曾經為AV女星及「T 字褲皇后」的性感偶像飯島愛，因為出了一本告白自己赤裸裸過去的自傳《柏拉圖式性愛》，飯島愛坦率地公開自己，直言不誨地提出自己的想法及生活觀，讓日本女性更加憧憬她，希望自己能有一個轟轟烈烈的生活 (離家出走、吸毒、遭強暴、同居、墮胎、援助交際、整形、拍A片、不倫、自殺未遂...等) 。當然剛由「AV女優」竄紅的飯島愛，對於自己的過去、身世均一概不願多談，沒想到轉型成脫口秀藝人多年後，卻選在自己28歲生日的同時推出了這本告白書，將自己過去不可告人、曲折辛酸的經驗完全曝光。 小學時，飯島愛在學校個性內向，不敢表現自己；在家裡時，父親斯巴達式的教育總是嚴格的要求飯島愛的一舉一動，不管是拿筷子或姿勢，只要做錯了，就是一陣毒打。母親是傳統的女人，總是希望飯島愛成為一個成績好、禮儀端正的「理想小孩」，因而要求她補習，以「這都是為妳好」為理由要她...(展开全部)

幾何、數字、音樂和宇宙學是最古老的四門學問，它們是基本共通語言的基礎，且幾乎可以在每個已知文化中發現它們的蹤跡。《典雅的幾何》正是這四門學問的縮影，在談論二維形狀與三維立體的同時，也揭露出這些古老學問之間的關連。 三角形、拱形、六角形及螺旋形雖隨處可見，卻蘊含著極大的學問，從瓷磚、教堂窗戶到偉大的金字塔，這些建築設計高度展現了幾何之美。圓球是五種柏拉圖立體和十三種阿基米得立體的基礎，這十八種立體不僅構成建材形狀，也是化學和原子物理的核心。自古至今，這些立體賦予了任何對科學、設計和數學感興趣的人源源不絕的靈感！

The Archaeology of the Soul is a testimony to the extraordinary scope of Seth Benardete’s thought. Some essays concern particular authors or texts; others range more broadly and are thematic. Some deal explicitly with philosophy; others deal with epic, lyric, and tragic poetry. Some of these authors are Greek, some Roman, and still others are contemporaries writing about antiqu...(展开全部)

The “old logic” is...(展开全部)

这是施特劳斯的最后一部作品，由15篇论文、笔记和评论组成。其中只有很少一部分致力于柏拉图作品的研究或者涉及柏拉图的作品。但是，只要仔细阅读这些片段，并重温其中援引的施特劳斯的早前著作，就会发现，这里的每篇作品都是针对柏拉图式政治哲学的研究，都在实现这样一种哲学探索，都是这样一种哲学探索的典范。 目录
