Features: Although parents and society today tend to prioritize worldly success and may not place as much emphasis on the education of fundamental human qualities, we believe this series of small books will greatly benefit the development of sound minds and thinking, not only for teenagers but also for parents. Philosophers do not necessarily aim to teach a batch of professional philosophers through this series. However, if it unintentionally guides a few young readers toward the path of philosophy, that would be the authors' greatest satisfaction! As the authors put it, "This is a book written by a few 'foolish philosophers' for smart high school students."
When people are young, they are often filled with an irresistible sense of wonder about the world they inhabit, and while they marvel at life, they also fear death. This sense of wonder and reverence for the world is precisely a form of philosophical concern. Many of the questions children ask are often philosophical in nature, especially those who are in their formative years. They tend to obsessively ponder fundamental issues. However, it is often difficult to find satisfactory answers to these questions from adults.
Philosophy is the love of wisdom. It is a way of thinking, a way of life. This series is aimed at young people who love to think and seek wisdom. It is written by several renowned middle-aged and young philosophers, who come together to explore questions about the world and life. Through small stories and simple problems, it explains issues that parents may be impatient to address or simply unable to answer.
