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
The seventh and the most important expression of the largeness of philosophy is to look at oneself. The study of consciousness is not equal to the study of oneself, it can be the study of other people's consciousness. "Philosophy is reflective." Collingwood said, "The philosophic mind does not simply consider an object. When it thinks about any object, it is always thinking about its own thoughts about that object. Philosophy may therefore also be called thought of the second order, thought of thought."[8]
We often refer to the subjective world and the objective world. What is the relationship between these two worlds? It is not a relationship of separating from each other, but a dialectical unity relationship: the subjective world is a part of the objective world, and the objective world is also a part of the subjective world.[9] So the world studied by scientists is imcomplete. Only philosophers can see the whole world. Because scientists only know to see the world, only philosopher know to see himself at the same time when seeing the world, know that there is subjective element in the understanding of the world. It is not the hardest to know the universe, the hardest part is knowing yourself. So science can never replace philosophy, the core problem of philosophy is the relationship between matter and consciousness. Scientists cannot explain many paradoxes or understand dialectical logic without seeing themselves. Many disciplines of science are based on axioms that can only be explained when we see ourselves with philosophical eyes.
In short, philosophy has the largest scope of research, so it can provide people with the most complete world outlook and the most rational belief, and give people the feeling of suddenly enlightened when they climb up and look far. What's more, it is only philosophy that can provide the ultimate standard of truth and the ultimate standard of value.
After many entrepreneurs and artists have struggled in their own fields for a long time, they often change their world outlook, have some philosophical reflection and obtain or hope to obtain some grand and abstract truths. But most people's reflections are not thorough, rigorous and often contradictory. It is the philosopher's job to reflect most thoroughly, to criticize constantly, to find the most abstract and thorough theory.
