Independent publisher of fiction, non-fiction and translation. We also curate writing and philosophy for social change projects. Directed by writers Dr Hannah Stevens & Dr Will Buckingham. A Scottish organisation currently based in Taiwan. We have worked all around the world with groups including survivors of domestic abuse, ex-political prisoners, doctors, directors of international NGOs, LGBTQI+

groups, activists and community educators in conflict areas. Our partners include the BBC, the British Embassy, Greenpeace, the Goethe Institute, Caritas and GIY Ireland. We take our name from Liu Xie, the sixth century Chinese writer. For Liu, good writing requires a combination of liveliness (wind) and rigour (bone). "So cultivate the strength of the wind, and make the bone robust." — Liu Xie

「每年科技都在不斷進步，但在這個過程中，我們是否有失去內心或靈魂的風險？未來，我們會愛上機器人嗎？你已經跟 ChatGPT 墮入愛河了嗎？你是否懷念過去的時代，沒有人用手機打擾你？還是你熱情擁抱所有的新技術？技術或許可以解決我們所有的問題，從飢餓到癌症。我們甚至可能把靈魂和意識上傳到線上，永遠存活。但也有可能，技術會讓我們更快自取滅亡。十一月主題《科技與哲學》，我們將研讀海德格爾（Heidegger）的《技術的問題》，討論『技術的問題是什麼？』，以及我們應該如何面對它。」─白忠修Will Buckingham

「Philosophy」（哲學）這個英文詞源於希臘語的「philosophia」或「φιλοσοφία」，其中「Philos-」或「φίλος」意為「愛」，「-sophia」或「σοφία」意為「智慧」，因此「φιλοσοφία」即是「愛智慧」。蘇格拉底曾說，愛智慧者並非已擁有智慧者。愛智慧的人既不愚昧，也未達至智慧的巔峰。他們，與我們一樣，處於中間狀態。尋求智慧是一場旅程。我們共同探討人生中的重大問題，辯論、講述故事、分享經驗，彼此學習，逐步挖掘出更好的問題和答案。「涴莎哲學沙龍」正是一個讓你成為哲學家的機會，親身體驗這個過程。因為每個人都可以成為哲學家。你無需留鬍子、無需過於嚴肅，無需穿長袍或抽煙斗。只需願意面對生活中的問題，尋找更有創意的思考方式。

Will Buckingham，來自英國的哲學家，曾於包括英國、中國、緬甸、保加利亞和臺灣等國家任教。目前旅居臺南。他對哲學與日常生活相遇的地方充滿興趣，認為哲學不應僅僅是學術命題，而是適用於每個人及生活當中。他的著作包含哲學、兒童書、旅行寫作、小說和短篇故事。目前在Parami大學教授哲學與寫作。
　　　　　
同時，Will也是 Wind&Bones Books （風骨）的主理人之一。Wind&Bones （風骨）名字源自劉勰的《文心雕龍》。「風」象徵精神、能量，以及生命，「骨」則代表結構和組織；是一家致力於創意寫作和創意思維的社會企業，期盼藉由跨文化的計畫推動，為社會帶來正面的影響。

When we set up Wind&Bones back in 2018, we wanted a name that reflected our vision of writing, creativity and social change. And after a lot of discussion, eventually we came up with Wind&Bones.

But what’s in a name? And why are we called this? Is one of us “Wind” and one of us “Bones”? Are these our secret superhero names? Alas, no! But the real story is fun and interesting too, and it goes back to medieval China.

Wind&Bones Books is a publishing house based between Scotland and Taiwan. We publish books we care about, including fiction, translation, philosophy and curious hybrid works.

We are run by Wind&Bones CIC, a social enterprise registered in Scotland. At Wind&Bones, we're dedicated to exploring the points of intersection between writing, creativity and social change. We believe writing can and does change the world. Not once and for all, but in small ways and large, sometimes incrementally and at other times dramatically.

In our bookshop, you can order our handsome Wind&Bones Paperback Editions direct from us. We ship our paperbacks all over the world, or you can download our books in EPUB format. You can also download our exquisitely-designed Wind&Bones Shorts in PDF and EPUB format. Our Wind&Bones Shorts include essays, curiosities, creative writing mini-courses, and fiction by writers we love—things too strange, too wayward, or too fine to find a home elsewhere.
