Modern Social Imaginaries
Douban
Charles Taylor publishing house: Duke University Press Books 2003
One of the most influential philosophers in the English-speaking world, Charles Taylor is internationally renowned for his contributions to political and moral theory, particularly to debates about identity formation, multiculturalism, secularism, and modernity. In "Modern Social Imaginaries", Taylor continues his recent reflections on the theme of multiple modernities. To account for the differences among modernities, Taylor sets out his idea of the social imaginary, a broad understanding of the way a given people imagine their collective social life.Re-telling the history of Western modernity, Taylor traces the development of a distinct social imaginary. Animated by the idea of a moral order based on the mutual benefit of equal participants, the Western social imaginary is characterized by three key cultural forms - the economy, the public sphere, and self-governance. Taylor's account of these cultural formations provides a fresh perspective on how to read the specifics of Western modernity: how we came to imagine society primarily as an economy for exchanging goods and services to promote mutual prosperity, how we began to imagine the public sphere as a metaphorical place for deliberation and discussion among strangers on issues of mutual concern, and how we invented the idea of a self-governing people capable of secular "founding" acts without recourse to transcendent principles.Accessible in length and style, "Modern Social Imaginaries" offers a clear and concise framework for understanding the structure of modern life in the West and the different forms modernity has taken around the world.

Judith Butler publishing house: Routledge 2006 - 5 other title: Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity
Since its publication in 1990, Gender Trouble has become one of the key works of contemporary feminist theory, and an essential work for anyone interested in the study of gender, queer theory, or the politics of sexuality in culture. This is the text where Judith Butler began to advance the ideas that would go on to take life as "performativity theory," as well as some of the first articulations of the possibility for subversive gender practices, and she writes in her preface to the 10th anniversary edition released in 1999 that one point of Gender Trouble was "not to prescribe a new gendered way of life [...] but to open up the field of possibility for gender [...]" Widely taught, and widely debated, Gender Trouble continues to offer a powerful critique of heteronormativity and of the function of gender in the modern world.

The Human Condition

★ 9.5 8 ratings
Hannah Arendt publishing house: University of Chicago Press 1998 - 12
A work of striking originality bursting with unexpected insights, The Human Condition is in many respects more relevant now than when it first appeared in 1958. In her study of the state of modern humanity, Hannah Arendt considers humankind from the perspective of the actions of which it is capable. The problems Arendt identified then—diminishing human agency and political freedom, the paradox that as human powers increase through technological and humanistic inquiry, we are less equipped to control the consequences of our actions—continue to confront us today. This new edition, published to coincide with the fortieth anniversary of its original publication, contains an improved and expanded index and a new introduction by noted Arendt scholar Margaret Canovan which incisively analyzes the book's argument and examines its present relevance. A classic in political and social theory, The Human Condition is a work that has proved both timeless and perpetually timely.

Responsibility and Judgment
Responsibility and Judgment Douban Goodreads
Hannah Arendt publishing house: Schocken 2005 - 8
Responsibility and Judgment gathers together unpublished writings from the last decade of Arendt’s life, where she addresses fundamental questions and concerns about the nature of evil and the making of moral choices. At the heart of the book is a profound ethical investigation, “Some Questions of Moral Philosophy,” in which Arendt confronts the inadequacy of traditional moral “truths” as standards to judge what we are capable of doing and examines anew our ability to distinguish good from evil and right from wrong. We also see how Arendt comes to understand that alongside the radical evil she had addressed in earlier analyses of totalitarianism, there exists a more pernicious evil, independent of political ideology, whose execution is limitless when the perpetrator feels no remorse and can forget his acts as soon as they are committed. Responsibility and Judgment is an indispensable investigation into some of the most troubling and important issues of our time.

反抗“平庸之恶”

[德国] 汉娜·阿伦特 translator: 陈联营 publishing house: 上海人民出版社 2014 - 4
没有人比阿伦特更了解:20世纪的道德大崩溃,不是由于人的无知或邪恶,未能辨别道德“真相”,而是由于道德“真相”不足以作为标准,评判人们当下可能做出的事情。道德需要重建,而重建道德的前提是社会中的每个个体,能够反抗道德崩溃时代平庸之恶的引诱,不放弃思考,不逃避判断,承担起应有的道德责任。 本书收录的文章,主要是艾希曼事件之后,阿伦特对于“平庸之恶”的回应,以及对纳粹犹太屠杀的评论。在这些文章中,阿伦特深入探讨了与平庸之恶相关的政治与道德问题,如“极权统治下的个人责任”“集体责任和个人责任之间的关系”“思考与道德之间的关系”,等等。“过去不再启示未来,人心在昏暗之中徘徊”,在人心无所依傍的时代,阿伦特犀利的视角和关切,为我们思考个人处境和选择立场提供了富有启迪的抓手。 本书是《责任与判断》中文修订版,首收中研院研究员蔡英文专文导读:阿伦特为文一向关注现实的政治与道德的重大议题,文章的肌理糅合了冷静之概念分析与思辨的热情,因而带有相当大的思想激励。

《悉达多》并非是佛陀的故事,它讲述了一个人的一生,千万寻常人亦会经历的一生。 意气风发的少年郎,常认为自己是被命运选中的人。抛下过去,随了跌跌撞撞的步伐,找寻心中的声音,追逐名利,经历友情,品尝爱情。不同的是,悉达多一生追求的是生命的圆融统一,看似宏大,确是每个人无法回避的问题。 黑塞的语言是充满诗性的,正如本书副题“一首印度的诗”,因不得而知的原因,此副题在前人所出版本中都被回避了。为了尽可能表现黑塞的诗意,我们选择从德文直译(据悉市面销量最高版本译自英文版),尽管我们的译文不能完全实现这种诗意,但其诗的本性与精神显而易见。 本书地位在前人的版本中已被反复强调——亨利·米勒的最爱;影响了包括电台司令在内的许多名人雅士;在六十年代美国掀起过阅读黑塞的热潮,大学生们人手一册等等。 但如书中成为摆渡人的悉达多所述,智慧无法分享,它可以被发现,被体验。 所以倘若你碰巧遇到了这本小书,请细细品味其中的文字。 愿你在读了悉达多的故事后,也能有所感悟,并开始体验属于自己的人生。

小说的故事大意是:在一个未来的世界里,玻璃球游戏成了音乐和数学演变而成的符号系统,是人类所有的知识和精神财富。由于纷繁的政治和战争,人类文明正面临毁灭的威胁。为拯救和宣扬人类这一精神文化,某宗教团体在做不懈的努力。克乃西特是个孤儿,由该宗教团体抚养成人,他天资聪颖,凭借自己出众的才华和优越的组织才能,在这个精英群体里不断上升,直至团体的最高顶端,成为玻璃球游戏大师。但随着年龄的增长,他逐渐不满足这个与世隔绝的精神王国,觉得在这种象牙塔里是不可能为民众做出贡献的。于是他来到现实世界,试图用教育来改善整个世界。然而他事业未竟,却在一次游泳 中不幸溺水身亡。 本书是老年黑塞回溯其一生的精神体验的结晶。作品从1931年写到1934年,几乎与希特勒上台到灭亡同步。作者的目标很明确:“一是构筑抗拒毒化以卫护我得以生存的精神空间,二是表达悖逆野蛮势力的精神思想”。十二载的苦心经营,作者几乎动用了一切文学手段:诗歌、格言、书信、传记、理论等等,在这部小说中可称应有尽有,而且各种题材在书中既打成一片又相对独立,如作为附录的三篇记述不同历史时期不同国家信仰者的传记,貌视互不相关,却在本质上与整部作品浑然一体,密切呼应。

Beauty
Douban
Roger Scruton publishing house: Oxford University Press 2011 - 4
Beauty can be consoling, disturbing, sacred, profane; it can be exhilarating, appealing, inspiring, chilling. It can affect us in an unlimited variety of ways. Yet it is never viewed with indifference. In this Very Short Introduction the renowned philosopher Roger Scruton explores the concept of beauty, asking what makes an object - either in art, in nature, or the human form - beautiful, and examining how we can compare differing judgements of beauty when it is evident all around us that our tastes vary so widely. Is there a right judgement to be made about beauty? Is it right to say there is more beauty in a classical temple than a concrete office block, more in a Rembrandt than in last year's Turner Prize winner? Forthright and thought-provoking, and as accessible as it is intellectually rigorous, this introduction to the philosophy of beauty draws conclusions that some may find controversial, but, as Scruton shows, help us to find greater sense of meaning in the beautiful objects that fill our lives.
