內容簡介
《西中文明比照(第2版)》從中西文明兩大體系的核心觀念入手，跨文化地介紹了中西文明的概況；在闡述西方文明的同時，處處以中華文明為參照系；抓住了中西文明的整體外貌、基本特徵和關鍵區別。《西中文明比照(第2版)》框架清晰、概念典型、例證精到。內附CD-ROM含有1000多頁與主題緊密相連的翔實資料、圖片。 CD-ROM內含作者在香港大學所作關於中西文明比較介紹的精彩講座。
編輯推薦
《西中文明比照(第2版)》作為一本跨文化地介紹中西文明概況的比較作品，作者選取的主題教學概念均引自中西方都比較熟悉的柏拉圖、盧梭、霍布斯、荀子、孔子、朱熹等名家之論，從中西文明兩大體系的核心觀念入手，既可免於受堆積如山的編年史料之囿，又能使中國讀者能夠從理論高度迅速切入西中文明的核心領域。
