This book is mainly concerned with elaborating an account of the
unique theoretical essence and activities of philosophy. What
manner of civilization should modern humans forge? On what
developmental path should a nation embark? What lifestyle should
each individual choose? These are the most fundamental issues of
our time. Profoundly implicit in the choices outlined above is a
deeper question: What are the criteria of choice? An examination of
these criteria is a reflection on the premises constituting
thought, or a critique of the premises underlying thought. Using a
"critique of the premises underlying thought" as the basic idea and
hermeneutic principle in philosophy will open a wider theoretical
space for contemporary philosophy so as to avoid the predicament of
being "pseudo-scientific" or "pseudo-artistic." It will also
present contemporary philosophy with a realistic path of
development for the task of reflecting on the criteria of choice.
This book seeks to formulate concrete philosophical arguments for a
critique of the basic beliefs, logic, modes, concepts, and
philosophical ideas which constitute thought, with the aim of
demonstrating the vigorous self-critique and inexhaustible
theoretical space found in philosophical development. This book
provides a new principle of interpretation for understanding
philosophy and, in turn, uses this principle to develop a critique
of the premises underlying thought, thereby furthering the
contemporary development of philosophy. This book encompasses a
critique of the premises underlying thought, which mainly includes
the basic beliefs, logic, modes, concepts, and philosophical ideas
constituting thought. Such a critique should comprise five aspects:
First, the basic beliefs constituting thought propose a critique of
the identity of thought and being; second, the basic logic
constituting thought refers to a critique of the formal,
intensional, and practical logic of thought; third, the basic modes
constituting thought denote a critique of the basic modes by which
humans comprehend the world, including commonsense, religion, art,
and science; fourth, the basic concepts constituting thought entail
a critique centering on being, the world, history, truth, value,
and other basic concepts; and finally, the philosophical ideas
constituting thought indicate a critique of philosophy itself. A
critique aligned on these five aspects will provide a general
philosophical overview of the premise critique of thought.
