关于作者 迈耶•夏皮罗 20世纪最具原创性的艺术史家之一。他的研究涵盖了古代晚期艺术、早期基督教艺术、中世纪艺术，以及他毕生最为关注的现代艺术。在他所执教的哥伦比亚大学曾有一句流行话：“假如西方文明被摧毁，迈耶可以在十天之内将它重建出来。”这位渊博深邃的艺术写作者对于一件事情深信不疑，那就是艺术的智性（the intelligence of art）：它有关于设计、运思、对艺术家主体能力的确认，对艺术创作中解决方案的探索，以及对最终决定了这些方案的主导与附属元素背后的权力和社会关系的剖析。总之，艺术绝非纯感觉之物，它是精神对物质的构型，是艺术家人格的表征，也是时代的症状。 +++++++++++ 关于译者 高薪 南京大学艺术学院艺术史论系副教授。研究领域为艺术史论与美学。代表作有《论图像装置性元素的指意潜能》《物的凝视：论审美静观的宗教性起源》等...(展开全部)

This should be our collective rationality, but we often see it conflicts with individual interests, which leads to the so-called "Prisoners’ Dilemma" and does not bring happiness to all. From a game theoretic...(展开全部)

Barnard's study of interaction between people in economic settings was contentious in that he concluded that human behaviour within these settings is largely non-economic and instead approaches ritualistic symbolism.
