  For over two thousand years, this books has been the foundation of Chinese family life. Based on a series of conversations with Confucius, and supplemented by a series of story examples by an Emperor in the 11th Century, it is essential to understanding the nature and order of Chinese society. It speaks of how one should behave towards a senior such as one’s parents, elder brother or ruler, and the obligations that follow in the opposite direction. Written in 400BC, the Xiaojang is legendarily a dialogue between Confucius and Zeng Zi, a disciple who was well known for his filial piety.Since that time, it has been an essential tool of Chinese civilisation, often being the first book that Chinese children are given when they are able to read it. For Confucius and his disciples, family life is the foundation and cornerstone of society, and recognising the value and impact of family harmony on both the local and greater environments is crucial to stability and prosperity.SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESSThe Athenaeum.--"We wish that there were more of them; they are dreamy, lifelike, and fascinating."Pall Mall Gazette.--"No translation of this important work has been made since the beginning of the eighteenth century."Manchester Courier.--"Worthy of close study by all who would penetrate to the depth of Eastern thought and feeling."The Scotsman.--" should not fail to please readers of the more studious sort."Southport Guardian.--"will find considerable favour with all Students of Eastern Literature and Eastern Philosophy."Bristol Mercury.--"We commend these little books to all who imagine that there is no knowledge worth having outside Europe and America."Field.--"Such books are valuable aids to the understanding of a far-off age and people, and have a great interest for the student of literature."

  An urgent examination of the world barreling toward a new Cold War. 
   
   
   
  With a historian's eye and a theorist's ingenuity, Michael Doyle, whose writings on liberal peace have revolutionized modern statesmanship, cogently assesses the tectonic shifts threatening a global order that has held for more than seventy years. As tensions among China, Russia, and the US escalate perilously toward a new Cold War, Doyle introduces a radical paradigm that will facilitate the international cooperation necessary to avert the global threats of our time. 
   
   
   
  Combining dramatic history with trenchant analysis and landmark theory, Doyle explores the impacts of cyberwarfare, foreign election meddling, and the unprecedented schism of modern politics on American foreign policy. He demonstrates that there can be no success in addressing climate change without China's cooperation, nor any hope of averting nuclear catastrophe without Russia's. 
   
   
   
  In the tradition of Gaddis's The Cold War and Clark's The Sleepwalkers, Cold Peace provides one of the most necessary analyses of global power in decades.

  Philosophy of Knowledge and...

  This book contains these two titles: 
  - Philosophy of Language: Language plays a fundamental role in human life, functioning not only as a means of communication but as a structure that shapes the way we think, perceive, and understand the world. The philosophy of language seeks to unravel the complex relationships between words, meanings, and reality, exploring how language functions, how it conveys meaning, and how it relates to the world and our experiences. This chapter serves as an introduction to these foundational issues and provides an overview of the central questions and debates within the philosophy of language. 
  - Pragmatism:  Pragmatism is a philosophy that emphasizes the practical application of ideas by focusing on their consequences and real-world outcomes. Rooted in the belief that thought should be guided by experience, pragmatism challenges the notion of abstract, detached theorizing. Rather than searching for eternal truths or fixed principles, pragmatists argue that the value of ideas is measured by their usefulness in addressing human needs and solving practical problems. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between philosophy and everyday life, transforming ideas into action.
