Features: Institutions are a form of civilization that is interrelated with spirit and material culture, standing equally important. Based on this premise, the book provides systematic insights into why institutions arise, the essence of institutions, types of institutions, the significance of institutions, the background resources of institutions, and the selection of institutions. To facilitate a deeper understanding of the topic, the book also discusses related issues such as what humans are, civilizational values, human affairs, modernity, the rule of law, and ultimate concerns, offering many novel perspectives. The book presents a grand narrative, marginal essays, and lacks refinement, but it has strengths in certain aspects, making it worth for those interested.
