《共議同行：教會前行的新路向》是翻譯自Synodality: A New Way of Proceeding in the Church，原著由主教會議總秘書處神學委員會專家拉菲爾．盧西安尼教授（Rafael Luciani）撰寫。若有留意近年天主教會大事的人，想必會注意到2023至2024年兩期主教會議均以「共議同行」作為其主題。「共議同行」（Synodality）在華人天主教群體裡，亦翻譯作「同道偕行」、「共議精神」，無論是選取哪一個詞彙，都很難單單從四個字去完全表達一個創新的神學內涵，亦因此在華人天主教群體中，至今討論熱度不如西方基督徒世界。如今這本新書的出版，作為認識共議同行的一本入門讀物，可給華人基督徒或者對天主教會的發展有興趣的華人讀者，以他們熟悉的文字了解這個影響著全球天主教會未來路向的一個重要思想和行動指引。

Doctor Strange, one of Marvel’s most fascinating early characters, began at the hands of co-creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, and his ethereal voyages through other dimensions made him an important figure in 1960s culture.From his first appearance in 1963, Strange captivated a wide range of readers. Over his first ten years, a succession of writers and artists—including Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, Gardner F. Fox, P. Craig Russell, Marie Severin, and notably Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner—expanded on Ditko’s original mind-bending concepts.This entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS explores Strange’s changing roles as a mystic, super hero, and leader of a chaotic team called the Defenders, and the rise of his popularity, in parallel with the counterculture of the 1960s.

《政治學導論》是拉斯基面向非專業讀者撰寫的政治學入門著作，集中展現了他的代表作《政治學基本原理》（A Grammar of Politics）的精華，可以說是他過渡期觀點的最佳概括。《政治學導論》的主要線索即國家，包括國家的本質、功能、組織和國家與國家的關係等。拉斯基認為，國家的本質是主權性質的法律命令，決定法律內容的是國家的經濟制度，國家的目的應該是最大程度地滿足人們的需求。鑒於國家的法律秩序所表達的是人們的有效需求，所以如果公民的物質地位存在巨大的差別，那麼國家的目的也就無法實現。因而拉斯基主張，國家是諸多社會聯合體中的最高形式，對於國家的目的而言，自由可以讓人們確切地表達需求，平等則是這些需求得到公正權衡的唯一保障。他認為民主政體在塑造國家法律命令時能夠考慮最廣泛的需求，最後在戰爭陰雲密布的背景下，拉斯基討論了由主權國家所組成的國際社會如何維護和平與合作，他認為當時的國際組織雖然存在各種缺陷，但已然昭示著未來的發展趨勢。

社會科學作為科學的一部分，其研究必須建立在一定的本體論與認識論基礎之上（尤其是本體論），而自笛卡爾到波普爾以來的科學哲學傳統，幾乎都不太觸及 “本體論”。因此，巴斯卡提出了一個顯然比波普爾的“劃界問題”更加根本的問題：是什麼（樣的本體存在）才使得科學活動成為可能？《科學的實在主義理論》一書則試圖回答這個問題。巴斯卡認為，世界應該被劃分成三個領域，即真實領域（Domain of Real）、事實領域（Domain of Actual）和經驗領域（Domain of Empirical），這三個領域依次真包含，即真實領域包含事實領域、事實領域包含經驗領域。三個領域對應的是世界運行的機制（mechanism）、事物（event）和經驗（experience）。人類的經驗生活存在於經驗領域；通過人類的想像和思考，事物能夠為人類所認識；但無論如何，人類無法利用自身的理念來直接觸及世界運行的機制。世界運行的機制在事實領域和經驗領域中始終存在著，人類的科學活動正是在事實領域和經驗領域中探索，因而能夠感知到機制的存在；但另一方面，由於機制存在於人類無法直接觸及的真實領域，因此窮盡對機制的探索是不可能的。只有在本體論上絕對主義的前提下強調認識論的相對主義，才能夠使得科學能夠在開放體系下踏實地在往真理的大道上前行。只有在科學實在主義的本體論前提下，才能在“科學發現的邏輯”引領下，制定出真正的“科學研究的綱領”。巴斯卡將科學哲學在本體論的意義上向前大大推進了一步。
