Features: The Century Humanistic Series includes five sub-series: "The Century Library," "The Century Frontier," "Pocket Classics," "University Classics," and "Open Humanities." Each series is distinct yet complementary. "Clarifying the 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 series and the Western series. The Chinese series, starting from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era, comprehensively organizes academic works since modern China, aiming to provide a progressive path for contemporary reflection on the social and spiritual conditions of modern China. The Western series aims to systematically translate and introduce classic texts from ancient Greece and Rome, tracing the emergence and evolution of Western thought traditions, thereby laying a solid textual foundation for addressing the core issues of modern China. On the Skeptic belongs to the autobiographical works of philosophical thought. Christian faith is a rebirth of existential experience, a fundamental reconfiguration of the meaning of individual existence. Therefore, Kierkegaard's autobiographical narrative is an important document in the study of Christian faith. On the Skeptic does not discuss the relationship between skepticism and Christian faith. This autobiographical fragment only provides traces of individual thought history, and definitive conclusions should be sought in Kierkegaard's other works. Philosophical Fragments is one such work. It concisely and clearly expresses the fundamental requirements of Kierkegaard's thought, marking a significant advancement of fideism in the history of Christian thought after Luther, and holds the significance of a milestone in intellectual history.
