Features: Value philosophy is a newly emerging philosophical discipline that became an independent subject in the early 19th and early 20th centuries. Chinese value philosophy has a history of nearly 70 years. Contemporary Chinese Value Philosophy is a monograph that systematically reviews and studies the development of contemporary Chinese value philosophy since the 1930s. Based on a brief introduction to the subject name, research objects, status, characteristics, significance, and methods of value philosophy, the book systematically examines the development process of value philosophy in China, elaborates in detail the three stages of Chinese value philosophy research in the 1980s and 1990s; systematically discusses the main characteristics, main viewpoints, and theoretical systems of Chinese value philosophy research; highlights the major contributions of Chinese scholars to value philosophy theory and the important issues urgently needing in-depth research; and profoundly analyzes the development prospects of value philosophy in the 21st century, the status of value philosophy in the philosophy and social life of the 21st century, the theme of value philosophy in the 21st century—from spontaneous to conscious, and the research methods and growth points of value philosophy in the 21st century. The appendix briefly introduces the development status of Western value philosophy over the past century and the views of ancient Chinese value philosophy.
