' own life. He never married and possibly never experienced a consummated sexual relationship. Although he did enjoy a thorough experience of aesthetic creativity, it is possible that he still regretted what he called the essential loneliness of his life. The parable of the protagonist, John Marcher and his peculiar destiny speaks about the worth and meaning of human life.

The Godson
Leo Tolstoy
¥40.79
A son was born to a poor peasant. He rejoiced and went to a neighbour to ask him to stand as godfather to the boy. The neighbour refused. He did not want to be godfather to a poor man’s son.

Nightmare Abbey
Nightmare Abbey
Thomas Love Peacock
¥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
The Gift of The Magi
O. Henry
¥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
The Story of The Teasing Monkey
Helen Bannerman
¥40.79

Phaedrus
Phaedrus
Plato
¥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.
Gorgias
Gorgias
Plato
¥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.
Protagoras
Protagoras
Plato
¥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
On Generation and Corruption
Aristotle
¥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
The Critique of Practical Reason
Immanuel Kant
¥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
Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Morals
Immanuel Kant
¥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
The Great Learning
Confucius
¥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
The Civil Wars, Book 3
Julius Caesar
¥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
[英] 朱利安·巴吉尼
¥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。
日常的深处
日常的深处
王小伟
¥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。

野性心灵,野性大地
[美]戴维·欣顿
促销价:¥24.99|¥58.00
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。
资本主义与死亡驱力
资本主义与死亡驱力
[德]韩炳哲
¥40.60
如今我们所说的增长,实际上是一种漫无目的的癌式扩散。我们正在经历一场生产和增长的迷狂,如同死亡幻觉一般。它佯装生机勃勃,掩藏着迫近的致命性灾难。生产越来越趋同于毁灭。“人类的自我异化已经达到一种能将自身的毁灭当作审美快感来体验的程度。”瓦尔特·本雅明对法西斯主义的评价,同样适用于今天的资本主义。 资本主义受困于死亡。对死亡的无意识恐惧驱使着它。死亡的威胁挟制资本主义不断积累和增长。这种胁迫性不仅带来生态上的灾难,也产生精神灾难。破坏性的绩效压力将自我确证和自我毁灭合而为一。人不断优化自我,直至死亡。肆无忌惮的自我剥削致使精神崩溃。 尽管弗洛伊德与死亡有着矛盾的关系,但他完全意识到了生死和解的必然性。对死亡的下意识排斥必须让位于对死亡的自觉纳:“在现实中,在我们的观念里,给予死亡应有的地位,让我们迄今为止如此小心谨慎地压制在潜意识里的死亡不时显身,难道不是更好吗?这似乎不是一种步,反倒像是某种程度的退步,某种回归;但它也有优,即正确认识真相,让我们的生活变得好过。” -------------------- 韩炳哲作品(第2辑) 《山寨:中国式解构》(2023年1月出版) Shanzhai.
