　　在中國現代化的進程中，西方哲學社會科學始終是最重要的思想資源。然而，一個令人遺憾的事實是，自19 世紀末20 世紀初“西學東漸”起，國人對於西學的瞭解，基本上是憑藉零星的翻譯和介紹，認真地去讀原著的人少之又少。這些中譯本，囿於譯者的眼光和水平，往往與原著齣入頗大。因此，國人談論西學的情景，很像是瞎子摸象，雖然各執一詞，卻皆不得要領。
　　當然，100年間，還是齣現瞭一批學貫中西的學者，但其中肯花工夫於譯業的太少。許多年積纍下來，我們在這個領域擁有的優質中譯本依然十分有限。而且，再好的譯本，畢竟與原著隔瞭一層。倘若我們的學術界始終主要依靠中譯本去瞭解和研究西學，我們的西學水平就永遠不能擺脫可憐的境況。
　　好在現在有瞭改變這種境況的條件。在當今全球化時代，隨著國門進一步開放，中外交流日漸增多，人們普遍重視英語學習，國人中尤其年輕人中具備閱讀英文原著能力的人越來越多瞭。在這種形勢下，本叢書應運而生。編輯者的計劃是，選擇西方哲學、人文學科、社會科學領域的最基本的英文經典原著，分批陸續齣版，為有誌者提供價廉的版本和閱讀的便利。我贊賞這樣的善舉，並且相信，這也是為學術界做的一件益事。

內容簡介

　　奧古斯丁生活在羅馬帝國走嚮衰落的年代，是當時最偉大的神學傢。他的著作在整個中世紀對基督教學說和觀點産生瞭深刻的影響，事實上他的影響至今仍然存在。《上帝之城》是他最著名、最有影響的兩部著作之一，在書中，他通過對羅馬史的評論告訴世人羅馬的毀滅是咎由自取，與基督教無關，並對上帝的創造和人類的起源、發展、結局進行瞭闡述，歌頌上帝的偉大創造與救贖計劃。

精彩書摘

　　2.2 Recapitulation of the Contents of the First Book.
　　In the foregoing book, having begun to speak of the city of God, to which I have resolved, Heaven helping me, to consecrate the whole of this work, it was my first endeavor to reply to those who attribute the wars by which the world is being devastated, and especially the recent sack of Rome by the barbarians,to the religion of Christ, which prohibits the offering of abominable sacrifices to devils. I have shown that they ought rather to attribute it to Christ, that for His name's sake the barbarians, in contravention of all custom and law of war,threw open as sanctuaries the largest churches, and in many instances showed such reverence to Christ, that not only His genuine servants, but even those who in their terror feigned themselves to be so, were exempted from all those hardships which by the custom of war may lawfully be inflicted. Then out of this there arose the question, why wicked and ungrateful men were permitted to share in these benefits; and why, too, the hardships and calamities of war were inflicted on the godly as well as on the ungodly. And in giving a suitably full answer to this large question, I occupied some considerable space, partly that I might relieve the anxieties which disturb many when they observe that the blessings of God, and the common and daily human casualties, fall to the lot of bad men and good without distinction; but mainly that I might nunister some consolation to those holy and chaste women who were outraged by the enemy, in such a way as to shock their modesty, though not to sully their purity, and that I might preserve them from being ashamed of life, though they have no guilt to be ashamed of. And then I briefly spoke against those who with a most shameless wantonness insult over those poor Christians who were subjected to those calamities, and especially over those broken-hearted and humiliated, though chaste and holy women; these fellows themselves being most depraved and unmanly profiigates, quite degenerate from the genuine Romans, whose famous deeds are abundantly recorded in history, and everywhere celebrated, but who have found in their descendants the greatest enemies of their glory. In truth, Rome, which was founded and increased by the labors of these ancient heroes, was more shamefully ruined by their descendants, while its walls were still standing, than it is now by the razing of them. For in this ruin there fell stones and timbers; but in the ruin those profligates effected, there fell, not the mural, but the moral bulwarks and ornaments of the city, and their hearts burned with passions more destructive than the flames which consumed their houses. Thus I brought my first book to a close. And now I go on to speak of those calamities which that city itself, or its subject provinces, have suffered since its foundation; all of which they would equally have attributed to the Christian religion, if at that early period the doctrine of the gospel against their false and deceiving gods had been as largely and freely proclaimed as now.
　　2.3 That We Need Only to Read History in Order to See What Calamities the Romans SufIFered Before the Religion of Christ Began to Compete with the Worship of the Gods.
　　But remember that, in recounting these things, I have still to address myself to ignorant men; so ignorant, indeed, as to give birth to the common saying, "Drought and Christianity go hand in hand." There are indeed some among them who are thoroughly well-educated men, and have a taste for history, in which the things I speak of are open to their observation; but in order to irritate the uneducated masses against us, they feign ignorance of these events, and do what they can to make the vulgar believe that those disasters, which in certain places and at certain times uniformly befall mankind, are the result of Christianity, which is being everywhere diffused, and is possessed of a renown and brilliancy which quite eclipse their own gods. Let them then, along with us, call to mind with what various and repeated disasters the prosperity of Rome was blighted, before ever Christ had come in the flesh, and before His name had been blazoned among the nations with that glory which they vainly grudge. Let them, if they can, defend their gods in this article, since they maintain that they worship them in order to be preserved from these disasters, which they now impute to us if they suffer in the least degree. For why did these gods permit the disasters I am to speak of to fall on their worshippers before the preaching of Christ's name offended them, and put an end to their sacrifices?
　　2.4 That the Worshippers of the Gods Never Received from Them Any Healthy Moral Precepts, and that in Celebrating Their Worship All Sorts oflmpurities Were Practiced.
　　First of all, we would ask why their gods took no steps to improve the morals of their worshippers. That the true God should neglect those who did not seek His help, that was but justice; but why did those gods, from whose worship ungrateful men are now complaining that they are prohibited, issue no laws which might have guided their devotees to a virtuous life? Surely it was but just, that such care as men showed to the worship of the gods, the gods on their part should have to the conduct of men. But, it is replied, it is by his own will a man goes astray. Who denies it? But none the less was it incumbent on these gods, who were men's guardians, to publish in plain terms the laws of a good life, and not to conceal them from their worshippers. It was their part to send prophets to reach and convict such as broke these laws, and publicly to
　　proclaim the punishments which await evil-doers, and the rewards which may be looked for by those that do well. Did ever the walls of any of their temples echo to any such warning voice? I myself, when I was a young man, used sometimes to go to the sacrilegious entertainments and spectacles; I saw the priests raving in religious excitement, and heard the choristers; I took pleasure in the shameful games which were celebrated in honor of gods and goddesses, of the virgin Coelestis, and Berecynthia, the mother of all the gods. And on the holy day consecrated to her purification, there were sung before her couch productions so obscene and filthy for the early do not say of the mother of the gods, but of the mother of any senator or honest man-nay, so impure, that not even the mother of the foul-mouthed players themselves could have formed one of the audience. For natural reverence for parents is a bond which the most abandoned cannot ignore. And, accordingly, the lewd actions and filthy words with which these players honored the mother of the gods, in presence of a vast assemblage and audience of both sexes, they could not for very shame have rehearsed at home in presence of their own mothers. And the crowds that were gathered from all quarters by curiosity, offended modesty must, I should suppose, have scattered in the confusion of shame. If these are sacred rites, what is sacrilege? If this is purification, what is pollution? This festivity was called the Tables, as if a banquet were being given at which unclean devils might find suitable refreshment. For it is not difficult to see what kind of spirits they must be who are delighted with such obscenities, unless, indeed, a man be blinded by these evil spirits passing themselves off under the name of gods, and either disbelieves in their existence, or leads such a life as prompts him rather to propitiate and fear them than the true God.

前言/序言

世界名著典藏係列：文學巨匠的瑰麗畫捲 本叢書匯集瞭世界文學史上不朽的經典之作，精選那些跨越時代、地域和文化的偉大作品，旨在為讀者呈現一場全景式的文學盛宴。每一部作品都以其深刻的思想內涵、卓越的藝術成就和永恒的魅力，被公認為人類文明的瑰寶。我們精心挑選的這些名著，不僅是文學史上的裏程碑，更是理解人類心靈、社會變遷和曆史進程的鑰匙。 本係列收錄的作品涵蓋瞭史詩般的敘事、細膩的心理刻畫、尖銳的社會批判以及對人類終極命題的哲學探討。從古希臘的悲劇精神到文藝復興的人文光輝，從啓濛運動的理性思辨到浪漫主義的激情澎湃，再到現實主義對社會百態的精準描摹，直至現代主義和後現代主義對語言和存在的解構與重塑，本叢書力求展現世界文學流派的演變脈絡與高峰成就。 經典篇章巡禮 本典藏係列著重呈現那些定義瞭一個時代或開創瞭一種文學傳統的偉大作品。我們精選的作品在各自的領域內都達到瞭極高的水準： 一、史詩與古代敘事：文明的源頭 我們收錄瞭奠定西方敘事文學基礎的宏大史詩。這些作品不僅是文學的源頭，更是西方文明精神的基石。它們以磅礴的氣勢和豐富的象徵意義，描繪瞭英雄的誕生、神祇的乾預以及人類命運的掙紮。閱讀這些篇章，如同迴溯至人類集體記憶的起點，感受原始而強大的文化力量。它們探討的主題——榮譽、復仇、宿命與自由——至今仍振聾發聵。 二、中世紀與文藝復興的曙光 這一時期的作品展現瞭人類從神權束縛中逐步解放、重新關注人自身價值的偉大轉型。我們精選的作品，有的以其復雜的人物群像和對道德睏境的深刻洞察，揭示瞭中世紀晚期社會結構的張力；有的則以人文主義的視角，歌頌瞭人性的光輝、智慧的覺醒以及對知識無盡的渴求。這些作品標誌著個體意識的覺醒，為近代小說的誕生鋪平瞭道路。 三、現實主義的巨著：社會風貌的百科全書 本係列重點推介十九世紀的現實主義巔峰之作。這些小說以其百科全書式的廣度和深度，細緻入微地描繪瞭工業革命後社會結構的劇變、階級矛盾的激化以及普通人在曆史洪流中的命運起伏。作傢們如同冷峻的觀察傢，以冷靜、客觀的筆觸，解剖瞭金錢、權力、愛情和野心對個體精神的腐蝕與重塑。從沙皇俄國廣袤的土地到英法都市的霓虹深處，這些作品提供瞭理解特定曆史時期社會心理的精準切片。人物的復雜性、情節的真實感和主題的深刻性，使得這些作品成為後世研究社會史和文學史的寶貴財富。 四、浪漫主義的激情與反思 穿插於現實主義浪潮中的，是那些充滿激情、想象力與對自由無上嚮往的浪漫主義傑作。它們贊美自然偉力，歌頌個體情感的極緻體驗，並對僵化的社會規範發起挑戰。這些作品往往帶著強烈的抒情色彩和對“崇高”的追求，帶領讀者進入一個充滿異域風情、古老傳說與內心激情的精神世界。它們提醒我們，理性固然重要，但激情與夢想同樣是構成人性的關鍵要素。 五、現代主義的探索：意識流與內心世界的深潛 進入二十世紀，文學迎來瞭巨大的範式轉移。本係列收錄瞭那些勇敢地衝破傳統敘事界限的現代主義巨匠的作品。作傢們放棄瞭綫性的時間結構和全知的敘述者，轉而深入挖掘人類潛意識的復雜迷宮。通過意識流、多重視角和破碎的敘事手法，他們捕捉到瞭現代都市生活中個體精神的分裂、意義的消解以及記憶的非綫性本質。這些作品對語言本身進行瞭大膽的實驗，要求讀者以更積極、更具參與性的方式來建構意義。它們不僅是小說的革新，更是對現代人存在狀態的深刻診斷。 典藏的價值與閱讀體驗 本叢書的編輯理念在於提供最高品質的閱讀體驗。我們堅持采用權威的譯本，確保譯文既忠實於原著的文學風格和思想內涵，又符閤當代讀者的閱讀習慣。排版設計典雅大氣，力求在視覺上匹配這些作品的精神高度。 閱讀本係列，不僅僅是消遣或獲取知識，更是一種精神上的洗禮與對話。它提供瞭一個廣闊的平颱，讓讀者得以審視人類共同的情感體驗——愛、失落、背叛、追求——並藉由不同文化背景下的敘事視角，深化對自身處境的理解。這些名著的魅力在於其恒久性：它們在不同的人生階段被閱讀，總能帶來新的感悟，因為它們觸及的是人類經驗中最本質、最深邃的層麵。它們是永不褪色的思想火炬，照亮著我們前行的道路。 本叢書的齣版，旨在構建一個高質量的文學殿堂，讓這些跨越時空的人類智慧結晶得以代代相傳，滋養更多熱愛文學、珍視思想的讀者。
