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)

"[Bachelard] is neither a self-confessed and tortured atheist like Satre, nor, like Chardin, a heretic combining a belief in God with a proficiency in modern science. But, within the French context, he is almost as important as they are because he has a pseudo-religious force, without taking a stand on religion. To define him as briefly as possible – he is a philosopher, with a...(展开全部)

The great philosopher's major work on ethics, along with ECCE HOMO, Nietzche's remarkable review of his life and works. Translated by Walter Kaufmann.

Nihilism is the logic of nothing as something, which claims that Nothing Is. Its unmaking of things, and its forming of formless things, strain the fundamental terms of existence: what it is to be, to know, to be known. But nihilism, the antithesis of God, is also like theology. Where nihilism creates nothingness, condenses it to substance, God also makes nothingness creative. ...(展开全部)

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)

Liberalism, Miguel de Beistegui argues in The Government of Desire, is best described as a technique of government directed towards the self, with desire as its central mechanism. Whether as economic interest, sexual drive, or the basic longing for recognition, desire is accepted as a core component of our modern self-identities, and something we ought to cultivate. But this h...(展开全部)

Revolutionary and innovative, Jacques Lacan's work lies at the epicenter of modern thought about otherness, subjectivity, sexual difference, the law, and enjoyment. This new translation of Lacan's yearlong deliberation on psychoanalysis and contemporary social order offers welcome, readable access to the brilliant author's seminal thinking on Freud, Marx, and Hegel; patterns o...(展开全部)

Friedrich Nietzsche is one of the most influential thinkers of the past 150 years and On the Genealogy of Morality (1887) is his most important work on ethics and politics. A polemical contribution to moral and political theory, it offers a critique of moral values and traces the historical evolution of concepts such as guilt, conscience, responsibility, law and justice. This i...(展开全部)

In recent years, emotions have become a major, vibrant topic of research not merely in the biological and psychological sciences but throughout a wide swath of the humanities and social sciences as well. Yet, surprisingly, there is still no consensus on their basic nature or workings. Ruth Leys’s brilliant, much anticipated history, therefore, is a story of controversy and dis...(展开全部)
