Features: "Nature," "Self," "Society," "Science," "Culture," and "Spirit" are the six major elements in our daily lives and also the six key themes of humanities education. We strive to enable students to "read classic works and engage in dialogues with masters," integrating arts and sciences, discussing the past and present, and exploring both Eastern and Western perspectives. Through this series of books, we aim to develop students' noble human qualities, help them gain a comprehensive understanding of various forms of expression and literary knowledge, enhance their language skills, and achieve humanities-based cultivation. Our pursuit is to guide students to progress step by step in their reading, while expanding their horizons in alignment with their textbooks is also a desire of readers. This volume is themed around "Humans and Nature," intending to explore the "Self" beyond nature and society through reading. It analyzes the value of the self, examines what constitutes a healthy life, and discusses how to perceive emotions in life. This will enable us to view life dialectically, recognize it, and open our hearts to embrace the natural world and society around us more fully.
