As such, cultural philosophy is essentially a new pattern for historical interpretation. It is always guided by the spirit of self-conscious cultural criticism, endeavoring to elucidate the cultural roots of the existential crisis of modern humanity through macro- and micro-level description of the generation of the cultural spirit of mankind, and to provide multiple possibilities for the future existence of humanity.展开更多

The systematization, basic nature and research themes of cultural philosophy are determined by three premises： first, the logical evolution of modernization and the emergence of the conception of total modernization; second, the cultural logic of globalization, along with the advent of a recta-cultural form, i.e. the idea of ＂world culture＂; and third, the highlighting of the logic of cultural development, the totality of culture and cultural ontological experience. These fundamental changes have made cultural philosophy the subcurrent and underlying reality of various modern philosophies; the theoretical forms of cultural philosophy are simply their concentrated expression and form. Research in cultural philosophy has three levels： the level of cultural values, the level of metaphysics, and the level of cultural criticism. Cultural philosophy is thus a new form of philosophy.展开更多

In this regard, philosophy of culture aims at a general understanding of man through cultural symbols which in themselves are not the end of the research. Using the research methodology of historical science, philosophy of culture attempts to understand man as a non-continuous and heterogeneous being. The theoretical objective of philosophy of culture is the criticism and reconstruction of cultural patterns with cultural symbols at their core.展开更多

We have several types of cultural philosophy at present： positivist, non-conscious, non-reflective, epistemological and paradigmatic. The direct cause of the generality and diversity that characterizes this research is the fact that it arises out of complex and varied cultural phenomena and rich and diverse intellectual and theoretical resources. The underlying cause of these features, however, is the failure to really transform its research paradigm from a philosophy of consciousness to a philosophy of culture. To deepen research in cultural philosophy in China, we should prioritize the task of promoting awareness of theoretical paradigms. We should not take cultural philosophy as a branch of philosophy; instead, we should consider it a philosophical paradigm through which we can truly return to the life world by turning back to culture. We should take it as a new model of historical interpretation.展开更多
