Summary

In "The History of England: From Charles I. to Cromwell," David Hume presents a meticulously crafted narrative that explores the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, offering profound insights into the political and social upheaval between the reign of Charles I and the rise of Oliver Cromwell. Hume employs a unique blend of empirical observation and philosophical inquiry, showcasing his signature Enlightenment style characterized by clarity, rationality, and skepticism. This work is not merely a chronological account; it examines the motivations of key figures, the complexities of governance, and the broader implications of civil discord within the context of the evolving British political landscape. David Hume, a prominent philosopher and historian, was profoundly influenced by the political upheaval and shifting ideologies of his time. His engagement with empiricism and human nature is evident in this historical account, as he seeks to understand the underlying forces driving human behavior and governance. Hume'Äôs scholarly background and keen interest in moral philosophy shaped his approach, fostering a narrative that blends rigorous scholarship with accessible prose. This book is a vital read for anyone interested in English history, political philosophy, or the interplay between individual agency and collective action. Hume'Äôs ability to masterfully weave together historical events with philosophical insights offers readers a deeper understanding of the complexities of power and society, making it an essential addition to the libraries of historians and general readers alike.

    Egyptian civilization, one of the oldest in human history, made extraordinary contributions to various fields of knowledge, particularly science and mathematics. These innovations, which spanned thousands of years, helped shape the development of ancient society and continue to influence modern science and mathematics. In ancient Egypt, knowledge was not merely a tool for survival but an integral part of their spiritual and practical lives. From monumental structures like the pyramids to advancements in medicine and astronomy, Egyptian science and mathematics were not just theoretical pursuits; they were embedded in the daily lives of the people and their understanding of the world around them. 
The ancient Egyptians developed a deep understanding of the natural world, building complex systems of mathematics and science that were essential for both practical and religious purposes. The sciences of astronomy, engineering, and medicine, along with an elaborate system of mathematics, formed the backbone of their civilization. These scientific endeavors were often linked to the Egyptians' strong religious beliefs, which saw the cosmos, time, and the earth as interconnected and governed by divine forces. This understanding led to the creation of highly sophisticated technologies and systems, such as the construction of the pyramids, the development of early medicine, and the creation of accurate calendars for agricultural and religious purposes.

    内容简介：
本书从句法与形态接口视角主要探讨现代汉语中三个与"得"相关的结构，即带"得"的可能补语句、结果补语句和状态补语句，并对这三类结构做出一个较为统一的考察。研究发现，带"得"的可能补语句、结果补语句及状态补语句受制于很多共同的限制，如该类结构中的动词都不能受方式状语修饰，该类结构都不能使用肯定的命令式等。本研究不仅可以找出某些带"得"的状态补语句与某些带"得"的可能补语句（或结果补语句）之间存在歧义的根源，还可以揭示与"得"相关的这几类句型之间的内部联系及其背后隐藏的普遍语法规律。

  • When God Became White - Dismantling Whiteness for a More Just Christianity - cover

    When God Became White -...

    When Western Christians think about God, the default image that comes to mind is usually white and male. How did that happen? 
 
 
 
Christianity is rooted in the ancient Near East among people of darker skin. But over time, European Christians cast Jesus in their own image, with art that imagined a fair-skinned Savior in the style of imperial rulers. Grace Ji-Sun Kim explores the historical origins and theological implications of how Jesus became white and God became a white male. The myth of the white male God has had a devastating effect as it enabled Christianity to have a profoundly colonialist posture across the globe. Kim examines the roots of the distortion, its harmful impact on the world, and shows what it looks like to recover the biblical reality of a nonwhite, nongendered God. Rediscovering God as Spirit leads us to a more just faith and a better church and world.
