Features: The Contemporary Humanities Translation Series is dedicated to translating and introducing the essence of studies on humanistic spirit and human nature by scholars from various countries around the world. The advocacy and establishment of innovative consciousness, open consciousness, problem awareness, interdisciplinary awareness, and applied consciousness have become the mainstream of contemporary humanistic research. Today's focus has shifted from the past question of "What do we know?" to "What do we still not know?" The Contemporary Humanities Translation Series takes this as its direction in selecting materials, striving to be accessible yet academically refined, novel yet not sensational, open yet not prone to empty talk, brisk yet not lacking elegance, and simple yet profound in meaning. Thus, it discards pretentiousness and nurtures the genuine essence of truth, goodness, and beauty.
The Contemporary Humanities Translation Series includes four volumes: The Scent of Men, New Continent vs. Old Continent, God Who Spoke Everything, and A Dead World, a Living Heart. They will tell you about the legends and stories from ancient Rome to the modern era, from the old continent of Europe to the new continent of America, from the vibrant Oceania to the mysterious Africa and Arab world. They will inspire you to examine the past and present from multiple perspectives—literature, history, philosophy, religion, anthropology, and sociology—igniting your passion and desire for knowledge, and granting you the enjoyment of truth, goodness, and beauty.
