Features: The "National Academic Conference on the Present and Future of French Philosophy," held in Hangzhou in April 2004, was a review of French philosophy research in China. It was the first national academic conference in China where experts and scholars focused on French philosophy as a common topic. The conference's themes covered major issues in modern and contemporary French philosophy, with a broad discussion scope that included specialized topics on the history of philosophy, problems, and schools of thought, as well as extending to key figures in contemporary French philosophy. Based on the relevance of the discussed issues, the editors categorized the selected articles into three major groups: General Topics and Language Issues, Body and the Other, and Modernity and Postmodernity. This categorization ensures a focused yet open approach, facilitating readers' comprehension and encouraging further reflection and exploration. To some extent, this collection of essays reflects the highest achievements and standards of contemporary Chinese research on French philosophy, helping to advance the field toward new heights.
