Features: This book argues that since the concept of a self-learning society has been accepted and practiced by the Chinese people, it has largely been guided by Western theories, with a blind copying of foreign theories, failing to localize the theories properly. The editor of this book has organized ten scholars to study, digest, and absorb Western theories of a learning society, integrating them into their own local systems, and proposed the slogan of building a learning society with Chinese characteristics based on the current conditions of China. The book introduces the concept and characteristics of a learning society in an easy-to-understand and accessible manner. It provides a detailed explanation of the concepts, meanings, and establishment of the learning operation system, lifelong education system, and social innovation system.
