1788THE CRITIQUE OF PRACTICAL REASONby Immanuel Kanttranslated by Thomas Kingsmill AbbottPREFACEThis work is called the Critique of Practical Reason, not of the pure practical reason, although its parallelism with the speculative critique would seem to require the latter term. The reason of this appears sufficiently from the treatise itself. Its business is to show that there is pure practical reason, and for this purpose it criticizes the entire practical faculty of reason. If it succeeds in t
第十七章 有檄征回朝 京兆治狡狞 一 长安廷尉府。廷尉严延年正在翻看豫章郡递送的案卷记录,他从几案上抬起头来,脸上看不出阴晴。这是严延年的特点,他的喜怒掾属们一向难以猜测,从当年任河南太守以来一直如此。这也是他做官几十年来得出的经验,让掾属无法捉摸,才有意想不到的威严,才不会受他们欺诈。他身边坐着廷尉监邴吉。严延年饮了一口水,问道,豫章郡的上奏文书,邴君有什么看法? 邴吉是个很谨慎小心的人,曾官居中二千石,列为九卿,后因细事免官,复应廷尉府的辟除,为廷尉监。但是他没有半点心理不平衡,在严延年面前恭谨有礼。严延年内心也对他比较敬重。他听到询问,赶忙小心地答道,一切有廷尉大人明断,下吏见识浅陋,不足以上污清听。...
The Path of the Lawby O. W. Holmes, Jr.10 Harvard Law Review 457 (1897)When we study law we are not studying a mystery but a well-knownprofession. We are studying what we shall want in order to appearbefore judges, or to advise people in such a way as to keep them out ofcourt. The reason why it is a profession, why people will pay lawyersto argue for them or to advise them, is that in societies like ours thecommand of the public force is intrusted to the judges in certain cases,...
YOUNG GOODMAN BROWNYoung Goodman Brown came forth at sunset into the street at Salemvillage; but put his head back, after crossing the threshold, toexchange a parting kiss with his young wife. And Faith, as thewife was aptly named, thrust her own pretty head into the street,letting the wind play with the pink ribbons of her cap while shecalled to Goodman Brown."Dearest heart," whispered she, softly and rather sadly, when herlips were close to his ear, "prithee put off your journey until...
《太空烽火》作者:[美]斯蒂文·莱哈德第一章沉在半透明的绿色浴缸底部的人多半已经死了。他静静地躺在缸底,睁着眼睛,面色安详,还在飘动着的黑色的头发在水底荡漾开来,像一圈黑色的涟漪。翡翠色的灯光为他洒下了一层圣洁的光环。突然,一个小小的气泡从他的鼻孔里冒了出来,气泡越来越大,最后终于挣扎着浮出了水面。接着,又是一个更大的气泡冲出了浴缸的水面,飘了一会儿便爆裂开来。气泡喷泉一样地涌了出来,水面上沸腾了,接着奇迹出现了。在水面的中央,和气泡同时浮出水面的是奥林·托勒的头。他长长地吐出一口气后,便像在海底沉睡了多年的巨鲸一般,贪婪地呼吸着新鲜的空气。两只宽厚的手伸出了水面,把深色眼睛周围的水珠拨掉,接着把如丝般的头发上的水珠甩去。托勒从洁白的大理石浴缸里摸出一只手表,凑到自己的脸前。“六分钟!”他喜出望外地大叫了起来,“又是一个新记录。”...

敢吃的中国人中国人有四大菜系八大风味。川菜、粤菜、湘菜、齐鲁菜、淮扬菜、东北菜乃至上海本邦菜……仿佛实行军阀割据似的。但在我眼中,这更像在划分艺术流派。出自圣人之乡的齐鲁菜,称得上古典主义。缠绵悱恻的淮扬菜,属于浪漫主义。假如说辛辣的湘菜是批判现实主义,麻辣的川菜则算魔幻现实主义了———一粒花椒,有时比炮弹还厉害,充分地调动起我们舌头的想像力。当然,也可以用别的方法换算:上海菜属于杨柳岸晓风残月的婉约派,东北菜则相当于大江东去、浪淘尽千古风流人物的豪放派……文化味精(1)中国人吃饭,吃的是概念。或者用一种通俗的说法:吃的是文化。这使饮食问题带有了社会性(甚至艺术性),而不再仅仅是一项形而下的生理活动。...
银河帝国正在崩溃瓦解之中。这是一个庞大的帝国,疆域涵盖整个银河系。从银河巨大螺旋臂的某一端至另一端,其间所包含的数百万个世界,皆为帝国的势力范围。因而帝国的没落衰亡,也是一个巨大而漫长的历史过程。当崩溃无声无息地延续了数个世纪之后,才终于有人察觉到了这个事实。这个人就是哈里·谢顿,他代表了在整体式微的文化中,唯一闪出的一点创造性火花。在谢顿的手中,心理史学这门科学发展到了出神入化、登峰造极的境界。心理史学的研究对象并非个人,而是人类所构成的群体。也就是说,它是研究群众——至少数十亿之众的科学。它可以预测群众对于某些刺激的反应,其精确度绝不逊于物理学对于撞球反弹轨迹的预测,但其博大精深犹有过之。虽然直到目前为止,还没有数学能够预测个人的任何行为,然而对于数十亿人口的集体反应,心理史学却能精确地掌握其中的动向。...
