Features: The author is a renowned expert in social theory research from Hong Kong. This book compiles representative works of the author in the field of social theory research over the years. In these articles, the author attempts to integrate the ideas of critical theory, hermeneutics, and life studies to construct a theoretical orientation called "strong value involvement theory." This theory aims to discuss topics such as the nature of social knowledge, social work practice, the dilemmas of modern society, the localization of social sciences, and the characteristics of contemporary Chinese people from the perspectives of social and humanities research. Through these discussions, the author hopes to outline a new framework for social knowledge and demonstrate the practical effectiveness of this knowledge perspective.
