曾經有人話過,宇宙無論多大,大不過人的腦袋,因為人一死,宇宙於他便隨之幻滅。咁又係!留有用之身,才可改變世界。那麼,我們由看書開始。今期「書店快樂」新上架:

德國思想家康德在哲學與科學領域奠下多個重要基石。牟宗三經典力作《現象與物自身》,以中國傳統哲學詮釋評斷兩個與書同名的康德哲學概念。科學方面,康德提出關於太陽系起源的星雲假說,超越時代,啟發不少後來者,也許包括霍金。科普作品 Black Holes And Baby Universes And Other Essays,不但有霍金探討黑洞成因及與其他宇宙的關係,還有對人生和社會的分享。
.
英倫才子艾倫‧狄波頓編著的《人生問題的有益答案》,從哲學、心理學、藝術文學等選取最切合此刻的實用哲思,以慧黠幽默的方式呈現,讓我們坦然面對難題與傷痛。另一位英倫猛人是行動派米高.諾頓 ,他於1975年起以改善社會為任,在全球創立多個不同類型非牟利組織及社企。一般人未必有諾頓的魄力,但他在著作365 Ways To Change the World 提出的主意,人人都可在日常生活付諸行動,逐步讓世界變得更美好。

熱血小說《強風吹拂》同名動畫最近登陸香港電視台。十名怪咖挑戰日本最古老、難度最高的長跑接力賽「箱根驛傳」。他們最終發現,長跑不是速度的比併。人生,也一樣。正能量在香港這邊,有八十後陳塵漫畫故事集《Dustykid 塵話過2》,為身處困局的人帶來喘息空間。

人文主義文學大師房龍作品《發現地球的故事》,被譽為永不過時。他以「人」為焦點述說地理與歷史,配以輕巧俏皮的文字與插圖,唔止大人,細路都啱睇。此外尚有社會觀察家大前研一的《低欲望社會》、師承牟宗三的陶國璋以電影和文學談愛情哲學的《愛的盲點》、據聞把Coca Cola譯作「可口可樂」的遊記作者蔣彝首部作品《湖區畫記》,還有更多。嚟「書店快樂」逛下啦:https://www.read-cycling.org/book-shopping 。
