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.

Upanishads are mankind's oldest works of philosophy, predating the earliest Greek philosophy. They are the concluding part of the Vedas, the ancient Indian sacred literature, and mark the culmination of a tradition of speculative thought first expressed in the Rig-Veda more than 4000 years ago. Remarkable for their meditative depth, spirit of doubt and intellectual honesty, the Upanishads are concerned with the knowledge of the Brahman, the Ultimate Reality, and Man's relationship with it. The name Upanishad is derived from the face-to-face mode of imparting knowledge - in the utmost sanctity and secrecy, to prevent its trivialisation or perversion. Composed in Sanskrit between 900 and 600 BC, the Upanishads presented here are by far the oldest and most important of those that exist. Twelve were first translated more than a hundred years ago, and have been extensively revised and edited. The thirteenth is an entirely new translation by Suren Navlakha.
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

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,

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.

Rather, it hasshifted and assumed new forms in response to the culturalenvironment in
