哥德尔、艾舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成

[美]侯世达

简介 

Description 

《哥德尔、埃舍尔、巴赫：集异璧之大成》（Gödel, Esc-her, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid），是一本赢得普利策奖的书。本书的英文副标题意译为“一条永恒的金带”，本书主要讲述了逻辑学家哥德尔，艺术家埃舍尔，和作曲家巴赫的创造性的成就怎样交织在一起。正如作者所说：“我认识到，哥德尔、埃舍尔和巴赫只是用不同的方式来表达一样相同的本质。我尝试重现这种本质而写出这本书。”此书在深层次上并非研究这三个人。那只不过是通往该书中心主题的其中一条路——侯世达在序言指出：“到底文字和思想是否依从俱形式的规则？这正是此书的中心问题。”

"Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid"  is a book that won the Pulitzer Prize. The English subtitle of the book is paraphrased as "An Eternal Golden Belt". The book mainly tells how the creative achievements of the logician Gödel, the artist Escher, and the composer Bach are intertwined. As the author said: "I realized that Gödel, Escher, and Bach just expressed the same essence in different ways. I tried to reproduce this essence and wrote this book." This book does not study these three people at a deep level. That's just one of the ways to the central theme of the book-Hou Shida pointed out in the preface: "Whether words and thoughts follow the rules of formality? This is the central question of this book."

On Growth and Form

历史研究

[美国]阿诺尔德· J ·汤因比

简介 

Description 

在本书中，汤因比列举了世界历史上的二十余种存活或已经死亡的文明形态，并对它们的各自发展作了综合比较，他认为，文化是通过对环境的“挑战”的应战所遭受的考验而产生的；文化的生长是由那些“退隐”和“复出”的少数伟大人物的历史活动所决定的；文化的衰落来自于少数创造者丧失了创造能力，多数人相应地不再支持与模仿，整个社会失去了新的应战能力；文明的解体在于社会体系和灵魂的分裂。本书破除了西方中心论和单一历史线性发展的史观，在西方历史哲学著作中具有崇高的地位。

In this book, Toynbee lists more than 20 surviving or dead civilization forms in the history of the world, and makes a comprehensive comparison of their respective developments. He believes that culture is through the "challenge" to the environment. It is born out of the challenge of the challenge; the growth of culture is determined by the historical activities of a few great figures who “retire” and “return”; the decline of culture comes from the loss of creativity by a few creators, and most people respond accordingly No longer supporting and imitating, the entire society has lost its new ability to challenge; the disintegration of civilization lies in the division of the social system and soul. This book breaks away from the Western-centrism and the historical view of linear development of a single history, and has a lofty status in Western historical philosophy works.

落脚城市

[加拿大]道格·桑德斯

陈信宏 (译）

简介 

Description 

上一次人类大迁移，用一个多世纪的城市化，为欧洲和新大陆带来了法国大革命和工业革命，并直接造成了人类在思想、治理与科技领域的彻底变革。如今，世界各地的落脚城市正在创造历史。而对这种历史的冷漠，导致了巴黎、伦敦、阿姆斯特丹持续不断的暴动与骚乱；而在亚洲、非洲与南美洲，莽撞的贫民窟清除计划，正在摧毁数以万计人的生活与未来。

这个时代的历史，其实有一大部分是由漂泊的无根之人造就而成的。他们因为公民权遭到剥夺，于是采取极端乃至暴力的手段，以求在都市体制中取得一席之地。落脚城市，可能是下一波经济与文化盛世的诞生地，也可能是下一波重大暴力冲突的爆发地。究竟走上哪条路，则完全取决于我们自己。 

The last great migration of mankind, with more than a century of urbanization, brought the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution to Europe and the New World, and directly caused a thorough change in human thinking, governance, and science and technology. Today, the settlement cities around the world are making history. This indifference to history has led to continuous riots and riots in Paris, London, and Amsterdam. In Asia, Africa and South America, reckless slum clearance plans are destroy-ing the lives and future of tens of thousands of people.

In fact, a large part of the history of this era was created by wandering rootless people. Because they were deprived of their citizenship rights, they resorted to extreme and violent methods in order to gain a place in the urban system. The city where you live may be the birthplace of the next wave of economic and cultural prosperity, or it may be the place where the next wave of major violent conflicts will erupt. Which path we take is entirely up to us. 

推荐理由

Reason for Recommendation

关于城市困境背后的另一个独特的视角，从乡村到城市，全球三分之一的人口正在进行最后的大迁移。书中列举了世界上的各种落脚城市案例以及他们的兴衰。作为一个城市建设的参与者，如何面对这样的“过渡性"区域以及城市中的更多现象，我们很需要从这样的视角和维度来不断审视自己的工作。

Regarding another unique perspective behind the urban dilemma, from rural to urban, one-third of the world's population is undergoing the final great migration. The book lists various cases of settled cities in the world and their rise and fall. As a participant in urban construction, how to face such "transitional" areas and more phenomena in the city, we need to constantly examine our work from such a perspective and dimension.
