BATTLE AT FEI RIVERAs the northern emperor Fu Jian prepares to march on the south with an army of the undead, Chen Xing and his ragtag team of exorcists make one final, desperate attempt to convince him to reconsider. But even if Fu Jian abandons his unwitting alliance with the forces of darkness, that will only delay the plans of the Demon God Chiyou, not bring them to an end—and Chen Xing is no closer to solving the mystery of the Dinghai Pearl and releasing the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth, without which he knows they have no chance of defeating their ultimate foe. Xiang Shu, meanwhile, makes a drastic decision to solve what to him is the more pressing problem: Chen Xing’s imminent, fated death. Other forces are at work here, though, than the exorcists and their enemies, and when the pivotal moment arrives, nothing goes as either Xiang Shu or Chen Xing could possibly have planned…Series Overview: Once, ancient China was brimming with magic…but three hundred years ago, the S

【反確定不是不確定，而是反抗確定性陷阱。】為什麼我們愈篤定，社會愈分裂？在這個過度確信的時代，我們最缺少的不是立場，而是有勇氣承認「自己可能錯了」。「每個故事都有三個版本：我的版本、你的版本，還有真相。」當我們掉進「確定性陷阱」時，就會輕易認為那些意見相左的人，如果不是壞（充滿仇恨），就是笨（無知愚蠢）。特別是面對社會與政治議題時，因為自身道德上的優越感，導致人們更加義憤填膺。確定性思維會讓人認為：那些我們最在乎的事情，原因和解方明明就顯而易見。但事實上，從個人選擇到種族、性別等爭議性議題，在道德或倫理上往往極其複雜。當每個人都堅信自己握有真理，只會助長世界更加壁壘分明，最終導致人們苛刻批評，甚至將反對者妖魔化。作者指出，這種「絕對的確定性」會讓人陷入三種思考盲點：•定論謬誤（The Settled Question Fallacy）：把自己的知識視為定論，對某件事深信不疑，自然會將相反觀點視為錯誤，甚至視為威脅，這會讓人封閉探問與對話的可能性。•對等知識謬誤（The Fallacy of Equal Knowledge）：我們天真地假設「只要你讀了同樣的書、知道了同樣的資訊，你就一定會同意我」，卻忘了即使擁有相同的資訊，也會因為個人經歷而有不同的解讀。•已知意圖謬誤（The Fallacy of Known Intent）：當對方反對我們的觀點時，我們不僅覺得是他錯了，甚至否定他的人格，這是忽略了在善與惡之間，也存在著灰色地帶。「唯一真正的智慧，是知道自己一無所知。」──蘇格拉底當我們不再急著審判，放下非黑即白的定見，開始好奇「為什麼你是這樣想？」那道隔絕彼此的高牆才會開始崩塌。我們誤以為自己是透過窗戶看世界，看見了毫無雜質的真相；其實，我們是站在哈哈鏡前，只能看見被信念扭曲後的倒影。願意質疑自身思維，未必會浮現正確答案，卻能幫助我們看見世界的複雜全貌，減少兩極化狀態。本書充滿社會學的洞見，啟發我們鬆動心中那份確信，接納每一種看法都有被提出、檢視與討論的空間。

當祕室交易才是國家間外交的「惡靈」，世界會走向和平還是通往戰場？──理解國際政治與陰陽面向的一部歷史批判之書──│書評推薦│《政治學季刊》（Political Science Quarterly）──成功區分了外交手段的保密與外交政策的保密，並對後者提出了嚴厲譴責。 《美國歷史評論》（American Historical Review）──為戰後國際關係的民主化提供了歷史哲學的基礎。保羅．芮恩施（Paul S. Reinsch）的經典著作《祕密外交》（Secret Diplomacy: How Far Can It Be Eliminated?）於1922年出版，深入剖析祕密外交在國際關係上的必要性。全書回顧外交制度的歷史背景，從十八世紀一路追溯到二十世紀初，並對長期主導國際外交的祕密運作方式提出嚴厲批判。1919年，原為美國駐華公使的芮恩施，眼見美國為了換取日本加入「國際聯盟」（League of Nations），在山東問題上向日本妥協，犧牲中國利益，從那時起，他便卸下美國外交官的身分，不再與之為伍。或許正是一次世界大戰期間與戰後的震撼，芮恩施才真正看清祕密外交的危險。他知道歐洲列強在檯面下簽訂密約、交換利益，讓無數人民為此付出代價。即使戰後高喊「公開外交」與和平理想，各國仍舊難以擺脫舊式權力政治的陰影。芮恩施以親歷者的視角指出，祕密外交不只是歷史遺留下來的壞習慣，更是一把反覆引爆衝突的隱形導火線；若不加以約束，世界仍可能再次被拖入災難之中。在本書中，作者以歷史階段為線索展開論述：從十八世紀歐洲傳統的外交策略談起，逐步剖析在一次世界大戰前不同時期的演變與影響：‧拿破崙戰爭結束後的維也納會議十九世紀初拿破崙戰爭結束後，歐洲列強在維也納會議中重新劃分權力版圖，建立起以「勢力均衡」為核心的國際秩序。表面上，這套體系成功避免了大規模戰爭；實際上，歐洲和平卻是由少數君主與外交官在密室中協商維繫，讓祕密外交以「維持秩序」的名義下，逐步成為國際政治的常態。‧政治強人主導的外交策略十九世紀中葉，歐洲外交進入由政治強人主導的時代。拿破崙三世善於以隱密協議操縱國際局勢；迪斯雷利在英國帝國擴張中靈活運用私下談判；俾斯麥則以精密的祕密結盟與外交算計，完成德意志統一。芮恩施透過三位關鍵人物，展示祕密外交如何成為權力政治的利器，也揭示個人意志在缺乏公開監督下，對歐洲命運所造成的深遠影響。
