First, expand the amount of knowledge.
People who read philosophy books are basically exposed to the history of natural science, art, music, culture and thought ...
It makes you a person with a wide range of knowledge, connotation and substance, and improves your internal quality at once. -Ha ha, a little exaggerated. But it does have this advantage. Of course, the connotation and accomplishment can't be cultivated in a short time, and it's not just to read a few philosophical history books. Frequent contact will naturally understand the mystery.
second, exercise your thinking and enhance your thinking.
People who have been engaged in philosophy research for a long time, or who have been studying philosophy, will have a more rigorous and thorough thinking, strong logical ability and a more comprehensive, in-depth and agile view of problems. Of course, this is only relative. In addition, the study of philosophy depends on a certain talent and dedication.
The book of philosophy says: Philosophy is the knowledge of wisdom.
That's true. Generally speaking, philosophy has the first and second functions. It certainly gives people the impression of being smart and knowledgeable to meet such people.
Learning philosophy is actually very useful and helpful in some interpersonal communication, parties and interviews.
(as for the professional "philosophy", let's not talk about it. If we do, it's actually quite difficult to understand, and it's still unclear. Because philosophy itself is like this. It lies in thinking deeply about the problem, not in the only answer. What is required is that people use philosophical methods and philosophical thinking to think about realistic problems. )
The "philosophy" or philosophical things that ordinary people are exposed to are different from the professional philosophy.
What most people think of as philosophy can actually be understood as people's thinking about life or meticulous observation and summary of common phenomena in life. For example, people often say, "Wow, this sentence is so classic". At present, many TV dramas and online literary works often make people regard some of them as "philosophy of life" and widely spread and apply them. Those statements can be regarded as philosophy of life, and some people may call them grass-roots philosophy.
defects in philosophy?
I haven't been able to say that philosophy has any defects. So far, all I feel is the happiness brought by philosophy. Philosophy involves too many subjects, which is very interesting, just like opening an encyclopedia or a museum door for you.
Some people think that philosophy is an idealistic thing, but I don't think so.
Philosophy, though speculative in ideology, is all about thinking about practical problems.
