Abstract
In this century, dominate the halls of the United States Institute of philosophical analysis and philosophy of science, only to be in an ivory tower philosophers Autumn in the palm, the taste in the mouth. Scholars of science and technology, the number of rational, logical and linguistic characteristics of the concept of the game of philosophizing, away from social activities and human behavior. In short, stay away from the valuable human philosophizing spirit. The highest activity of the human philosophy of rational thinking, social development and change can not be indifferent. Consequently, in the United States, an reversion to the human spirit philosophizing breeze to ripple the philosophy of a pool of stagnant water. For a time, caring, and understand the philosophy of life has become separate ways princes of fashion topics. The so-called human philosophizing spirit of the reversion, mainly as follows: First, the "community"-based approach of philosophizing; Second, the "ethics" of philosophizing based approach; Third, "post-modern"-based approach of philosophizing; 4 "feminist" of philosophizing based approach; Fifth, the "love"-based approach of philosophizing; six, the "heart" of philosophizing based approach. The six philosophizing orientation, from a different side to reflect the status of the philosophy of the United States. Overall, the approach is related to each other, interact with each other and mutual penetration of the cover. Many scholars of "love", "heart", "ethics" and "society" philosophizing together to explore. Some "post-modernism" with its post-modern philosopher, the way of thinking to explore the above aspects; while some feminist feminist philosopher, standing position, but also the ideological trends of the above comprehensive re-evaluation, critical and reflection. Can not be denied, even if those in the humanities and social-based philosophizing is still being affected by analytic philosophy, philosophy of language and logic of scientific impact. To say the least, the United States all kinds of ideas, critique each other, impact and mutual dialogue, integration relationship, in order to promote coexistence sympathetic manner the overall development of American philosophy. In the past century, analytic and scientific philosophy have presided over American Academia. Scholars have enjoyed mulling over these areas of philosophy from the vantage point of their ivory towers. They have played with technology, mathematics, logic and language while straying from social and humanistic philosophy. While reflecting on the highest rational aspects of philosophy, it is impossible to be apathetic about social development and change. Consequently, a resurgence of humanistic philosophy in America has caused quite a stir. A concern for humanistic and social philosophy is back in vogue in the United States. This humanistic renaissance can be summarized in the following important tendencies: 1. A reflection on social philosophy. 2. A reflection on ethics. 3. Post Modernism. 4. Feminism. 5. A reflection on love. 6. A reflection on the mind. These six tendencies form the different perspectives in contemporary American philosophy. Taken as a whole, these six tendencies have all had mutual influence and have permeated each other's thought. Many scholars have also combined philosophies of "love", " mind "," ethics "and" social thought "in their ideologies. Post-Modernism philosophers have taken the above mentioned topics and approached them from a post-modernisitic perspective. Feminist philosophers have also added their slant to these humanistic tendencies. It cannot be denied that humanistic philosophy in America is still influenced by logic, analytic and scientific philosophy. It could be argued, however, that all varieties of American thought have, through criticism and dialogue, combined and now co-exhist in creating a complete American philosophy
