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 appeared to be "useless" yet profoundly noble things. For this "useless" and "non-utilitarian" belief, they endured relentless exploration, experienced various trials of the soul, and were willing to pay any price, leaving behind a precious spiritual legacy for human civilization.
