Features: We might as well assume that the "imperialist" attitude of economics fundamentally stems from its belief in its fundamental method—"Reason legislates for nature." Economists treat "humans" as "data" for processing, seeking to use "statistical laws" to suppress the "individuality" of data, as only in this way can any principles of economics beed. However, as the world enters the "individuality" era, phenomena that were once subject to rational "legislation" seem increasingly independent and rule-defying. In my view, the further humanity departs from the state of pure "food and clothing animals," the more prominent the "individuality" of humans becomes, making "individualization" increasingly the dominant social phenomenon. The characteristic issue of modern phenomena is the disappearance of "intersubjectivity" and how to rebuild it. Reason can no longer appear before phenomena as a legislator, because "reason" and "phenomena" are now the two ends of an "intersubjective" dialogue. Confronting phenomena thus becomes part of "dialogical ethics." I hope to use "confronting phenomena" to dissolve the metaphysical foundation of Western science—the "logicontology-theology"—and bring science back to the "dialogical logos." I am, of course, fully aware of how insignificant my efforts are. For thousands of years, the power of the sea lies in the logically recurring and vanishing waves. As for those colorful sailboards on the crest of the waves, they are merely fleeting "phenomena" that must eventually return to eternal solitude.
