就着640楼哲学,我问了孩子们,他们认为的哲学是什么?
老大说,philosophy is a kind of system of belief, the way we are trying to understand the world surrounding us.
二娃说,philosophy is another form of art.
因为早上时间比较紧,我们没有展开讨论,二娃说,我们下午在继续。
于是,我就自己先理解一下。在我的思维中,哲学是一种看待世界,认知世界的思路和方法,所以百子诸家,从老子,庄子到孔子,我认为都是属于哲学范畴,都是他们解惑的思维方式。我甚至认为,佛教更是哲学,多过于宗教。
在我的记忆中,古希腊的亚里士多德,柏拉图都是他们那个时代和区域的哲学家,就和老庄周差不多,都是彼此从自己角度总结出来,对他们所处的世界的认知。

A definition of philosophy is notoriously difficult. However, it is important, for anyone writing or training about doing philosophy, first of all to spell out what they mean by it so that the reader has some idea about what kind of philosophy they will encounter and, when training people to facilitate philosophy, to provide criteria.
The Philosophy Foundation’s account attempts to capture something of its spirit, structure, content, method, aims and hopes, but our account is inextricably personal to us and culturally specific. So, consistent with the philosophical spirit we’ve tried to illustrate here, one might wonder whether philosophy is – at least in addition to what we have said it is – something other than what we have said it is; to accept our account uncritically would not be very philosophical, after all.
Philosophy is a way of thinking about certain subjects such as ethics, thought, existence, time, meaning and value. That 'way of thinking' involves 4 Rs: responsiveness, reflection, reason and re-evaluation. The aim is to deepen understanding. The hope is that by doing philosophy we learn to think better, to act more wisely, and thereby help to improve the quality of all our lives.
复杂的说,很复杂,没有一个完整的肯定,不变的统一答案,那本身就已经偏离哲学的意义。简单的说,是一种思维方式。
