Features: Children's Popular Philosophy Series. Dear young friends, when you gaze blankly at the stars in the sky or look strangely at yourself in the mirror, many questions may pop into your mind. "Where did I come from?" "Where is the end of the universe?" The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates once said, "Know thyself," which shows that great philosophers share the same confusion and curiosity as children. Why should we "know ourselves"? Because only by knowing ourselves can we better understand the world. This book guides us to know ourselves from four aspects: the origin of humans, human existence, the meaning of human life, and human development. It is hoped that this book can provide helpful guidance for young friends who are growing up and facing confusion, helping them to better understand themselves, society, and inspire their lives.
