Features: Science—the wisdom, reason, and civilization of humanity. Just as human survival depends on the sun, social progress depends on science. Science is like a "spiritual sun" created by humans, which also gives us light and heat, illuminates our thinking, and inspires our talents. However, science is not the sun of the universe. Without the nurturing of society, science cannot grow strong and may struggle to shine.

This book is suitable for various university students, graduate students, scientific and technological workers, and philosophical workers. It can also serve as a teaching reference for philosophy courses and an academic reference for philosophical research.
