本書為 Anthony Reid 關於「東南亞商業時代」的重要研究之最終卷，聚焦十五世紀至十七世紀中葉之間，東南亞在全球貿易體系中迅速變動的關鍵時刻。當歐洲正經歷文藝復興與早期資本主義轉型時，東南亞同樣因香料貿易的蓬勃發展，迎來城市化、商業化與國家結構重組的深刻變革。作者指出，貿易導向的城市興起，使國家權力趨於集中與專制，伊斯蘭教、基督教與上座部佛教也在新的政治結構中快速傳播，改變了人們對信仰與個人道德的理解。Reid 將這些變化與歐洲、日本的歷史發展相互對照，同時也審慎分析東南亞在私人資本累積與國家穩定性上的限制。書末探討十七世紀中葉的危機，如何使東南亞逐步退出世界經濟舞台長達數百年。本書以嚴謹學術與清晰敘述見長，是理解東南亞歷史與全球早期現代化進程的重要經典。In The Lands Below the Winds--the first volume of a two-volume set chronicling the rise of Southeast Asian culture during the years from 1450 to 1680--Anthony Reid vividly explored everyday life in the different societies of the region, from diet, housing, commerce, and law to sexual and family relations, patterns of warfare, and popular entertainment. In doing so he enables us to perceive the underlying coherence and splendid variety in the complex mosaic of Southeast Asia.

Two centuries after they were published, Kant's ethical writings are as much admired and imitated as they have ever been, yet serious and long-standing accusations of internal incoherence remain unresolved. Onora O'Neill traces the alleged incoherences to attempt to assimilate Kant's ethical writings to modern conceptions of rationality, action and rights. When the temptation to assimilate is resisted, a strikingly different and more cohesive account of reason and morality emerges. Kant offers a `constructivist' vindication of reason and a moral vision in which obligations are prior to rights and in which justice and virtue are linked. O'Neill begins by reconsidering Kant's conceptions of philosophical method, reason, freedom, automony and action. She then moves on to the more familiar terrain of interpretation of the Categorical Imperative, while in the last section she emphasises differences between Kant's ethics and recent 'Kantian' ethics, including the work of John Rawls and othe
