Moving beyond the view of the only truth

★Chen Jiaying's selected works from 2007 to 2018.
★A new work after "What is a Good Life", thinking carefully, expressing these thoughts carefully, calling on people who love to think to think together.
In times of crisis and conflict, how can philosophy help us reflect on life? "We don't need consensus so much as we need to learn how to coexist with those who lack it."
This book is a collection of speeches, interviews and comments made by Mr. Chen Jiaying between 2007 and 2018.
There are different paths. There were different paths in the past, there are different paths now, and there will be different paths in the future. The important question is not to find the single path, but how these different paths resonate, how they communicate, and how they struggle with each other. If you insist that philosophy seeks a single system of truth, then I have to say that philosophy is dead.
Philosophy, especially today's philosophy, is not missionary, not preaching from the wise to the foolish. What we seek first is not to make others understand, but to understand ourselves.
"What I personally want is to think seriously, express these thoughts seriously, and call on people who love to think to think together."
