What does it mean to be a morally good person? It can be tempting to think that it is simply a matter of performing certain actions and avoiding others. And yet, there is much more to moral character than our outward actions. We expect a good person to not only behave in certain ways, but also to experience the world in certain ways within. Pleasure, emotion, and attention are ...(展开全部)

Uniting 30 years of authoritative scholarship by a master of textual detail, "Machiavelli's Virtue" is a comprehensive statement on the founder of modern politics. Harvey C. Mansfield begins by analyzing Machiavelli's radical concept of virtue. Rejecting customary morality, Machiavelli teaches that the prince must set his own terms for politics and morality in the state.

Uniting thirty years of authoritative scholarship by a master of textual detail, "Machiavelli's Virtue" is a comprehensive statement on the founder of modern politics. Harvey Mansfield reveals the role of sects in Machiavelli's politics, his advice on how to rule indirectly, and the ultimately partisan character of his project, and shows him to be the founder of such modern and...(展开全部)

乔治·巴塔耶（1897—1962），法国思想家、作家。《内在经验》（1943）是其代表作，也是阐释其思想缘起和方法的关键作品。与同时代法国知识分子一样，巴塔耶亲历两次大战，在幻灭中不断反思欧洲社会矛盾与启蒙传统。循着尼采的轨迹，巴塔耶试图从经验和直觉出发探讨精神主体如困兽般的处境及超越界限的可能，其思想核心仍是对笛卡尔式理性主义的批判，而写作风格是解构式的，借用冥想与诗，撕开层层意指，着力挖掘语言本身的潜在力量。巴塔耶将此书列为其“非神学”概要的第一部。“非神学”并非“反神学”，而是以类似宗教神秘主义的方式探寻一种无上帝的极限。“内在经验”将生命主体和认知客体在最炽热的状态中融合，在一种语言不能限定其界限的未知中，通过迷狂探索精神的极端状态（如在死亡、色情、极苦中所达到的状态，非语言或非逻辑所达到的交流）。

Part of a series that offers mainly linguistic and anthropological research and teaching/learning material on a region of great cultural and strategic interest and importance in the post-Soviet era.

Answering the call of the Second Vatican Council for moral theology to draw more fully on the teaching of Holy Scripture, the authors examine the virtues that both flow from the Scripture and provide a lens by which to interpret the Scripture. By remaining true to both the New Testament's emphasis on the human response to God's gracious activity in Jesus Christ and to the ethic...(展开全部)
