Summary

Following the publication of three books—Outline of the Theory of Knowledge-Existence and The Theory of Knowledge-Existence (Volumes I and II), totaling about one million words—which laid the groundwork for the theoretical foundation of The Theory of Public Ownership, the author, in order to complete the theoretical system of the six-volume Complete Works of the Theory of Public Ownership, sorted out from a manuscript of more than five million words the publication of the three academic works The Theory of Public Ownership, Volumes I, II, and III, totaling more than one million words. Together with the three books The Theory of Knowledge-Existence and Outline of the Theory of Knowledge-Existence, they constitute the theoretical system of the Complete Works of the Theory of Public Ownership in six volumes and more than two million words. This book is divided into three parts—"On Human Rights," "Natural Rights," and "Property-Rights Human Rights"—comprising fifteen chapters. From the natural mode of survival of the natural human rights of human power, to the production-survival mode of property-rights monopoly under natural rights in modern capitalist society, to the human progress of the property-rights human rights of each person's value-based human power, it reveals the historical process of the property-rights transformation of the human power of power monopoly in private-ownership society and of the human power of each person's property-rights human rights, as well as the process of property-rights transformation in the human progress of the commonality of the human power of each person's natural human rights and property-rights human rights.

Editor's review

Public Ownership Theory (Volume II) is another major theoretical work by Mr. Song Zheming following Public Ownership Theory (Volume I). Its core proposition—how to construct and practice the concept of "the public" within the framework of modern society—is profoundly relevant to our times. This is not a simple treatise on political economy, but a comprehensive study integrating philosophical speculation, historical analysis, and social observation. With his deep academic grounding, the author attempts to bridge classical public ownership theory and the complex realities of contemporary society, avoiding both dogmatic vagueness and narrowly utilitarian short-sightedness. Readers can clearly sense the fundamental question the author seeks to address: as individual rights consciousness is highly awakened and globalization and digitalization sweep the world, how should the value core and forms of realization of "the public" evolve and innovate? The argumentation progresses layer by layer with rich citations. Although some chapters are theoretically dense and demand sustained attention, the thinking framework it offers is illuminating for understanding many public issues in contemporary China and the world at large—such as wealth distribution, data property rights, and environmental governance. It is more like a key that opens a deeper dialogue on "living together" and "sharing the future."

About the author

宋哲民 Author

Song Zheming: publicly available information is limited. At present, it is known only that four of his works are included in the collection, commonly classified under philosophy readings. His representative works include the three volumes of On the Public (Part One, Part Two, and Part Three) and On the Existence of Knowledge (Part One). Judging from the titles and classification, Song Zheming's writing concentrates on philosophy, developing theoretical discussions around propositions such as "the public" and "the existence of knowledge," and showing a systematic, volume-by-volume approach. On the Public treats a single theme across three volumes, suggesting sustained and fairly systematic reflection on the subject, while On the Existence of Knowledge approaches knowledge from the perspective of ontology and resonates with the former in philosophical concern. Owing to the lack of information about his life, nationality, and educational background, it remains difficult to determine his intellectual sources and academic lineage; readers may instead understand his problematic and argumentative style through the works themselves.
