EDITOR’S NOTE:《人类向何处去：新世纪意识形态之较量与重组》(Where is the Mankind Heading for: Contests and realignments between ideologies in the new century) is the most recently published one of the several books authored by The New Legalist staff. It is actually a systemized collection of part of the author’s web articles in Chinese on philosophy and social science. As a matter of fact, a larger part of its content has already appeared in this English section of our website in the form of separate and independent articles, which were translated by the author himself. Here is the list of content with references for most sub-headings to those already translated and posted articles (or passages), from which the reader can get some idea of the author’s system of thought without reading the whole book. Any comment and criticism and any offer to help with the translation of the whole book into English will be welcome and appreciated.
