1863UTILITARIANISMby John Stuart MillChapter 1General Remarks.THERE ARE few circumstances among those which make up the present condition of human knowledge, more unlike what might have been expected, or more significant of the backward state in which speculation on the most important subjects still lingers, than the little progress which has been made in the decision of the controversy respecting the criterion of right and wrong. From the dawn of philosoph
访《映城志》和《恋城志》的作者语安序烟火 一个朋友从巴黎回来,说起在那里看烟火的情形。或许是烟火太过壮观,而显得夜空特别地低。等到烟火散尽,留在眼底的只有几点火星。他说,那一刻就觉得宇宙是地球深夜的一场烟火,忽然就理解到原来卡拉克斯是真的,《新桥恋人》是真的—那就是巴黎。读完《映城志》,心底也蓦然生出幻象—电影和文字就是梆梆的烟火。 初看《映城志》时,出乎我的意料—一本讲“电影与城市”的书,竟然没有想像中能见到的街道和人潮汹涌,没有高楼和灯火辉煌,没有车水马龙,也没有十里洋场。梆梆笑言她没有去过这之中的多数城市,那些具象、建筑或者人群对于她而言是看不到的。她写的,只是她在电影中看见的城市—“私有爱的城市”、“蓝调共和的城市”、“怀旧的城市”、“不溶解性的城市”,甚至“鬼之后的城市”、“一头猪的城市”等等。 她写了某个地方的某些电影、某些电影人、某些电影精神...
RECALLED TO LIFECHAPTER IThe PeriodIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other wayin short, the period was so. far like the presen

最近朋友聊天时,总会不经意间将话题引至冯小刚的贺岁片《手机》。的确,《手机》在像手雷一样将岁末票房激起巨浪的同时,也引发了很多家庭危机和道德讨论,现在人们几乎是谈“机”色变。男人花心,男人多情,原本不是什么新鲜话题,不过衣冠楚楚、道貌岸然的男士依然受到众人的爱戴,受到众多美女的青睐,值得人们怀疑的是他们华丽背后的真面目是什么。《手机》中的严守一和老墨似乎就是这样的男人,头顶四射的光芒,集众多宠爱和仰慕于一身,但背地里却散发出糜烂的气息。这些男人,大都是些“好色之徒”。吃着碗里,还瞅着锅里的。而影片中的手机更是使得严守一们可以在妻子、情人、女友之间圆谎,还可以与志趣相投的哥儿们老墨互通一气,形成互助联盟的幌子。手机成了男人一个很好的撒谎道具,是他们用来周旋感情保护自己的武器。...
My Memories of Eighty Yearsby Chauncey M. DepewTO MY WIFE MAY PALMER DEPEW THIS BOOK GREW FROM HER ENCOURAGEMENTFOREWORDFor many years my friends have insisted upon my putting in permanent form the incidents in my life which have interested them. It has been my good fortune to take part in history-making meetings and to know more or less intimately people prominent in world affairs in many countries. Every one so situated has a flood of recollections which pour out when occasion stirs the mem
IN A FAR COUNTRY.WHEN A MAN JOURNEYS into a far country, he must be prepared toforget many of the things he has learned, and to acquire suchcustoms as are inherent with existence in the new land; he mustabandon the old ideals and the old gods, and oftentimes he mustreverse the very codes by which his conduct has hitherto beenshaped. To those who have the protean faculty of adaptability, thenovelty of such change may even be a source of pleasure; but to...
代序在相当长的时间内,我和许多管理界人士、学者、独立培训师和学生进行探讨切磋,我们争论的焦点是:作为一个企业管理人士,他最需要的知识是什么?是深奥的管理理论著作还是实战的指南?是尽量的广博,还是针对某一领域深入的了解?作为一个企业的领导而言,在这个信息爆炸的时代,不可能将所有管理理论吸收消化。我常常跟我的学生讲,做管理不能做广泛涉猎却泛泛无为的“一”字型人才;也不能做只在某一个领域死钻牛角的“1”字型人才,而要深度结合广度,做“T”字型甚或“П”型人才。随着知识经济的到来,企业管理者的领导力越来越摆在了重要的地位,有力的领导是组织成长、变革和再生最重要的关键因素之一。无论你的企业采用了什么样的管理模型、框架、体系,领导力都是推动他们的基本动力。...
艾里希·弗罗姆不了解任何事物的人,不会爱任何事物。不能做任何事的人就不能够理解任何事。不能理解任何事的人也就百无一用。但是能理解的人也能爱,能注意,能看见……一件事物所含有的知识越多,爱也就越多……任何想像着所有水果会跟草莓在同一时间成熟的人,都对葡萄的情况一无所知。帕拉塞萨斯(Paracelsus,1493-1514)德国医学家第一章爱是一门艺术吗?爱是一门艺术吗?如果爱是一门艺术,那就要求人们有这方面的知识并付出相应的努力。或者,如果爱仅仅是一种令人心神荡漾的情感,体验爱全靠偶然并且只有幸运儿才能“坠入”爱的情网呢?我们的这本小书是立基于前一种假设的;而大多数人毫无疑问是相信第二种假设的。...

On Books and the Housing of Themby William Ewart GladstoneIn the old age of his intellect (which atthis point seemed to taste a little ofdecrepitude), Strauss declared [1] that the doctrine ofimmortality has recently lost the assistanceof a passable argument, inasmuch as it hasbeen discovered that the stars are inhabited;for where, he asks, could room now be foundfor such a multitude of souls? Again, in viewof the current estimates of prospective...
