Features: This book takes one of the three sources of Western civilization, Greek civilization, as its research subject. The author believes that the essence of Greek civilization is passionate and enduring humanism. It is the source of the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and modern humanism. The manuscript argues that the foundation of Greek humanism is virtue, and that to attain noble virtue, education is necessary. Ultimately, whether virtue or education must be implemented for human well-being, that is, the pursuit of happiness. The book is well-researched and the language is fluent, perhaps offering inspiration to Chinese advocates of virtue-based governance and virtue education.
