Rene Descartes(1569-1650),the 'father' of modern philosophy,is without doubt one of the greatest thinkers in history:his genius lies at the core of our contemporary intellectual identity.Breaking with the conventions of his own time and suffering persecution by the Church as a consequence,Descartes in his writings-most of which are philosophical classics-attempted to answer the central questions surrounding the self,God,free-will and knowledge,using the science of thought as opposed to received wisdom based on the tenets of faith.This edition,the most comprehensive one-volume selection of Descartes' works available in English,includes his great essay,Discourse on Method.
In Symposium, a group of Athenian aristocrats attend a party and talk about love, until the drunken Alcibiades bursts in and decides to discuss Socrates instead. Symposium gives an unsurpassed picture of the sparkling society that was Athens at the height of her empire. The setting of the other dialogues is more sombre. Socrates is put on trial for impiety, and sentenced to death. Euthyphro discusses the nature of piety, Apology is Socrates' speech in his own defence, Crito explains his refusal to escape punishment, and Phaedo gives an account of Socrates' last day. These dialogues have never been offered in one volume before. Tom Griffith's Symposium has been described as 'possibly the finest translation of any Platonic dialogue'. All the other translations are new.
有人说：能不累吗？中小学生要应付学业，大学生愁于就业，工作的人谋求更高的工作岗位和更适合自己的职业，更别说复杂的人际关系带给我们的困扰。不能否认，我们身处一个竞争异常激烈的时代。就拿学生的学习来说，课业负担异常繁重，从小学一年级开始，孩子就要承受巨大的学*担。教育主管部门也好，家长也好，都已认识到这一弊端，大声呼吁并采取一定措施为孩子减负，但效果却不那么尽如人意。究其原因，是时代的快速发展给人以极强烈的紧迫感，让你无法停留。“学如逆水行舟，不进则退。”为了不居人后，人们拼命给自己增加压力。学习是这样，工作、婚姻、生活以及做人做事又何尝不是这样？但是，人的承受能力是有限的，过大的压力会带来身体和精神方面的巨大伤害。西方人有去看心理医生的习惯，而中国人不会把压力带给人的身心困扰看
Whether we love or hate Sigmund Freud, we all have to admit that he revolutionized the way we think about ourselves. Much of this revolution can be traced to The Interpretation of Dreams, the turn-of-the-century tour de force that outlined his theory of unconscious forces in the context of dream analysis. Introducing the id, the superego, and their problem child, the ego, Freud advanced scientific understanding of the mind immeasurably by exposing motivations normally invisible to our consciousness. While there's no question that his own biases and neuroses influenced his observations, the details are less important than the paradigm shift as a whole. After Freud, our interior lives became richer and vastly more mysterious. These mysteries clearly bothered him--he went to great (often absurd) lengths to explain dream imagery in terms of childhood sexual trauma, a component of his theory jettisoned mid-century, though now popular among recovered-memory therapists. His dispassionate analyses of his own dr

Teachers are simply the best. They're the special breed of people who strive to infuse us with an appreciation for the miraculous world in which we live and a sincere passion for learning. What better way to sing their praises than by declaring more than a thousand great things about them' That's what the successful author trio of Birnbach, Hodgman, and Marx does in this fourth book of their highly successful 1,003 Great Things series. This wonderfully humorous book features entries such as: o They are as happy about Friday as you are. o They tend to have highly legible handwriting. o Who else knows how important it is to be line leader' o They are excellent spellers. o Teachers know about Roman numerals. o They are more afraid of the principal than you are. o They lend you milk money when you forget yours. o They're not in it for the money.

《中国历代经典宝库：哲学的天籁·庄子》是由《庄子》原典中故事性的部分采选出来改写而成。庄子的哲学，是自由的哲学。是把生命放入无限的时间、空间去体验的哲学。许多哲学家是把一棵活生生的树砍死了，才作分析。庄子则就一棵活生生的树来体验他的生命。世俗的人说庄子是消极的、避世的、颓废的、虚无的。但事实上，究竟谁才是真正面对生命的真实呢？世俗又说庄子是个人主义、神秘主义、无政府主义。其实，庄子的睿智却高高地超出了这些主义。这些主义和庄子没有什么相干。正如一切的知识不能附丽在大道上面一样。人世的生活，在庄子看来，是“无生命的秩序”，庄子所要追求的却是“有生命的无秩序”。人，喜欢树的形状和颜色。庄子却喜欢树的生命。
