ABSTRACT This paper will give an accurate definition and the most fundamental characteristics of philosophy, and analysis of people's past misunderstanding of philosophy. The definition of philosophy is the most abstract rational idea or theory. The characteristic of philosophy can be summed up in three words: fake, large, and empty. The building on the drawing is a fake one. The better the fake products are made, the better the real building will be. Matter is true, consciousness is fake. Compared with scientific concepts, philosophical concepts and theories have larger extension, even covering the whole universe and all aspects of things. Philosophy is the most abstract theory, so the concepts of philosophy have the emptiest connotation. The reason why the specific natural and social sciences need the support of philosophy is precisely because philosophy has this kind of characteristics of fake, large and empty. The philosophers study all problems in the hope of finding the root cause of all problems, that is, the Origin. Later, it is found that it is impossible to solve all problems in one way. To solve problems, we can only analyze them on a case-by-case basis. Philosophers are too wise to be wise. In the eyes of ancient Greek philosophers, philosophy should be the most holy, most supreme, most virtuous, wisest, most advanced, most rational, most capable, most complete and most refined knowledge. But the it is proved that this kind of philosophy does not exist at all. But the characteristic of philosophy of being the largest is not an illusion. The division of something into several aspects is neither in terms of spatial relations nor temporal relations, but in terms of different feelings. The large extension of philosophical research is not only reflected in the study of the space and time of whole universe, but also reflected in the study of all aspects of the various dimensions, covering all disciplines. The fourth manifestation of the largeness of philosophy is the depth of microscopic exploration. The fifth is the attention to the complexity and order of the system. The sixth is the understanding of consciousness. The seventh and the most important manifestation is to look at oneself. Philosophy offers the most rational view of the world.
Key Words: Philosophy; Ontology; Abstract; Extension; Consciousness; Rational

    3) Most virtuous. Philosophers, it seems, must be the most moral, the most selfless, ready to die for the cause at any time. In fact, philosophers are ordinary people, not only dependent on food, oil and salt, but also maybe very selfish. Philosophy can no longer blindly propagandize benevolence, justice and morality, and must finally take individualism as one of the ultimate standards of value.[4] 

    4) Most intelligent. Philosophy means to love wisdom in Greek, and philosophers seem to be the wisest. But philosophers are not the wisest, and philosophy does not make people the wisest. It is better to look at brain teasers to become intelligent. Philosophy can even make people silly, obsessed and being ridiculed. It is impossible for philosophers to solve the mystery of the beginning of the universe or to find the most elementary particles that make up the world. Such aspects can only be relied on physicists, philosophers are amateurs. If a philosopher can do this kind of work, he must not do it as a philosopher, he must do it as a scientist, using the knowledge of physics, and philosophy does not really help him much.

    5) The largest. Philosophers try to establish an all-inclusive theoretical system to solve all problems, but the theoretical system of philosophy can not be all-inclusive. Many disciplines have been separated from philosophy, which is nothing more than a general discipline like any other. But the object which philosophy studies is really the largest.

    6) Most advanced. Philosophers believe that philosophy can find the source of creation of the universe, such as water, fire, atoms, existence, Tao, etc. But then it turned out that none of these things could create the universe. Philosophy cannot create theories of other disciplines, either, it can only create a world of ideas that seems to exist and also seems not to exist. Philosophy could not provide a basis for other disciplines, Jiaying Chen said, “Modern science rather grew up in the continuous efforts to get rid of and oppose metaphysical principles.”[5] For the very beginning, philosophy wants to provide a holistic worldview. However, it has proved that a reasonable worldview can only be found after specific analysis and accumulation of enough specific theories.

    7) Most rational. It seems that philosophy can see everything and every method clearly. It is impossible. Philosophy cannot even be a guide to science. At most philosophy can give science some inspiration, which is not to every subject. Philosophy is not the most rational, science is more rational. Philosophy often lead to non-rational.

    8) Most capable. Philosophy seems to be the solution to all problems, the ultimate solution to practice. It seems that philosophy can make you devise strategies within the command tent and gain a decisive victory a thousand miles away. It is impossible. Philosophy is an abstract theory with little concern for practical problems.

    9) Most complete. Philosophy seems to be able to establish a unified theory, encompassing all disciplines, but all such efforts have failed. It seems that all disciplines came from philosophy, which is the mother of science, but it is not. Although some disciplines came from philosophy, they were eventually separated. They were originally subordinate to philosophy because they had no proper conception of the division of disciplines.
