Features: This book is a follow-up project to the "University Humanities Reader," with the same purpose of spreading the universal values of human civilization and exploring the rich connotations of the humanities spirit, enriching the humanistic sentiments of contemporary Chinese people, revitalizing the hall of humanistic culture, and inspiring college students to "become mature in spirit." The pursuit of "humanities renewing daily" is the goal of this book and also the aspiration of the Chinese people at present. The burden is heavy, and we hope that the wise will help to achieve it. Humanistic culture is a culture of self-reflection, and humanistic care reflects a high sense of cultural mission. The humanities spirit points to a human ideal system centered on truth, goodness, and beauty, which is the core connotation of "what makes humans human." Humanistic education is the "usefulness of the useless," because its purpose is to promote the complete independence and self-perfection of humans as life and spiritual subjects, engaging in in-depth and extensive discussions on the grand themes of "how to be a person" and "what kind of person to be." The status of humanistic education, in the ultimate sense, reflects the position of freedom in our hearts, the position of the meaning of life in life, and the position of humans in the universe.
