《论需要与欲望——〈人学原理〉第一部》
On Needs and Desires: Principles of Humanology, Volume I
作者：赖建平 / Author: Jianping Lai
本书提出“我要故我在”（I want, therefore I am）这一核心命题，尝试突破传统“我思故我在”的理性主义框架，从人的需要与欲望出发，重新回答“人是什么”“人为什么行动”“自由从何而来”等哲学根本问题。
This book proposes the core proposition “I want, therefore I am”, attempting to break through the traditional rationalist framework of “I think, therefore I am”, starting from human needs and desires to re-answer fundamental philosophical questions such as “What is a human being”, “Why do people act”, and “Where does freedom come from”.
全书系统构建“需要—欲望—价值观—意志”的人性结构理论，提出“四要本体论”“四种意志”“八大自由”等原创理论，对财富、权力、名誉、情色、自由等核心欲求进行系统分析，力图为理解人性、自由与文明提供新的理论框架。
The entire book systematically constructs the theory of human nature structure of “needs—desires—values—will”, proposes original theories such as “Four Essentials Ontology”, “Four Kinds of Will”, and “Eight Great Freedoms”, and systematically analyzes core desires such as wealth, power, fame, erotic love, and freedom, striving to provide a new theoretical framework for understanding human nature, freedom, and civilization.
