Features: This book highlights "philosophical themes of ethics" in the era of globalization, with "philosophy of ethics" and "value life" as its theoretical foundation. Following the logic of "philosophical ethics," the entire ethical theory system is designed into several major modules: human and self, human and others, human and society, human and nature, human and the internet, and human and the world. This approach not only reflects the basic content of ethical theory but also combines the trend of its application, while also showcasing the latest developments in the field to enable students to learn dynamic and up-to-date knowledge. The book explores ethics from three different levels: rationality, experience, and practice.
At the rational level, studying ethics helps grasp the "philosophical nature" of humans and their moral will, motivating oneself to become a spiritually free, will-disciplined, and conscience-aware independent individual through value rationality. At the experiential level, understanding and internalizing ethics turns moral insights into a crucial foundation for pursuing happiness. At the practical level, exploring and applying ethics involves using ethical principles to guide life actions, enabling oneself to become a true doer of good within the human family—officials becoming upright officials, merchants becoming Confucian-inspired entrepreneurs, scholars becoming virtuous teachers, and individuals becoming good people.
