  What if the better man is the one who knows he’s doing wrong—and does it anyway? 
  In Hippias Minor, Plato stages one of his most paradoxical and unsettling dialogues. Socrates questions whether a person who lies intentionally is actually better than someone who lies out of ignorance. The result is a sharp philosophical exchange that challenges our most basic ideas of morality and virtue. 
  This modern translation keeps Plato’s wit and depth intact while making the argument accessible and compelling for today’s listener. 
  What you'll discover inside: 
  •	A Bold Ethical Challenge – Socrates questions whether intentional wrongdoing shows greater intellect 
  •	Plato’s Paradox on Virtue – Explore the tension between knowledge and morality 
  •	A Lively Clash Between Sophist and Philosopher – Homer, Achilles, and deception take center stage 
  •	A Contemporary Translation for Clear Insight – Ideal for readers exploring deep ethical questions 
  Can a knowing liar be morally superior to an honest fool? Discover the argument that still unsettles philosophers today.

  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。
  作者简介：
  汪昌松，北京理工大学外国语学院副教授，研究领域和方向为理论语言学、句法—形态/韵律/语义研究。发表论文多篇，主持完成多项基金课题研究项目。

  The Madness Of Reason...

  CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like that, they feel like a node separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates.

  A gripping and unflinching examination of one of the darkest chapters in modern history and the global forces that allowed it to unfold. 
  Between 1975 and 1979, Cambodia endured unimaginable horror under the Khmer Rouge regime, where nearly two million lives were lost to systematic brutality, starvation, and mass executions. But this is not just the story of a ruthless dictatorship; it is the story of how international powers, driven by Cold War rivalries and geopolitical interests, turned a blind eye and sometimes actively enabled the rise and reign of terror. 
  Drawing on newly uncovered documents, survivor testimonies, and incisive analysis, this book reveals the tangled web of political alliances, foreign interventions, and diplomatic failures that contributed to the genocide. From secret bombings and covert support to the paralysis of the United Nations, it exposes how global dynamics shaped Cambodia’s fate, allowing one of history’s greatest atrocities to remain hidden for decades. 
  The Cambodian Genocide challenges readers to confront uncomfortable truths about international responsibility, the cost of political indifference, and the enduring scars left on a nation. It is a vital, haunting reminder of how the world’s silence can become complicit in the darkest of crimes — and a call never to forget the lessons of history.

  Floating In A Most Peculiar Way...

  The astonishing journey of a bright, utterly displaced boy, from the short-lived African nation of Biafra, to Jamaica, to the harshest streets of Los Angeles—a searing memoir that adds fascinating depth to the coming-to-America storyThe first time Chude-Sokei realizes that he is “first son of the first son” of a renowned leader of the bygone African nation is in Uncle Daddy and Big Auntie’s strict religious household in Jamaica, where he lives with other abandoned children. A visiting African has just fallen to his knees to shake him by the shoulders: “Is this the boy? Is this him?”Chude-Sokei’s immersion in the politics of race and belonging across the landscape of the African diaspora takes a turn when his traumatized mother, who has her own extraordinary history as the onetime “Jackie O of Biafra,” finally sends for him to come live with her. In Inglewood, Los Angeles, on the eve of gangsta rap and the LA riots, it’s as if he’s fallen to Earth. In this world, anything alien—definitely Chude-Sokei’s secret obsession with science fiction and David Bowie—is a danger, and his yearning to become a Black American gets deeply, sometimes absurdly, complicated. Ultimately, it is a boisterous pan-African family of honorary aunts, uncles, and cousins that becomes his secret society, teaching him the redemptive skill of navigating not just Blackness, but Blacknesses, in his America.
