万书辉先生的专著《文化文本的互文性书写:齐泽克对拉康理论的解释》是他在最近几年里潜心研究齐泽克的力作。这是目前中国大陆部全面系统研究齐泽克学术思想的专著。可以肯定的是,这部专著的价值不仅在于其开创性,还在于它在大量占有英文文献资料和汉语文献资料的基础上,寻找到了一个独特而有效的研究齐泽克的切入点:文化文本的互文性书写。他试图从一个中国学术界、乃至西方学术界尚未有太多关注的角度,去对极为复杂而又充满魅力的齐泽克的学术思想进行汉语语境中的解读。

When it was first published in 1781, The Confessions scandalisedEurope with its emotional honesty and frank treatment of theauthor's sexual and intellectual development. Since then, it hashad a more profound impact on European thought. Rousseau leftposterity a model of the reflective life - the solitary,uncompromising individual, the enemy of servitude and habit and theselfish egoist who dedicates his life to a particular ideal.

A cornerstone of Sartre’s philosophy, The Imaginary was first published in 1940. Sartre had become acquainted with thephilosophy of Edmund Husserl in Berlin and was fascinated by hisidea of the 'intentionality of consciousness' as a key to thepuzzle of existence. Against this background, TheImaginary crystallized Sartre's worldview and artistic vision.The book is an extended examination of the concepts of nothingnessand freedom, both of which are derived from the ability ofconsciousness to imagine objects both as they are and as they arenot – ideas that would drive Sartre's existentialism and entiretheory of human freedom.
In The Undiscovered Self Jung explains the essence of his teaching for a readership unfamiliar with his ideas. He highlights the importance of individual responsibility and freedom in the context of today's mass society, and argues that individuals must organize themselves as effectively as the organized mass if they are to resist joining it. To help them achieve this he sets out his influential programme for achieving self-understanding and self-realization. The Undiscovered Self is a book that will awaken many individuals to the new life of the self that Jung visualized.
Conceived originally as a serious presentation of thedevelopment of philosophy for Catholic seminary students, FrederickCopleston's nine-volume A History Of Philosophy has journeyed farbeyond the modest purpose of its author to universal acclaim as thebest history of philosophy in English. Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit of immense erudition who once tangledwith A.J. Ayer in a fabled debate about the existence of God andthe possibility of metaphysics, knew that seminary students werefed a woefully inadequate diet of theses and proofs, and that theirfamiliarity with most of history's great thinkers was reduced tosimplistic caricatures. Copleston set out to redress thewrong by writing a complete history of Western Philosophy, onecrackling with incident and intellectual excitement - and one thatgives full place to each thinker, presenting his thought in abeautifully rounded manner and showing his links to those who wentbefore and to those who came after him.
"Draper's love for music is contagious.She provides a useul set of listening exercises,or music breaks,at the end of each chapter,as well sa an extensive'listenin g bibliography'for enhancing every aspect of life,from work to sex." Emotions are more manageable when music gives them an objective reality oustside us.A seventeenth-centwy spanish king had to hear a celebrated tenor,Farinelli,sing every day before he conisdered himself to meet his court .Are we so different,when a few minutes of Bach ,Mozart,or Beethoven can bring us back into balance and reestablish our sense of the essential goodness of life?We may not understand what comes over us ,why our body relaxes or why our heart melts at the sound of a certain melody or chord change.But when music puts us in harmony with our deepest nature we feel more authentic,more fluid and responsive. Music has a transformative power that has only recently been understood by science but has always been understood by the human heart. This field guide shows

Edmund Burke’s Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful is one of the most important works of aesthetics ever written. Whilst many writers have taken up their pen to write of ‘the beautiful’, Burke’s subject here was that quality he uniquely distinguished as ‘the sublime’ – an all-consuming force beyond beauty that compelled terror as much as rapture in all who beheld it. It was an analysis that would go on to inspire some of the leading thinkers of the Enlightenment, including Immanuel Kant and Denis Diderot. The Routledge Classics edition presents the authoritative text of the first critical edition of Burke’s essay ever published, including a substantial critical and historical commentary.
Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the perfect introduction to the theories and concepts of one of the most original and influential religious thinkers of the twentieth century.
