The most basic problem of survival for some people.
-
The main reason is that the way of thinking of China and the West is different, the West emphasizes analysis, and China emphasizes summarization, so most of the Chinese philosophy is empirical summary, and there are many things defined and edified in philosophy, and there are few logical and coherent analysis, so Chinese philosophy likes to summarize everything in the world into a simple "Tao" and "reason", and some philosophical views are put forward by one or several outstanding talents, and then a large group of people interpret and improve, so a school with obvious teacher inheritance is established; Westerners are good at analyzing, so many philosophical disciplines have emerged, and the direction of research is also very different, and over time, the interpretation of philosophy is also very different. In addition, China's philosophical wisdom is the most secularism and pragmatism (which is different from Dewey's pragmatism, but it is based on the current social needs, and there are fewer advanced ideas); Western philosophy is relatively academic, focusing on prophecy and revelation. The above is purely a personal opinion, the kid is only shallow in learning, and the theory is full of loopholes, so I sincerely ask for your forgiveness.

Ancient Western philosophy mainly focused on the content of the first aspect of the basic problems of philosophy, while the focus of modern Western philosophical research has shifted to the content of the second aspect of the basic problems of philosophy. Ancient Chinese philosophers mainly focused on the relationship between heaven and man, name and reality, form and god, knowledge and action, mind and matter, reason and qi, etc., reflecting the basic views and views of the Chinese on nature, society and life.
PS: The basic problem of philosophy is the question of the relationship between thinking and being. The first aspect refers to the question of what is the primordial principle, and the second aspect is whether thinking and existence are identical, that is, whether thinking can correctly recognize existence.

China pays attention to doing things, while the West pays attention to itself. Of course, focusing doesn't mean not including anything else.

Summary. There is a certain difference between the history of Western philosophy and Western wisdom. The history of Western philosophy refers to the precipitation of the ideas of a large number of philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes, starting from ancient Greece, and forming a complete philosophical system.
Western wisdom, on the other hand, is not limited to philosophical thinking, but also includes science, art, literature, religion, and other fields. It may be said that philosophy is a small part of wisdom and is only a manifestation of wisdom. The relationship between the two is complex, but both are important parts of Western culture.

I'm still a little confused, can you be more detailed?
The history of Western philosophy is a complete philosophical body, while Western wisdom includes science, art, literature, and religion, both of which are important parts of Western culture.

This course is not only a copy of Western philosophical wisdom, but also Western philosophy.
Learn from the exchange of Chinese philosophy with us, and let us also better understand the wisdom of Chinese philosophy. I never had my own thoughts before, and I didn't know what to do, but now I feel that some thoughts have been changed and sublimated. I've benefited a lot
In this course, Mr. Lang gave many examples to explain Western philosophical wisdom for us: from Stephen Chow to Bruce Lee, from China's Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi to foreign Socrates and Kant. I used to think that philosophy was obscure, but now I find it quite interesting, and there are highlights in every class.
So much so that now when students ask which teacher's class to choose, we will recommend Lang Qi's class.

Important perspectives in Western philosophy
1. The concept of time and space.
The essence of the concept of space-time is the length of time that can be observed by man, which depends on the size of space, so the speed of light is meaningless to human beings.
Example: The contradiction between the speed of light and immediacy, and the light we can see, is not instantaneous sunlight, people can never see immediate light, and the view of time and space is a direct manifestation of revealing the difference between external things and handy things.
2. Monadism and predetermined harmony.
This idea originated in Parmenides, who said that "being is a sphere", and that the manifestations of existence are different and the reality is the same. The list does not open the window, but it is predestined to be harmonious, and everything has its form and order. For example, people do not interact directly, but the forms and doctrines of human interaction exist and apply.
Note: We need to understand the reasons for the emergence of philosophical problems and find corresponding correspondence in our own lives. In the case of Leibniz's "Why don't monads open windows", what he tells us is that "what we are in contact with is the being in the world as we understand it".
For example, when I shake someone's hand, there is a predetermined harmony between my handshake and his handshake, and people can't perceive things that they don't perceive. And what is not perceived (the mind is also a kind of perception), we think that it is real nothingness, but does this kind of thing exist? We can't know.
That is, what we know is limited to our own perception, and each person has his own perceived world and a predetermined value structure for the common. People can deal with what they perceive, but not directly with others.
3. Concept Lifestyle.
Causality is a branch phenomenon of medieval philosophy, and in modern times, it has been fully spread out and has become the way of life of modern people, that is, the way of life of objectification and reality.
4. Rationality and structure.
It is characteristic of modern philosophy to see the world clearly with knowledge (reason) and then to say that the world is rational (structural).

Russell's History of Western Philosophy is suitable for readers who want to have a preliminary understanding of Western philosophy, Russell has won the Nobel Prize for this book, the previous philosophy books are more difficult to understand, we are relatively unfamiliar with this era, if you want to go deeper from the beginning of modern philosophy, then read one: (American) Morton White's "The Age of Analysis", for different philosophical schools and philosophers to have a clear line of thought analysis, you can understand what kind of philosophical work Western philosophers are engaged in, In this way, you can move from a vague philosophy of impressions to the substantive questions of philosophy, and you will be able to reflect on our moral life and spiritual phenomena on the same ground as philosophers.
I think it's the relationship between chickens and eggs. Philosophy is the chicken, science is the egg, and the egg gives birth to the chicken. >>>More
First of all, Western civilization is not a more advanced civilizationAt least not culturally. Taoist thought is represented by Huang Lao and Lao Zhuang, and philosophical thought is centered on Tao, the relationship between the universe and human beings, in the Western philosophical system, if you have to say a philosophy similar to Taoism, Taoism and nature, then choose the three sages of ancient Greece! But even Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle have not gone as far as Lao Tzu in their exploration of the universe and life. >>>More
