What is an efficient life? At first glance, efficiency can be seen very differently from person
to person, but it can be expanded to cultural differences between the East and the West.
The book Efficiency, Prejudice of Civilization, which deals with the philosophical discourse
on efficiency and sheds light on the East and the West's history, has been published.
 
The text of this book reflects the perspective of French philosopher Francois Julien and outlines
the author's lectures on the concept of efficiency in the East and West.
 
The first chapter of the book, "Western Efficiency," describes modeling in modern science and
its efficiency. It also explains the limitations of modeling in the special situation of war and why
heroism has developed. Chapter 2, "Chinese Efficiency", describes how the concept of 'the situation'
of elements deviating from Western rationality is in China's center of the strategy. You can see
how the Chinese process through indirect, covert, and bypassing procedures differs from the
Western approach and can be practical situations. We also described the difference between the
wise and the strategist. Chapter 3, "International Sentiment and the Future of Humanities,"
emphasizes the need for serious reflection on both civilizations while the future of humanities
should be explored through dialogue between the East and the West. The last chapter,
"Meeting the East and the West," explains the effects of China's reform and opening, the Western
scientific revolution, and the Industrial Revolution on the world after Mao Zedong's death.
