编辑推荐

　　《西中文明比照（第2版）》作为一本跨文化地介绍中西文明概况的比较作品，作者选取的主题教学概念均引自中西方都比较熟悉的柏拉图、卢梭、霍布斯、荀子、孔子、朱熹等名家之论，从中西文明两大体系的核心观念入手，既可免于受堆积如山的编年史料之囿，又能使中国读者能够从理论高度迅速切入西中文明的核心领域。

•   这本书最大的优点就是有一张光盘，里面有很多很珍贵的中西文明比较方面的文字材料。因为作者是西方学者，所以他主要是从西方的角度来进行对比，这种出发点是中国学者很难匹敌的。注意一定要买第二版，比第一版的内容多了很多呢！
•   中西文明的比较研究就需要如此高水平的互动。两位著者共同作战，进行了深富学术意味的动态诠释，迥异于国人的静态言说，让人收获良多。在实录的基础上，更难能可贵的是丰富资料的附录。做此类研究者必得好好借鉴学习，相信受益也会匪浅。
•   书是好，就是在电脑上看得我太吃力了。pdf文件有1000多页。再加上词汇量不够，读得慢。该书的好处就是将国内学者对西方文化的大而化之的理解深化和细化了。当然涉及到中国文化的一些概念的时候还是出现了一些理解上的错误，从这里也可以看出跨文化的比较的难度。
•   老师上课用课件的话，直接从光盘里拷就OK啦，省了大把的时间和精力。至于学生读者嘛，闲来无事翻翻看喽，还可以。
