Features: This book highlights the "philosophical themes of ethics" in the era of globalization, using "philosophy of ethics" and "value life" theory as its theoretical foundation. Furthermore, following the logic of "philosophy of ethics," the entire ethical theory system is designed into several major modules, including human and self, human and others, human and society, human and nature, human and the internet, and human and the world. This 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, enabling students to learn dynamic and up-to-date knowledge. This book approaches the study of ethics from three different levels: rationality, experience, and practice. Learning and understanding ethics from a rational perspective helps grasp the "philosophical nature" of humans and their moral will, motivating oneself to become a free spirit, self-disciplined in will, and conscious of conscience as an independent individual. Understanding and mastering ethics through personal experience internalizes ethical knowledge, making moral insights an important foundation for pursuing happiness. Exploring and practicing ethics through practical means applies the principles of ethics to guide life actions, enabling oneself to become a true doer of good within the human family—as a ruler becomes an incorruptible official, a businessman becomes a Confucian, a scholar becomes a good teacher, and a person becomes a good individual.
