On the Historical Background, Connotation and Path of "Philosophy of life"
Su Yongsheng
Abstract:Instrumental rationality, as a way of thinking that dominates the development of modern society, has led society into the predicament of value crisis, moral crisis and spiritual crisis. In the face of this dilemma, modern philosophy has been given a new mission, that is, to advocate the "philosophisation of life". The "philosophy of life" includes the "realisation of life","art of life", "transcendence of life" and "morality of life". The realization of the "philosophisation of life" involves three aspects. Firstly, it is related to the cultivation of the heart, namely, "low desire", "correcting the mind", "cultivating the qi", "heart meditation" and "meditation on the heart". Secondly, it contains the "elimination of vulgarity" and the "elimination of obscurantism".The third aspect refers to aesthetic education.
Key words:Instrumental rationality; philosophisation of life; realisation of life; art of life;transcendence of life; moralisation of life
