Features: The development of society, the advancement of science, and the progress of thought always require an environment rich in nourishment. This environment, in the hearts of rational and spiritually gifted people, is primarily the accumulation of rich intellectual materials. Since the mid-19th century, many scholars in modern China have devoted themselves to translating Western classics, achieving remarkable results and contributing greatly. However, with the passage of time, Western scholars have published numerous new works on various issues of modern society, which undoubtedly hold significant implications and reference value for the broad readership in China today. Therefore, there is still much work to be done in translating and publishing modern Western intellectual classics. As readers know, modern Western thought not only features a diverse array of schools and traditions but also shows a deep transformation, increasingly moving toward a trend of integration. At the same time, this elusive trend reveals profound historical roots, cultural backgrounds, and the continuity of theoretical inheritance. The establishment of the "Modern Western Thought Library" is precisely intended to carry forward the great tradition of translating Western intellectual classics, providing essential nourishment or sustenance for our intellectual and academic communities to understand and draw on the essence of modern Western thought, with the hope of enabling further progress on the thorny yet blossoming path of exploration in these fields. The "Modern Western Thought Library" is both a magnificent and complex undertaking and an extremely challenging and burdensome endeavor. In the process of this work and the journey of this endeavor, we sincerely express our gratitude to the readers who have paid attention to this library.
