To understand the difference between traditional Chinese philosophy and Western philosophy, we have to start with Confucius and Socrates, because the ideas of these two men represent the philosophical ideas of the East and the West to the greatest extent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

If you talk about Chinese philosophy, if you don't start with Confucius, you don't say anything, or you are talking nonsense.

In China, Confucius represents the main vein of traditional Chinese culture and is the founder of traditional Chinese philosophy.

Although there are many people who disagree, including myself, no matter how much you oppose the philosophical ideas of Confucius, no matter how much you dislike Confucianism, in the end you still have to admit that Confucianism was once the most brilliant and influential study in ancient China, and Confucianism once had a glorious history. At the same time, you have to admit that Confucianism has guided the thinking of Chinese people for more than 2,000 years, and to this day, Confucianism is still the mainstream consciousness in the thinking of the Chinese people.

Before the emergence of Confucius in ancient China, the ideological world was a world of mixed and disorderly thoughts, and there was no unified standard for ideological propositions and ********, but since the emergence of Confucius, the ideological circles have undergone tremendous changes, and political propositions and guidelines have been tilted towards one voice, and the ideological consciousness in the middle and late Han Dynasty has basically been completely unified to Confucianism. The situation of Baijia Kanchen must be over. The unity of ideology and proposition pointed out the direction for the political road and also paved the way for the feudal civilization of more than 1,000 years in ancient China.

This is the great contribution made by Confucius to the Chinese nation.

Confucius laid the foundation of Chinese values and world view, and lit a guiding light for traditional Chinese civilization.

Socrates, like Confucius, was the founder of Western philosophy, before the emergence of Socrates, there was no clear boundary between the philosophical community and natural science in ancient Greece, it was Socrates who drew a clear line between philosophy and natural science, separated philosophy from the chaotic cultural atmosphere, and formed an independent discipline, thus laying the tone of Western philosophy and laying the foundation for the entire Western philosophy in the later period. No matter how much you disagree with Socrates' ideas, you can only walk under his ideas, including all Western thinkers.

Socrates' philosophical thought navigated the ship of Western civilization and marched towards world civilization.

The ideas of the two of them constitute two completely different dialectical methods of world philosophical thought, one is the Western philosophical thought compiled by Socrates, that is, the development of things in Western philosophy is an individual of "opposites and unity", and there is only a relationship between existence and non-existence. One is the traditional Chinese philosophy compiled by Confucius, which believes that the development of things is "opposite and unified" individuals, things are divided into yin and yang, and the two poles exist and are mutually exclusive, only you have me, and I have your relationship.

In ancient China, there was no such thing as philosophy, and the word "philosophy" was defined by the modern Japanese.

In traditional Chinese culture, there is only the theory of Yi Li, and the Chinese believe that philosophy is the doctrine of reason, a study that specializes in the study of change, and a study that delves into the roots of thought.

In the eyes of the Chinese, philosophy is still a reasonable science.

Long before Confucius, people's thoughts followed the path of the I Ching, each putting forward its own ideological proposition.

Since the advent of Confucius, the world of thought has been unified to the idea that "the development of things is the individual who is opposed to each other." Since the Han Dynasty, no matter how complete and excellent your ideological propositions are, you must also walk under the idea that "the development of things is opposites and unified", no matter how the wind and rain change, how the dynasties change, Confucianism is only expanding, but it has never shrunk.

It was not until modern times that the ideological consciousness of the Chinese underwent a fundamental change, and began to use "Socrates' unified Western philosophical thought, that is, Western philosophy believes that the development of things is an individual of opposites and unity, and there is only a relationship between existence and non-existence." This ideological system unifies the thinking of the Chinese people to the idea that "the development of things is the opposite and the unified."

The idea that "things are opposites and unity" is a foreign product, which comes from the perception of the development of things in Western philosophy.

Western philosophy is a typical 1+1=2 philosophy, which is a philosophy of logical pragmatism.

Western philosophy is the product of a combination of logical positivism and Western pragmatism. In the eyes of Westerners, existence is existence, and non-existence is non-existence. The actual verifies the nothing, and the real verifies the false.

Westerners only delve into the truth of existence and non-existence, change and immutability, separate the mind from the matter, and clearly divide the difference between the soul and the body in anthropology, and clearly distinguish the different existences of idealism and materialism in the cultural system.

From this point of view, there is an essential difference between Western philosophy and Eastern science, Westerners start from Socrates' philosophical point of view, and look at the internal structure and external conditions in the process of development of things separately, while Chinese start from the thought of Confucius and regard the internal structure and external conditions of the development of things as a system.

Therefore, you can see that Western psychology is fundamentally different from Chinese numerology, Western psychology and Chinese numerology belong to the same philosophical category, but Western psychology focuses on the study of idealism, because psychology only looks at the problem in the absence of the soul. Chinese numerology, on the other hand, focuses on existence and rationality, believing that existing things have regularity, and that people have left their names and geese have left their voices as Chinese's understanding of the development of things. Therefore, Chinese numerology believes that the development of things must have its regularity, and regularity is the inevitable appearance of the development of things. Therefore, from this point of view, numerology belongs to the category of materialism, and psychology reflects more of an idealist way of thinking.

Psychology evaluates the consequences of a thing through the laws generated by telepathy, while numerology intuitively analyzes the laws of the development of things, and predicts the possible consequences through the laws and phenomena that have appeared.

It can be seen from this that Western philosophy is to separate the opposing phenomena from the unified phenomena in the development process of things, and Westerners believe that the development of things only has the relationship between existence and non-existence, and from the essence of human beings, Westerners believe that human beings are different from other animals, human beings are human beings, and human ideology is different from the ideological consciousness of other animals, and it is higher than other animals and exists independently. Therefore, Westerners believe that the existence of human beings must be related to natural existence, that the existence of material conditions is the existence of their own independent qualities, and has no direct relationship with the soul, that the soul is an independent existence of another quantum existence, and that when the material foundation and the spiritual world exist independently, the matter is the matter, and the soul is the soul. When the material base is united with the spiritual world, animals with souls are born. For example, human beings, human life is the embodiment of the unity of the material foundation and the spiritual world, and when a person dies, the body is just the body, and the soul does not exist.

However, the traditional Chinese culture does not think so, Chinese believes that heaven and man are unified individuals, man is heaven, heaven is man, and it is an individual who is an opposing and unified existence. It is difficult to understand this, simply say that the Chinese believe that there are two sides of yin and yang in the development of things, such as a coin has a negative side and a positive side, the negative side and the front are unified individuals, only the yin and yang contract and yin and yang are separated, but the whole is an opposing and unified object, and then simply speaking, the Chinese believe that the object and the soul are unified individuals, and the spirit and matter are mixed individuals, such as people, man and heaven are individuals who are united with heaven and man, and there is a unified natural law between man and material conditions. Therefore, in the hearts of the Chinese, what is on earth and what is in heaven, the soul and matter are confused.

Modern Chinese ideological circles began to leap from the single view that the development of things is "opposition and unity" to the view of "opposition and unity" in the development of things, believing that the "existence" of matter is the only criterion for demonstrating the development of things, and putting the existence of matter in the first place in the theory of practice.

In layman's terms, it is a singular belief that the material basis is the only way to verify the development of things. Starting from this viewpoint, the materialists theoretically abandoned the metaphysical mode of thinking, and built the ideological architecture of New China on the ideological basis of materialism, which pointed out the direction of China's new nationalist movement and laid the foundation for New China's politics, philosophy, and military.

From a materialist point of view, materialism abolishes people's knowledge of non-existence, soul, and nothingness, and rejects all false idealistic worldviews that transcend reality. The idea of personality is based on the materialist thinking framework, and the political thought and superstructure are based on the Western philosophy that existence is existence, non-existence is non-existence, and practical verification of truth, and the metaphysical mode of thinking with the I Ching as the theoretical framework is abandoned. So China's neo-nationalist movement was ultimately successful.

Historically, there are not many people who can use political means to advocate ideas, and even fewer people can successfully eliminate an idea and establish a new one, although this kind of ideology is based on other people's ideology, but if you have ideas but no political means, then no matter how good your ideas are, they will not be able to transform them into reality.

If you have a strong political skill, but you lack the cognitive interface of "love and wisdom" to understand the world, you will still not be able to transform your ideals into reality without ideological guidance.

If you look at the Middle East today, the peoples of the Middle East were devastated by the Crusades as early as the 11th and 13th centuries due to the long-term conflict of ideas and cultures. This is still the case today.

The years of war in the Middle East are still raging and continuous because of the struggle of culture and ideas. The ideological struggle between Christianity and ****** religion remains the source of the war.

The Chinese can smash their own thoughts, firmly and courageously bury the old traditional ideas, redefine all Chinese ideological concepts, and re-establish a completely new ideological consciousness, which fully benefits from the great talents and strategies of the pioneers.
