(Philosophy) is a term coined by the ancient Greeks 2500 years ago. Philosophia in Greek is a verb-object phrase, which consists of Philo and sophia. Philein is a verb, meaning love and pursuit, and sophia is a noun, meaning wisdom. Philosophia means to love wisdom in Greek, and the things expressed and defined by this verb-object phrase are the cognitive activities of human beings in order to improve their cognitive thinking ability and become more intelligent.

Philosophy should be studied, not because it can provide any definite answer to the question, but because of the question itself; The reason is that these questions can expand our concept of all possible things, enrich our imagination in the mind and reduce dogmatic self-confidence, which may imprison the thinking function of the mind. In addition, especially through philosophical meditation, the mind will become great, so it can be combined with the universe that makes it the best. Philosophy can also be said to be the study of faith by reason and the summary of the law between man and nature by reason. Philosophy is the interpretation of the ultimate meaning of the world, which makes us understand and rationalize the world in our consciousness, thus providing us with spiritual comfort. Philosophy is also a tool to locate human self. Philosophy is not equal to bread, but philosophy is equivalent to honey when eating bread. The task of philosophy is to better guide people to correctly understand and transform the world.

The relationship between philosophy and life is an eternal topic in philosophy. On the one hand, the history of philosophy is a process closer to people's real life. Ancient philosophy pays attention to the object and the object world, while modern philosophy pays attention to people's understanding. Modern philosophy discusses the development of science and people's experience and feelings about life. This is a process in which philosophical problems are becoming more and more life-oriented and philosophical status is becoming more and more "civilian". On the other hand, the tree of life is evergreen, and the generative nature of life will inevitably break the philosophy of the previous era and the life of the later era, which requires philosophy to return to the life world. Therefore, whenever the times change, the explanatory power of existing philosophy can't contain life or life is beyond the framework of philosophical interpretation, there will be calls for philosophy to return to life. At present, there is a phenomenon that philosophy is out of touch with life in the study of Marxist philosophy in China.

The relationship between philosophy and life is a topic with rich connotations, which cannot be simply summarized as "philosophy comes from life and serves life".
