Features: Political philosophy is an interdisciplinary field. Its topics range from morality, law, religion, customs, to communities, nations, states, and their economic distribution methods, as well as gender, friendship, marriage, family, upbringing, education, and even literary and artistic expressions. Therefore, political philosophy possesses a characteristic that is not confined by modern academic divisions. At its core, political philosophy is a concentrated expression of self-awareness and self-reflection within a political community. At the dawn of the 21st century, Chinese scholars are fostering a new cultural consciousness, which will inevitably first manifest as inquiries in political philosophy. This series, "Political Philosophy Library," aims to provide a starting point for political philosophy research in China with a modest academic approach, promoting the gradual maturation of Chinese political philosophy.
