Features: This series of books, dedicated to readers, will discuss issues in various fields of human life, including economics, politics, ethics, art, religion, law, knowledge, science, technology, culture, education, military, and ecology, as well as the human being and human life itself. The topics are so broad—should we compile a complete encyclopedia of world knowledge, a comprehensive encyclopedia of social sciences, or a treasury of life knowledge? No. Although the topics are extensive, they share a common perspective or a common level, which is the value-oriented life practice of human beings. This is a vast realm. All phenomena that arise not from things or natural relationships inherent in nature but from the existence of humans, where everything has significance for humans, is judged and weighed from a human standpoint, and always requires humans to exert great effort in discerning, balancing, and making choices, all belong to the realm of value. Value is a human-centered world, depicted through human perspectives, and a world that is internalized and transformed through social practice. If value is meaning, then how do the meanings in all these aspects manifest? How can the intended meanings be realized? If value is good or bad, where do good and bad come from? For the bright future and happiness of humanity, what should we do? This is the common theme that the entire series of books will explore with readers.
