Time is our biggest worry: there is too little of it. The acclaimed Guardian writer Oliver Burkeman offers a lively, entertaining philosophical guide to time and time management, setting aside superficial efficiency solutions in favor of reckoning with and finding joy in the finitude of human lifeThe average human lifespan is absurdly, insultingly brief. Assuming you live to be eighty, you have just over four thousand weeks.Nobody needs telling there isn’t enough time. We’re obsessed with our lengthening to-do lists, our overfilled inboxes, work-life balance, and the ceaseless struggle against distraction; and we’re deluged with advice on becoming more productive and efficient, and “life hacks” to optimize our days. But such techniques often end up making things worse. The sense of anxious hurry grows more intense, and still the most meaningful parts of life seem to lie just beyond the horizon. Still, we rarely make the connection between our daily struggles with time and the ultimate

本書特色＊Introducing key concepts such as religion, humanity, ideology and education through literature in the Turkish context＊Helping the readers to see and to appreciate the insights of scholars from different research areas, especially literature, education, language teaching.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe publishing house (Taipei, Taiwan), for his great support and his encouragement for getting academic writings published in Taiwan. Also, my thanks go to Ms. Irene Cheng, Ms. Lestat Yin, and the whole editorial team of Showwe.【Preface】 In the Turkish context, how can one see the relations among key concepts such as education, literature and culture? Thinking about Turkey and comparing it to Europe or to Asia, one realises that Turkey is non of them -- and yet, Turkey is also all of them. It represents a vision in a way which it is not specifically inclusive or exclusive. It does not take everything in. But if it takes something in, it giv

民主是一場幻覺？ 民主與自由這兩個充滿希望的詞彙，如今卻遭到扭曲與濫用，甚至侵害社會，完全違背了原有的概念與宗旨。在思想灌輸取代資訊提供的今日，我們該如何察覺真相？ 過去數十年來，民主被嚴重掏空――民主被民主的幻覺取代、公共辯論被認知作戰與控制手段取代、成熟的公民被政治冷感的消費者取代。於此同時，選舉對於根本的政治問題已起不了任何作用。 對於真正重要的政治決策，有話語權的是政治與經濟團體，而他們不僅沒有民主合法性，也沒有民主問責義務。菁英掌權不僅對經濟、社會與心理具破壞性，更逐漸摧毀我們的社會與生活基礎。 本書所有章節都圍繞著用以削弱民主的策略以及民眾未能察覺蹊蹺的原因、討論新自由主義與菁英民主如何破壞今日的社會、揭穿思想灌輸系統與其歷史，並介紹心理學上各種影響大眾認知的方法。 「尤其是所謂的知識分子階級會產生接受到資訊的幻覺，可想而知，他們在某種程度上被掌權者灌輸了不同的意識形態。這在今天與納粹時期並無二致，因為沉默與容忍都是鞏固權力意識形態的重要元素。」──萊納．毛斯費德 特別邀請譯者趙崇任、中山大學哲學所洪世謙教授、中正大學傳播學系羅世宏教授、東吳大學政治系劉必榮教授，一起討論本書，歡迎收聽「南方家園小客廳」https://open.firstory.me/user/ckih360qw5fii0826otr104sx/platforms  當你接收資訊時，能夠辨別真假嗎？  出版即成為德國《明鏡》週刊暢銷排行榜第一名  揭露政府與學界共同研發操控民眾思想的技術  中山大學哲學所洪世謙教授專文導讀

The first exhaustive English-language history and analysis of the Chinese opera genre, Kunqu. In Kunqu: A Classical Opera of Twenty-First-Century China, Joseph S. C. Lam offers a holistic and interdisciplinary view of Kunqu, a 600-year-old genre of Chinese opera that has been fashionably performed inside and outside of China. The first comprehensive and scholarly book on Kunqu written in English, this book explains how and why the genre charms and signifies Chinese culture, history, and personhood. Approaching the genre from several perspectives, ranging from those of performers and producers to those of casual audiences, dedicated connoisseurs, and scholarly critics, Lam also employs a judicious blend of Chinese and international theories and methods. Herein, he establishes the significance of Kunqu not only in the sphere of Chinese music but among the cultural heritage and performing arts at a global level as well.

When rescuers meet the boat, there are only two people left―a big child and a little one. The big one, remembering the trip across the dark sea, hides indoors. The little one ventures out, making friends, laughing, growing strong. When he brings the outside in, in the form of a butterfly, will his sister find the courage to guide the winged creature back into the world where it belongs? Powerful illustrations dance between dark and light in a moving tale of empathy, resilience, and the universal need for home and safety.
