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)

本书是美国著名经济学家 克鲁格曼 的最新力作。他在书中回顾了将近一个世纪的美国历史，从镀金年代的政治经济，直到布什年代的经济停滞。他认为，这是保守主义运动掌控美国政府的必然结果，婴儿潮时代美国中产阶级的成长则是受益于小 罗斯福 的新政。克鲁格曼指出，这两种方向的发展都非自然演进的结果，都是由组织化的政治运动所引导的，尤其是 20 世纪 70 年代以后不断加剧的两极分化和社会不公。他在书中深入地探讨了美国主张自由放任 资本主义 的 “ 保守主义运动 ” 对美国经济、社会和政治的不良影响，呼吁重新展开社会政策的公共辩论，主张政府应发挥好 维护社会稳定和社会公正的作用，同时警醒世人不要冷漠对待社会经济不平等议题，以致错失改革良机。 "The most consistent and courageo...(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)

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)
