Features: This book discusses that humans are unfinished beings; they do not linger on something that has already become fixed. There is no absolute standard for what constitutes a human existence or a human essence. Human incompleteness embodies malleability and creativity, hence they are always engaged in continuous self-shaping and self-creation. Through their own activities, humans continuously produce and create a new world for themselves, thereby constantly shaping new images of themselves, and continuously creating new states of existence and new definitions of themselves. This is an endless process of human evolution and development. Therefore, human introspection into the self is also endless.
