威尔基·柯林斯(Wilkie Collins)，于1824年1月8日生于伦敦，1889年9月23日死在伦敦。父亲是个风景画家。他12岁时随父母迁居意大利，三年后回国，就读于海伯里私立寄宿学校，曾在茶叶公司工作，后改学法律，在伦敦林肯法学协会当过律师。1847年，父亲死后，他才开始以写作为生。第一部作品是《威廉·柯林斯》传，不久就从事小说创作。一开始成绩平平，后来他结识了当代文豪狄更斯，成为莫逆之交，并为狄更斯主编的，当时最风行的杂志经常撰稿。他的长篇小说往往在这本杂志上先发表，然后出单行本。这期间他写了不少小说，大都以侦破犯罪事件为题材，柯林斯即以此种小说蜚声社会，享誉30余年，但他作品虽多，而得以流传后世并得到肯定的仅有《月亮宝石》和成名作《白衣女人》两部。

The greatest obstacle to rule of law in our time, contends the author of this thought-provoking work, is the problem of overlegislation. In modern democratic societies, legislative bodies are increasingly usurping functions that were and should be exercised by individuals or groups rather than government. The result is an unwieldy surfeit of laws and regulations that by their s...(展开全部)

Few other economists have been read and cited as much as R.H. Coase, a scholar who approached economics as a philosopher: with contemplation, careful scrutiny of real conditions and consideration of the practical implications of theory. "These essays bear rereading. Coase's careful attention to actual institutions not only offers deep insight into economics but also provides th...(展开全部)

Kramer in this lucid and wide-ranging study that introduces readers to vital areas of philosophical...(展开全部)

RA: 无限的东西不能是许多个，因为许多(many-ness)是一个有限的概念。要有无限，你必须辨识或定义无限为合一(Unity)；否则这个词汇就没有任何意义。在一个无限的造物者之中只有合一的存在。你们都看过合一的简单例子，一个三棱镜(prism)展现所有颜色来自于阳光这是关于合一的简化示范。 事实上，没有对或错，也没有极性，你们舞动着穿越心身灵复合体(complex)，你们此刻以不同的变貌娱乐自己，但一切终会在某个时点达成和谐。 这些变貌在任何情况下都不是必须的，而是由你们每一位所选择，做为另一种理解包罗万有的完整合一的方式。现在不是说一个类似或有点像的东西，你是一切事物，每一个存有，每一个表情，每一个事件，每一种情境，你是合一，你是无限。你是爱/光，光/爱。你是你本是。这就是一的法则。
