Generally seen as a pioneering work of zoology, Aristotle frames his text by explaining that he is investigating the existing facts about animals. History of Animals is one of the major texts on biology.

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.

Sri Krsna számtalan univerzum vitathatatlan Ura, akit korlátlan er?, gazdagság, hírnév, tudás és lemondás jellemez, ám ezek az ?r?kké diadalmas energiák csupán részben  tárják fel ?t. Végtelen dics?ségét csak az ismerheti meg, aki elb?v?l? szépségénél keres menedéket, ?sszes t?bbi fenséges tulajdonsága forrásánál, melynek páratlan transzcendentális teste ad otthont. Szépségének legf?bb jellemz?je az a mindenek f?l?tt álló édes íz, ami t?mény kivonata mindennek, ami édes. Minden édes dolgot túlszárnyal, és nem más, mint az édes íz megízlelésének képessége. Sri Krsna édes természete finom arany sugárzásként ragyog át transzcendentális testén. Govinda páratlanul gy?ny?r? testének legszebb és legédesebb része ragyogó arca. ?des hold-arcán rejtélyes mosolya a legédesebb, az az arcáról ragyogó ezüst holdsugár, ami nektárral árasztja el a világot. Mosolyának sugárzása nélkül keser? lenne a cukor, savanyú a méz, és a nektárnak sem lenne íze. Amikor mosolyának holdsugara elvegyül teste ragyogásával, a kett? együtt a kámfor aromájára emlékeztet. Ez a kámfor aztán ajkán keresztül a fuvolába kerül, ahonnan megfoghatatlan hangvibrációként t?r el?, és er?nek erejével rabul ejti azoknak az elméjét, akik hallják. Ahogy a szavak gondolatok mondanivalóját hordozzák, ahogy a gondolatok a szemben tükr?z?dnek, ahogy egy mosoly a szív érzelmeir?l árulkodik, úgy a fuvola hangja Sri Krsna szépségét viszi a fül?n keresztül a szív templomának oltárára.

Euthyphro (Ancient Greek: Euthuphron) is one of Plato's early dialogues, dated to after 399 BC. Taking place during the weeks leading up to Socrates' trial, the dialogue features Socrates and Euthyphro, a religious expert also mentioned at Cratylus 396a and 396d, attempting to define piety or holiness. Background The dialogue is set near the king-archon's court, where the two men encounter each other. They are both there for preliminary hearings before possible trials (2a).Euthyphro has come to lay manslaughter charges against his father, as his father had allowed one of his workers to die exposed to the elements without proper care and attention (3e–4d). This worker had killed a slave belonging to the family estate on the island of Naxos; while Euthyphro's father waited to hear from the expounders of religious law (exegetes cf. Laws 759d) about how to proceed, the worker died bound and gagged in a ditch. Socrates expresses his astonishment at the confidence of a man able to take his own father to court on such a serious charge, even when Athenian Law allows only relatives of the deceased to sue for murder. Euthyphro misses the astonishment, and merely confirms his overconfidence in his own judgment of religious/ethical matters. In an example of "Socratic irony," Socrates states that Euthyphro obviously has a clear understanding of what is pious and impious. Since Socrates himself is facing a charge of impiety, he expresses the hope to learn from Euthyphro, all the better to defend himself in his own trial. Euthyphro claims that what lies behind the charge brought against Socrates by Meletus and the other accusers is Socrates' claim that he is subjected to a daimon or divine sign which warns him of various courses of action (3b). Even more suspicious from the viewpoint of many Athenians, Socrates expresses skeptical views on the main stories about the Greek gods, which the two men briefly discuss before plunging into the main argument. Socrates expresses reservations about such accounts which show up the gods' cruelty and inconsistency. He mentions the castration of the early sky god, Uranus, by his son Cronus, saying he finds such stories very difficult to accept (6a–6c). Euthyphro, after claiming to be able to tell even more amazing such stories, spends little time or effort defending the conventional view of the gods. Instead, he is led straight to the real task at hand, as Socrates forces him to confront his ignorance, ever pressing him for a definition of 'piety'. Yet, with every definition Euthyphro proposes, Socrates very quickly finds a fatal flaw (6d ff.). At the end of the dialogue, Euthyphro is forced to admit that each definition has been a failure, but rather than correct it, he makes the excuse that it is time for him to go, and Socrates ends the dialogue with a classic example of Socratic irony: since Euthyphro has been unable to come up with a definition that will stand on its own two feet, Euthyphro has failed to teach Socrates anything at all about piety, and so he has received no aid for his own defense at his own trial (15c ff.).

《太平经》十部一百七十卷，据《后汉书》等史料记载为东汉末期道士干吉等人所传，是我国道教早期的主要经典之一。此经假托神人（又称天师）与六方真人问答，演说原始道教教义和方术，卷帙浩繁，内容庞杂。大抵以奉天法道，顺应阴阳五行为宗旨，广述治世之道、伦理准则，以及长寿成仙、治病养生、通神占验之术。其说虽受汉代谶纬神学影响，宣扬灾异祥瑞，善恶报应观念，“多巫觋杂语”。但亦自成体系，以顺天地之法，治政修身，达于天下太平为主旨。有代表下层民众反对统治者恃强凌弱，主张自食其力，周穷救急的思想。故为张角等早期民间道教领袖所利用，组织发动农民起义。后世道教各派教义，亦受此书影响。堪称了解中国道教的名典。本次译注作者杨寄林教授积数十年研究《太平经》之功力精心注译全本，注释详尽征引丰富，译文清晰流畅而不乏生动有趣之处，题解中对各篇思想内容和篇目流传情况做了详细说明，是帮助广大读者阅读理解这部名著的*读本之一。

叔本华（Arthur Schopenhauer，1788—1860），德国哲学家，哲学史上个公开反对理性主义哲学的人，开创了非理性主义哲学的先河，创立了唯意志论哲学，他认为生命意志是主宰世界运作的力量。他毕生致力思考人类幸福的问题，深刻影响了尼采和萨特等20世纪哲学家，也为现代心理疗法提供了哲学依据。代表著作有《作为意志和表象的世界》《建议与箴言》等。

《道德情操论》是亚当·斯密的伦理学著作，首次出版于1759年，斯密去世前共出版过六次。主要阐明了道德情感的本质、道德评价的性质以及他的以“公民的幸福生活”为目标的伦理思想。亚当·斯密把人本性中的同情的情感作为阐释道德的基础，他用同情的原理来解释人类正义感和其它一切道德情感的根源，来说明道德评价的性质，并以此为基础表明各种基本美德的特征。

本卷收录冯友兰所著A Short History of Chinese Philosophy及涂又光先生所译中文版《中国哲学简史》。 　　1946至1947年，冯先生在美国宾夕法尼亚大学任客座教授讲中国哲学史期间，以英文写作了一部较1930年代出版的两卷本《中国哲学史》更为凝练的中国哲学史。后经德克卜德（Derk Bodde）校订，1948年11月由纽约麦克米伦公司出版，即这部A Short History of Chinese Philosophy。1984年，本书由涂又光先生首次译成中文。按，此书*初的中文译名是“中国哲学小史”，但为区别于1934年商务印书馆出版之《中国哲学小史》，涂译本改作“简史”，并沿用至今。 本次出版，英文原本及中文译本两部分，我们分别以1948年麦克米伦公司版与河南人民出版社出版的《三松堂全集》（2001年第二版）版为底本，行校勘。其中，英文原本由卜德先生撰写编定的导言（Editor’s Introduction）和参考文献（Bibliography），以及书后索引（Index），为中译本所省略。考虑到本卷卷末附有包含英、中两部分的《人名索引》与《书篇名索引》，我们删去了英文原本的索引；至于导言和参考文献，则予以保留。

如果要问，读者（包括一般读者以及对尼采有特殊兴趣的读者）在阅读尼采发表的本著作时，能够得到什么益处，简短的答案将是：这是一本非常吸引人的书，它简明扼要地将19世纪思想的方方面面呈现在读者面前。此书不仅为尼采其他的作品做了铺垫，也为19世纪后发生的文化及思想运动奠定了基础。因此，在第1章和第2章，我们将论述对尼采影响*的几个事件，其他的影响会在本书主体章节（第3章）陆续提到。在第4章，我们会介绍《悲剧的诞生》一书发表后的反响，被读者受的情况，以及它的长远影响。

《存在主义——从陀斯妥也夫斯基到沙特》，原为美国世界出版公司1956年出版的一部英文著作，是美国存在主义研究专家考夫曼（Walter Kaufmann）对陀斯妥也夫斯基、齐克果、尼采、里尔克、卡夫卡、雅斯培、海德格、沙特八位存在主义哲学家原作的编选，对系统了解存在主义基本观和各家的重要思想具有重要的资料价值。本书由陈鼓应、孟祥森、刘崎三人合作翻译而成。 存在主义是二十世纪重要的哲学流派，强调个人、独立自主和主观经验，主要包括有神论的存在主义、无神论的存在主义和人道主义的存在主义三大类。存在主义以人为中心，尊重人的个性和自由，认为，人是在无意义的宇宙中生活，人的存在本身也没有意义，但人可以在存在的基础上自我造就，活得精彩。该学派著名和明确的倡议是萨特的格言——“存在先于本质”。意思是，除了人的生存之外，没有天经地义的道德或体外的灵魂，道德和灵魂都是人在生存中创造出来的；人没有义务遵守某个道德标准或宗教信仰，人有选择的自由。

　　当今，不论贫富老少，面对社会的压力、自然的灾难与人生的境遇，人们的心情都不太好，都显得有些憔悴，有些落寞和无助。面对来自外界的各种重负，很多人们会出现手忙脚乱的惊乱，甚至是莫名其妙的愤怒。人生苦短，去日苦多。只有有效地对治和消除各种负面情绪，人生才有可能快乐起来，内心才会感受安祥自在。即使别人对你生气，只要你能保持释然，那气也影响不了你。不生气是一种心态，更是一种必不可少的修养。

明中期以降，传统社会抽绎近代化转型，社会经济商业化萌动，社会失范现象频发，传统农业危机与传统社会危机耦合变异，一并加重明朝统治危机，“成化症候”形成。救时成为时代主题。丘濬作为明代广东籍（今属海南省）中央高官、儒臣，向以经世救时为己任，以“三不可及”为时人称道。“养民”是丘濬经世之根本方略，“为民理财”是其经世主要途径，同时，他还从政治、经济、教育、文化等方面论述了他的其他经世救时主张。总之，丘濬站在时代潮头，重视工商业，重视海外贸易，重视民生，为商品经济与社会商品化鼓与呼。丘濬得经世思想是时代产物，具有时代性与步性。

王国维自视其《殷周制度论》为经史二学上的大文字，但其藏经学于史学的路一再被遮蔽。本书由史而经，由王国维而上及历代诸儒，对西周王制要素的继统法、封建、?E礼，尤其是宗法等，行了翔实而具有系统的阐发，试图在规模、广度与深度上呈现西周王制的几本架构、制度基础、精神原则和理念根基。本书的特色在于：基于经史之学的路，立足于儒家思想的大视野，对西周王制做了别生面但又根植于经典的诠释，尤其是对继统法、宗法等行了集大成性的研究，对《殷周制度论》与三代王制的理解提供了新的可能路，也为中国思想的起源的研究提供了恢宏的视野。

Among the notable books of later times-we may say, without exaggeration, of all time--must be reckoned The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau. It deals with leading personages and transactions of a momentous epoch, when absolutism and feudalism were rallying for their last struggle against the modern spirit, chiefly represented by Voltaire, the Encyclopedists, and Rousseau himself--a struggle to which, after many fierce intestine quarrels and sanguinary wars throughout Europe and America, has succeeded the prevalence of those more tolerant and rational principles by which the statesmen of our own day are actuated. On these matters, however, it is not our province to enlarge; nor is it necessary to furnish any detailed account of our author's political, religious, and philosophic axioms and systems, his paradoxes and his errors in logic: these have been so long and so exhaustively disputed over by contending factions that little is left for even the most assiduous gleaner in the field. The inquirer will find, in Mr. John Money's excellent work, the opinions of Rousseau reviewed succinctly and impartially. The 'Contrat Social', the 'Lattres Ecrites de la Montagne', and other treatises that once aroused fierce controversy, may therefore be left in the repose to which they have long been consigned, so far as the mass of mankind is concerned, though they must always form part of the library of the politician and the historian. One prefers to turn to the man Rousseau as he paints himself in the remarkable work before us. That the task which he undertook in offering to show himself--as Persius puts it--'Intus et in cute', to posterity, exceeded his powers, is a trite criticism; like all human enterprises, his purpose was only imperfectly fulfilled; but this circumstance in no way lessens the attractive qualities of his book, not only for the student of history or psychology, but for the intelligent man of the world. Its startling frankness gives it a peculiar interest wanting in most other autobiographies. Many censors have elected to sit in judgment on the failings of this strangely constituted being, and some have pronounced upon him very severe sentences. Let it be said once for all that his faults and mistakes were generally due to causes over which he had but little control, such as a defective education, a too acute sensitiveness, which engendered suspicion of his fellows, irresolution, an overstrained sense of honour and independence, and an obstinate refusal to take advice from those who really wished to befriend him; nor should it be forgotten that he was afflicted during the greater part of his life with an incurable disease. Lord Byron had a soul near akin to Rousseau's, whose writings naturally made a deep impression on the poet's mind, and probably had an influence on his conduct and modes of thought: In some stanzas of 'Childe Harold' this sympathy is expressed with truth and power; especially is the weakness of the Swiss philosopher's character summed up in the following admirable lines: "Here the self-torturing sophist, wild Rousseau, The apostle of affliction, he who threw Enchantment over passion, and from woe Wrung overwhelming eloquence, first drew The breath which made him wretched; yet he knew How to make madness beautiful, and cast O'er erring deeds and thoughts a heavenly hue Of words, like sunbeams, dazzling as they passed The eyes, which o'er them shed tears feelingly and fast. "His life was one long war with self-sought foes, Or friends by him self-banished; for his mind Had grown Suspicion's sanctuary, and chose, For its own cruel sacrifice, the kind, 'Gainst whom he raged with fury strange and blind. But he was frenzied,-wherefore, who may know? Since cause might be which skill could never find; But he was frenzied by disease or woe To that worst pitch of all, which wears a reasoning show."
