Features: "Je sais quoi?" was originally a phrase by the 16th-century French philosopher Montaigne. It not only illustrates the boundless nature of knowledge but also reflects the thirst for knowledge of that generation during the Renaissance. In 1941, France was in a critical period. To meet the needs of university teaching and student reading under the special circumstances of the war, the Presses Universitaires de France (PUF) published this series of books using Montaigne's phrase as the title. Beyond fulfilling these needs, it undoubtedly carried the significance of popularizing knowledge, inspiring people's passion for reading, and reviving the French nation. Today, our country is in a new era of advancing toward modernization, and the entire nation is striving to build it into a prosperous and strong socialist country. We believe that selectively translating and publishing this series of books will also play its due role for us. The translation and publication of this series were made possible with the help of the Presses Universitaires de France and the French Embassy in China, for which we express our sincere gratitude. Due to the large number of original works and the urgency of the task, there may inevitably be imperfections in the selection and translation. Some works may hold biased opinions, and we hope readers will bear with us.
