Amidst the flowing light

The ancient philosophical maxim is "know thyself," and one of the keys to understanding oneself, and indeed life itself, is undoubtedly "time." The older one gets, the deeper the imprint of time on one's life. How many people live in the shackles of the past, are confused by present choices, and hesitate about the path ahead? If we ignore the temporal dimension of life, we will surely be unable to fully comprehend it. It can be said that this book is about both life and time. 

This advanced-level introduction to philosophy is another masterpiece by the author after "Beyond Fixed Views," exploring various aspects of life with "time" as its central theme. This book can be seen as a spiritual sequel to the previous work, continuing the spirit of challenging fixed views from a philosophical perspective. The essays are still titled with questions, aiming to question rather than provide definitive answers, hoping only to deconstruct the various possibilities of problems through philosophy and offer readers more directions for thought. The two books can be read independently, but when combined, examining them simultaneously from the perspectives of "space" and "time," they can achieve a comprehensive and integrated effect, exploring the diverse encounters and situations of life in the world more fully.
