A radical and powerful reappraisal of the impact ofConstantine’s adoption of Christianity on the later Roman world,and on the subsequent development both of Christianity and ofWestern civilization. When the Emperor Contstantine converted to Christianity in 368AD, he changed the course of European history in ways that continueto have repercussions to the present day. Adopting those aspects ofthe religion that suited his purposes, he turned Rome on a coursefrom the relatively open, tolerant and pluralistic civilization ofthe Hellenistic world, towards a culture that was based on the ruleof fixed authority, whether that of the Bible, or the writings ofPtolemy in astronomy and of Galen and Hippocrates in medicine. Onlya thousand years later, with the advent of the Renaissance and theemergence of modern science, did Europe begin to free itself fromthe effects of Constantine's decision, yet the effects of hisestablishment of Christianity as a state religion remain with us,in many respects, today.

这本书《中国意识的危机》出版于上个世纪60年代、70年代，已经成为一个经典著作。它提出的一个关于“五四”还有新文化时期的诠释，跟李泽厚所说的启蒙与救亡的关系一样，被认为是一个很经典的对于五四新文化运动的一个诠释。

本书是作者17篇文章(包括一篇访谈)的汇集，这些文章并非一时之作，所以在形式上也不是一本有着系统构思的专著。但全书确实有着内在的关联：通过启蒙反思，消解人类中心主义的价值观，为全球化语境下的价值多元化和文化本土化提供理论的支持。通过对全球化与本土化关系的反复申辩，既充分尊重多元化与本土化，又申明对全球化共同价值追求的必要，于是文明对话便成为必然。文明对话为全球化与本土化的和谐互动保驾护航，也激励了本土文化与传统文明在面对各种全球性重大问题时作出积极的回应，儒家传统的人文精神即可为这种回应提供丰富的价值资源。

霍妮继阿德勒及荣格之后，与亚历山大、苏利文及弗洛姆等其他学者并称为 新弗洛伊德派 。他们搁置弗洛伊德的 性 和 原欲 的观念，重视社会文化因素对人格发展的重要性。 本书详细叙述了神经官能症者的发展倾向，它对人们的吸引力远远超出了人们对病态方面的临床或理论的研究兴趣。同时也包含了一个基本的道德问题――涉及人类的欲望、动力或探求完美的宗教教条。 霍妮亦排除弗洛伊德的原我、自我和超我的人格构造组织的想法，而提倡真我、实我和理想自我等组合的人性发展。依她的看法，对精神官能症患者的治疗而言，应瓦解对其人格发展有阻碍的理想化自我形象，并在实我里找出真我而抒发其个性成长的有能，这才是精神分析的精髓。 本书不只介绍关于精神官能症的知识，并探讨正常人的人性发展过程。因此，对对探究人性有兴
Constructing their essays around specific cultural artifactsthat were created in the period and locale under study, thecontributors describe the cultural interactions among differentJews–from rabbis and scholars to non-elite groups, includingwomen–as well as between Jews and the surrounding non-Jewish world.What they conclude is that although Jews have always had their ownautonomous traditions, Jewish identity cannot be considered thefixed product of either ancient ethnic or religious origins.Rather, it has shifted and assumed new forms in response to thecultural environment in which the Jews have lived. Mediterranean Origins , the first volume in Cultures ofthe Jews , describes the concept of the “People” or “Nation” ofIsrael that emerges in the Hebrew Bible and the culture of theIsraelites in relation to that of neighboring Canaanite groups. Italso discusses Jewish cultures in Babylonia, in Palestine duringthe Greco-Roman and Byzantine periods, and in Arabia during theformative ye
本书由作者的博士论文改写而成，研究了纬书政治神话的贡献、天人学说成为政治神话的过程、政治神话与中国文化各种形态之间的关系等学术问题。

The author of the runaway bestseller How the Irish SavedCivilization has done it again. In The Gifts of the Jews ThomasCahill takes us on another enchanting journey into history, onceagain recreating a time when the actions of a small band of peoplehad repercussions that are still felt today. The Gifts of the Jews reveals the critical change that madewestern civilization possible. Within the matrix of ancientreligions and philosophies, life was seen as part of an endlesscycle of birth and death; time was like a wheel, spinningceaselessly. Yet somehow, the ancient Jews began to see timedifferently. For them, time had a beginning and an end; it was anarrative, whose triumphant conclusion would come in the future.From this insight came a new conception of men and women asindividuals with unique destinies--a conception that would informthe Declaration of Independence--and our hopeful belief in progressand the sense that tomorrow can be better than today. As ThomasCahill narrates this momentous shift,
WITH MORE THAN 100 BLACK-AND-WHITE ILLUSTRATIONSTHROUGHOUT Who are “the Jews”? Scattered over much of the world throughoutmost of their three-thousand-year-old history, are they one peopleor many? How do they resemble and how do they differ from Jews inother places and times? What have their relationships been to thecultures of their neighbors? To address these and similar questions, twenty-three of thefinest scholars of our day—archaeologists, cultural historians,literary critics, art historians , folklorists, and historians ofrelation, all affiliated with major academic institutions in theUnited States, Israel, and France—have contributed their insight toCultures of the Jews. The premise of their endeavor is thatalthough Jews have always had their own autonomous traditions,Jewish identity cannot be considered immutable, the fixed productof either ancient ethnic or religious origins. Rather, it hasshifted and assumed new forms in response to the culturalenvironment in
The late author Arysio Santos was a highly regardedclimatologist, geologist, and nuclear physicist. He was also ascholar of history, folklore, languages, and the occult. In thisgroundbreaking study of Atlantis, he draws on all thesedisciplines, as well as ancient maps, Plato’s dialogues, andfolkloric narratives, to provide the most compelling case yet ofthe disappearance of an entire civilization. Professor Santos demonstrates that Plato’s dating of Atlantis’sdisappearance in 11,600 BP (before present) precisely correspondsto the catastrophic end of the Pleistocene Ice Age, as well as ahistoric flood event of cataclysmic proportions. The rising of thesea level by nearly 500 feet, he argues, submerged continent-sizedlands—including Atlantis, which he connects with the biblicalGarden of Eden. Provocative chapters cover such topics as thecontinent’s appearance in ancient maps, Indonesia as the true siteof Eden, American interpretations of Atlantis, the four rivers ofparadise, and more, giv
《以法为礼》是近代有影响力的南传佛教大师，泰国公认的阿罗汉成就者阿姜查·须跋多（1918-1992年）有关“法”以及相关内容的教导。阿姜查大师年轻时研究过基础佛法、戒律，以及经典，后随当地禅定大师修习。他依苦行僧的传统方式生活达数年，曾和本世纪伟大的禅师阿姜曼度过一段开悟性的时光。他的教导方式简明，含义却深远。他善于用日常周遭事物引出佛法实意，令弟子们开解，也因此吸引了不少西方人从他受教。书名《以法为礼》是阿姜查某一次开示的主题。在这篇教导和其他篇章中，阿姜查大师强调了随时保持“正念”和清明、训练心理对修行的重要性，他也教导人们禅修时保持“空心”和专注呼吸的方法。
Raja and Nilu are fated to fall in love. They both have been abandoned—he through his mother’s suicide inthe public pond, she through her mother’s constant escape intodrink. He has grown up on the streets, she in a crumbling mansion.And yet, they find each other, again and again. First when they arechildren. Then when they are young lovers. And finally after theyboth fear they have lost their marriage. But the events of thepast, even those we are ignorant of, inevitably haunt the present.And Raja and Nilu’s story is not only their own. Using Nepal’s political upheavals as a backdrop to demonstratehow we are irreparably connected to past and home, Buddha’s Orphansis an engrossing, unconventional love story, a seductive,transporting read, and further evidence that Samrat Upadhyay is oneof our finest writers, thoroughly deserving of his acclaim as “theBuddhist Chekhov” and comparisons to Amitav Ghosh, William Trevor,and Jhumpa Lahiri.
