Christine Korsgaard has become one of the leading interpreters of Kant's moral philosophy. She is identified with a small group of philosophers who are intent on producing a version of Kant's moral philosophy that is at once sensitive to its historical roots while revealing its particular relevance to contemporary problems. She rejects the traditional picture of Kant's ethics as a cold vision of the moral life which emphasises duty at the expense of love and value. Rather, Kant's work is seen as providing a resource for addressing not only the metaphysics of morals, but also for tackling practical questions about personal relations, politics, and everyday human interaction. This collection contains some of the finest current work on Kant's ethics and will command the attention of all those involved in teaching and studying moral theory.

前往淨土的因緣就是「想去的信願心」為自己做生涯規劃——哪裡有佛，哪裡去！◆ 人生最划算的投資：用「搶限量品」的心情，打造你的無憂淨土！念佛的本質是歡喜，而非勉強，如果你能用買限量品時，高度專注的心情來念佛，念到一心不亂，保證絕對往生。◆ 大部分的人其實不太相信世間全然是苦會覺得世間還有些可愛美好的事物、牽掛眷戀的人情，你只是討厭一些不喜歡的，但並不想捨棄娑婆世界的一切。即使念佛多年，仍可能在關鍵時刻放不下這世間的愛與樂——因為「信」的不夠深。◆ 只要相信阿彌陀佛的願力就可以，但其實最難的就是「信」。世間有好的地方，我們會動念想去，這是非常自然、不需要勉強的事。如果你真的相信極樂世界的美好，那麼一心求生淨土，應該也是非常自然、不需要勉強的事。你的內心會非常篤定，也會生起願樂，心隨法轉，想去就去了。就像中了發票或彩券，經過反覆核對，確認中獎之後，內心的快樂油然而生，根本不需要作意，因為你已經確信這張紙是有價值的，不再是一張廢紙。◆ 人生無處不在做選擇，既然都要計較，不如計較大的。念佛並非盲目地感性信仰，本書邀請你像個精明的生意人一樣去「校量」，做生意的思維很簡單：以利益為上。你會為了五萬元的紅包，放棄五千萬的獲利嗎？往生淨土，就是那份獲利最大、最安穩的利益。當你如實信解《阿彌陀經》的法義，看清世間苦樂的本質，你會驚覺：為什麼要執著於眼前的蠅頭小利（世間短暫的快樂），而放棄前往：極致殊勝莊嚴、與諸上善人俱會、永久快樂無憂的極樂淨土？當你確認了淨土的價值，那份「信樂」就像買一張必中的樂透，怎麼會猶豫！丟掉這一期生命都是小虧損，錯失淨土的菩提因緣才是大損失。◆ 念佛不是逃避，是「想回家」當信心扎根於智慧，你會發現往生淨土不再是虛無縹緲的傳說，而是像「回家」一樣——只要交通工具現成（淨土法門）、車資具備（菩提資糧），回家就是一件理所當然的事。就像佛七結束後，你會懷疑自己能不能回到家嗎？時間一到，只要自己想回家，就可以回家了。◆ 為自己做規劃——哪裡有佛？哪裡去！有人問大航法師，下一步要去哪裡？大航法師回答：「很簡單，就是常隨佛學，哪裡有佛哪裡去。兩千多年前，佛陀出世，來不及跟上，現在務必把握，不能再讓機會溜走了。」法師講述《阿彌陀經》，不會一味地鼓勵聽者生起感性的信心，而是更著重於讓大家了解淨土法門的前因後果，以及修持要領。因為在如理思惟背景下所生起的信受，會讓你所持的每一聲佛

【麗池卡登飯店授權書．服務業必讀經典】 揭開全球奢華飯店不敗的經營黃金準則！ 以超越五星級聞名的麗池卡登飯店，祕密不在奢華設施、也不是SOP手冊， 而是把「對人的尊重」傳遞給顧客。 當「用心服務」遇上「專業管理」，每一位員工都能化身為服務的藝術家。 「我們是服務女士和先生的女士和先生」這句傳頌半世紀的座右銘，不僅是麗池卡登飯店集團的靈魂，更徹底改寫全球「奢華」的定義。 兩度榮獲「美國國家品質獎」（Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award），更獲得《J.D. Power》顧客滿意度調查中名列第一、以及各種旅遊雜誌評選中的第一名，成為全球飯店業公認的卓越標竿。 目前麗池卡登全球共有118 家飯店與度假村，3 艘 超豪華郵輪。無論在東京、紐約還是巴黎、墨西哥，從陸地到海上，麗池卡登都能創造出令人驚嘆感動的服務品質。 看《星巴克模式》作者約瑟夫．米其里，耗時逾一年，走進各地麗池卡登，與領導階層、一般員工、顧客的真實深度訪談，他不僅帶領讀者深入這座服務殿堂的幕後，拆解出五大黃金準則，更揭開如何讓「女士和先生」們化身為服務的藝術家，在賓客開口之前，就精準預見並滿足那些「未曾表達的願望與需求」。 在這本書中，呈現出的不只是關於奢華的水晶燈或昂貴的地毯，而是這家百年飯店如何將「感性服務」與「理性管理」完美呈現。 麗池卡登不只是一家飯店，已經成為一個被全世界管理學界研究的「品質指標」。為何麗池卡登會是麗池卡登： 堅不可摧的「黃金標準」與信條文化》 隨身攜帶信念卡：每個員工藉此隨時提醒自己，「我們是服務女士和先生的女士和先生」這不是口號：而是每天的工作準則。 每日晨會：全球每家飯店、每個班次開工前都要開 15 分鐘晨會，只為了討論信條中的某一個原則，並分享一個真實的服務故事。這種「每日洗禮」讓文化深入骨髓，而非掛在牆上的裝飾。 科學化的「品質管理」流程》 對標世界級標準：他們向世界一流企業學習看齊，透過申請「國家品質獎」向摩托羅拉、全錄（Xerox）學習如何「量化」服務。 數據驅動：透過蓋洛普調查，將客戶參與度也能數據化，或「流程改進六步驟」找出問題根源。即使是極致的浪漫服務，背後是極致的精準流程。 一套可複製學習的方法：「新黃金準則」跨越產業與地域，各家企業都可運用。 完全的「賦權」制度》 信任員工：他們相信第一線員工（女士和先生）最清楚客人的需

人在最絕望的時候，需要的是什麼？是有用的建議、去敲醒對方腦袋、說安慰話努力開釋？所有的理論，都無法穿透表象、拯救痛苦與絕望，如何才能真正進入他人內心、發覺真實的脆弱，牢牢接住對方？心結或連結，隔閡或共鳴，關鍵都在同理心。作者喬拉米卡利專攻心理學，是哈佛醫學院教授，弟弟少年得志卻不知人生未來方向，而後因吸毒被通緝，逃離海外；他有自信能勸弟弟回國，透過電話溝通和開導，同時不斷告訴弟弟全家人都很想念他，大家會幫忙解決所有問題、全力支持。弟弟在電話最後說：「我愛你，告訴爸媽，我也愛他們。」不久便自殺身亡。這個極為震撼的結果讓作者崩潰，他無法原諒自己，不停反思：「在弟弟極度絕望之際，最需要的是什麼？」拋開自我視角，深入他人內心、準確理解他人感受，同理心才會有力量與感染力――讓我們能陪伴身邊的人度過悲傷與無助時刻，彌補人與人之間最深層的裂痕，甚至原諒自己、克服自身軟弱。同理心是人類共同的語言：如果想化解仇恨、避免誤會、撫平所有創傷；如果想原諒自己、原諒這輩子最想原諒的人，甚至想認識身邊那些看來不是太可愛或奇怪的人――透過同理心，這些都能實現：★識別同理心的真貌：是同情？還是別有目的？★同理心如何找到真愛、強化親密關係？★表達同理心的7個關鍵步驟★同理心的雙面性：遠離同理心黑暗面的10個方法★獲得同理心力量的8種行為深度理解人性，清楚看待自己，控制批判與譴責的衝動，看懂人們如何感知世界。同理和同情一字之差，卻有天壤之別！同情是為了安慰他人，同理心則是要理解他人。正確的同理心，需要與情緒保持一定程度的距離！同理心可以讓人們準確地互相理解並回應彼此；然而，同理心卻是人際關係中最容易被忽視，甚至被利用來作惡，更常被誤解是「以情緒為導向」的同情。每個人身上都具有成長和改變的各種可能性，藉由同理心的力量，能幫助我們找到內心深層的需求，發掘人生階段中的種種可能，表達出靈魂中最痛苦的問題，明白什麼是感同身受、看懂人心，由此來自我保護，安心坦然地生活。在這本長銷的經典書中，作者拋開常見的醫學標籤，把對人性的反思用在實際臨床諮詢中，不僅以此拯救自己――未能阻止弟弟自殺身亡的悔恨與遺憾，也幫助無數人走過某個灰暗的人生階段。

未來在等待的差異化能力是什麼？ 大家很常問：「接下來十年，有什麼事會出現變化？」 很少人問我：「接下來十年，有什麼事不會出現變化？」 ──傑夫‧貝佐斯（Jeff Bezos） 知道什麼不該改變，什麼該放棄， 找出今日出眾且合意的差異化特色， 站穩軸心，深化紮根， 就能在明日耐久而靈活地轉型發威。 在充滿不確定性的時代，組織與個人如何建立根基，來提高穩定感、深度與價值？這是為當今變化頻繁、處處干擾的商業環境，所撰寫的變革型指南。 書中強調要掌握「軸心」，而非盲目「軸轉」。軸轉一詞，在2020年疫情爆發後，加速成為組織調整策略的代名詞，意味著商業策略上的改變方向。然而，如果沒有差異化與穩定的能力，頻繁的軸轉只會導致企業效益不彰。 作者提出令人耳目一新的「重心腳」（Pivot Foot）概念，如同籃球選手轉身時，一隻腳緊貼地面提供穩定感，才能有力的轉身。重心腳是由顧客見解、產品知識和信任構成的穩固根基，它為變革提供重要指引。書中獨創5D原則，引領企業找出自己的差異化特色： Ø出眾（Distinctive）：組織有別於競爭對手之處，取決於顧客的體驗，而非僅是內部觀點。 Ø合意（Desirable）：產品或服務是顧客真正想要的，人們願意為此付費，同時也能創造內部價值。 Ø耐久（Durable）：難以模仿或複製的差異化特質，通常源於品牌聲譽、生態系統或獨特文化。 Ø靈活（Dynamic）：能適應快速變化的市場環境，確保未來能持續合乎顧客心意。 Ø宣導（Disseminated）：將差異化特色傳達給組織內外人員，確保每個人都了解，並知道如何貢獻心力。 幫助企業釐清應該在何時、何處、如何深入扎根，區分真正的機會與純粹的干擾。精準聚焦於企業最重要的事物，掌握勝出關鍵。

THE INSTANTNEW YORK TIMESBESTSELLERThe must-read new book from Jonathan Karl, the author ofNew York TimesbestsellersTired of Winning,Betrayal, andFront Row at the Trump ShowInRetribution, Jonathan Karl’s unparalleled access brings us behind closed doors deep inside the White House and presidential campaigns, revealing the extraordinary moments that ended one man’s presidency and brought another back to power.This is a story of unprecedented political plot twists, showing what happened behind the scenes as political fortunes fell and rose again, and as a new team coalesced around President Trump with the goal of creating an entirely new world order. From President Biden’s shocking withdrawal and Vice President Harris’s historic run, to the multiple assassination attempts on President Trump, his election, and the changes he has brought to every corner of the country, this book reveals in surprising new detail how we got here, and what we can expect from American politics in the years to

Mary Shelley's classic of gothic horror--a cautionary tale of the limits of creativity that introduced the world to one of the most iconic monsters in literary history--now a major-motion picture by Oscar-winning writer-director Guillermo Del Toro, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth. Obsessed with creating life, Victor Frankenstein plunders graveyards for the material to fashion a new being, which he shocks into life with electricity. But his botched creature, rejected by Frankenstein and denied human companionship, sets out to destroy his maker and all that he holds dear. This chilling gothic tale, begun when Mary Shelley was just nineteen years old, would become the world's most famous work of horror fiction, and is now the inspiration of a film adaptation written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro and starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth.

On her birthday, a girl is presented with a bowl of miyeokguk, seaweed soup--instead of the cake she wants. As she stirs her soup, her mother tells her how mothers eat it after giving birth and how it is served on birthdays to honor them; about haenyeo, women who dive into the ocean's depths to harvest shellfish and seaweed; and how, many mothers ago, a pregnant haenyeo saw a whale eating seaweed after giving birth and tried it after having her own baby--creating a tradition that would continue for generations of daughters to come.Award-winning picture book creator Hyewon Yum has crafted a luminous and heartfelt celebration of motherhood, heritage, and the deep-rooted connection between women and nature.

為何AI不能完全取代人類？因為它不會「讀空氣」◎正體中文版獨家收錄新增章節〈生成式人工智慧的興起〉◎掌握未來趨勢，預見股市脈動 隨著生成式AI如ChatGPT爆發，人工智慧已走進我們的生活，開始逐漸取代，甚至超越人類的思考能力。那些長久以來的老問題又開始浮上檯面：哪些人會失業，哪些工作會被取代？不斷被取代，也不斷創造新的機會取代是促進改變的過程，本書作者認為取代不一定是壞事人類社會的經濟模式至少會有三次轉變：經濟1.0：實體經濟，以農工為主，雖有許多機器取代部分人類勞動力，提升生產效率，但主要的經濟市場還是來自體力。經濟2.0：理性的時代，進入20世紀，機械人工智慧（比如組裝汽車的機械手臂）更全面地取代基礎勞動力，以體力為主的大量男性勞工失業。同時，更多優勢勞動力往需要腦力的產業集中，強調STEM的專業工作（如分析師、工程師）成為「思考經濟」時代的主流。經濟3.0：AI的分析能力已普遍地用來輔助人類的思考推理，當AI可以完整取代人類的思維能力，亦即從分析到理解都做得比人類好的時候，將走入重視「情感經濟」時代。情感經濟時代需要的是……情感智慧！ 今日我們已經可以感受到AI取代人類思考，ChatGPT、Copilot還有更多生成式AI讓部份的工作更有效率。等「情感經濟」時代到來，思維工作將更全面地由AI來執行，人類則往「與人溝通、建立關係、影響他人」等以情感為主的工作邁進。比如理財專員將數據分析交給電腦處理，主要工作轉為維持與顧客的關係。比如計程車司機依賴地圖app變得不會認路，工作重點將轉向維持乘客搭乘的身心舒適（獲得app好評）。情緒回應能力才是讓一個人和機器人產生根本上的不同的關鍵。我們不應留在機械智慧、思考智慧等較低層次的智慧之中，而是發展目前機器人取代不了的高階情感智慧，也就是同理心、情商、社交技巧。不該跟AI比賽寫程式，而是讓自己更懂得「讀空氣」 未來與情感相關的產業及工作機會將大大增加，情感教育家、情感治療師、情感管理顧問、情感行銷專家等等。教育層面也將在STEM之外加入更多情感層面的教育。本次出版特別新增的章節更討論生成式AI工具如何加速我們進入「情感經濟」時代，又如何嘗試「學習」情感，以及目前造成的各種問題。我們不應想像自己走向與AI競爭的時代，而是人工智慧與人類智慧相互合作的關係：把思考交給AI，「情感」留給自己去發揮！

The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld's literary wit to the world now in paperback! "Precise and wryly hilarious...Gauld's both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as Kate Beaton."--NPR Drawn from Tom Gauld's popular comics feature in The Guardian, You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack perfectly distills Gauld's dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Classic strips like "The Bront?Sisters: The Videogame" and "The Serious Rock Critic" (who's written 32 books about Led Zeppelin) intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about politics and human behavior (see: "The Greedy Dog Stands on the Chair of Hope to Feast on the Sausage of Hubris") and whimsical imaginings of the future (see: "The 'Great Automaton Strike' of 2029 Saw the Birth of the Robot Protest Song"). Again and again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of

一名平面設計師苦惱於找不到滿意的照片素材，於是拿起相機親自上陣， 且看他如何從素人自拍進化為替Apple、LandRover、Audi、Cartier等國際知名品牌操刀的專業攝影師，其關鍵在於每一張「有故事」的照片…… 照片，可以說故事，只要你知道如何敘事（人物、地點、事件） 有故事的照片（結構、主題、氣氛、簡約），可以感動人心，只要你懂得拍攝技巧， 不必花重金添購高檔相機，也不用另外報名任何攝影課程， 僅需一台數位相機或人人都有的智慧型手機，以及上網功能， 即可拍出讓你的IG追蹤人數暴增的精采作品！ 此外，隨著網紅行銷的浪潮興起， 為品牌量身打造內容以便於在IG等各大媒體平台曝光， 這種商業行銷手法尤其實用。 直接在影像中置入商品省事又容易，但毫無創意； 根據商品特質發展出貼切的故事， 並在宣傳時為受眾帶來愉悅的心情，才是最理想的作法。 IG 部落客教你用照片說故事，掌握 5 步驟，你也可以成為很會說故事的攝影師。 1. 完美提案。與大客戶建立合作關係。精通談判的藝術。 2. 預先準備。製作情緒板、備妥通告單、拍攝前勘景，穩健地邁向成功。 3. 從容拍攝。依步驟完成數位單眼的專案演練及智慧型手機的拍攝練習，在任何類型的攝影中靈活應用。 4. 妥善編輯。在情節和重要技巧的加持下，使照片獨樹一格。 5. 定稿交件。以故事突顯內涵，在客戶心中留下深刻感受。 如何讓人記住一幅圖像或攝影師的作品？ 關鍵在於影像所要述說的故事； 故事才是影響力的真正來源。 從童話到傳奇，乃至宗教文本和政治宣傳品， 全都是透過故事吸引大眾的注意力並激起情緒， 這麼一來，其背後隱含的訊息才能永久傳遞。 本書旨在引導你不斷嘗試和測試，將故事置於核心位置，協助你創作雋永的攝影作品， 也就是美國新聞攝影師朵洛西亞．朗格（Dorothea Lange）口中的「值得反覆品味的照片」（second looker）。 業界競相爭取合作的攝影師，其攝影作品的質感與某些好萊塢電影的設計和美感不相上下。 ──《赫芬頓郵報》 如果你想走出IG成為貨真價實的專業攝影師，你可得認真看待芬恩在這本攝影教學書中分享的想法、祕訣和思維。 ──@alexstrohl

偶像的人設如何建立？又為何容易崩壞？坊間的自我成長課程真的有效嗎？還是單純只是心靈上的操控？在人人企圖包裝自己、呈現個人特質於社群平台的網路時代，真實的自我，是人們渴望選擇與創造、公諸於世的那個自我嗎？人設塑造的歷史是從何時開始，又有怎樣的演化歷程？人們又是如何相信「自我塑造」能讓自己成為自己的神？——一部人類追尋真實自我，不斷嘗試化理想為現實的「人設大歷史」！＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝從文藝復興時代的貴族，到下班後上健身房、經營社群軟體的現代人，無論是政治家、革命家、發明家、明星名人、IG網紅——每個人做的所有事情都在無形中建立自己的人設！換句話說，處在人設標籤滿天飛的年代，無論是自我塑造、自我成就、自我創新、自我包裝，都是滿足自我成長渴望、建立人設的一環。■人們對自我塑造的迷戀，恰恰反映了過去對專屬於神的力量的迷戀！在現今的AI時代，人們相信在這個世界中不僅可以重塑自我，還可以塑造自己想要的一切。本書便闡述從文藝復興、啟蒙運動、工業革命，乃至到資本主義與現今大眾社群媒體時代，人類是如何到達當今這個熱衷於個人品牌的時代，並探究人類永不停息地需要包裝、展示自己的原因，以及背後的理論和潛在力量。隨著歷史上對宗教、政治和社會的看法有所改變，人們的自我意識也在改變，個人的重要性逐步凌駕於群體意識之上；從相信上帝在人們一出生就決定好每個人應該扮演的角色，到人們相信自己就是塑造自己的「神」——我們逐漸背棄了造物主／神，於「外在」（out there）創造一切的想法，轉而將神放到自己的「內在」（within）之中。因此，人們對自我塑造的迷戀也是過去對專屬於神的力量的迷戀——也就是說，我們重塑自己與眼前的現實，並不是以神的形象創造，而是以自身欲望的形象去創造的！■我們的身分——我們「到底」是誰，已經成為我們所選擇並商品化的事物！如今自我塑造在現今世界已不再是某些人的特權、或是天賦異稟者才能辦到，自我塑造已經成為所有人都必須做的事情——「我們想要成為怎樣的人」、「打造自己的品牌」，已經成為「真實自我」的關鍵。作者認為，我們的念想、我們的欲望、我們渴望自己成為的樣子，或是渴望被他人以特定方式看到的樣子，這些才是我們內心最真實的部分。父母、社群與整體社會對我們的出身與家境、姓名、期望以及賦予的可能性……這些事情對於我們的真正自我充其量也只是次要的，唯有透過內省，我們才能理解生命的
