Examine the traditional concept of development from a philosophical perspective?

The most profound limitation of the traditional development view is that the basic categories such as development and modernization are recognized and widely used as some self-evident and transcendental premise, but the logical presupposition and legitimacy of these categories themselves are forgotten, resulting in a lack of dialectical critical attitude towards development itself. This is that people inevitably fall into various misunderstandings in the development model: First, they think that development is a free and non-contradictory process, and mistakenly regard some means and stage goals of development as the ultimate value of development. Secondly, the definition of the connotation and extension of social development and progress takes the position of objectivism and positivism, mainly from the objective scale, taking the economic growth rate, industrialization degree, GDP and other materialized indicators as the reference system of development, thus ignoring some problems of human development. Therefore, to establish a correct concept of development, it is necessary to break through the above-mentioned biggest limitations of the traditional concept of development, and first scientifically answer the philosophical question of what is the symbol of development. The sign of development is to judge what is the low-level humanistic value and the essential needs of people.
