Features: This book collects various prefaces, postfaces, essays, outlines of speeches, records of lectures, and interview transcripts by the author. The content includes personal life narratives, academic experiences or reflections, comments and opinions on various views, issues, or trends of the time and present. They are of varying lengths and address diverse topics, ranging from casual selections to spontaneous remarks, making them seem more straightforward, intimate, and authentic. The author emphasizes micro-topics and empirical research in the book, advocating for "learning some formal logic and plane geometry" while opposing obscure and mystical writing styles and grand, vague discussions about the East and the West. Among them, discussions on poetry, subjectivity, "breaking the supreme status of the world," pluralism of methodologies, "Western form with Chinese content," and critiques of Marxism reflect and record certain historical traces and difficult steps over the past two or three decades from a personal micro-perspective, providing material for reflection and lament.
