給仰望者的星空史：天文如何塑造人類歷史（簡體書）

出版日：2023/07/15 作者：(英)斯圖爾特‧克拉克 出版社：中信出版社 裝訂：平裝

從第一次仰望星空開始，人類對宇宙的探索一直沒有停歇。在文明進化的每一段進程中，星空都有著至關重要的作用：我們的智人祖先仰望星空，將其當作時鐘，計算時間的流逝。這意味著他們開始揣摩周圍的世界，思索如何在其中生存，以及他們在其中所處的位置和意義。星空引發了人類歷史上第一次偉大的認知革命！按照傳統的觀念，農業觸發了文明的誕生。但這本書認為，天文才是文明之源！為了修建針對星空的固定儀式場所，人類開始走向定居，走向農業時代。農業重新界定了人與自然的關係，星空既是敬奉神明之所，也可以用作觀看天象之處。對星空的崇拜，推動人類社會進入信仰的時代。而這一時期形成的宇宙觀主導人類思想近2000年，甚至時至今日仍舊束縛著一些人的思想。現代科學探索宇宙的歷史，也是人類理性崛起的歷史。科學革命的到來，讓星空變成物理的場域，不再是神聖的天堂…… 隨著人類對宇宙認知的演化，這種不斷變化的認知也在影響並塑造著我們的文化、宗教、藝術和社會。可以說，對星空的理解，始終支配著人類在大地上的生活。仰望夜空試圖尋求意義正是我們人類難以磨滅的特徵之一。從石器時代到太空時代，本書探索了世界各地對星空共同的迷戀。這種迷戀承載著我們的希望和恐懼，塑造了人類文明，也塑造了我們每個人。一部人類文明史，其實是一部人類探索星空的歷史。講述我們對星空的迷戀，就是在講述我們人類的故事。在星空中，我們可以看到我們的過去，甚至我們最終的命運。

From the award-winning author of Parable of the Sower: After the near-extinction of humanity, a new kind of alien-human hybrid must come to terms with their identity -- before their powers destroy what is left of humankind. Since a nuclear war decimated the human population, the remaining humans began to rebuild their future by interbreeding with an alien race -- the Oankali -- who saved them from near-certain extinction. The Oankalis' greatest skill lies in the species' ability to constantly adapt and evolve, a process that is guided by their third sex, the ooloi, who are able to read and mutate genetic code. Now, for the first time in the humans' relationship with the Oankali, a human mother has given birth to an ooloi child: Jodah. Throughout his childhood, Jodah seemed to be a male human-alien hybrid. But when he reaches adolescence, Jodah develops the ooloi abilities to shapeshift, manipulate DNA, cure and create disease, and more. Frightened and isolated, Jodah must either come t

Law and the Invisible Hand: A Theory of Adam Smith's Jurisprudence

出版日：2021/09/30 作者：Robin Paul Malloy 出版社：Cambridge Univ Pr 裝訂：精裝

A contemporary interpretation of Adam Smith's work on jurisprudence, revealing Smith's belief that progress emerges from cooperation and a commitment to justice. In Smith's theory, the tension between self–interest and the interests of others is mediated by law, so that the common interest of the community can be promoted. Moreover, Smith informs us that successful societies do at least three things well. They promote the common interest, advance justice through the rule of law, and they facilitate our natural desire to truck, barter, and exchange. In this process, law functions as an invisible force that holds society together and keeps it operating smoothly and productively. Law enhances social cooperation, facilitates trade, and extends the market. In these ways, law functions like Adam Smith's invisible hand, guiding and facilitating the progress of humankind.

Decolonizing Wealth, Second Edition: Indigenous Wisdom to Heal Divides and Restore Balance

出版日：2021/08/17 作者：Edgar Villanueva 出版社：Berrett-Koehler 裝訂：平裝

This second edition expands the provocative analysis of the racist colonial dynamics at play in philanthropy and finance into other sectors and offers practical advice on how anyone can be a healer.The world is out of balance. With increasing frequency, we are presented with the inescapable truth that systemic racism and colonial structures are foundational principles to our economies. The $1 trillion philanthropic industry is one example of a system that mirrors oppressive colonial behavior. It’s an industry whose name means “the love for humankind,” yet it does more harm than good. In Decolonizing Wealth, Edgar Villanueva looks past philanthropy’s glamorous, altruistic façade and into its shadows: white supremacy, savior complexes, and internalized oppression. Across history and to the present day, the accumulation of wealth is steeped in trauma. How can we shift philanthropy toward social reconciliation and healing if the cornerstones are exploitation, extraction, and control?

Gods and Mortals in Early Greek and Near Eastern Mythology

出版日：2021/03/31 作者：Adrian Kelly 出版社：Cambridge Univ Pr 裝訂：精裝

This volume centres on one of the most important questions in the study of antiquity – the interaction between Greece and the Ancient Near East, from the Mycenaean to the Hellenistic periods. Focusing on the stories that the peoples of the eastern Mediterranean told about the gods and their relationships with humankind, the individual treatments draw together specialists from both fields, creating for the first time a truly interdisciplinary synthesis. Old cases are re-examined, new examples discussed, and the whole range of scholarly opinions, past and present, are analysed, critiqued, and contextualised. While direct textual comparisons still have something to show us, the methodologies advanced here turn their attention to deeper structures and wider dynamics of interaction and influence that respect the cultural autonomy and integrity of all the ancient participants.

Human Struggle：Christian and Muslim Perspectives

出版日：2021/02/28 作者：Mona Siddiqui 出版社：Cambridge Univ Pr 裝訂：精裝

Many of the great thinkers and poets in Christianity and Islam led lives marked by personal and religious struggle. Indeed, suffering and struggle are part of the human condition and constant themes in philosophy, sociology and psychology. In this thought-provoking book, acclaimed scholar Mona Siddiqui ponders how humankind finds meaning in life during an age of uncertainty. Here, she explores the theme of human struggle through the writings of iconic figures such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Muhammad Ghazali, Rainer Maria Rilke and Sayyid Qutb - people who searched for meaning in the face of adversity. Considering a wide range of thinkers and literary figures, her book explores how suffering and struggle force the faithful to stretch their imagination in order to bring about powerful and prophetic movements for change. The moral and aesthetic impulse of their writings will also stimulate inter-cultural and interdisciplinary conversations on the search for meaning in an age of uncertainty.

Adaptive Intelligence：Surviving and Thriving in Times of Uncertainty

出版日：2021/02/28 作者：Robert J. Sternberg 出版社：Cambridge Univ Pr 裝訂：精裝

Adaptive Intelligence is a dramatic reappraisal and reframing of the concept of human intelligence. In a sweeping analysis, Robert J. Sternberg argues that we are using a fatally-flawed, outdated conception of intelligence; one which may promote technological advancement, but which has also accelerated climate change, pollution, the use of weaponry, and inequality. Instead of focusing on the narrow academic skills measured by standardized tests, societies should teach and assess adaptive intelligence, defined as the use of collective talent in service of the common good. This book describes why the outdated notion of intelligence persists, what adaptive intelligence is, and how it could lead humankind on a more positive path.

Malaria and Victorian Fictions of Empire

出版日：2020/11/26 作者：Jessica Howell 出版社：Cambridge Univ Pr 裝訂：平裝

The impact of malaria on humankind has been profound. Focusing on depictions of this iconic 'disease of empire' in nineteenth-century and postcolonial fiction, Jessica Howell shows that authors such as Charles Dickens, Henry James, H. Rider Haggard, Olive Schreiner and Rudyard Kipling did not simply adopt the discourses of malarial containment and cure offered by colonial medicine. Instead, these authors adapted and rewrote some common associations with malarial images such as swamps, ruins, mosquitoes, blood, and fever. They also made use of the unique potential of fiction by incorporating chronic, cyclical illness, bodily transformation and adaptation within the very structures of their novels. Howell's study also examines the postcolonial literature of Amitav Ghosh and Derek Walcott, arguing that these authors use the multivalent and subversive potential of malaria in order to rewrite the legacies of colonial medicine.

Finding Our Place in the Solar System ― The Scientific Story of the Copernican Revolution

出版日：2019/05/31 作者：Todd Timberlake 出版社：Cambridge Univ Pr 裝訂：精裝

Finding our Place in the Solar System gives a detailed account of how the Earth was displaced from its traditional position at the center of the universe to be recognized as one of several planets orbiting the Sun under the influence of a universal gravitational force. The transition from the ancient geocentric worldview to a modern understanding of planetary motion, often called the Copernican Revolution, is one of the great intellectual achievements of humankind. This book provides a deep yet accessible explanation of the scientific disputes over our place in the solar system and the work of the great scientists who helped settle them. Readers will come away knowing not just that the Earth orbits the Sun, but why we believe that it does so. The Copernican Revolution also provides an excellent case study of what science is and how it works.

A Spirit of Trust ― A Reading of Hegel Phenomenology

出版日：2019/05/01 作者：Robert B. Brandom 出版社：Belknap Pr 裝訂：精裝

Forty years in the making, this long-awaited reinterpretation of Hegel’s The Phenomenology of Spirit is a landmark contribution to philosophy by one of the world’s best-known and most influential philosophers.In this much-anticipated work, Robert Brandom presents a completely new retelling of the romantic rationalist adventure of ideas that is Hegel’s classic The Phenomenology of Spirit. Connecting analytic, continental, and historical traditions, Brandom shows how dominant modes of thought in contemporary philosophy are challenged by Hegel.A Spirit of Trust is about the massive historical shift in the life of humankind that constitutes the advent of modernity. In his Critiques, Kant talks about the distinction between what things are in themselves and how they appear to us; Hegel sees Kant’s distinction as making explicit what separates the ancient and modern worlds. In the ancient world, normative statuses—judgments of what ought to be—were taken to state objective facts. In the mode
