Main characteristics
First, it's a dialectical approach to thinking.
Dialectics is a statement and understanding of existing things, at the same time, containing a negative understanding of existing things, and that everything should be divided into two parts, against unilateralism and absolutism.
Second, it is a critical approach to thinking.
Dialectics does not worship anything, it is critical and revolutionary in nature. Thus, philosophical thinking is essentially a critical reflection that does not blind authority.
Third, it is the practice of the first approach to thinking. He emphasizes that the correct understanding of the individual comes from social practice, the correct understanding of objective laws cannot be completed at a time, social practice develops, human awareness of thought must constantly move forward, practice is a test of the correctness of standards. Fourth, it is a transcendental approach to thinking. He opposes empiricism, vulgar approach to practice, replication of the past and instant successful experience as an absolute truth, he calmly considers things in the objective world and all actions in human experience with a high degree of abstraction, generalization and logic.
In general, the philosophical approach is not to give people a lot of concrete knowledge or how many concrete problems they solve, its fundamental role is to give people the right rational way of thinking, to develop and develop the ability to think, so that people can establish the right views on life and values, to master the right ways of knowing the world and transforming the world, creating a huge momentum in social practice. Popular expression Philosophical thinking is essentially rational thinking.
Life is philosophy everywhere, and as long as you think, your thinking must be philosophy, simply because the categories of philosophy are different, and you yourself do not know what kind of philosophical system you belong to. Therefore, if you want to consciously think philosophically, you first need to understand philosophy, understand philosophy, understand the system and logical principles of philosophy and apply it to practical thinking. Thus, you will use philosophical thinking.
Practical significance Philosophical thinking teaches us that we must look at philosophy, problems and the world from the perspective of development rather than the thoughts we accept.
This requires us to think hard in learning, to move our brains, to discover imperfect details, to communicate more with teachers and students, to achieve critical learning and growth in thinking. In general, the philosophical approach is not to give people a lot of concrete knowledge or how many concrete problems they solve, its fundamental role is to give people the right rational way of thinking, to develop and develop the ability to think, so that people can establish the right views on life and values, to master the right ways of knowing the world and transforming the world, creating a huge impulse in social practice. It is like an ancient Chinese fable that taught people to fish.
Dialectical thinking is the application of material dialectics in thinking, and the categories, points of view, and laws of material dialectics are fully applicable to dialectical thinking. Dialectical thinking is the reflection of objective dialectics in thinking and the connection and development of viewpoints.
The law of unity of opposites, the law of quality change and the law of negation of negation are the fundamental laws of material dialectics. Only by adhering to the dialectical approach to thinking can a leap from the sensual to the rational be achieved. When working with sensual material it is necessary to use such methods as induction and deduction, analysis and synthesis, abstraction and specificity.
In addition, persistence in dialectical thinking is important for building a scientific system focused on social practice.
