这部著作是对现代思想之根源的揭示。标题中的“Ethics”一词并非指道德意义上的伦理，而是要按照亚里士多德的ta ethe的意义来理解，ta ethe指的是人在世界中行动的特定习惯，因此，所谓“几何学的伦理”指的就是传授和学习几何学的习惯方式和风格。本书探究了欧几里得 《原本》与笛卡尔《几何》在“做几何的习惯方式”上的根本差异，打破了传统数学史把古今一切几何作图都视为“构造”的神话，清楚地揭示出“构造”的观念与古典思想格格不入，作为一项筹划的“构造”是现代性的缔造者们的新发明，它在笛卡尔几何学中起源，在康德的三大批判中瓜熟蒂落，成为从康德到尼采乃至后现代主义的整个现代思想的关键特征。本书原计划有一部续作，题为《构造的主权》（The Sovereignty of Construction），旨在考察笛卡尔几何学的遗产在霍布斯、莱布尼兹和康德手中的进一步...(展开全部)

This book’s basic argument is that the Freudian unconscious, far from constituting a radical break with the philosophy of consciousness, is merely the latest exemplar in a heritage of philosophical misunderstanding of the Cartesian cogito that interprets “I think, therefore I am” as “I represent myself, therefore I am” (in the classic interpretation of Heidegger, one of the tar...(展开全部)

The Genealogy...(展开全部)
