Features: In the past two decades, the integrated analytical model of politics/ethics/culture has become the main trend in philosophy and even in the humanities and social sciences. In this book, Zhao Tingyang uses his "synthetic text" and "-free analysis" as methodologies to deeply analyze political philosophy and cultural philosophy issues, introduces the "All-Under-Heaven Institutional Analysis Model," and attempts to explain the ideological dilemmas of the contemporary world. Drawing on Chinese philosophy as the basic resource, he reshapes the concept of "China" and the worldview of "the world." Zhao Tingyang's "synthetic text" research method is also an exploration of philosophical methodology, introducing certain analyses from game theory, political science, economics, anthropology, and history. This new methodology enhances the creativity of philosophy while also potentially leading to controversial theoretical expansion.
