Decoding the Tragic in Aristotle posits that a specific form of involuntary action lies at the heart of Aristotle's conception of the tragic-a point that remains unexplained in the Poetics. This key insight is illuminated through Aristotle's ethical works, particularly the Nicomachean Ethics and Eudemian Ethics, where the philosopher discusses a type of counter-voluntary error (hamartia) rooted in ignorance of particulars. These references clarify the tragic mechanisms behind the most celebrated dramatic structures in Poetics chapters 13 and 14, which have long appeared inexplicably contradictory. Aristotle's notion of involuntariness is distinct from mere accident, chance, or misfortune. It represents the highest tragic degree when fully integrated into the action that tragedy imitates, evoking the most profound pity, fear, and a sense of wonder. While the ethical treatises help clarify Aristotle's aesthetic theory, they do not-as is sometimes claimed-impose a moral or didactic framew

何弢（1936-2019）是香港著名建築師及文化人。他在現代主義建築大師之間成長，深受包浩斯的原則和精神的薰陶。作為一位博學的通才，他涉獵的領域廣泛，包括城市規劃、建築設計、平面設計、繪畫、雕塑，乃至東西方哲學與宇宙科學等多元文化藝術範疇。建築歷史學者黎雋維蒐集大量何弢未經發表的設計手稿、相片及資料，經過七年的整理與深入研究，還原何弢與香港建築、藝術及文化相互交織的跌宕人生，並記錄低香港文化歷史與建築設計的重要一頁。畢業於哈佛大學設計研究生學院的何弢，師從Walter Gropius和Joseph Sert等現代主義大師。他的建築訓練深受包浩斯思想影響，創作橫跨城市規劃、建築、平面設計、繪畫、雕塑乃至哲學與科學。他以「亂中尋序」為核心理念，將香港的混雜性與市井文化轉化為設計語言。他是香港藝術中心的建築師、特區區徽設計者之一，更是改革開放後首批北上實踐的建築師。何弢的事業從他於1964年自美國回港，到2002年不幸中風，橫跨共五十年。他眾多的作品—包括設計、思想理論和藝術創作—中的實驗與實踐，至今仍然深刻地影響着香港的城市及文化。這本書希望透過重新整理和審視何弢遺世的珍貴檔案，重構其思想脈絡，以彰顯他在香港及國際建築歷史上的地位和貢獻。Tao Ho (1936-2019) —a renowned Hong Kong architect and cultural practitioner.

內容簡介：當Naomi 第一次看見那些無家者時，她試着轉開視線，將他們隔絕在自己的世界之外。但在家人的陪伴與支持下，她勇敢地踏出一步—— 這一步，為她開啟了一個全新的視角，也喚醒了一份改變世界的力量。這繪本由年僅10 歲的香港小學生何綠地創作，講述了一位名叫Naomi 的小女孩，學習如何關懷與幫助無家者的旅程。何綠地邀請了曾親身經歷無家生活的藝術家MY，為本書繪製了感人而充滿生命力的插畫，引領小讀者走進那個常被忽視的無家者世界。何綠地相信：當我們對無家者視而不見，他們就像「隱形」了一樣—— 掙扎無人看見，需要也無人回應。當我們願意以真誠和理解的眼光去看見他們，他們就能重新走進我們的視野，回到我們一起生活的世界。從那一刻起，即使最微小的善意，也能改變一個生命。When Naomi first saw people without homes, she tried to look away and pretend they were invisible.But with her family's support, she took a brave step — one that opened her eyes, her heart, and her world to kindness and change.This picture book was written by 10-year-old Hong Kong student Francis He.

In this revolutionary book, pioneering Harvard Kennedy School professor and behavioral scientist Julia Minson reveals the counterintuitive secret to a life of less drama and more impact.We are in a disagreement crisis.

Yet disagreement is both inevitable and essential for everything from navigating decisions at home to running innovative and agile companies to governing democratic societies.In How to Disagree Better, Minson brings to bear her decades of research into understanding the psychology of disagreement and its relevance to negotiations, conflict resolution, and decision-making, revealing the hidden skill that all the best mediators and negotiators share: displaying receptiveness to opposing views.The science shows that receptive individuals don't just fight less, they also get more done-they are better decision-makers, better peacemakers, and

'An old world is dying; a new world is being born; now is the time of monsters' Antonio GramschiSolnit maps the extraordinary revolution of ideas and rights that we've experienced over the last fifty years, which has profoundly changed our world. In recognising the interdependent and symbiotic relationships in nature and among humans, this revolution is beginning to overturn capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and the human domination of nature - despite the best efforts of the old world to fight back. From one of the most significant thinkers of our day, The Beginning Comes After the End is a culmination of years of activism and offers a unique perspective on our politics and our humanity, to give hope in difficult times and to urgently remind us that the power to change the world is within our reach.

Science, Culture, and Climate: Navigating Change is a timely textbook that explores the transdisciplinary nature of climate change, by welding together different theoretical approaches to bear upon the topic. It makes an engaging, approachable, and provocative case for salvaging trust in science as the best way out of the climate crisis. It proposes trust in science as a key for policy making and long-lasting climate solutions. This concise textbook uses a respectful, non-divisive and conversational voice to connect the stories of humanity's ancient connection to the climate with the political and moral climate challenges that face us now, framed in our culture and history, and sprinkled with easy-to-follow scientific concepts related to climate change. The initial chapter of the book traces the ancient nexus of climate change and the evolution of our human society, and how a colorless, odorless gas - a byproduct of our success - has turned that connection into a crisis. The following

This book addresses the relationship between efficient management of critical minerals and sustainability in the Global South, including Sub-Saharan Africa. Critical minerals are essential raw materials for the technologies that are pivotal in today's energy transition. However, critical mineral host states and communities face social, economic, ecological, political, technological, and governance injustices.The book contends that the criteria currently used in assessing criticality and critical mineral development do not fulfil the sustainable development ambitions of developing countries and that broader considerations must be taken into account to include the stakeholders involved as well as the spatial dimension of the critical mineral value chain. In particular, the book argues that the law must consider the broader context in which minerals become critical to particular processes. It positions this argument within the current context of climate change, the just energy transition,

Investigating the material imprint of water on thought itselfWater Logics examines the epistemological adjustments that take place when we make water the source and medium for thinking about the world. Eschewing metaphorical readings of rivers, seas, and oceans, it brings together leading voices from across the social sciences and the humanities to argue rather for a distinct focus on materiality, engaging posthumanism, biotheory, and other cutting-edge theoretical approaches.From the Caribbean Sea to the Indian Ocean, this rich collection is inhabited by migrants, port cities, and coral reefs. It explores the fruitful potential of water for literary, anthropological, and ethical studies, bringing both cohesive transdisciplinarity and fresh comparative perspectives to hydro-criticism. Taken together, the wide range of critical interpretative practices constitutes a signal contribution to the blue humanities.

Sato Reang enjoys an idyllic childhood of soccer, fighting crickets, and mischief in his Indonesian village--until the day he must be circumcised, and his observant father forces him into a life of Islamic piety. For years, Sato outwardly obeys his father, but all the while the boy chafes at the strictures of his religious routine, longing for everyday pleasures and vowing to himself that he will "become a child who was not pious." His freewheeling linked anecdotes--mixing worldliness and na鴳et? cruelty and innocence--are narrated with a toggling between first and third person ("I"/"he" or "Sato Reang") that potently conveys his disassociation. His adolescent, hormone-fueled crotchetiness expresses dissent: I stopped going to mosque. I no longer joined in worship. I never said my prayers before bed. Sato Reang eats with his left hand--so stupid--and barges in where he pleases, without calling out a greeting. If I was feeling lazy, I'd just piss on a banana tree, and I wouldn't wash mys
