Features: In today's globalized world, no culture can develop or survive in isolation. Ancient Chinese culture, in particular, urgently needs to draw nourishment from various external sources. Over the past century, many translations have been undertaken by the Chinese people. Now, without pretending to be modest, I have also established this "Humanities Translation Series." The name may seem grand, but it aims to include various valuable translations, with the hope of contributing a small part to the revival of Chinese humanities. With the arrival of the postmodern era, Dostoevsky has once again been brought to the forefront. This book offers a philosophical interpretation of Dostoevsky and his ideas, using this platform to respond to the various challenges faced by postmodern society. It questions some of the fundamental principles upon which modern society is built, thereby seeking to restore humanity to its authentic state.
