Features: Part of the "Political and Legal Philosophy" and "University Library" series, this collection selects and edits classic, significant works, textbooks, and anthologies of contemporary political and legal philosophy. It focuses on representative schools of contemporary Western thought, providing Chinese readers with a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the broader landscape of modern political and legal thought. It also includes influential representative works in the fields of politics, society, and law. When conditions are ripe, some works evaluating representative Chinese political and legal philosophy will be released. This book is an important work published by the author in recent years after settling in the USA and serving as a visiting professor at Princeton University. Based on the author's lecture series, summaries of audience reactions, and scholarly discussions, the book has been revised, expanded, and compiled into its current form. Despite its modest length, it has become a highly influential work in ethics, political science, and international law. The book discusses a changing world, an atmosphere, an economy, a legal system, and a community. It primarily explores four major themes: climate change, the disputes of the World Trade Organization, human rights and humanitarian intervention, and foreign aid. For each issue, it attempts to transcend traditional state-centric theories and conventional thinking, offering profound insights.
