Features: In contrast to laissez-faire, any morality is a form of tyranny over nature and reason. — Nietzsche The horizon of absolute knowledge lies in erasing the words in logos, restoring traces of existence, and reclaiming difference, thereby achieving what I elsewhere call moderate metaphysics — Derrida Simplified to the extreme, we can regard the skepticism toward meta-narratives as "postmodern." — Lyotard Chinese literature has absorbed diverse rational currents and hybridized them with irrational ones. The challenge lies in clarifying the connotations and extensions of various rational spirits from the integration of philosophical theories and literary texts, as well as excavating these spirits from different literary forms and providing innovative and accurate interpretations. This is the key or focus of the task. From this logical center, a web-like framework for the book has been developed, with specific planning from the outline to the subheadings, and stricter writing requirements have been proposed. Through multiple brainstorming discussions and reaching a consensus, the contributing authors conducted in-depth research on their assigned tasks under the guidance of the outline, continuously enriching the writing outline with their unique discoveries and insights, striving for innovation and excellence.
