In addition, there is no need to refer to too many other disciplines at this stage. If you are interested, you can expand your reading of the above bibliography and read introductory literature on psychology, mathematical logic and social science, which will not be repeated here. If you think these books are still too professional, don't worry. In the future, I will sort out some popular philosophy books, cultivate my interest and then study. It might be a lot easier. )

On the other hand, after the completion of this stage, the overall level is above the graduate students of philosophy department (average level), but they need to fully participate in the study of mathematics, modern science and humanities and social sciences, otherwise the reading disorder will be obvious. Lectures on Mathematical Logic and Mathematical Logic Introduction to Logic recommended by Xu Ming; The latter is much deeper, and the former is an introduction. Other important books: a brief history of communication, Matra; History of modern psychology, Schultz; Introduction to psychoanalysis, Freud; Structural anthropology, Levi Strauss. China people and philosophers should read more literature and some ancient prose. Independent thinking is as important as practice. I suggest that you must follow the principle of "from shallow to deep" and study step by step according to the suggestions given in this book list, so that you can fully appreciate the beautiful scenery of philosophy.

In addition, the bibliography recommended at this stage is only an introduction, and scholars can completely expand their ideas at will. Other recommended bibliographies are as follows: The Road to Reality by Penrose, Mathematical Principles by Russell, Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience by Peking University Publishing House, Social Constructivism Psychology and Connectionism Cognitive Psychology by Shanghai Education Publishing House, Modern Linguistic School by Feng Zhiwei, and related contents of cognitive psychology and evolutionary psychology. Please refer to domestic or foreign university textbooks for economics, political science and sociology. In addition-please pay attention to reading the classic original works of various disciplines, and even the original works. Some recent frontier studies in Europe, Britain and the United States have no Chinese translations. In addition to bibliography, literature reading at this stage is very important. Readers are recommended to subscribe to Philosophical Research and World Philosophy to learn about the domestic/international academic frontiers. I didn't give any bibliography of China's philosophy and Indian philosophy. Readers can find important books and documents by their own ability, because there is no masterpiece that must be read after advanced. China's philosophy should focus on Taoist metaphysics, metaphysics and Buddhism, while Buddhism should focus on Tiantai Sect, Zhixue Sect and Huayan Sect. Yin Zhe is mainly Buddhism. Recommend Zong Kaba's "The Broadest Theory of Tantric Buddhism" and "The Broadest Theory of Bodhi". The construction of personal ideological system is best carried out gradually at this stage, but attention should be paid to its frontier, logic/rigor and scientificity.
Extended reading: an inspirational book of classical philosophy
Suggestion 1: Yearning for life
Irving Stone
Content abstract: With delicate and sincere words, the author tells the story of Van Gogh's fanaticism, paranoia, pain, helplessness, loss, desire for love and being loved ... the artistic life and the craftsman's heart that were finally commemorated.
Recommended reason: "Reading a good book is equivalent to talking to a noble person." The process of reading the Biography of Van Gogh is the process of feeling the soul of Van Gogh. Often reading the details, I choked for a long time and couldn't speak. Isn't it happy to be moved by such a person? In this era of endless advertisements flooding people's minds, is it very happy to read such a truly shocking work?
Recommendation 2: Re-recognize yourself.
Krishnamurti
Content abstract: Re-understanding yourself is the most valuable teaching of Krishnamurti, the most outstanding spiritual teacher in the 20th century. The most precious thing for a person is a sense of freedom. However, people are often limited by their inner personality or external environment, tradition and authority, and lose themselves. This book thoroughly discusses how to get rid of all internal and external constraints and bring radical innovation to yourself and your life.
Recommended reason: What I can't stop in this life is my exploration and thinking about myself, and this book gives me the feeling that it is a wake-up call.
Recommendation 3: the power of the moment
Eckhart Tolle
Content abstract: Reading this book is a journey of discovery for you. Under the guidance of the author, you will be surprised to find that you have been controlled by your brain or thinking, living in eternal anxiety about time, thus preventing you from getting rid of your inner pain. But in fact, we can only live in the present. Only by surrendering to the present can you find real strength and find the entrance to peace and tranquility.
Highlight: Open inner peace, change mentality and improve happiness. This book made me realize that "letting go" is so simple that everyone can help themselves out of trouble.
