Features: To understand the meaning of life, one must step beyond life itself and confront death; to live without losing direction, one must establish a lifelong faith; to realize the value of life, one must set the ideal of "serving society." Since this book is a popular introductory work, it is necessary to enable readers to gain as objective and fair an understanding of the philosophical masters as possible, and to grasp the original form of their various viewpoints. Therefore, the author generally avoids making any conclusive comments and instead allows readers to draw their own judgments. I hope that readers will approach this book with a critical eye, discerning the negative, pessimistic, or outdated views of certain masters or schools of thought, and practice critical absorption, striving to "take the essence and discard the dross."
