Good and Evil: A Cultural Reflection on the Creation of Values [Chinese]

By Hanno Sauer

Are our notions of "good" and "evil" innate instincts or constructed beliefs? In this age of value disorder and polarized discourse, can we still believe in a universal good? When identity politics and online debates obscure the possibility of dialogue, can we still have a shared moral language? "Good and Evil: A Cultural Reflection on the Creation of Values" traces the origins of cooperation on the East African savannah five million years ago to the moral collapse reflected in contemporary cities and social media, weaving together evolution, biology, history, and philosophy to create a "deep history of morality." This is a philosophical history of the evolution of morality, profound yet light-hearted, critical yet humorous. This is a cultural journey that challenges prejudices and opens up dialogue, allowing us to see anew that the values ​​we believe in are never simply choices but rather the product of the co-construction of history and power. In a modern society that seems to be in disorder and conflict, "Good and Evil" is not a dogma or an answer, but a starting point for us to regain understanding and trust.
