他是有史以来自称“哲学家”而最名不副实的人？是纳粹主义的辩护者？还是大陆哲学当仁不让的领军人物？作为20世纪最为重要的哲学家之一，海德格尔令人难以捉摸，其思想复杂而浩瀚。本书作者主要围绕海德格尔的代表作《存在与时间》中所论及的在世存在、非本真性、负罪、天命、真理等主题，进行了深入浅出的阐释，让这位哲人走出固有的语言和风格，与别样的思路连接。

本书是我在2006年春季学期给研究生开设的“哲学史方法论”课的讲课录音。这门课每周一次，每次三个小时，常常拖堂到近四小时，一共讲了16次。在收入本书时，有两次没有收入进来，一次是关于黑格尔《哲学史讲演录•导言》的，由于当时录音未能录上，没有留下资料；另一次是谈中西怀疑论的比较的，由于考虑到不想使本书篇幅太大，而且该讲演在别的地方作过多次并已收入到了其他文集，为避免重复，删掉了。于是还有十四讲，都是根据我已往发表的有关方法论的文章而作的讲演。本次哲学史方法论课，由于是最近的一次，所以也是内容最丰富的一次。多年来思考的积累使我在课堂上滔滔不绝，巴不得一口气把所想到的都倾倒出来，总觉得时间不够，形成了一种典型的“满堂灌”式的教学。如果把所讲的不加删节全部收进来的话，估计全书要超过50万字。但是奇怪的是，这门课不但没有人感到厌烦，没有人打瞌睡，而且由于课堂开放，什么人都可以进来，找个位置坐下来听，所以听众有越来越多之势，甚至有一种热烈的气氛，高峰时达到一、两百人。其中有外系的，也有外校的，不但有研究生、教师，还有个体户、小商人、职员。有从西安专程赶来的书商，也有每个星期六坐火车来武汉，听完课又赶回长沙的湖南师大的研究生。每次课后，学生们都有一大群跟着我边走边谈，问问题，一直送到家门口，时常还在我家门口展开一场临时的讨论会，形成武汉大学校园中的“一景”。我知道这门课的缺陷就是没有更加深入的课堂讨论，本应该留出时间来让大家发表意见、互相切磋。但如果这样干，恐怕就不能讲这么多新内容了，所以我宁可把讨论放到课后回家的路上进行（大约有20分钟），学亚里士多德的“逍遥学派”。

《论道德的谱系・善恶之彼岸》是尼采畅论“善”与“恶”两种对立的价值观的力作， 它从自然人和社会人的角度人手，揭示道德观产益的自然条件。社会条件甚至病理条件，挖 掘了人在不同条件下创造不同的价值观的共同的原始动力，旨在重估一切旧的价值，确立未 来道德哲学的标准。

A Treatise of Human Nature (1739-40), David Hume's comprehensive attempt to base philosophy on a new, observationally grounded study of human nature, is one of the most important texts in Western philosophy. It is also the focal point of current attempts to understand 18th-century philosophy. The Treatise first explains how we form such concepts as cause and effect, external existence, and personal identity, and to form compelling but unconfirmable beliefs in the entities represented by these concepts. It then offers a novel account of the passions, explains freedom and necessity as they apply to human choices and actions, and concludes with detailed explanations of how we distinguish between virtue and vice and of the different kinds of virtue. Hume's Abstract of the Treatise, also included in the volume, outlines his 'chief argument' regarding our conception of, and belief in, cause and effect. The texts printed in this volume are those of the critical edition of Hume's philosophical works now being published by the Clarendon Press. The volume includes a substantial introduction explaining the aims of the Treatise as a whole and of each of its ten parts, extensive annotations, a glossary of terms, a comprehensive index, and suggestions for further reading.

A major work in the development of critical theory in the late twentieth century, Anti-Oedipus is an essential text for feminists, literary theorists, social scientists, philosophers, and others interested in the problems of contemporary Western culture. In his preface, Michel Foucault calls Anti-Oedipus an introduction to non-fascist life, referring not just to political fascism but to the fascism within us--- the desire to be led. To address that problem, Deleuze and Guattari propose a political analysis of desire as it is expressed or repressed in Western culture. They find the seeds of society's sickness in contemporary psychoanalysis, especially in the powerful figure of Oedipus.

When one defines order as a sorting of priorities, it becomes beautifully clear as to what Foucault is doing here. With virtuoso showmanship, he weaves an intensely complex history of thought. He dips into literature, art, economics and even biology in The Order of Things, possibly one of the most significant, yet most overlooked, works of the twentieth century. Eclipsed by his later work on power and discourse, nonetheless it was The Order of Things that established Foucault's reputation as an intellectual giant. Pirouetting around the outer edge of language, Foucault unsettles the surface of literary writing. In describing the limitations of our usual taxonomies, he opens the door onto a whole new system of thought, one ripe with what he calls exotic charm. Intellectual pyrotechnics from the master of critical thinking, this book is crucial reading for those who wish to gain insight into that odd beast called Postmodernism, and a must for any fan of Foucault.

Since its first publication in 1945, Russell's A History of Western Philosophy has been universally acclaimed as the outstanding one-volume work on the subject — unparalleled in its comprehensiveness, its clarity, its erudition, its grace and wit. In seventy-six chapters he traces philosophy from the rise of Greek civilization to the emergence of logical analysis in the twentieth century. Among the philosophers considered are: Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, the Atomists, Protagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Cynics, the Sceptics, the Epicureans, the Stoics, Plotinus, Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine, Benedict, Gregory the Great, John the Scot, Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Occam, Machiavelli, Erasmus, More, Bacon, Hobbes, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, the Utilitarians, Marx, Bergson, James, Dewey, and lastly the philosophers with whom Lord Russell himself is most closely associated — Cantor, Frege, and Whitehead, co-author with Russell of the monumental Principia Mathematica.

人类能够相信所有的事情，但是也能堕入深深的怀疑和迷惑。问题部分在于我们的许多信仰缺乏理性的基础。更深也是更麻烦的问题还在于，对理性的追求本身又是这种怀疑和迷惑的来源。 在《行走于理性的钢丝上》中，罗伯特•福格林引导读者穿越悖论、幻觉及其激进怀疑论这些迷宫，而它们正是哲学探究的中心问题所在。福格林认为，我们的理性技能坚持要对宇宙作出纯粹理性的说明，然而同时，这些技能的内在缺陷又使得我们决不能完全满足这一要求。结果我们发现自己是处在一种不牢靠的地位，于是，要么用康德所谓的“形而上学幻觉”来安慰自己，要么接受激进怀疑论的立场。 通过反思古希腊的怀疑论者以及如休谟、康德、维特根斯坦、尼采及萨特这样的思想家，本书使得读者进入——并且穿越——哲学中某些最棘手同时也是最富挑战性的领域 作者语摘： 不受束缚的理性，会迫使我们进入两个相反的方向。其一是形而上学的方向，其传统形式就是试图用一种纯理性的因素，来说明实在那稳定内在的结构。认为必定存在这一结构，那正是理性自身的要求。其二是相反的方向，因为当理性趋于极限时，就会带来自我摧毁，从而引出激烈的怀疑主义或相对主义。 但本书不是为这种选择提供指导，而是力图理解它们如何产生，我们又如何可能从中解脱出来。我的中心论点是，当假设理性可不受限制地运用时，就会出现这种根本性的选择局面。更深入的论点是，摆脱这些选择或许是困难的，在某些情形中或许还决不可能完全做到。这些选择带来了维特根斯坦所说的“深深的焦虑”。 ——罗伯特•福格林

Widely recognized as the finest definition of existentialist Philosophy, this book introduced existentialism to America in 1958. Barrett discusses the views of 19th and 20th century existentialists Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Sartre and interprets the impact of their thinking on literature, art, and philosophy.

Martin Buber's I and Thou has long been acclaimed as a classic. Many prominent writers have acknowledged its influence on their work; students of intellectual history consider it a landmark; and the generation born since World War II considers Buber as one of its prophets. The need for a new English translation has been felt for many years. The old version was marred by many inaccuracies and misunderstandings, and its recurrent use of the archaic "thou" was seriously misleading. Now Professor Walter Kaufmann, a distinguished writer and philosopher in his own right who was close to Buber, has retranslated the work at the request of Buber's family. He has added a wealth of informative footnotes to clarify obscurities and bring the reader closer to the original, and he has written a long "Prologue" that opens up new perspectives on the book and on Buber's thought. This volume should provide a new basis for all future discussions of Buber.

《西方死亡哲学》从理论层面上阐释了西方人心中的死亡之谜和西方死亡哲学的基本意涵，而后具体地考察了西方死亡哲学的历史发展进程。和一般哲学一样，死亡哲学具有人生观或价值观的意义，是人生哲学或生命哲学的深化和延展。西方死亡哲学作为一个发展中的系统，是一个包含着“死亡的诧异”、“ 死亡的渴望”、“死亡的漠视”和“死亡的直面”这样几个具有质的差异性的阶段的发展过程。

本书为“思想大师谈人生系列”之一，听现代西方的思想大师——尼采讲人生哲理，他把人生的本质看作是“意志”，一种“权力意志”。一切生命的目的都是为了追求权力，甚至自然过程也充满了权力意志。这种权力意志总是要以多种方式表现自己，或者表现为强者的英雄，或者表现为弱者的怨恨。前者是主人，后者是奴隶。怨恨说明了弱者的软弱无能。强者永远依靠牺牲弱者而生存，他必然要征服、压迫弱者；弱者则妒忌强者，怨恨强者。强弱“权力意志”之争构成了整个生物历史乃至宇宙历史的全过程。

《实用人类学》即为冬季学期讲授人类学的讲义。所谓“实用”人类学，指的是对人类记忆之类的能力以及相关基础因素做深入研究所得来的并需要加以运用的人的知识。由此前提，故《实用人类学》包括两个部分，第一部分为人类学教学法，论述了人的认识、情感与欲望能力；第二部分为人类学的特性，对人类在个体、性别、民族、种族、种类方面的特性作了简要探讨。

本书是一本简明通俗的哲学著作、但它既不是各种哲学问题的概览，也不是哲学问题的简史，而是概括了塞尔40余年来研究成果的重要哲学著作。本书对心灵、语言和社会实在的结构性特征以及它们相互之间的逻辑依存关系进和了分析，并在此基础上阐明它们是怎样结合在一起的。当代美英分析哲学和语言哲学、往往拘泥于命题、语词的研究，而忽略了哲学的基本问题。塞尔将语言哲学的观点用于研究心身问题，使语言哲学也开始回归到传统哲学的基本问题。而且，塞尔在本书中吸取了现代科学，特别是神经生理学、神经生物学、认知科学，人工智能以及经济学、社会学等方面的研究成果，充实了理论论述的内容，在很大程度上突破了分析哲学的传统框架。

Magic takes many forms. Supernatural magic is what our ancestors used in order to explain the world before they developed the scientific method. The ancient Egyptians explained the night by suggesting the goddess Nut swallowed the sun. The Vikings believed a rainbow was the gods' bridge to earth. The Japanese used to explain earthquakes by conjuring a gigantic catfish that carried the world on its back—earthquakes occurred each time it flipped its tail. These are magical, extraordinary tales. But there is another kind of magic, and it lies in the exhilaration of discovering the real answers to these questions. It is the magic of reality—science. Packed with clever thought experiments, dazzling illustrations and jaw-dropping facts, The Magic of Reality explains a stunningly wide range of natural phenomena. What is stuff made of? How old is the universe? Why do the continents look like disconnected pieces of a puzzle? What causes tsunamis? Why are there so many kinds of plants and animals? Who was the first man, or woman? This is a page-turning, graphic detective story that not only mines all the sciences for its clues but primes the reader to think like a scientist as well. Richard Dawkins, the world's most famous evolutionary biologist and one of science education's most passionate advocates, has spent his career elucidating the wonders of science for adult readers. But now, in a dramatic departure, he has teamed up with acclaimed artist Dave McKean and used his unrivaled explanatory powers to share the magic of science with readers of all ages. This is a treasure trove for anyone who has ever wondered how the world works. Dawkins and McKean have created an illustrated guide to the secrets of our world—and the universe beyond—that will entertain and inform for years to come.

"Keep Calm and Carry On" was a WWII government poster discovered in a dusty box nine years ago. Though it never saw the light of day in 1939 (it was only supposed to go up if Britain was invaded), it has suddenly struck a chord in our current difficult times, now we are in need of a stiff upper lip and optimistic energy once again. Gordon Brown has one up in 10 Downing Street and James May wears a Keep Calm T-shirt on the telly - it is suddenly everywhere. The book is packed full similarly motivational and cheering quotes, proverbs, mantras and wry truths to help us through the recession, from such wits as Churchill, Disraeli and George Bernard Shaw. Funny, wise and stirring - it is a perfect source of strength to get us all through the coming months. 'A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain' - Mark Twain. 'It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job; it's a depression when you lose your own' - Harry S. Truman. 'An economist is an expert who will know tomorrow why the things he predicted yesterday didn't happen today' - Laurence J. Peter. 'Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine' - Lord Byron. 'Better bread with water than cake with trouble' - Russian Proverb.

One of the best descriptions of the nature and implications of Darwinian evolution ever written, it is firmly based in biological information and appropriately extrapolated to possible applications to engineering and cultural evolution. Dennett's analyses of the objections to evolutionary theory are unsurpassed. Extremely lucid, wonderfully written, and scientifically and philosophically impeccable. Highest Recommendation!
