Western philosophers have long sought to establish an axiomatic systemization of ethics, aiming to provide a comprehensive framework for understanding and evaluating moral principles. However, despite numerous attempts, a universal consensus on the core elements and objectives of ethics has yet to be achieved. This four-volume set presents a model that incorporates insights from Chinese philosophers, who have studied ethics for over two decades.

Ethics is a multifaceted discipline that encompasses three essential components: metaethics, normative ethics, and virtue ethics. In this volume, we focus on normative ethics, which examines the principles and standards that guide human behavior and moral decision-making.

The author of this volume delves into a comprehensive analysis of humanity, liberty, justice, happiness, and systems of moral rules. Through his extensive research and thoughtful insights, he presents 26 value standards that serve as a framework for measuring the state of instruction. He also explores the intricate relationship between humanity, liberty, and justice, proposing three objective laws of happiness. Additionally, the author discusses the merits and demerits of important moral rules, such as honesty, self-respect, and courage.

This set is a valuable resource for students and scholars of ethics and philosophy in general. It offers a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complexities of moral behavior and provides a wealth of insights and perspectives from different cultural traditions. By exploring the insights of Chinese philosophers, this set contributes to the ongoing dialogue on ethical principles and promotes a deeper understanding of the human condition.
