Abstract: | Philosophy means loving wisdom. However, the meaning of loving wisdom has many dimensions. Loving wisdom, starting from the ancient Greek, encountered a truth turn in its development but failed to solve the long-existing philosophical crisis in an effective way. With exploring the wisdom of loving beauty in The Symposium by Plato, this paper preliminarily interprets the connotation, practice modes and historical events of loving beauty. Meanwhile, malposition mode is proposed in this paper as a supplement element to the practical ladder mode to act as an effective way to solve the philosophical crisis and the wisdom of loving beauty is regarded as the possible direction of philosophical thinking and practice. |
