《圓覺經》全名《大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經》，透過文殊師利等十二位菩薩與佛陀的問答，宣說如來圓覺妙理，揭櫫一切眾生具足圓覺妙心，是指引如何修行成佛的經典。《圓覺經》廣受唐代天台、華嚴、禪宗、密宗重視，北宋郭印提出佛教四書，清末吳坤修甄選釋氏十三經，它從未缺席，又早早流布高麗與鎌倉時代的朝鮮、日本。該經一卷之薄，允為東亞漢傳佛教「經中之睛」。是次新注新譯，深度利用東亞文獻以校勘、輯佚，紹述唐僧玄奘忠於原典及思想、語言原貌之傳統，從佛學乃至文學角度，予以精當闡釋，化深奧為易懂，內容至簡至要。〈導讀〉一文更明析該經結構、善本、善注、文體，乃至東亞古典時代地位諸議題。研讀佛教經典者，切莫錯過。The Sūtra of Perfect Englightenment 圓覺經, whose full title is The Nītârtha Sūtra on the canon of the great and expansive Perfect Enlightenment (Dà fāngguăng yuánjué xiūduōluó liǎoyì jīng) 大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經, uses a conversation between the Buddha and twelve Bodhisattvas, led by Mañjuśrī, to promulgate the wondrous doctrine of perfect enlightenment. It discloses that all sentient beings have an innate mind of perfect enlightenment, and guides them on how to train to attain Buddhahood. In the Tang dynasty, the Sūtra of Perfect Enlightenment was held in high esteem by the Tiantai, Huayan, Chan, and Vajrayāna (Esoteric) schools. And it was listed in the four Buddhist classics proposed by the Northern Song’s G

2022年5月28日─8月28日V&A博物館+北美館「瑪莉官：時尚革命者 Mary Quant: Fashion Revolutionary 」英國倫敦維多利亞與亞伯特博物館──世界巡迴展指定刊物迷你裙、緊身褲、娃娃裝、PVC雨衣第一代時尚KOL革新女性穿衣方式的風格先驅──瑪莉官Mary Quant唯一繁體中文專書「要能活在對的時代、對的地點，身懷絕佳天份的人不但為之少數， 更享有極大榮幸。在近代時尚界，這三個人便是香奈兒、迪奧， 以及瑪莉官。」──前大英博物館館長暨《星期日泰晤士報》副編輯恩尼斯汀．卡特（Ernestine Carter）偉大的時尚設計師，會給予人們事物，而人們從未想過自己需要這些東西，直到他們親眼見證事實。六?年代的時尚，大多數人印象最深刻的，必定是當時的超模Twiggy其洋娃娃般的靈性，以及她身穿的迷你裙！當時的名模Pattie Boyd與披頭四George Harrison的婚禮，也穿著瑪莉官設計的皮草外套。除此之外，舉凡現在已司空見慣的熱褲、緊身褲與PVC雨衣，全都是因她而生。她徹底解放了當時女性的穿著，叛經離道不足以說明當時人們對她設計出來的衣服產生的感受，她也擺脫了高級訂製服的追求完全匹配，精準製作的風氣，利用自由的設計，與成本相對低廉的材質，推行大量生產，讓流行變成普羅大眾生活的一部分。「香奈兒痛恨我，」官說。「我能理解原因何在。那時（六?年代），所有人總會不停問她：『妳怎麼看瑪莉官？』」本書是史上第一本集中研究瑪莉官職業生涯的專書，展現出她如何徹底改變了時尚，且如何以年輕人為對象、大舉採用街頭風格和量產化，來替一整個世代的人創造了新的外觀。書中詳細說明了瑪莉官在戰後英國、歐洲與美國時尚背景下，是如何開展業務的，並探討了她是如何靠著創新的行銷方式，打造出一個無比強大的全球知名品牌。此外，書中還收錄了瑪莉官最新的設計作品，以及過去從未發表過的時尚照與設計，活靈活現地講述出其設計與種種偉大事蹟。

★ 前華爾街量化分析師揭露：演算法如何操控你的未來★ 大數據黑暗面全面曝光：看不見的歧視與不公平我們以為世界正變得更公平——由機器取代人類做決策，似乎能消除偏見。但真相，可能正好相反。在這個「演算法主宰」的時代，你能否錄取學校、拿到工作、申請貸款，甚至保險費率高低，都悄悄被一套看不見的數學模型決定。這些系統看似客觀，卻無法被檢驗，也無從質疑，一旦出錯，影響卻會層層放大。數學家暨資料科學家凱西．歐尼爾，以親身經驗揭開大數據的陰暗面：這些模型不只沒有消除不平等，反而強化既有的階級與歧視，讓弱勢更難翻身。本書如同一場警醒之旅，帶你看見科技背後不為人知的權力運作。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword“A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial TimesNATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On PointWe live in the age of the algorithm.
