Features: The division of knowledge into Eastern and Western traditions has brought little benefit to the development of both. Wang Runjie, with his integrated understanding of both Eastern and Western traditions, has always approached philosophy without distinguishing between them, instead addressing issues as needed. I have always deeply felt a sense of shared purpose with him in this regard. In this collection, Wang Qingjie presents respected perspectives on Heidegger's research, hermeneutics, particularly ethics. Among them, his study of the Chinese "model ethics" is, in my view, an important interpretation. Zhao Tingyang once said that true philosophical thinking is like walking on an unmarked path in the forest. When looking back, the traces of one's journey may have long faded, leaving only a solitary "signpost." The thirteen essays collected in this book serve as "signposts" along the author's own philosophical learning and thinking journey, reminding me of the path I have taken from Beijing to the United States, then to Hong Kong, from studying and learning to teaching and researching. Along this path, there have been moments of confusion, as in "the mountain turns and the water repeats, making one doubt if there is a way forward," but also moments of joy, as in "when willows and flowers suddenly appear, revealing another village." I hope that friends and readers who are interested in these articles can share in the "confusion" and "joy" of this "kindred spirit."
