Thomas Aquinas's description: "action to follow there," mode of action of people who are there according to the mode of the future, it is to say people's actions is mental in nature and substance of the same action. Secondly, in the philosophy of action of the theoretical construct, respectively, from there the basic sense, there is the kinetic energy, there are actions designed to change three for coming to talk, emphasizing the philosophical action theory, the action is always a practical theory of specific methods, and philosophy, the purpose of action is in the return to self, that is, in practice, return to self.

Thomas Aquinas said, "action follows being;" the mode of people's action is following their mode of being, that is, people's action is one that synchronizes spirituality and materiality. Secondly, regarding the theoretical construction of the action of philosophy, we address this issue through three aspects: the fundamental meaning of being, the dynamics of being, and that change is the goal of the action of being. It is stressed that in the action theory of philosophy, action is always the specific method to practice the theory, while the goal of the action of philosophy is the return to the self, that is, to return to the self in practice. Finally, it is specifically suggested in the action theory of philosophy that a philosopher should be equipped with two different abilities: the ability to perceive and the ability to see things as a whole. It is particularly stressed that the meaning of perception in the action theory of philosophy is that one could start with meditation and then help others in an effective way, while the ability to see things as a whole is consisted of seeing the integrated and general abilities and concerning with humanistic issues
