First, expand the scope of knowledge.
People who read philosophy books are basically exposed to natural science, art, music, culture and the history of thought. ...
Let you become a person with wide knowledge, connotation and substance in words, and improve your inner quality at once. Haha, it's a bit exaggerated. But it does have this advantage. Of course, the connotation and accomplishment can not be cultivated in a short time, nor can it be done by reading a few philosophical history books. Frequent contact will naturally understand the mystery.
Second, exercise thinking and enhance speculation.
People who have been engaged in philosophy research for a long time or have been studying philosophy will have more rigorous and meticulous thinking and strong logical ability, and will see problems more comprehensively, deeply and quickly. Of course, this is only relative. In addition, learning philosophy depends on a certain talent and dedication.
Philosophy book says: philosophy is the knowledge of wisdom.
Indeed, in a general sense, philosophy has the first and second functions, and contact with such people certainly gives people the impression of being smart and knowledgeable.
Learning philosophy is actually very useful and helpful in some interpersonal communication, parties and interviews.
(As for the professional "philosophy", don't say it. It's actually quite difficult to understand after I said it, but I'm still not sure. Because philosophy itself is like this. It lies in deep thinking about the problem, not in the only answer. What is required is that people use philosophical methods and philosophical thinking to think about practical problems. )
The "philosophy" or something with philosophy that ordinary people come into contact with is different from the highly professional philosophy.
Generally speaking, philosophy can actually be understood as people's thinking about life or careful observation and summary of common phenomena in life. For example, people often say, "Wow, this sentence is so classic." Nowadays, many TV dramas and online literary works often make people regard some of them as "philosophy of life" and widely spread and apply them. Those statements can be regarded as philosophy of life, and some people may call it grass-roots philosophy.
Philosophical defects?
I haven't been able to say that philosophy has any defects. So far, all I feel is the happiness brought by philosophy. Philosophy involves too many subjects, which is very interesting, just like opening an encyclopedia or a museum door to you.
Some people think that philosophy is idealistic, but I don't think so.
Although philosophy is speculative in ideology, it focuses on practical problems.
