在中國現代化的進程中,西方哲學社會科學始終是最重要的思想資源。然而,一個令人遺憾的事實是,自19 世紀末20 世紀初“西學東漸”起,國人對於西學的瞭解,基本上是憑藉零星的翻譯和介紹,認真地去讀原著的人少之又少。這些中譯本,囿於譯者的眼光和水平,往往與原著齣入頗大。因此,國人談論西學的情景,很像是瞎子摸象,雖然各執一詞,卻皆不得要領。
當然,100年間,還是齣現瞭一批學貫中西的學者,但其中肯花工夫於譯業的太少。許多年積纍下來,我們在這個領域擁有的優質中譯本依然十分有限。而且,再好的譯本,畢竟與原著隔瞭一層。倘若我們的學術界始終主要依靠中譯本去瞭解和研究西學,我們的西學水平就永遠不能擺脫可憐的境況。
好在現在有瞭改變這種境況的條件。在當今全球化時代,隨著國門進一步開放,中外交流日漸增多,人們普遍重視英語學習,國人中尤其年輕人中具備閱讀英文原著能力的人越來越多瞭。在這種形勢下,本叢書應運而生。編輯者的計劃是,選擇西方哲學、人文學科、社會科學領域的最基本的英文經典原著,分批陸續齣版,為有誌者提供價廉的版本和閱讀的便利。我贊賞這樣的善舉,並且相信,這也是為學術界做的一件益事。

《世界名著典藏係列:道德情操論(英文全本)》是亞當·斯密的倫理學著作,他一生中共修訂過六次。斯密從人類的情感和同情心齣發,討論瞭善惡、美醜、正義、責任等一係列概念,進而揭示齣人類社會賴以維係、和諧發展的秘密。
在《世界名著典藏係列:道德情操論(英文全本)》中,斯密繼承瞭以《沉思錄》為代錶的斯多葛學派的道德哲學思想,把“內心平靜”而不是“物質享樂”看作人生幸福的重要標誌,將人性中利他和利己這兩種本性有機地結閤在一起,為之後齣版的《國富論》奠定瞭道德哲學的基礎。《道德情操論》相比《?富論》給西方世界帶來的影響更為深遠,它對於促進人類福利這一更大的社會目的起到瞭更為基本的作用,是市場經濟良性運行不可或缺的“聖經”,堪稱西方世界的《論語》。
Mankind, at the same time, have a very strong sense of the injuries that are done to another. The villain, in a tragedy or romance, is as much the object of our indignation, as the hero is that of our sympathy and affection.We detest Iago as much as we esteem Othello; and delight as much in the punishment of the one, as we are grieved at the distress of the other. But though mankind have so strong a fellow-feeling with the injuries that are done to their brethren, they do not always resent them the more that the sufferer appears to resent them. Upon most occasions, the greater his patience, his mildness, his humanity, provided it does not appear that he wants spirit, or that fear was the motive of his forbearance, the higher their resentment against the person who injured him. The amiableness of the character exasperates their sense of the atrocity of the injury. These passions, however, are regarded as necessary parts of the character of human nature. A person becomes contemptible who tamely sits still, and submits to insults, without attempting either to repel or to revenge them. We cannot enter into his indifference and insensibility. we call his behaviour mean-spiritedness, and are as really provoked by it as by the insolence of his adversary.Even the mob are enraged to see any man submit patiently to affronts and ill usage. They desire to see this insolence resented, and resented by the person who suffers from it. They cry to him with fury, to defend, or to revenge himself.If his indignation rouses at last, they heartily applaud, and sympathize with it. It enlivens their own indignation against his enemy, whom they rejoice to see him attack in his turn, and are as really gratified by his revenge, provided it is not immoderate, as if the injury had been done to themselves. But though the utility of those passions to the individual, by rendering it dangerous to insult or injure him, be acknow16dged; and though their utility to the public, as the guardians ofjustice, and of the equality of its adrrunistration, be not less considerable, as shall be shewn hereafter; yet there is still something disagreeable in the passions themselves, which makes the appearance of them in other men the natural object of our aversion. The expression of anger to- wards any body present, if it exteeds a bare intimation that we are sensible of his ill usage, is regarded not only as an insult to that particular person, but as a rudeness to the whole company. Respect for them ought to have restrained us from giving way to so boisterous and offensive an emotion. It is the remote effccts of these passions which are agre
好書 價格便宜 性價比超高
評分不錯的,物流超快。書還未及看
評分書很好,很滿意
評分身處急劇變革的市場經濟大潮中,每一個普通人都麵臨著貧富差距拉大,企業改革,股市非理性繁榮等各種各樣的問題,人們身處其中又常常感到被自私、虛榮、妒嫉、仇恨、貪婪和背信棄義等不道德的情感所包圍,因而更加嚮往感恩、大度、慷慨、正直、勤儉、自我剋製等人性的美德。而這些不道德和道德,以及衍生齣以上種種人類情感的“同情感”正是200多年前現代經濟學之父——亞當斯密在撰寫《國富論》之前,甚至在寫完《國富論》之後一直不厭其煩反復思考的焦點。
評分剛看到以為是中文呢,不錯,學術作品,杠杠地!
評分特彆好,物美價廉,質量沒得說,個人非常喜歡。謝謝!以後還會再買的,質量非常信得過。
