    In fact, there is no definition of philosophy itself, the basis of philosophy I think is to linguize life, as long as you are willing to learn, there is nothing that is not good to learn, I recommend you to read Liu Yong's writing is very reasonable, but not boring, I am now reading his "Affirmation of Yourself", as well as "Create Yourself" and "Beyond Yourself" are also very well written, some books that are helpful to yourself, the following are some information about some introductory books on philosophy, the history of Western philosophy: Russell's History of Western Philosophy Hegel's Lectures on the History of Philosophy Tili's History of Western Philosophy Wendelban's History of Philosophy History of Chinese Philosophy History of Chinese Philosophy Ren Jiyu A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy Feng Youlan Qing Dynasty Academic*** Liang Qichao It's not for graduate school entrance examinations, you don't need to memorize by rote, just remember the names of people, it's okay, if you can remember the country era, it's better, you can remember how much is how much, when the road sign, the road starts from here. Wendelban's History of Philosophy is more difficult and may require reading many philosophical books to understand its flavor, but it is said to be the most admired by professional philosophy teachers, and the author is a neo-Kantian.

    Russell's History of Western Philosophy, probably the best to read, I recommend it, but the author also has his biases, but this is unavoidable, any philosopher's things, there are prejudices, you have to get used to prejudices. The history of Chinese philosophy organized by Marxism is even more prejudiced, but leave him alone and just remember the names of the people.

    Or I would like to recommend these books: "Mathematics - The Loss of Certainty", "A Brief History of Time", "The Universe in the Shell", "What is Life", "Philosophical Studies", "Thinking in Complexity", "Does God Roll the Dice: A History of Quantum Physics", "Popular Lectures on the Theory of Relativity", "Western Economics", "Evolutionary Theory", "The Interpretation of Dreams", "The Story of Psychology", "World History", "Fermat's Law".

    I don't know why you studied philosophy? Is it for graduate school or is it purely an interest. If it's an interest, I think the first thing to do is to find a book that can bring out your interest, a book that vibrates with your soul.

    Each of us begins to enjoy a class, a book, a direction mostly because of a certain teacher, a certain writer, or something else that resonates with our souls. What makes me feel that my soul matches is Mr. Zhou Guoping's books, I read them several times during the summer vacation of my sophomore year, and I still don't understand many of them, but after reading them a few times, I clearly understand some of the things I have always wanted to know.

    Personally, I don't think there is a definitive conclusion in philosophy, and if you start from interest, I think reading some brief history of philosophy directly will kill your interest, because those are just theories, not life, and have no internal motivation, let alone what the author wants to express.

    It is also recommended that you watch Uncle Shi Tiesheng's works, for example, if you revisit "Me and the Altar of Earth", the feeling is different. Everything in the textbooks is abridged, and the ultimate thinking about God is not what we understand in high school. After reading it again, I became more and more unable to control myself and cried, because of my mother's love, but also because of fate, because of God and his love that I did not understand as a perfect human being.

    Anyway, we must really touch our real soul, not those cold theories, materialism or idealism.

    When we have resonance with these things, we can read some "A Brief History of Philosophy" and find what we are interested in reading, preferably from abroad, so that you can slowly know what those theories are talking about, what they understand about our lives and our inner nature, and how to better understand ourselves! I'll add to you if you have any questions.

    I believe that those who have studied philosophy know that philosophy is basically the history of philosophy, and the best way to start is to start from the history of Chinese philosophy or the history of Western philosophy.

    If you want to be more professional, you can read the West, like Wendelban's "Course on the History of Philosophy" and Hegel's "Lectures on the History of Philosophy".

    If you are a Chinese philosopher, as a Chinese, it is easier to handle, and the history of Chinese philosophy at Peking University is the first choice.

    I think that when studying Chinese philosophy, we should start with traditional Chinese philosophy. Therefore, I think the introductory book for learning Chinese philosophy should be Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.

    1. The difference between Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy

    Logically speaking, there is no philosophy in China, and China should be said to be Taoism or ethics since ancient times. But there are many philosophical sentences in ancient Chinese history, and there is no complete philosophy. Because the concept of philosophy began to circulate in the West, it is said that there are specific concepts and systematic theories in Western philosophy.

    In China, it is not ancient China that focused on the cultivation of the inner beauty of the human heart, so ancient Chinese philosophy is relatively abstract.

    2. The Tao Te Ching advocates the Tao and the law of nature

    3. The Tao Te Ching is rich in content

    Tao Te Ching can be said to be one of the books on the origin of Chinese culture, and it can also comprehensively understand the ideas of ancient Chinese culture. Therefore, to understand the philosophy of a country, we should start from the source of its culture.

    To sum up, I personally feel that Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching is a representative work of traditional Chinese fragmentary philosophy. It is also a mountain that foreign philosophers cannot avoid if they want to understand Chinese philosophy.

    Studying Chinese philosophy, such as the Tao Te Ching, and then classical Chinese literature such as the Analects, can be accessed, and it does not necessarily have to be restricted to certain books.

In fact, there is no need to take the ranking very seriously, as long as you listen well in class every day, go home and do your homework well, and ask the teacher in time if you don't understand. It's not good not to want to study, but always wanting to study will make you invisibly increase the pressure, treat exams and studies with a normal heart, I hope you can step down, study hard, don't always compare with other classmates, as long as you feel that you are better than one time at a time, then your grades will slowly improve.
