《山水天地间》聚焦于北宋著名画家郭熙的代表作《早春图》，通过大量的图像细读，结合经典画史画论中的描述与品评，对宋代山水画中所蕴含的文化特质，分“物象与心观”“近质与远势”“天高与地远”“人迹与神居”“笔墨与品格”五个方面做了深入剖析，逐渐展开以苏轼、黄庭坚为代表的宋代士大夫胸中的大观世界。在古今中西对比的视野下，探寻中国艺术的文化内核与精神高度。 在现代世界里，不能只有政治、社会和经济构成的总体史，而必须还要有一种存在于人的内心之中的自然王国，以作平衡和矫正。对于中国文明，恰恰就这一点来说，我们有着丰厚的文化传统，特别是中古以降的山水系统的发育，构造了独特的文明基因。 古人所谓“胸中丘壑”“胸中气味”“胸中磊落”，讲的都是人的境界。把自己挥洒在整个世界里，浸没在整个世界里，山林中的那份自然，是士人全心的构造，是超越性的，是精神性的。中国人没有了这种内生性的心意心境，我们的文明便早就覆灭了 重新构建完整的山水，重新构建中国人的宇宙观，重新构建中国人整全的超越世界，才是中国艺术的真正出路。艺术的未来，不是跟在资本屁股后面，搞一个小想法，抓住一个小意念，换一种新材料，而是要真正逼近西方和中国的整个传统，对历史和现实有整全的理解。 在这个意义上，中国的山水，永远是我们文明复兴的必由之路。

John Dewey was the foremost philosophical figure and public intellectual in early to mid-twentieth century America. He is still the most academically cited Anglophone philosopher of the past century, and is among the most cited Americans of any century. In this comprehensive volume spanning thirty-five chapters, leading scholars help researchers access particular aspects of Dewey's thought, navigate the enormous and rapidly developing literature, and participate in current scholarship in light of prospects in key topical areas. Beginning with a framing essay by Philip Kitcher calling for a transformation of philosophical research inspired by Dewey, contributors interpret, appraise, and critique Dewey's philosophy under the following headings: Metaphysics; Epistemology, Science, Language, and Mind; Ethics, Law, and the Starting Point; Social and Political Philosophy, Race, and Feminist Philosophy; Philosophy of Education; Aesthetics; Instrumental Logic, Philosophy of Technology, and the Unfinished Project of Modernity; Dewey in Cross-Cultural Dialogue; The American Philosophical Tradition, the Social Sciences, and Religion; and Public Philosophy and Practical Ethics.

「報」、「保」、「包」在中國文化中意義重大。報含報償、報答、報仇等意義；保指能夠保有、保持之意；包指全部保任、負全責，三者都是中國社會關係中重要的基礎。本書闡述了這三個字意由古及今的演變，以及各自引申出的相關複合詞。

"Its publication should be a major event for cognitive linguistics and should pose a major challenge for cognitive science. In addition, it should have repercussions in a variety of disciplines, ranging from anthropology and psychology to epistemology and the philosophy of science. . . . Lakoff asks: What do categories of language and thought reveal about the human mind? Offering both general theory and minute details, Lakoff shows that categories reveal a great deal."--David E. Leary, "American Scientist"

The discipline of sociology was born-and has been recurrently reconstituted-in response to the fragmentation of ideas about the social world. For two centuries, sociologists have sought refuge in "synthesis:" programs designed to integrate multiple perspectives within a unifying framework. Yet even as this cause has inspired many of the discipline's major thinkers, past and present, its objective has proven elusive, leaving nearly as many syntheses as synthesizers. This volume considers an alternative response that has recently developed within sociology to the crisis of intellectual fragmentation: "the dialogical turn." Rather than decry the multiplicity of social theories, research methods, and results, this response welcomes a plurality of orientations and approaches as the essential basis for establishing and maintaining productive dialogue. Examining this exciting development, The Dialogical Turn builds on the ideas of Donald N. Levine, whose extensive writings on the forms and functions of intellectual dialogue provide the point of departure for twelve original essays. Written by an internationally renowned group of scholars, these innovative chapters explore the dialogical possibilities for sociology both constructively and critically. The contributors assess the role of sociology in the conversation across contemporary academic disciplines, exploring the fundamental structural and conceptual reconstructions now taking place in sociology and neighboring fields.

The concept of the case is a basic feature of social science research and yet many questions about how a case should be defined, selected, and judged are far from settled. The contributors to this volume probe the nature of the case and the ways in which different understandings of the concept affect the conduct and the results of research. The contributions demonstrate that the work of any given researcher is often characterised by some hybrid of these basic approaches, and it is important to understand that most research involves multiple definitions and uses of cases, as both specific empirical phenomena and as general theoretical categories.

Conventional understanding of what it means to "explain" something in the social sciences provokes unnecessary confusion and conflict, and indeed is often based more on analysts' imaginations than actors' realities. The Explanation of Social Action lays out a sustained critique of this understanding, pointing out that the root of the problem is an attempt to counterpose two radically different types of answers to the question of why someone did a certain thing--first person responses and third person ones. John Levi Martin illustrates how this tendency is epitomized in attempts to explain human action in "causal" terms. He shows how this causality has little to do with the real world, but instead involves the creation of imaginary worlds, stemming from an intellectual history whereby social scientists began to distrust the self-understanding of actors and accepted fundamentally anti-democratic epistemologies, due to an epistemic hiatus in social knowledge and the adoption of practices in the intensely hierarchic setting of forced incarceral institutions for the insane. Martin moves on to highlight other traditions that do not assume that the cognitive schemes of actors are fundamentally arbitrary. These traditions in turn suggest that the analytic problems that now arise require attention to the nature of judgment, implying the need for an understanding of the process whereby actors intuit intersubjectively valid qualities of complex social objects. Tackling the very way in which social scientists analyze why people do things, The Explanation of Social Action is a novel and essential take on the evidence on which their explanations are based.

《历史的观念》被誉为20世纪最有影响力的历史哲学著作之一。此书为柯林武德遗作，最初于1946年由诺克斯编辑成书，极受学界关注。1998年牛津大学出版社推出由杜森编辑的《历史的观念》（增补版），澄清了诺克斯版编纂过程中的问题，并且增收了柯林武德在1926－1928年间所做的历史哲学讲演稿。篇幅增加三分之一，有助于读者了解柯林武德思想的原貌。 这部理论性的学术著作，之所以能够成为畅销书，几十年来一直受到读者重视，原因大概有这么几点：一，它要言不烦地梳理了西方人的历史观念的演变，从古希腊到现代，各阶段的特征一目了然；二，作者兼有历史学和哲学两方面的思维训练，所论问题切中历史学的核心，不给人隔膜之感；三，作者思路明晰，语言简练，将深刻的哲学思想用平白晓畅的语言娓娓道来。 * 历史哲学这一课题的研究者，在近代西方是哲学家远多于历史学家，像克罗齐和柯林武德这样以哲学家而兼历史学家的人，并不多见。 ——何兆武 * 1926年和1928年的讲稿尤其重要，它们包含了柯林武德对其历史哲学思想所做的首次全面阐述。因此，通过它们，柯林武德历史哲学的第一阶段得到了完好记录。他后期历史哲学的许多著名观点都是在这些讲稿中第一次被阐述，从而为更好地理解他的观点提供了一个非常珍贵的机会。 ——扬•冯•德•杜森

As a classical treatise on motivations that compel human beings initiate and engage in any undertaking, Kenneth Burke unfolds a systematic elaboration on "basic forms of through which, in accordance with the nature of the world as all men necessarily experience it, are exemplified in the attributing of motives. These forms of though can be embodied profoundly or trivially, truthfully or falsely. They are equally present in systematically elaborated or metaphysical structures, in legal judgments, in poetry and fiction, in political and scientific works, in news and in bits of gossip offered at random." -----------------all about theology.

Statistics-driven thinking is ubiquitous in modern society. In this study of the history of statistics, which begins with probability theory in the 17th century, Alain Desrosieres shows how the evolution of modern statistics has been inextricably bound up with the knowledge and power of governments. He traces the complex reciprocity between modern governments and the mathematical artifacts that both dictate the duties of the state and measure its successes.

Thomas S. Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions was a watershed event when it was published in 1962, upending the previous understanding of science as a slow, logical accumulation of facts and introducing, with the concept of the “paradigm shift,” social and psychological considerations into the heart of the scientific process. More than fifty years after its publication, Kuhn’s work continues to influence thinkers in a wide range of fields, including scientists, historians, and sociologists. It is clear that The Structure of Scientific Revolutions itself marks no less of a paradigm shift than those it describes. In Kuhn’s “Structure of Scientific Revolutions” at Fifty, leading social scientists and philosophers explore the origins of Kuhn’s masterwork and its legacy fifty years on. These essays exhume important historical context for Kuhn’s work, critically analyzing its foundations in twentieth-century science, politics, and Kuhn’s own intellectual biography: his experiences as a physics graduate student, his close relationship with psychologists before and after the publication of Structure, and the Cold War framework of terms such as “world view” and “paradigm.”

索科羅斯基（Robert Sokolowski），這位老牌的美國現象學家，自1964年出版《胡塞爾形構觀念的形成》以來，就一直是現象學界中的頂尖人物。1996年春天，由於與一位數學教授的一場談話，激發他寫作這本認識現象學的入門書，引領讀者認識這門「既是簡單明瞭，又是錯綜複雜」的學問。 什麼是現象學？索科羅斯基指出，現象學是一個重要的哲學運動，也是二十世紀主要的哲學發展方向。它發端於二十世紀的初始，在步入二十一世紀初的今天，我們剛好能夠看到這一百年來現象學的發展。一般而言，二十世紀的西方哲學可分為英美的分析哲學，與歐洲的歐陸哲學，現象學即是二十世紀歐陸哲學中很重要的一部分。 現象學是對人類經驗的探索，是對事物在經驗中向我們顯現之方式的探索。現象學不只影響重要的學術潮流，如詮釋學、結構主義、文學形式主義、解構主義等，並已落實在生活世界之中，成為各種理論建構的基石，在藝術、心理學、護理學、人類學等應用學科中都銳不可擋。本書由大師出馬，以清晰與生動的例子，將現象學的基本要素、語彙做詳盡的解釋，也以日常生活為例，讓讀者從以往的習以為常，進入從現象學角度思考的哲學生活。 本書的優點有兩個方面，第一，基本概念清楚、不囉唆，也不引用原典術語，只要沈潛細讀，大學部的學生大抵都可以領會；第二是廣度夠，涵蓋現象學的存有層面、意義詮釋層面、乃至世界之建構面。想要了解什麼是現象學，本書絕對是第一流的入門必讀好書。

A Turing Award-winning computer scientist and statistician shows how understanding causality has revolutionized science and will revolutionize artificial intelligence “Correlation is not causation.” This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality–the study of cause and effect–on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl’s work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.

For the past fifty years anxiety over the problem of naturalism has driven debates in social theory. One side pursues the idea of social science as another kind of natural science, while the other radically rejects the possibility of objective and explanatory knowledge. All of the various developments in social scientific theory since then have reflected this dichotomy between naturalism and post-modernism. "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" suggests a third way, reframing this debate and offering a synthetic vision that sets out a new understanding of sociological interpretation. Analyzing the work of writers such as Theda Skocpol, Clifford Geertz, Leela Gandhi, Roy Bhaskar, Foucault, and Habermas, Isaac Ariail Reed delineates three epistemic modes of social research: realism, normativism, and interpretivism. Reed argues that the last mode provides a way forward for an anti-naturalist sociology that overcomes the opposition between interpretation and explanation and uses theory to build concrete, historically specific causal explanations of social phenomena. Both an examination of and a theoretical meditation on how social investigators do their work, "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" is an ingenious and fruitful exploration of what makes the human sciences uniquely capable of revealing and explaining our world.

Now in its third edition, Narration and Knowledge is a classic work exploring the nature of historical knowledge and its reliance on narrative. Analytical philosopher Arthur C. Danto introduces the concept of "narrative sentences," in which an event is described with reference to later events (for example, "the Thirty Years' War began in 1618") and discusses why such sentences cannot be understood until the later event happens (no one could have said in 1618 that "the Thirty Years' War began today"). Danto compares narrative and scientific explanation and explores the legitimacy of historical laws. He also argues that history is an autonomous and humanist discipline incapable of being reduced to scientific descriptions. Lydia Goehr's new introduction illustrates Danto's main arguments by questioning her very role, first, as an introducer of a book that has not yet been read by readers and, second, as an interpreter of a book written forty years ago. Frank Ankersmit's conclusion revisits the initial impact of the publication of Narration and Knowledge and considers its enduring legacy.

作者选取了从17世纪到20世纪西方小说史上的15部“里程碑”式的作品，以小说的语言和叙事方法为线索，作了全新的解读，既有小说这一体裁产生之初的《堂吉诃德》和18、19世纪的所谓“经典小说”，也有20世纪现代派小说，其中包括《爱玛》《包法利夫人》《诉讼》《百年孤独》《不能承受的生命之轻》《寒冬夜行人》。在对15部小说的个案分析中，布林克旁征博引，对20世纪西方重要思想家的观点都有比较精到的引证和阐析。
