Features: To understand the thoughts of predecessors in history and grasp the doctrines of contemporaries, one must search for and gather insights from the vast body of literature. This is an experience every scholar must undergo, yet it is also one they can never fully complete. Every scholar must engage in this process, even taking countless notes. Although this labor may be repetitive in various ways for every scholar, it still must be repeated countless times. While this repetition is unavoidable, it can also be simplified to some extent. The work we have undertaken shares this motivation. This book cannot replace our learning from predecessors and contemporaries, but it can help us learn from them. No quotation-style excerpts can compare to the original works. This series of books is not equivalent to the originals, but they can serve as indexes and clues to guide us into the originals. Human creativity is a continuous progression. Only by standing on the shoulders of predecessors can humanity achieve higher heights.
