Features: This book is a theoretical academic work that contemplates philosophical issues from a metaphysical perspective. Against the backdrop of the intellectual journeys of Chinese and Western philosophy, with genuine existence as its point of reference, the author explores issues such as ontology, axiology, ethics, and methodology from an integrated and interconnected viewpoint. By examining in detail the value dimension of existence, cognition, existence and wisdom, existence and methodology, the metaphysical implications of language, the ontological significance of beauty, the relationship between morality and existence, everyday existence and ultimate concerns, and freedom within the metaphysical perspective, the book delves into their common foundation—the inquiry and grasp of genuine existence. It clarifies the multiple dimensions and implications of existence itself, highlighting the character of philosophy in seeking its "universality."
