Features: The Century Human Series includes five interfaces: "The Century Library," "The Century Frontier," "Miniature Classics," "University Classics," and "Open Humanities." Each series is distinct yet complementary. "Clarifying the context of Western thought and renewing the academic tradition of China" serves as the editorial principle of "The Century Library." The library is divided into two major book series: the Chinese Studies series and the Western Studies series. The Chinese Studies series, starting from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic period, comprehensively organizes academic works since modern China, aiming to provide a progressive framework for contemporary reflection on the social and spiritual conditions of modern China. The Western Studies series aims to systematically translate and introduce classic texts from ancient Greek and Roman times, tracing the emergence and evolution of Western intellectual traditions, thereby laying a solid textual foundation for addressing the core issues of modern China. In parallel, "The Century Frontier" focuses on significant academic topics and new developments in global thought since World War II, showcasing recent achievements in various disciplines and the diverse dimensions of contemporary cultural trends. "Miniature Classics," on the other hand, collects classic works by renowned masters in distinctive styles, offering both depth and accessibility. This book is a work of political sociology. The author discusses the relationship between individual and public issues, emphasizing the connection between the world and our way of life, and points out that integrating personal issues into the public sphere is an urgent and essential task for the revitalization of contemporary politics.
