Features: The Contemporary Humanities Translation Series is dedicated to translating and introducing the essence of contemporary scholars from around the world on the study of humanistic spirit and human nature. The advocacy and establishment of innovative consciousness, open consciousness, reading consciousness, interdisciplinary consciousness, and applied consciousness have become the mainstream of contemporary humanistic research. Today's focus has shifted from "What do we know?" to "What do we still not know?" The Contemporary Humanities Translation Series takes this as its direction, striving for materials that are accessible yet academically refined, novel yet not sensational, open yet not overly theoretical, lively yet elegant in style, and simple yet profound in meaning. Thus, it discards pretentiousness and cultivates the genuine essence of truth, goodness, and beauty.
The Contemporary Humanities Translation Series includes four volumes: New Continent vs. Old Continent, A Dead World, a Living Heart, God Who Spoke Everything, and The Scent of Men. They will take you from the distant ancient Rome to the transformed present, from the old continent of Europe to the new continent of America, from the vibrant Oceania to the mysterious worlds of Africa and the Arab world, revealing legends and stories. They will inspire you to examine the past and present from multiple perspectives—literature, history, philosophy, anthropology, and sociology—igniting your passion for knowledge and desire, and granting you an appreciation of truth, goodness, and beauty.
