Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

國立中央大學和余紀忠文教基金會聯合主辦的「余紀忠講座」，2022年邀請中央研究院賀曾樸士主講〈史上首張直接觀測到的黑洞影像〉（First Direct Image of a Black Hole）。賀院士曾任中央研究院天文所籌備處主任及所長，協助該院參與世界幾個大型且重要的望遠鏡計畫，目前擔任東亞天文臺臺長。在本講座中，賀院士首先引用龍應台〈最後的下午茶〉對於余紀忠先生的頌讚，借喻科學研究精神，並以此展開精彩的演講。他從愛因斯坦提出廣義相對論，認為黑洞乃時空的特殊結構開始，說到觀測上如何以獨特的優異儀器與方法來偵測黑洞存在。賀院士進一步說明如何偵測黑洞或極緻密天體所產生的重力波，經過了科學家與工程師數十年努力，終於在2016年偵測到重力波。賀院士帶領臺灣團隊參與了2019年4月「事件視界望遠鏡」計畫，首次「看見」黑洞影像，將臺灣天文及天文物理學帶向國際研究頂尖。演講中賀院士說明自己參與這些研究計畫的心路歷程，提醒科學研究要高瞻遠矚，且有宏觀的胸懷，期勉臺灣在天文以及科學領域未來會有更卓越的成果。

In the first volume of his extraordinary analysis of death penalty discourse, Jacques Derrida began a journey toward an ambitious end: the first truly philosophical argument against the death penalty. Exploring an impressive breadth of thought, he unveiled a deeply entrenched logic throughout the whole of Western philosophy that has justified the state’s right to take a life. He also unveiled literature as a crucial place where this logic has been most effectively challenged. In this second and final volume, Derrida picks up where he left off, more deeply exploring key texts in order to elucidate the first volume’s nascent ideas and arrive at a definitive argument that shows just how profoundly unjust the death penalty is. Of central importance to Derrida in this second volume is Kant’s explicit justification of the death penalty in the Metaphysics of Morals. Thoroughly deconstructing Kant’s position—which holds the death
