I am particularly drawn to studying religion, culture, and philosophy. These areas allow me to explore the depths of human thought, belief, and the cultural frameworks that shape our world. Understanding these elements not only broadens my perspective but also deepens my understanding of human societies. This fascination with humanities forms the foundation for the following papers.

My paper on 'The Stories of Chuang Tzu' explores the philosophical and metaphysical themes presented in the ancient text, examining its impact on Eastern philosophy. In contrast, my analysis of 'Hegel's Understanding of History' looks at the German philosopher's perspective on the role of the 'World Spirit' in shaping historical events and the development of civilizations, offering insights into his unique approach to history and philosophy.
