About This Novel
In this book, Jaspers made a famous point - there is an "Axial Age" in world history. The Axial Age refers to the period between 800 BC and 200 BC, when China, India, and the West independently completed civilizational revolutions with similar structures. During this period, Confucius, Mencius, Laozi, Sakyamuni, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and other forerunners who influenced the development of human civilization appeared in the above regions, creating a new starting point for their respective development. The theories of these people still have an important and far-reaching influence on the cultural life of today's society. In addition, Jaspers also pointed out the value of modern science and technology and its existing problems, and thought about the possibility of world unification in the sense of world peace.
