Features: The 20th century witnessed the birth of new philosophy and the death of old philosophy. The battlefield between old and new philosophy was neither in the metaphysical beyond nor in the empirical here, but at the critical point between the metaphysical and the empirical. Concepts and categories such as world, society, alienation, practical language, science, alienation, practice, language, science, field, class essence, non-rational, and everyday life, which lie between the metaphysical and the empirical, rose to prominence at the dawn of the 20th century. Thus, old and new philosophies engaged in a life-and-death struggle here. As the 20th century, laden with achievements, gradually receded from us, people were astonished to discover that the crucible of philosophical was blazing in the convergence of the metaphysical and the empirical.
In his early years, the author engaged in research on artificial intelligence and linguistics, many of his ideas being creative and innovative. However, driven by a more grandiose pursuit, he bid farewell to his past and turned to exploring philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and cultural studies. He has intuitive and perceptual experiences of the critical points in different stages of his self. This is a precious accumulation. When he uses these epiphanies of the mind to contemplate the critical points of human intelligence, he knows what is yesterday, what is tomorrow, what is fact, what is value, what is hypocrisy, and what is sincerity. What he offers us are statements and judgments about the discontinuity and continuity of the world.
