- More about The Principles of New Ethics I: Meta-ethics
Western philosophers have sought to develop an ethical system, but a lack of agreement on its components and objects hinders completion. This four-volume set presents a model that incorporates Chinese philosopher's insights after a 22-year study. It explores meta-ethics, normative ethics, and virtue ethics, focusing on meta-ethics. The author examines the five primitive concepts of ethics, reveals their relationship, and addresses the Humes guillotine. The English version is expected to have a significant impact on the academic community.

Western philosophers have long sought to establish an axiomatic systemization of ethics, but a lack of consensus on the core principles and objectives of ethics has hindered its completion. This comprehensive four-volume set presents a model that draws upon the insights of Chinese philosophers after a 22-year study. Three fundamental aspects of ethics are explored: metaethics, normative ethics, and virtue ethics.
Volume 1 primarily focuses on metaethics, delving into the study of the five primitive concepts of ethics: "value," "good," "ought," "right," and "fact." The author not only examines the interrelationships between these concepts but also presents a solution to the enduring "Humes guillotine" question, exploring whether "ought" can be derived from "fact." His primary objective is to identify the methodologies for crafting exemplary moral norms, leading to insights into the proof of ethical axioms and ethical postulates.
Written by a renowned philosopher, the Chinese version of this set has achieved remarkable popularity, selling over 60,000 copies and making a significant impact on the academic landscape in China. The English edition is poised to become an indispensable resource for students and scholars of ethics and philosophy, offering a fresh perspective on the development of ethical thought.
