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
