Summary

This book presents the results of a series of studies on foundational concepts in the modern humanities and social sciences, conducted by professors from Peking University's German Studies Center together with the Free University of Berlin and Humboldt University under the sponsorship of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Professors from China and Germany in more than a dozen disciplines—including constitutional law, civil law, sociology, political science, education, literature, psychology, philosophy, religious studies, and art studies—jointly examined and discussed the concept of "personality" from multiple disciplinary, cultural, and methodological perspectives, and the present volume collects their contributions. Through this collection, readers can easily and clearly observe the many facets of the concept of "personality" and thereby arrive at a complete understanding of it. This is of fundamental theoretical significance for research and progress in the relevant disciplines, and for interested general readers it also offers a wealth of knowledge and intellectual enrichment.

Editor's review

This book is co-authored by professors from more than ten disciplines in China and Germany, unfolding a multidisciplinary, multicultural dialogue around “personality,” a foundational concept in the modern humanities and social sciences. Its value lies not in offering a single conclusion but in showing how constitutional law, civil law, sociology, political science, education, literature, psychology, philosophy, religious studies, and art studies each define and use “personality,” allowing readers to see the concept's layers and tensions across different intellectual traditions. Reading it conveys the openness and cross-disciplinary character typical of a collection of papers; it serves well as an introductory reference for understanding foundational concepts in the humanities and social sciences, and for researchers comparing the conceptual presuppositions of different disciplines. For general readers, it offers an expansion of intellectual horizons and intellectual training rather than popular stories or practical guides. Enter with the question “Why does the same concept have so many facets?” and the rewards will be more evident.

Who it's for

A good fit for

Undergraduate and graduate students in the humanities and social sciences who need to understand foundational concepts across disciplines
Young researchers in law, sociology, education, and related fields seeking reference for conceptual clarification
Readers interested in Sino-German academic dialogue and cross-cultural research methods
General readers who wish to broaden their humanities and social science horizons and are accustomed to reading essay collections

Not a good fit for

Readers seeking popular psychology self-help or personality-test books
Readers hoping for a single unified definition and conclusion about personality
Readers who prefer narrative, story-driven reading experiences

Reading tips

Read the introduction or general overview first to grasp the book's problem orientation and organizational logic, then select disciplinary chapters of interest.
Prepare a concept comparison table recording how different disciplines define “personality” to facilitate cross-comparison.
There is no need to read from beginning to end; read in modules such as law, sociology, and philosophy, taking brief notes after each module.
Mark unfamiliar disciplinary terms first and revisit them after finishing the chapter, so details do not interrupt overall understanding.

FAQ

Is this book a textbook or an academic essay collection?

Based on the materials, it is a series of results from joint research on the concept of “personality” by professors from multiple disciplines in China and Germany, forming an essay collection rather than a systematic textbook. Chapters are written by authors from different disciplines, so perspectives are diverse and the format is not fully uniform; it is best read by theme rather than expecting textbook-style linear organization.

Can I understand it without a background in philosophy or law?

General readers can read it, but some chapters involve specialized concepts, and the threshold varies by discipline. Start with chapters in disciplines you know and gradually expand to unfamiliar ones; when encountering terminology, you may skip it first and grasp the author's basic position on the concept of “personality.”

Can this book help me understand concrete real-world issues?

The book focuses on multidisciplinary research into foundational concepts, not a case-based operations manual. It helps readers understand how different disciplines think about personality issues, thereby providing conceptual tools and perspectives for analyzing real-world topics, but it does not directly offer operational solutions for specific cases.

About the author

王世洲 Author

Wang Shizhou is an author known for his work in criminal law studies, with writings mainly in the fields of law and social sciences. The library currently holds three of his works: Modern Criminal Law (General Part) (Second Edition), In Pursuit of Criminal Law Ideals, and Personality. Judging from these titles, his writing centers on the basic theories, systematic construction, and value pursuits of criminal law. His output includes textbook-oriented works that organize teaching and systematic knowledge, as well as thematic discussions that explore criminal law ideals and the issue of personality, showing a strong academic and theoretical character. Public information about his education, positions, and career is limited and difficult to verify, so this introduction relies mainly on the works themselves to identify his writing direction: he attends to the knowledge framework of the general part of criminal law while attempting to situate criminal law institutions within deeper questions such as ideals and personality.
