The Ivory Tower and the Marble Citadel opens up a new way of pursuing the critical development of political philosophy in today's intercultural intellectual arena. Metzger holds that political philosophies are linguistically unavoidable efforts to infer the principles of morally legitimate government from a maximally enlightened conceptualization of the universal human condition. Because these efforts depend on a vocabulary embodying culturally inherited premises, textual analysis uncovering these premises and debate about how they should be revised are crucial for the improvement of political philosophy.

隨著潮汐漂流的瓶中信只有極少數被人拾起， 剩下那些不知送往何處的瓶子，只能祈求在茫茫大海中， 有人可以聽見它們迫切微弱的呼救聲…… 丹麥最暢銷作家猶希．阿德勒．歐爾森， 繼《籠裡的女人》、《雉雞殺手》後又一懸疑驚悚鉅作！ ──書籍銷量佔丹麥總人口三分之一 ──包辦AMAZON總榜一、二、三名，蟬聯排行榜超過130週 ──國內上市首週即榮登博客來、誠品暢銷排行榜 ──系列三本於德國銷售突破200萬冊 ──榮獲2010年北歐最佳犯罪小說 ──電影由《龍紋身的女孩》製作團隊重金打造 丹麥最神祕離奇、卻又無人能破的懸案，唯有他，能解開通往關鍵線索的密碼。卡爾．莫爾克，哥本哈根的資探警探，具有獵犬般的直覺、對線索緊咬不放的毅力，當最優秀的警探碰上最棘手的懸案，真相能否水落石出？ 傳說撿起海裡的瓶中信會招致噩運， 因為瓶裡往往承載著許多不幸，或是致命的求救訊息。 懸案編號003 六年前，一只在海上漂流的瓶中信自蘇格蘭北方打撈上岸。 然而裡面的祕密因為被視為不祥之物而遲遲未破解， 直到一名調查人員無意間看出信件開頭用丹麥文寫著：「救命」。 求救信傳回丹麥後由懸案組負責調查， 但在海水與時間的磨蝕下，信中以鮮血書寫的字跡大多變得模糊難辨， 一場宛如文字解謎遊戲的辦案過程也於焉展開。 隨著卡爾和兩名屬下逐字拼湊出信件原貌，他們赫然發現， 署名「保羅」的寫信者不僅確有其人，而且在寫下瓶中信後從此下落不明。 為何少年的家人不曾追究他的行蹤？難道他在多年前便已遭遇不測？ 正當調查陷入膠著，一起離奇車禍讓原本天衣無縫的邪惡罪行露出破綻， 串起所有線索的卡爾這才明白，自己面對的並不單是一樁陳年舊案， 而是過去十幾年來，許多破碎家庭的絕望呼救…… 追求公平正義和討厭虛偽的北歐靈魂， 讓北歐的警探推理作品比起英美系冷硬派作品來的更有人味。 ──超人氣部落格作家總幹事黃國華 「懸案密碼」系列： NO.1籠裡的女人（2011年10月出版） NO.2雉雞殺手（2012年5月出版） NO.3瓶中信（2012年11月出版） NO.4第64號病例檔案（暫名）

This authoritative collection contains writings by some thirty of the most significant Chinese writers of the period between 1919 and 1949. The three decades from which these pieces are drawn encompass most of the Republican period, a tumultuous era in Chinese history in which modernization and republicanism coexisted with classical culture. Thematically, these xiaopin wen, or modern Chinese essays, differ significantly from the more social and political fiction of the May Fourth movement. Their scope varies, from ruminations on broader existential issues to more personal contemplations on everyday life, often delving into issues of morality and interpersonal relations. Although described as "essays," they are not restrained by the formal, expository connotations of this English term; rather, their tone is more intimate, reflective, and at times witty or tinged with melancholy.

"On an autumn morning in 1793, Lord Macartney waited to be ushered into the imperial summer retreat to take part in the celebration of the Qianlong Emperor's 82nd birthday. It was a long day; the celebration drama, Ascendant Peace in the Four Seas, lasted five hours. There were many scenes of fish, turtles and other sea creatures, and Macartney guessed it must have had something to do with the marriage between the ocean and land. He could not have been more wrong…" For the Qing court, entertaining foreign visitors was only one of the numerous ritual and political purposes dramas served. Delving into a rich collection of first-hand materials, the author meticulously excavates and combs historical data including court records, eunuchs' memoirs, pictorial archives of opera costumes, and period news. She investigates the development of imperial drama and its influence on the Peking Opera, as well as the function and system of imperial organizations responsible for drama. Also discussed

Understanding how the Chinese writing system illustrates universal design features of writing and literacy learning, as well as how it differs from alphabetic literacy, has become one of the cutting edge areas of research in the cognitive sciences. A major part of this book is devoted to the presentation of a series of proposals for collaborative research with investigators working in East Asia on cross-writing system comparisons and bilingual literacy—Comparing alphabetic and morpho-syllabic literacy. The part that corresponds to "International perspectives" proposes new avenues in research on problems of bilingualism shared by speakers of all languages. With a broad survey of research advances drawing from recent investigations, this book will provide non-specialist readers with examples of how the relevant concepts might be applied to practical problems-age of acquisition effects in first and second language development; analysis of language attrition and asymmetries of different k

Hong Kong began its colonial history in 1842 when China ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain. The Hong Kong Police Force was formally set up in 1844 to maintain law and order. To recognise its contribution in handling the 1967 Riots, the Hong Kong Police Force was renamed the Royal Hong Kong Police Force in 1969, turning a new page in the police history. This volume mainly delineates the Hong Kong policing history from 1842 to 1969 through the frontline stories of many police officers. Eighty retired policemen and policewomen, representing different generations, races, ranks and lines of duties, share the views and memories of their police service through individual oral history sessions and group discussions. Their personal recollections and lively anecdotes enable readers to enjoy the excitement and relieve the challenges, the good days and hard times of the police throughout the eras. These accounts mirror the evolution of the Hong Kong Police Force in the decades after the Second W

This study attempts to analyze systematically the rationale, evolution, and consequences of Chiang Kai-shek's "unity before resistance" doctrine, which was the basis of Nanking's appeasement policy. The author argues that there were a number of independent variables that influenced Nanking's attitude toward Japan: 1) the internal disintegration of China; 2) factional conflicts within the Kuomintang; 3) ineffective administration; 4) the vicissitudes of nationalism; 5) the material backwardness of China; and 6) international mediation. All of these factors were interrelated. The intervening variables were Chiang Kai-shek's personality, his patterns of political behavior, his way of ruling, and his perception of internal and external crises. By adopting the temporary appeasement policy toward Japan, Chiang hoped to gain enough time to consolidate China and his supreme leadership. But Chiang’s appeasement policy in fact engaged his government in two races - one with Japanese aggression an

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself. 真的，我不知道自己為什麼這麼悶悶不樂： 我自己也感到厭煩；你們說見我這樣子，你們都苦惱了； 我怎樣染上了憂鬱，我怎麼遇見、邂逅了它， 憂鬱究竟是何物，它從何而來，還有待我去認識； 憂鬱讓我變得遲鈍， 我都搞不清楚我自己了。 ──《威尼斯商人》(Act I, Scene I) The venom clamours of a jealous woman Poisons more deadly than a mad dog's tooth.

This volume presents a timely assessment of the Hu–Wen Administration at the juncture of preparing a change of China’s leadership in 2012–13. The assessment is important because the administration’s apparent success tends to create a path-dependent orientation on the part of its successor.

The new opportunities and challenges facing China, and how will the likely successors Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang handle those opportunities and challenges, as well as new policy programmes will also be discussed in greater detail. Each essay is written by experts and scholars from different academic disciplines and backgrounds to provide readers with a unique overview of their respective areas of expertise.

為了孩子，我們要回到麥田上！ 第一本結合諮商與教養的教育書！ 14位教授及教師同聲推薦！ 《沒有圍牆的學校》、《移動的學校》李崇建老師最新力作！ 曾經，他讓父親絕望落淚， 如今，他幫孩子們找回人生。 他是孩子們的麥田捕手！ 孩子的問題，大部分都在大人身上。 大人先整理自己的內在，孩子的問題就解決一大半！ ‧一寫起作文就像爛泥趴在桌上的小六男孩，後來不但受邀寫書評，文章還刊登於坊間教材。 ‧愛開黃腔、惡作劇，國二時，連百位數乘法都不會，幾乎被退學的孩子，卻成為擁有獨當一面的領導者能力，以及熱烈追求夢想的上進青年（2011年參與歐洲與亞洲的樂團公演）。 ‧全校老師都頭疼的叛逆狂飆少年，之後卻在美國專門幫樂團製作音樂。 ‧每天用45%以上力量對抗母親的女孩，短短一個月，與母親的關係有最驚人的轉變。 ‧原本全身像滿佈針刺的女孩，國中基測的PR值卻神速進步到93級。 這些改變並非一朝一夕，但他們都遇上阿建老師。 從徬徨的年少走來，阿建老師感受父親對他從不放棄的愛，但除了愛，有沒有其他方式，能讓大人與孩子有更和諧的關係？他發現，大人的內在世界，往往是師生或親子關係的根本源頭。 如果大人能先回頭整理自己的內心，明瞭自己情緒的根源，再逐一調整，那麼大人與孩子都將獲得令人欣喜的回饋。 這是一本跳脫出傳統教育、結合諮商與教養的書，它的許多想法，例如「正向好奇」的態度、真正的「接納」，以及大人請記得給自己一份鼓勵等，都令人激賞。而書裡一則則動人的真實故事，更帶著極大的震撼力量，襲捲著我們的心。這本書帶來的啟發與思考，既深且遠。 關於教育，阿建老師想說： ‧大人除了對孩子真誠表達自我（整理自己內在的情緒），也請記得「給自己一份鼓勵」，例如勇氣、努力、未放棄、未逃避等。 ‧以「正向好奇」的態度，了解孩子內心的想法。如不對孩子說：「為什麼」，而改說：「我很好奇……」 ‧真誠地接納孩子，這樣的接納是一種對生命的諒解，但接納一個孩子，並不一定認同他的行為，但一旦懂得接納，就能真正傾聽，幫助孩子釐清問題。 ‧無論孩子做什麼選擇，沒有孩子想向下沈淪，他們都想成功，都想被愛、被接納，想當有價值的人，這個目標和大人對他們的期望一致，於是大人理所當然能和孩子攜手並進。 ‧與孩子共同面對問題，訂立目標，並持續陪伴孩子。在過程中，孩子會懈怠或放棄是很正常的，但千萬別憤怒責備或說理教誨，否則孩子會回到

Within this text, the contributors provide a historical perspective on the development of anthropology and sociology since their introduction to Chinese thought and education in the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on the 1930s and 1980s. The authors offer different windows on theoretical and research agendas of anthropologists and sociologists of the PRC and Taiwan, shaped as much by their political context as by disciplinary training. In examining the careers of several individual scholars, they also make note not only of their creative contributions, but also of the resonance of their intellectual concerns with contemporary issues in sociology and anthropology (culturalism, frontiers, women). Finally, the volume is organized loosely around the problem of how to translate these disciplines into a Chinese context(s), the issues of "indigenization" (bentuhua 本土化) or "making Chinese" (Zhongguohua 中國化), which have haunted the two disciplines since their establishment in the 1930

Transforming History examines the profound transformation of historical thought and practice of writing history from the late Qing through the mid-twentieth century. The authors devote extensive analysis to the common set of intellectual and political forces that shaped the study of history, from the ideas of evolution, positivism, nationalism, historicism, and Marxism, to political processes such as revolution, imperialism, and modernization. Also discussed are the impact and problems associated with the nation-state as the subject of history, the linear model of historical time, and the spatial system of nation-states. The result is a convincing study that illustrates how history has transformed into a modern academic discipline in China.

I'm a failure. I always have the feeling that I want to get back somewhere, but I don't know just where it is. 我感到失意。我心裡一直渴望能有個回歸的地方，卻遍尋不著。─O Henry. 歐．亨利（O. Henry）是美國知名的短篇小說作家，與契訶夫和莫泊桑並列世界三大短篇小說巨匠。 歐．亨利著作豐富，一生中留下了一部長篇小說和近三百篇的短篇小說。其小說內容主要以美國的大城市生活（尤其是紐約）為背景，主人翁以中下階層的平凡老百姓為主，寫作特色則以出人意料的結局最為讀者所熟悉。 歐．亨利的小說架構設計精巧，故事行進中多有幽默的橋段，最後再以讀者想像不到的結尾收場。歐．亨利很擅長設計這種出其不意的結局，這成為了他小說中最大的特色，這種結局的寫作方法也因此被稱為「歐．亨利式結尾」（O. Henry Ending）。 歐．亨利的原名為William Sidney Poter，1862年生於美國北卡羅萊納州。1902年，他移居紐約，成為職業小說家。他勤於筆耕，寫作速度很快，作品也普受歡迎，因而名利雙收。然而，他步上父親的後塵，染上酗酒的惡習，最終落魄謝世。 本書一共輯錄了歐．亨利深具代表性的15篇短篇小說，包括： 1. The Last Leaf（最後一片藤葉） 2. The Gift of the Magi（聖誕禮物） 3. The Cop and the Anthem（警察與讚美詩） 4. The Romance of a Busy Broker（忙碌證券商的愛情故事） 5. The Love-Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein（愛情迷幻藥） 6. Springtime à la Carte（春日菜單） 7.

Learning to Emulate the Wise is the first book of a three-volume series that constructs a historically informed, multidisciplinary framework to examine how traditional Chinese knowledge systems and grammars of knowledge construction interacted with Western paradigms in the formation and development of modern academic disciplines in China. Within this volume, John Makeham and several other noted sinologists and philosophers explore how the field of "Chinese philosophy" (Zhongguo Zhexue) was born and developed in the early decades of the twentieth century, examining its growth and relationship with European, American, and Japanese scholarship and philosophy. The work discusses an array of representative institutions and individuals, including FengYoulan, Fu Sinian, Hu Shi, Jin Yuelin, Liang Shuming, Nishi Amane, Tang Yongtong, Xiong Shili, Zhang Taiyan, and a range of Marxist philosophers. The epilogue discusses the intellectual-historical significance of these figures and throws into

This is how a Chinese proverb goes, “It takes a long way to tell how strong a horse is; it takes a long time to know a person well.” Yet, the Chinese also developed a set of rules to know a person simply by observation – read first his face and palm, then his gesture and demeanour for his intelligence and his luck. If you’re interested in knowing a person by just looking, this book is an indispensable read: - Is she/he the perfect wife or husband? Is he pretending to be rich, but is actually a less-privileged working class? Is he a sex fiend or a shameless con man? They are giving it away on their face and with their gestures. - What is your boss thinking? How do you tell if a subordinate is loyal? Which of the workers is the most competent? Simply take a look and you’d know. - Read both the face and the palm to tell his/her love luck and if his/her marriage is good or bad. - A mole, a zit, the voice, the hair and the way a person walks are all essential clues to tell his/her luck.

One, I should pull back as my caution told me to, push Kenneth away and, if possible, shove him out of my house. He would glare at me, get crazier than ever, crush the door perhaps and would never ever speak to me again, though for a second, I thought that was all I was after, that Kenneth leaving me alone. Choice two: I should kiss him back, ignore the thousands voices bellowing in my head that Kenneth, the Kenneth whose lips were brushing gently against mine, was a blood-drinking vampire who had killed people, that he had a serious problem of mood swinging. It was then I realized I was undoubtedly, madly in love with him. 本書特色 A start of the Baffled Series; A story about baffled; A survival of a girl who is struggling in a dilemma; A ornament of youth love…… A relationship between human and……

At the close of the Chinese Civil War, two million Chinese fled from the victorious communist army under Mao Zedong. They fled across a long ocean strait to the island of Taiwan where they waited for almost fifty years, dreaming of their lost homes and relatives left behind, aging and living out their lives as defeated, cursed people. But when both Taiwan and China began to become wealthy, the two sides allowed cautious exchanges. The split families met up again. There was hope, joy, sorrow, and disasters. Yet the losers of the Chinese civil war, who had endured for so long, now found a new reason to persevere: they no longer hated their enemies. In fact, they now wanted to join them. This book draws on oral histories with Kuomintang loyalists in Taiwan to show their painful struggles with family, friends, and relatives back in the mainland, their hopes and disappointments, the effects on a changing society and political situation in Taiwan, and the dynamics of cross-strait relation

In December 2008 some 350 Chinese intellectuals published a manifesto calling for reform of the Chinese constitution and an end to one-party rule. Known as 'charter 08,' the manifesto has since been signed by more than 10,000 people. One of its authors, Liu Xiaobo, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 but has remained in prison since 2009 for subversive crimes. This collection of essays -- the first of its kind in English -- examines the trial of Liu Xiaobo, the significance and impact of Charter 08, and the prospects for reform in China. The essays include contributions from legal and political experts from around the world, an account of Liu's trial by his defense lawyers, and a passionate -- and ultimately optimistic -- account of resistance, repression and political change by the human rights lawyer Teng Biao. -- P.
