年度曼布克獎得主。作者以一個南非白人家庭的葬禮為主軸，藉年輕一代家庭成員的口提出家庭對長期工作的黑人女傭沒有遵守的承諾，深入描述他們從種族隔離年代到現今社會的種種故事。Discover the Booker Prize-shortlisted literary masterpiece of a family in crisis.'Astonishing' Colm ToibinThe Promise charts the crash and burn of a white South African family, living on a farm outside Pretoria. The Swarts are gathering for Ma's funeral. The younger generation, Anton and Amor, detest everything the family stand for - not least the failed promise to the Black woman who has worked for them her whole life.After years of service, Salome was promised her own house, her own land... yet somehow, as each decade passes, that promise remains unfulfilled.The narrator's eye shifts and blinks: moving fluidly between characters, flying into their dreams; deliciously lethal in its observation. And as the country moves from old deep divisions to its new so-called fairer society, the lost promise of more than just one family hovers behind the novel's title.In this story of a diminished family, sharp and

所謂公務倫理意指公共服務的倫理（Ethics of Public Service），而本書關注的重點在於公務倫理形而上層次的課題，故稱為後設分析（meta-analysis）。作者先從作為倫理依據的道德論述著手，探討不同的道德論述對於公務倫理思維的影響，進而再剖析這些不同取向的公務倫理思維在行政治理實務的體現及其背後的哲學意涵。隨後，將先前的探討導入更為寬廣的視野，闡述公務倫理的現代主義色彩，呈

A new theory is taking hold in neuroscience. It is the theory that the brain is essentially a hypothesis-testing mechanism, one that attempts to minimise the error of its predictions about the sensory input it receives from the world. It is an attractive theory because powerful theoretical arguments support it, and yet it is at heart stunningly simple. Jakob Hohwy explains and explores this theory from the perspective of cognitive science and philosophy. The key argument throughout The Predictive Mind is that the mechanism explains the rich, deep, and multifaceted character of our conscious perception. It also gives a unified account of how perception is sculpted by attention, and how it depends on action. The mind is revealed as having a fragile and indirect relation to the world. Though we are deeply in tune with the world we are also strangely distanced from it.The first part of the book sets out how the theory enables rich, layered perception. The theory's probabilistic and statist
