1.Introduction: Chance Your World View
The objective world is very complicated. With the progress of human civilization, people's knowledge is becoming more and more complicated. However, people's limited ability makes it difficult to process and use complex cognition, and requires simple and orderly cognition. Philosophy is a kind of simple and orderly understanding, a highly generalized abstraction of the complex world and cognition. The most abstract generalizations of the world and knowledge form the world view.
You maybe have a healthy worldview, but it is not necessarily scientific, complete and rational, and your worldview may not stand up to reflection and questioning. Some people have a negative, dark, unhealthy, or even reactionary view of the world. The development of rational theory cannot be achieved overnight. The worldview is a system constructed in the subjective world. In the process of cognitive development, it is impossible to form only one world view, and it is inevitable that many world views coexist. These world views inevitably have their pros and cons, they compete with each other, and many are eliminated. Each of the surviving worldviews has some valuable elements that can be more in line with human interests when they are combined.
Worldviews include metaphysical worldview and physical worldview. The interpretation of the world by physics, history and general evolution theory are physical worldviews, while the ontology of philosophy studies the metaphysical worldview. The physical worldview is objective and real, while the metaphysical worldview is not objective or real, but more valuable and useful.
Plato once offered us a metaphysical view of the world, which was wrong, but had some merit, and had held a prominent place in history. Whitehead said, the whole history of philosophy was just footnotes to Plato.[1] Hegel later developed a metaphysical worldview, which was quickly abandoned. Now everyone thinks that only the scientific physical worldview is correct, but this paper will prove that the value of this worldview is very limited, we need a more valuable metaphysical worldview.
