Features: This is a sincere and resolute philosophical work that clarifies the philosophical legacy of Heidegger from various important aspects, connects it to the cultural tradition of Europe, and rejuvenates it. From Eberling's analysis, we can grasp the general trend of contemporary European philosophy, and from his arguments, we can glimpse the sincere affection of a European philosopher for preserving the heritage of his philosophical and cultural tradition. As Eberling himself said, although it is true that we are not free, not equal, and we must die, we want to be free, we want to be equal. We do not want to live only for death. The ideal sensibility of human action is just this—to bear the grand ambitions of humanity through all disasters and through all disasters. The reason humans need philosophy is precisely to overcome all obstacles from what is called "reality" in order to uphold freedom, equality, and the tendency to eliminate mortality.
