Features: The intellectual landscape of France in the 20th century was truly a gathering of talents and a brilliant constellation. Despite the diverse thoughts, experiences, and theoretical interests of these thinkers, they all shared a common inheritance of the French humanistic spirit. They passionately focused on the reality of human beings, on their fate and future, and sought the path to explain the age-old enigma of "man." They pursued what seemed to be "useless" yet profoundly noble things. For this belief in the "useless" and "non-utilitarian," they tirelessly explored, endured the trials of their souls, and were willing to pay any price, leaving behind a precious spiritual wealth for human civilization.
