The emergence and development of philosophy-reasons:

Metaphysical thinking is the essence of philosophical development. In primitive society, people did not know all kinds of natural phenomena. Natural phenomena such as lightning and mountain torrents have triggered people's exploration and understanding of nature and themselves. This is the early embryonic form of religion. It can be said that in this period, philosophy explained the existence of religion.

Philosophy originated in the ancient slavery period when social productive forces developed greatly. At that time, the development of social economy greatly improved people's cognitive ability, and people began to think about the nature of the world and other theoretical issues, and early human philosophy appeared.

In ancient times, the object of philosophical research was very complicated, from astronomy to geography. All kinds of problems that can give people wisdom and make people smart are the research objects of philosophy. The objects of philosophical research in this period include those of specific scientific, and philosophy and science are integrated.

In the middle of slave society, certain sciences, such as mathematics, astronomy and medicine, became an independent science and separated from philosophy. The research object of philosophy has been reduced and concretized, and various specific philosophical disciplines have been formed in philosophy: ontology, epistemology and logic.

With the establishment of capitalism, modern empirical science came into being, and various specific scientific became independent from philosophy and developed rapidly, narrowing the research object of philosophy. Engels pointed out: "In all previous philosophies, only the theories about thinking and its laws-formal logic and dialectics-still exist, and everything else belongs to the empirical science about nature and history.

Epistemology and development view became the core issues of philosophy in this period.

At present, due to the independent and rapid development of natural science, social science and consciousness science, the research object of philosophy has changed again.

Philosophy no longer studies the problems in a certain range and field of the world, but studies the essence and universal laws of all things and phenomena in the whole world, such as the origin of the world, the relationship between matter and consciousness, the basic state of the world, etc., thus forming materialism and idealism. Philosophy itself only shows different dimensions of thinking, and there is no right or wrong, but if we explore the true nature of the objective world through practice, there will be a difference between science and unscientific.
