內容簡介
《英文學術名著：上帝之城》內容簡介：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，國人對於西學的了解，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，往往與原著出入頗大。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，還是出現了一批學貫中西的學者，但其中肯花工夫於譯業的太少。許多年積累下來，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，畢竟與原著隔了一層。倘若我們的學術界始終主要依靠中譯本去了解和研究西學，我們的西學水平就永遠不能擺脫可憐的境況。
好在現在有了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了。在這種形勢下，本叢書應運而生。編輯者的計畫是，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，分批陸續出版，為有志者提供價廉的版本和閱讀的便利。我讚賞這樣的善舉，並且相信，這也是為學術界做的一件益事。
媒體評論
信仰是去相信我們所未見到的，而這種信仰的結果，是看見我們所相信的。
