Features: Recently, Liang Zhiping, in his review of China Academic, proposed the concept of "the internationalization of the Chinese-speaking world," once again stirring thoughts on this topic. Indeed, as long as we do not understand the "Reform and Opening Up" as overly one-dimensional, merely as a tendency to conform to others, then the land we stand on could fully become a solid foundation for actively reaching out to the world—and that world might no longer be unipolar. The first article published in the essays section of this book is a thought-provoking piece on the philosophy of consciousness. Geng Ning, based on fundamental facts of child psychology, introduces a distinction between original direct consciousness and derived reflective consciousness. In terms of content, the author extends the analysis of reflection from one's own intentional experience to others' intentional experience, thereby giving reflection not only an individual epistemological significance but also a social epistemological significance. In the conclusion, the author abandons certain biases in Husserl's reflective philosophy and introspective philosophy, particularly emphasizing that neither direct, naive thinking nor reflective, philosophical thinking possesses autonomy.
