Features: This book is written for readers who are not philosophy majors but are interested in the value theory of philosophy, especially for young friends. Everything discussed here is not about introducing or instilling any ready-made knowledge norms, but about observing, thinking, and taking responsibility for our lives together with the readers. The world of human value is infinitely diverse and pluralistic. In human life, areas such as economics, politics, morality, art, religion, law, and military are inherently and always ways in which people directly pursue and realize certain values. They themselves are certain value and value systems, closely intertwined. Science, knowledge, and the world they reflect, especially natural objects themselves, do not directly belong to the realm of value, but as their significance to humans becomes increasingly prominent, they are also becoming objects of value examination and pursuit. Technology and education are already value-laden scientific knowledge. The introduction of concepts like "ecology" indicates that nature has also been fully incorporated into the human value framework. Thus, the study of real-world values cannot be limited to narrow perspectives but must involve increasingly broader fields. Of course, the most important topic before and above all of this is still the "human" itself as the value subject and value standard.
