(已售罄)Comparative Metaethics: Neglected Perspectives on the Foundations of Morality (Routledge Studies in Ethics and Moral Theory)【哲學/倫理與道德哲學】

Comparative Metaethics : Neglected Perspectives on the Foundations of Morality

這本原始論文集從歐洲主流傳統之外探索元倫理學觀點。關於道德終極本質的重要討論，可以發現的範圍遠遠超出古希臘和現代歐洲。該卷展示比較形而上學的可能性有多豐富，這些比較為當代分析形而上學帶來了挑戰和新觀點。代表五大洲的思想家討論從古埃及、中國古代和墨西哥（Aztec）文化到最近的思想家，例如Augusto Salazar Bondy，Bimal Krishna Matilal，NishidaKitarō和Susan Sontag。討論的哲學主題包括宗教語言、道德發現、道德分歧與評價事實的本質、形而上的和諧與道德知識、自然主義、道德觀念和準現實主義。該卷使得對超倫理學或比較哲學者感興趣。

This collection of original essays explores metaethical views from outside the mainstream European tradition. The guiding motivation is that important discussions about the ultimate nature of morality can be found far beyond ancient Greece and modern Europe. The volume’s aim is to show how rich the possibilities are for comparative metaethics, and how much these comparisons offer challenges and new perspectives to contemporary analytic metaethics. Representing five continents, the thinkers discussed range from ancient Egyptian, ancient Chinese, and the Mexican (Aztec) cultures to more recent thinkers like Augusto Salazar Bondy, Bimal Krishna Matilal, Nishida Kitarō, and Susan Sontag. The philosophical topics discussed include religious language, moral discovery, moral disagreement, essences’ relation to evaluative facts, metaphysical harmony and moral knowledge, naturalism, moral perception, and quasi-realism. This volume will be of interest to anyone interested in metaethics or comparative philosophy.

Code and Clay, Data and Dirt : Five Thousand Years of Urban Media

多年來，專家們一直吹捧著大數據和智能網絡將帶給我們城市驚人的變化。在Code and Clay中，Data and Dirt Shannon Mattern提出了一個挑釁性的論點，即我們的城市空間已經“智能”並經過了數千年的傳播。

提供有關城市強大新思維的方式，遠遠超出了起源、發展、革命和少數菁英成就的標準歷史概念。 Mattern表示，在其建築、法律、街道佈局和公民知識中，以及透過電話、電報、廣播、印刷、書寫甚至人類語音之類的技術，城市長期以來一直在模擬、數字代碼之間進行廣泛的交換。

Mattern生動的散文將讀者帶入歷史和地理上的故事、場景和位置，為我們的城市空間綜合了新的敘事。將媒體考古學帶到城市的街道上，揭示書寫我們的城市、媒體和文化歷史的新方法。

The Political Economy of Resource Regulation : An International and Comparative History, 1850-2015

縱觀歷史，自然資源一直是財富和權力的來源，是戰爭與和平的催化劑。在這本創新的書中收集的案例研究探討了思想、利益集團、國際機構和政治制度的交匯點如何在現代世界不同時間和地點孕育出獨特的監管制度。它橫跨七大洲，並著重於發達和發展中經濟體，它提供了獨特的見解，以解釋為什麼一些資源豐富的國家蓬勃發展而另一些國家卻陷入貧困和腐敗。

Industrialist John Paul Getty famously quipped, “The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights.” Throughout history, natural resources have been sources of wealth and power and catalysts for war and peace. The case studies gathered in this innovative volume examine how the intersection of ideas, interest groups, international institutions, and political systems gave birth to distinctive regulatory regimes at various times and places in the modern world. Spanning seven continents and focusing on both advanced and developing economies, it offers unique insights into why some resource-rich countries have flourished while others have been mired in poverty and corruption.

【哲學】台大哲學 The Disorder of Things: Metaphysical Foundations of the Disunity of Science

The Disorder of Things : Metaphysical Foundations of the Disunity of Science

幾千年來，哲學家和科學家的偉大夢想是使我們對事物的順序有一個完整的了解。在科學統一的思想中，已經發現了本世紀這種夢想強有力的表達。約翰·杜普雷（John Dupre）通過這份宣言，通過展示其基本假設與科學本身主要結論不一致的方式，系統地攻擊了科學統一的理想。取而代之的是，作者給了我們形而上學與科學告訴我們有關的世界信息相一致。這本引人入勝的著作優雅而引人注目，對所有哲學家和科學者來說都是重要的閱讀讀物。

The great dream of philosophers and scientists for millennia has been to give us a complete account of the order of things. A powerful articulation of such a dream in this century has been found in the idea of a unity of science. With this manifesto, John Dupre systematically attacks the ideal of scientific unity by showing how its underlying assumptions are at odds with the central conclusions of science itself. In its stead, the author gives us a metaphysics much more in keeping with what science tells us about the world. Elegantly written and compellingly argued, this provocative book will be important reading for all philosophers and scholars of science.

Arthur Schopenhauer. PHILOSOPHARI: Zettelsammlung aus dem Nachlass【文學評論，哲學】中研院文哲所選書 (德文)

Arthur Schopenhauer. PHILOSOPHARI: Zettelsammlung aus dem Nachlass

亞瑟·叔本華（Arthur Schopenhauer）於1788年出生在但澤（Danzig），於1813年在耶拿大學獲得博士學位，並於1819年發表了他的主要著作《意志與想像的世界》。

”哲學書”包含節選以及報紙、雜誌和書籍中引人注目的文章副本，叔本華已將其部分納入他的作品中。儘管這些筆記集只是哲學家手稿的一部分，但在這裡作為《莊園哲學筆記》的第六卷出版，因為這些筆記表明叔本華的閱讀有多麼廣泛。在本卷中要確定哲學家感興趣的領域是如此令人印象深刻，以至於他代表了《遺產哲學筆記》一個有價值的結論的出版。

Der 1788 in Danzig geborene Arthur Schopenhauer doktorierte 1813 an der Universität Jena und veröffentlichte 1819 sein Hauptwerk "Die Welt als Wille und Vorstellung". Er lebte dann ab 1820 mit Unterbrechungen in Berlin, wo 1831 die Cholera ausbrach, was ihn bewog, diese Stadt zu verlassen. 1833 ließ er sich in Frankfurt am Main nieder, wo er bis zu seinem Tod 1860 als Privatgelehrter lebte und seine Werke verfasste.

Becoming Activists in Global China : Social Movements in the Chinese Diaspora【社會科學/社會學/綜合】

Becoming Activists in Global China : Social Movements in the Chinese Diaspora

成為全球中國的活動是對法輪功及其對中國國家抵抗的第一個純粹的社會學研究。關於中國抗議活動的文獻對1989年的民主運動進行了深入研究，儘管法輪功更加持久，而很大程度上忽略了法輪功的反對。這項比較研究解釋了為什麼法輪功抗議活動在海外流傳，而民主運動卻沒有。

《成為全球中國的積極分子》通過多種方法解釋了法輪功的宗教信仰根基和自願奉獻精神如何為其動員政治提供了基礎。同時，散居在外的民主活動家採取的做法有效地阻止了基層的參與。該研究還表明，消除法輪功的政策目標幫助塑造了當今以安全為重點的中國國家。對法輪功長達二十年的抗議活動解釋了被壓制的中國當代歷史，並增進我們對宗教和政治運動如何相交的認識。

Becoming Activists in Global China is the first purely sociological study of the religious movement Falun Gong and its resistance to the Chinese state. The literature on Chinese protest has intensively studied the 1989 democracy movement while largely ignoring opposition by Falun Gong, even though the latter has been more enduring. This comparative study explains why the Falun Gong protest took off in diaspora and the democracy movement did not. Using multiple methods, Becoming Activists in Global China explains how Falun Gong's roots in proselytizing and its ethic of volunteerism provided the launch pad for its political mobilization. Simultaneously, diaspora democracy activists adopted practices that effectively discouraged grassroots participation. The study also shows how the policy goal of eliminating Falun Gong helped shape today's security-focused Chinese state. Explaining Falun Gong's two decades of protest illuminates a suppressed piece of Chinese contemporary history and advances our knowledge of how religious and political movements intersect.

Fairy Tales, Myth, and Psychoanalytic Theory【文學批評/符號學與理論社會科學/女權主義與女權主義理論】

Fairy Tales, Myth, and Psychoanalytic Theory : Feminism and Retelling the Tale

在1970年代，Jean Baker Miller和Nancy Chodorow等女權主義的精神分析理論家正在挑戰那些以男性心理為人類發展和心理情緒健康准則的早期模型，Anne Sexton，Olga Broumass和Angela Carter等作家著手進行自己的修正項目，以傳統性別角色為基礎，為童話和古典神話注入新的活力。同樣，在1990年代，第二波女權主義臨床醫生繼續了Chodorow和Miller開始的工作，而奇幻作家包括Terry Windling，Tanith Lee，Terry Pratchett和Catherynne M. Valente都從1970年代的修正主義作家那裡汲取了靈感。正如沙諾斯所言，這二十年對於藝術家和精神分析理論家來說都是特別富有成果的時代，他們關注與婦女的自我意識發展有關的問題。撇開這兩種女權主義精神分析理論的局限性，它們的影響是不可否認的。

沙諾斯的書提出了一種新的模型，用於理解女權主義的精神分析理論和女權主義的重述，它強調了理論與藝術的相互依存，並挑戰了文學修訂涉及與作家的藝術先行者進行男性主義鬥爭的觀念。

At the same time that 1970s feminist psychoanalytic theorists like Jean Baker Miller and Nancy Chodorow were challenging earlier models that assumed the masculine psyche as the norm for human development and mental/emotional health, writers such as Anne Sexton, Olga Broumass, and Angela Carter were embarked on their own revisionist project to breathe new life into fairy tales and classical myths based on traditional gender roles. Similarly, in the 1990s, second-wave feminist clinicians continued the work begun by Chodorow and Miller, while writers of fantasy that include Terry Windling, Tanith Lee, Terry Pratchett, and Catherynne M. Valente took their inspiration from revisionist authors of the 1970s. As Schanoes shows, these two decades were both particularly fruitful eras for artists and psychoanalytic theorists concerned with issues related to the development of women's sense of self. Putting aside the limitations of both strains of feminist psychoanalytic theory, their influence is undeniable. Schanoes's book posits a new model for understanding both feminist psychoanalytic theory and feminist retellings, one that emphasizes the interdependence of theory and art and challenges the notion that literary revision involves a masculinist struggle with the writer's artistic forbearers.

Revolutionary Time : On Time and Difference in Kristeva and Irigaray

這本書是第一本研究Julia Kristeva和Luce Irigaray工作中時間與性別差異間關係的書。由於婦女與物種的繁殖、體現和生存有關，它們被限制在自然界周期性時間中。另一方面，人們被視為線性時間的承載者，並且具有變化和進步的能力。FannySöderbäck認為，這兩個時間模型都無法改變，因為它們重複或壓抑了過去。在這裡建立的時間模型-革命性時間-旨在回歸和振興過去，從而使充滿活力的現在和充滿變化的未來成為可能。索德貝克與Kristeva和Irigaray就時間和時差問題進行了前所未有的對話，並一路吸引了西蒙娜·德·波伏娃，雅克·德里達，西格蒙德·弗洛伊德，朱迪思·巴特勒，漢娜·阿倫特和柏拉圖等思想家。

This book is the first to examine the relationship between time and sexual difference in the work of Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray. Because of their association with reproduction, embodiment, and the survival of the species, women have been confined to the cyclical time of nature--a temporal model that is said to merely repeat itself. Men, on the other hand, have been seen as bearers of linear time and as capable of change and progress. Fanny Söderbäck argues that both these temporal models make change impossible because they either repeat or repress the past. The model of time developed here--revolutionary time--aims at returning to and revitalizing the past so as to make possible a dynamic-embodied present and a future pregnant with change. Söderbäck stages an unprecedented conversation between Kristeva and Irigaray on issues of both time and difference, and engages thinkers such as Simone de Beauvoir, Jacques Derrida, Sigmund Freud, Judith Butler, Hannah Arendt, and Plato along the way.

Friedrich Engels and Modern Social and Political Theory.png

Friedrich Engels and Modern Social and Political Theory

Paul Blackledge批判性地探索了恩格斯對整個現代社會和政治理論特別是對馬克思主義的貢獻。透過仔細研究恩格斯在1840年代鍛造馬克思主義中的作用，以及他對下一個半世紀這種世界觀的進一步深化和擴展所作的貢獻，布萊克利奇對他的思想進行了密切的爭論和平衡。這本書挑戰了馬克思主義學者長期以來將恩格斯詆毀馬克思最大錯誤的嘗試，並得出結論認為恩格斯是一位深刻的思想家，其思想一直延續至今。

In this comprehensive overview of Friedrich Engels's writings, Paul Blackledge critically explores Engels's contributions to modern social and political theory generally and Marxism specifically. Through a careful examination both of Engels's role in the forging of Marxism in the 1840s, and his contributions to the further deepening and expansion of this worldview over the next half century, Blackledge offers a closely argued and balanced assessment of his thought. This book challenges the long-standing attempt among academic Marxologists to denigrate Engels as Marx's greatest mistake, and concludes that Engels was a profound thinker whose ideas continue to resonate to this day.
