Features: Academic "nationalism" is fully capable of becoming an effective tool to hinder the innovation of national culture. Without reference to the development of academic culture around the world, it is impossible to create our new culture and new philosophy. It is hoped that the translation and introduction of this book will help a broad audience of philosophy enthusiasts in China understand the new trends in contemporary Western philosophy, and contribute to our critical reference and further integration into the global philosophical and cultural landscape. One of the social reasons for the book's widespread influence lies in the author's profound expertise in analytical philosophy, as he uses the language familiar to analytical philosophers to point out the current bottlenecks in the development of analytical philosophy, thereby resonating with readers. Therefore, this book should first be regarded as a work on contemporary American philosophical thought.
