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 itself and the life of humans. 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 of human life practice. This is a vast realm. Everything that arises not from the natural world or the natural relationships between things in nature, but from the presence of humans, and everything that holds meaning for humans, is judged as good or bad from a human standpoint, and always requires humans to exert great effort to discern, weigh, and choose—belongs to the realm of value. Value is a world centered on humans, depicted in human terms, and a world that is internalized and transformed through social practice. If value is meaning, then how exactly is meaning realized in all these aspects? How can the meaning that should be achieved be realized? If value is good or bad, then where does good or bad come from? For the brightness and happiness of humanity, what should we do? This is the common theme that the entire series of books will explore with readers.
