《圓覺經》全名《大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經》，透過文殊師利等十二位菩薩與佛陀的問答，宣說如來圓覺妙理，揭櫫一切眾生具足圓覺妙心，是指引如何修行成佛的經典。《圓覺經》廣受唐代天台、華嚴、禪宗、密宗重視，北宋郭印提出佛教四書，清末吳坤修甄選釋氏十三經，它從未缺席，又早早流布高麗與鎌倉時代的朝鮮、日本。該經一卷之薄，允為東亞漢傳佛教「經中之睛」。是次新注新譯，深度利用東亞文獻以校勘、輯佚，紹述唐僧玄奘忠於原典及思想、語言原貌之傳統，從佛學乃至文學角度，予以精當闡釋，化深奧為易懂，內容至簡至要。〈導讀〉一文更明析該經結構、善本、善注、文體，乃至東亞古典時代地位諸議題。研讀佛教經典者，切莫錯過。The Sūtra of Perfect Englightenment 圓覺經, whose full title is The Nītârtha Sūtra on the canon of the great and expansive Perfect Enlightenment (Dà fāngguăng yuánjué xiūduōluó liǎoyì jīng) 大方廣圓覺修多羅了義經, uses a conversation between the Buddha and twelve Bodhisattvas, led by Mañjuśrī, to promulgate the wondrous doctrine of perfect enlightenment. It discloses that all sentient beings have an innate mind of perfect enlightenment, and guides them on how to train to attain Buddhahood. In the Tang dynasty, the Sūtra of Perfect Enlightenment was held in high esteem by the Tiantai, Huayan, Chan, and Vajrayāna (Esoteric) schools. And it was listed in the four Buddhist classics proposed by the Northern Song’s G

您想知道在科舉興盛的宋代，士人如何透過經營策略，建立人際網絡，追求個人功名和家族發展嗎？有哪些因素影響到士人家族的興衰、家族在基層社會的角色呢？作者透過傳世文獻、出土墓誌資料，結合近人研究成果，掌握宋代士人家族，特別是南宋江南家族的發展脈絡，及其人際網絡與社會關係。全書首談墓誌史料價值與限制，及與家族史研究之關係；進而由個案研究出發，探討浙江四明及江西地區，六個著名士人家族的興衰與社會關係演變。最

過去的宋史研究，重北宋而輕南宋，學者常以北宋的種種情狀涵蓋南宋。例如，認為強幹弱枝、重文輕武等都是貫穿南北二宋的國策，以致宋代軍事史之研究，幾乎全以中央直接掌握的禁軍為焦點，對整個宋朝的軍事結構，乃至國家的性質，造成甚多誤解。 書中所探討的地方武力，包括由南宋各級政府所組織的地方軍，以及各種形式的民間自衛武力。他們在抗禦外侮及維持境內治安皆具有舉足輕重的份量；與正規軍一樣，也成為支撐南宋政局的一個

戴震和章學誠是清代中葉學術思想史上的兩個高峰，他們的學術基地在考證，但他們的義理則為整個考證運動指出了一個清楚的方向。不過長久以來，學術即有清代兩百餘年的儒學傳統衹有學術史上的意義，而無思想史可言的偏見，本書乃通過對戴震與章學誠之間在學術思想方面的交涉，加以全面而深入的探討，並從歷史和心理兩個角度勾劃他們兩人的思想側影。從中不僅清晰而真實地呈現出十八世紀中國思想界的面貌，更能窺見清代儒
