Foreign Philosophers' Understanding and Definition of Philosophy

1. Russell

Russell, the British philosopher, said, "So far as I understand the word, it is something between theology and science. It consists, like theology, in human reflection on those things which have hitherto eluded the certainty of scientific knowledge; and it appeals, like science, to human reason rather than to authority, whether the authority of tradition or of revelation.

All exact knowledge (according to Russell) belongs to science; all dogmas involving more than exact knowledge belong to theology. Between theology and science there is a no-man's land that is attacked by both sides, and this no-man's land is philosophy.

2. Plato

Plato pointed out that "thauma" (wonder) is the mark of the philosopher, and it is the beginning of philosophy. Plato said with deep meaning: "iris" (rainbow, rainbow goddess, Zeus's messenger) is "thauma" (surprise) of the daughter, and there is no mistaking its lineage. The "iris" (rainbow) communicated the will of God and the gospel to man, and the philosophy was born of wonder.

Under its gaze, everything sheds all its mundane coverings and reveals its true nature. In so doing, it reveals itself as a truly liberating force.

3. Aristotle

Aristotle said in the Metaphysics that it is in the nature of all men to seek knowledge. All men begin philosophical thinking by wonder, at first at what is unintelligible around them, and then gradually advancing to questions about more significant things, such as about changes in the phases of the moon, about changes in the sun and the stars, and about the creation of all things. One who is perplexed and amazed becomes conscious of his ignorance.

4. Hegel

Hegel believed that philosophy is a special movement of thought, and that philosophy is the pursuit of the absolute. "Philosophy has the Absolute as its object; it is a special way of thinking" - Hegel, "Little Logic".

5, Novalis

Eighteenth-century German famous romantic poet Novalis (1771-1801) on the definition of philosophy: philosophy is the mother of all sciences, philosophical activities in the nature of the original is the spirit of the return of the countryside, all the impulse to look for the spiritual home with the impulse of nostalgia everywhere in the activities of the spirit of the home can be called philosophy.

6. Albert Einstein

Einstein talked about philosophy in this way: if science is understood as the pursuit of knowledge in its most general and extensive form, then philosophy can clearly be considered the mother of all sciences.
