1908年，莫米利亚诺出生于意大利皮蒙特地区一个很有声望的犹太知识分子家庭。对于他童年的情况，我们了解不多。在都灵大学学习期间，他得到当时意大利最著名的古史学家加塔诺·德桑克提斯的指导，从而确立了他一生的研究方向，并表现出杰出的研究才能。尽管当时意大利已经落入法西斯统治之下，墨索里尼已经巩固了他对意大利的统治，但身为犹太人的莫米利亚诺的才能，仍然得到广泛的承认。1932年，年仅24岁的他被任命为罗马大学的希腊史教授；1936年，他重返都灵大学，接替其老师德桑克提斯出任罗马史教授。此举后来颇遭诟病，因为他的老师由于拒绝宣誓忠诚于法西斯而被解职，而莫米利亚诺本人确实宣了誓，并接替了老师的教席。两人的关系，大约也因此受到影响。1938年，莫米利亚诺也终于因为墨索里尼政府的种族主义命令丧失教席，被迫前往英国。出于对老师的尊敬，同时可能也有同病相怜的因素，莫米...(展开全部)

He argues that in the Hellenistic period the Greeks, Romans and Jews formed a special exclus...(展开全部)

In Impossibility, John D. Barrow--one of our most elegant and accomplished science writers--argues convincingly that there are limits to human discovery, that there are things that are ultimately unknowable, undoable, or unreachable. Barrow first examines the limits of the human mind: our brain evolved to meet the demands of our immediate environment, and much that lies outside...(展开全部)

Barrow, Professor of Astronomy at the University of Sussex, has written a very engaging and even playful book. He attempts to show how certain "laws" governing "Nature" help us to separate the possible from the impossible....Barrow's book enjoyable, informative, and thought provoking.

At the centre of modern epistemology lurks the problem of scepticism: how can we know that the forms of our cognition are compatible with the world? How can we state success conditions for knowledge claims without somehow transcending our discursive and fallible nature as knowers? By distinguishing different forms of scepticism, Markus Gabriel shows how all objective knowledge ...(展开全部)

Caspar Hare presents a novel approach to questions of what we ought to do, and why we ought to do it. The traditional way to approach this subject is to begin by supposing a foundational principle, and then work out its implications. Consequentialists say that we ought to make the world impersonally better, for instance, while Kantian deontologists say that we ought to act on u...(展开全部)

Most of us believe that there are limits to the sacrifices that morality can demand of us. We also think that certain types of acts are simply forbidden, even when necessary for promoting the overall good. Here Kagan argues that attempts to defend these sorts of moral limit are inadequate. In thus rejecting two of the most fundamental features of commonsense morality, the book ...(展开全部)
