The author faces the profound moral crisis in today's society, applies ethical theory to the interpretation of daily life, and encourages the reflection, criticism and innovative spirit of moral subjects. This is the biggest feature of this book. This book scientifically synthesizes descriptive, normative, and analytical ethics, absorbs the essence of Eastern ethics, and constructs a "humanitarian ethics" system; it advocates five moral principles such as the value of life, kindness, justice, honesty, and personal freedom, and provides solutions to a wide range of social ethical issues such as life (medical) ethics, corporate ethics, media ethics, environmental ethics, and sexual ethics.
Over the past forty years since its publication, this book has continued to grow its readership around the world. This book is not only loved by teachers and students majoring in philosophy and ethics, but also widely welcomed by non-professional readers. As Mr. Zhou Fucheng, a master of Chinese ethics, said, the "unity of knowledge and action" embodied in this book will surely resonate deep in the souls of Chinese readers.

This book combines ethics with daily life and is very practical. It scientifically constructs a system of "humanitarian ethics" and reminds me of the difficult questions about moral choices in life. Moreover, the book also incorporates non-Western perspectives to make the content more comprehensive. I think it is not only suitable for teachers and students majoring in ethics, but also for non-professional readers like us, and can help us deal with the moral challenges in life.
