Preface

Today, mankind’s understanding of external world has reached a staggering level. In macrocosmic view, astronomers can observe and study the universe that is hundreds of millions of light years away. On the contrary, in microscopic view, quantum physicists could dive into the magic world of stratum and quark. Without exception, all these brilliant scientific achievements were the results of human’s processing of the information collected from the physical world surrounding us, with wisdom and proper thinking. However, the scientific explorations of the nature and our own society not only depend on how much we have known but also depend on how much we have not known, to a greater degree. In contrast to the deep understanding of the world surrounding us, the mankind’s understanding of ourselves, especially the understanding of
