註釋While the wheels of history roll forward, their trajectory is repetitive. Throughout history, unexpected plagues present themselves and pose a great threat to our lives. However, they can also make us stop and think about the relationship between nature and ourselves. It can be said that the history of human development is also a history of our struggles against plague. An invisible hand regularly leverages the plagues at different stages of our history to remind us that we should control our desires and live harmoniously with nature. Self-discipline and Nature: a History of Humanity's War Against the Pandemic begins from the perspective of mankind's struggle with plagues and leads us through history to comprehend why we need Mother Nature and discipline. In this book, we explore the striking similarities among the previous plagues, including the current coronavirus. Concurrently, we also catch a glimpse of their marginal differences, which are nothing beyond what was present in each of the previous viruses. We will discover that whether it is the current or past plagues, every plague will bring about profound changes to our society. Undoubtedly, the current plague is no different. It will bring about unprecedented change to our society. This new era can be known as the post-pandemic era. The change, opportunities, and challenges we will face are another area that this book explores. Hence, how we avoid repeating the mistakes of history is also another important question raised in this book. By reading it, we can better understand the significance of us returning to nature and living together in harmony. This will surely give us the wisdom to avoid the next major plague. --from page [4] of cover.
