Wang Dongyue Libros

Do you know what truth or subsistence means to humanity? What does wisdom or knowledge mean to humanity? Do you really believe humanity has a choice for its future? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, the short essays in this book may give you a better idea of that. This book consists of thirty essays that talk about how civilized human beings think, believe, and behave toward truth, goodness, wisdom, and knowledge from different perspectives. These essays were written in a leisure and humorous style, through which readers can easily get a glimpse of the author's philosophical ideas while avoiding difficult philosophical demonstrations.

The main topic of this book is to question the current popular concepts of humanity's progression and development and makes alarm about the systematic crisis, the disastrous prospect of human society, and its accelerating trend. The author is devoted to breaking down the most fundamental problems in the history of Eastern and Western philosophy, that is, investigating the ultimate source of human nature and the ultimate fate of human beings. In this book, the author has selected several unique articles, either echoing with faithful readers, solely discussing human health care, or outlining the history of philosophy, through which readers can easily get a glimpse of the author's point of view while avoiding difficult philosophical demonstrations. Wang Dongyue is an independent philosopher based in China. His works also include A Unified Theory of Evolution: Natural, Mental, and Social, The Joy of Fish, and A Collection of Cultural Lectures (I-II). This present book, The Decline of Humankind, is a collection of several articles and essays that have been compiled to give a brief overview of the author's systematic view of philosophy in a way that avoids the sometimes-obscure nature of philosophy.
