Fan Wenyi:

There has always been a misunderstanding that philosophy is only a metaphysical abstract statement of truth, its truth and value are questionable, and its social function can also be replaced by other specialized disciplines. Under this understanding, philosophy seems useless and redundant, but it turns out that this view is extremely one-sided. With more and more new disciplines separated from philosophy, they become more specialized and technical, which seems to replace the social function of philosophy, but this is only a superficial phenomenon.

Hegel said: when the power of unity disappears from people's lives, when opposites lose their relationship of existence and interaction and are gaining independence, the need for philosophy is formed. In fact, philosophy has always provided a basic cognitive framework and cognitive methods for people to understand the world and build a social picture, and its social function is irreplaceable.

Fan Wener:

Although philosophy does not directly provide the means to meet material needs, it provides various ideas so that we can understand, coordinate and meet our needs in the social field and our hopes for the future. From a macro perspective, philosophical theory provides ideological legitimacy for a specific social system, balances the stability and mobility of social structure, integrates social culture, enhances judgment and cognition, and unifies social ideological understanding.

Fan Wensan:

The first pillar of thinking: the brain; The second pillar: social life; The third pillar: knowledge; The fourth pillar: personality. In Chinese teaching, we can strengthen and consolidate the two pillars of social life and knowledge, and broaden the space for innovation. First of all, teachers should create opportunities for students to get in touch with various social activities. It is far from enough to cultivate students' innovative consciousness and creative thinking only in the classroom, and it must also be extended to extracurricular activities.
