说说我目前的备考计划吧，目前为准备aw在读两本书，一本是关于Logic的小册子，一本是关于社会学理论的书。
DescriptionLogic is often perceived as having little to do with the rest of philosophy, and even less to do with real life. In this lively and accessible introduction, Graham Priest shows how wrong this conception is. He explores the philosophical roots of the subject, explaining how modern formal logic deals with issues ranging from the existence of God and the reality of time to paradoxes of probability and decision theory. Along the way, the basics of formal logic are explained in simple, non-technical terms, showing that logic is a powerful and exciting part of modern philosophy.
牛津大学出版的简介系列中的一本，不及A4纸一半大，一百多页。很少的语言，深入浅出的介绍了什么是Logic。看完这个，让我觉得写Argument的时候更有的放矢，而不是乱写一气。
Product DescriptionWritten by one of the foremost authorities in the world on sociological theory and a junior colleague (and former student) who specializes, and has already published widely, in theory, this market-leading text gives readers a comprehensive overview of the major contemporary schools of sociological thought. This text begins with a synopsis of the formative years and concludes with the emergence of postmodern (and even post-post modern) social theory. Key theories are integrated with biographical sketches of the lives of theorists to place readings in their personal and historical context for students. This book provides students with the context to understand the diversity of contemporary theory as well as the framework to compare and contrast the newest substantive theories that they have been exposed to in other sociology courses. The sixth edition has been thoroughly updated and revised to reflect current debates in sociology and includes completely new sections on Actor-Network theory, neo-Marxian theories of space, chaos in social theory and theories of globalization.
读这本书，是一个学社会学的朋友推荐的。为什木要读社会学的书呢，因为我觉得issue题目很多都是社会学很关心的话题，考试的时候我们根据自己的想法，去论证题目其实本来没有对错之分，但审阅的人却多是具有典型西方思维的脑袋。这样情况下，西方脑袋是否能欣赏带有浓重东方色彩的论证方式呢。。。有的时候和外国朋友聊天，等变成讨论式，会明显感觉，因为地域文化原因，每个地方都有其独特的因为所以关系，是让其他文化的人一时可以难以接受的（可以理解，难以信服）。所以，我觉得读点社会学的书还是很有必要的，了解下他们的因为所以。
另，这本书的语言非常优美，介绍这本书的同学说她没事儿的时候就长把这本书翻出来，只为读下书里简单却十分优美的句子。有其他很多理论书里的句子，让native speakers in the major都很费解。不知道这到底是作者语言的失败，还是大众与其出众智慧的差距太大太大太大。。。。
