  Liu Bang can be regarded as a master among emperors. For Li Shimin and Zhu Yuanzhang, who were also emperors, held him in high esteem. Liu Bang grew up in the marketplace. He was neither proficient in writing as a literati nor good at fighting as a warrior. However, under his leadership, he gradually defeated many prominent figures, overthrew Xiang Yu, and brought peace to the whole country. Later, through the hands of others, he got rid of Han Xin, eliminating potential threats. It was he who founded the great Han Empire that lasted for four hundred years. Both Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty and Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, who had planned and conquered the country, gave him extremely high praise. Even Mao Zedong commented that "Liu Bang was a brilliant statesman" and "a very formidable one among the feudal emperors".

  What Is It Like to Be a Bat?

  "Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable." So begins Thomas Nagel's classic 1974 essay "What is it Like to be a Bat?" Nagel's essay initiated the now widespread attention to consciousness as a central problem for philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience; it also influenced the recognition of the consciousness of nonhuman creatures as an important subject of study. Nagel argued that the essential subjectivity of conscious experience—what it is like for the creature undergoing it—means that reductionist theories of mind, which attempt to analyze it in physical terms, can never succeed. It follows that the physical sciences cannot provide a complete description of reality, and that the physical conception of objective reality must be transcended if science is going to comprehend the mind. 
   
   
   
  This edition reissues this classic and widely influential article on its fiftieth anniversary, along with a new preface discussing the origins and influence of the essay, as well as "Further Thoughts: The Psychophysical Nexus," a supplementary essay which describes Nagel's later thoughts about how to respond to the problem posed by "What Is It Like to Be a Bat?"

  Essay on the Principle of...

  Thomas Malthus

  Thomas Malthus, an English economist and cleric, published his influential work "An Essay on the Principle of Population" in 1798. The book introduced the idea that population growth would outstrip resources in the long run, leading to catastrophic consequences such as famine, disease, and war. 
  Malthus argued that population growth was exponential, while resources grew at a much slower arithmetic rate. This meant that over time, the population would inevitably outstrip the ability of the land to produce food, leading to a "positive check" on population growth in the form of famine, disease, or war. 
  Malthus also identified a "preventative check" on population growth, which he saw as the moral restraint of individuals to delay marriage and childbirth until they could support a family. However, he believed that this restraint would only be effective for the wealthy and educated classes, while the poor would continue to have large families out of necessity. 
  Malthus's ideas were controversial at the time, as they challenged the prevailing belief in progress and the idea that human ingenuity and technological advances could overcome any resource constraints. However, his ideas gained traction in the 19th century as Europe experienced a series of famines and population pressures, and his work influenced later economists such as David Ricardo and John Stuart Mill. 
  Critics of Malthus have argued that his predictions did not come to pass, as the world has experienced significant improvements in food production and living standards over the last two centuries. However, Malthus's ideas continue to influence debates on population growth, resource constraints, and environmental sustainability.
