Where are we from? Where are we now? And where are we going? Where is the other shore? These are eternal questions of human-being which are always ignored by people indulged in their happiness due to the strong sense of anxiety.Thrive in calamity and perish in soft living.Individuals and ethnic groups behave like this，so does the human society.Industrial civilization，driven by the powerful strength of capital logic，science technology and market economy，push people to the most of their happiness，meanwhile，it also push the world to an high-risk era.Ecological crisis，economic crisis，social crisis，crisis of culture，science crisis and spiritual crisis are coming one after another，interacting with mutual effect.The peaceful dream of industrial civilizationwithhigh prosperity will bebroken constantly.People have to consider their dangerous situation—even the extinction of human race，Questions of high-risk era and transformation of human civilization proposed in this book aims to remind people the huge crisis behind the highly prosperity at our age.Dues to its difficulty which is hard to be solved on its own，industrial civilization based on and lead by capitalism has come to an end，from which，a brand new civilization beyond capital logic is arising.Civilization is the comprehensive reflection and representation of the state of human survive and develope.The progress of human civilization is an evolution process from the low level to the high level，from simplicity to complexity ，It is also a natural，historical，economic，social and cultural process .Although the specific forms of human civilization are in different poses and different expressions，they always reflect and represent the life styles，production modes and development patterns of specific ethnic group in specific natural，social and historical condition，together with their thinking pattern，values and ideology.They are embodied as material wealth and spiritual wealth.There is no doubt，civilization is by humanity and for humanity..On one hand，ashuman creation，civilization shows the nature of human and developing process of individual，it allows people reform the natural society and themselves in the form of species，on the other hand，as a kind of independent existence beyond any individual，civilization reforms human surviving model，life style and production mode ，enriches the human nature continuously.Industrial civilization is a new human civilization which appears after primitive civilization，agricultural civilization.It changes and reforms the nature of society and human being with unprecedented force，speed，width and depth.In hundreds of years，its wealth is more than the sum of wealth created by human beings in the past thousands of years. Industrial civilization，especially the modern industrial civilization，not only greatly stimulates，liberates，and enhances the labor productivity of human society，but also promotes to the liberation and development of mankind.At the same time，due to the unique way of production and consumptionofindustrial civilization，people consumed more natural resources in hundreds of years than they did in the past thousands of years，especially since the last century，While conquering and exploring the nature，human damaged and destructed the natural ecological balance and harmony.Industrial civilization is in double alienation.Tools or resources which were to create wealth for the people become enslaver，from a servant to a master.Simultaneously the alienation of man occurs.，Ihe relationships between human and nature，human and society，the relationships among people，between people and themselves are i in the state of the tension and contradiction.man becomes“god”who is above all things from the intelligent part of the universe.The son of nature changes to the master of nature.Human nature，regularity of human objectivity the creative nature of human are transforming to the opposite of their own.Furthermore，it negates and destroys humanity itself.High-risk era is different from any era in the past; the main risk comes from mankind itself.If people are threatened and destroyed mainly by nature in the past，today people are threatened and destroyed by themselves.Therefore，we should not only review and reexamine the industrial civilization overall，face the high-risk era and walk out of it，but alsotranscend and sublate industrial civilization creatively，explore the new way of the development of civilization in order to realize the transformation of human civilization.Since the birth of man on the earth，they have become a“species”and stand in the universe as a“species”，as the same time，the earth has become a“small village”from the center of the universe.Without industrial civilization，especially the rapid development of information technology such things would have been inconceivable.An important warning of the high-risk era is that the global village is just a tiny boat in the endless ocean in the universe，however，the boat would carry 7.5 billion passengers.Facing the ups and downs，we have to hold together in life and death and seek for common development.Therefore，our civilization，the civilization of the human society，the earth civilization will truly enter the“species -civilization”era.Regardless of it's specific form，the future of civilization or our future civilization，the features of“integrality”and“systematicness”of“species”and“would be more prominent.People will enter the era of“species-essence”and“species- development”.Standing on the mountain of high prosperity and high risk of industrial civilization contrasting each other，one would overlook the magnificent view of human civilization in the future.His heart would swell，and his imagination would fire.“New myth era”is a new stage or a super-new stage，in which liberation and freedom，overall development of individuals would come true.At the stage，promoted by a series of important revolutions on science and technology，the regularity of man would change revolutionary，together with the update of human nature.The change would let people more and more close to“god”，that is，human have great magic power，omnipotent，each takes what he needs，do as one pleases.Symbiosis of human and nature，human and society，man and man as well as himself reaches the harmonious coexistence which has a high level of stability.People's lives will be extended continually in a variety of forms and developing styles.By then，human would begin the real universe civilization tour beyond the earth civilization and access to an era of the interstellar civilization.I wish to thank Dr.WangYun and Dr.Liu Jingzhao，especially to Dr.Wang Yun for their hard work and intellectual enlightenment.，This book would not be so fast to meet with readers without them.Be the first to worry about the troubles across the land，the last to enjoy universal happiness.Your comments and criticism are greatly welcome!LiZhongyuanDuring National Day holiday of 2013.
