Features: This series is jointly launched by Jilin People's Publishing House and McGraw-Hill, the world's largest educational publishing giant. It aims to provide the public with the most simple and convenient way to quickly grasp the basic knowledge of Western social sciences, serving as a "primer" in the field of philosophy and social sciences. The series, used as a basic textbook in universities in Europe and America, has been popular for 20 years. It is written entirely by leading scholars from various fields in the West and is constantly updated to keep pace with the times. It has become one of the most authoritative basic social science readers recognized in the West and serves as the first step for young scholars to enter the hall of social sciences. Some of its books, such as Liberalism and Postmodernism, have achieved astonishing sales and have been well-received not only by the Western intellectual community but also by the general public.
We eagerly hope that this series can also win the acclaim it once received in Europe and America in China. This book primarily discusses the concept of welfare in political thought, the origin of utilitarian welfare philosophy, anti-individualism, liberal political economy, the critique of welfare individualism, and welfare ethics.
