read an article " Peking University Lecture Series". The author believes that Chinese and Western philosophy belong to two methods of argumentation.
Specifically, Western philosophy attaches great importance to "cognitive thinking" and pursues the issue of the origin of the world, such as Socrates famously said "know myself", while Chinese philosophy attaches great importance to "practical thinking" and pays more attention to The purpose is to solve problems. For example, Laozi said, "Tao follows nature," and Confucianism said, "Study things to gain knowledge, cultivate one's moral character, regulate one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."
is an interesting statement. Taken together, it is what we often call "theory combined with practice". It can also be considered that "cognitive behavioral therapy" also fits this view. Cognition and behavior complement each other. The opposites of unify and are inseparable. Of course, we can also continue to connect with the saying of "unity of knowledge and action".
Among them, cognition plays the role of "engine". How to understand "cognition" is a big issue, a key issue, and an essential issue. If the understanding is reasonable, it will get twice the result with half the effort, and if the understanding is unreasonable, it will lead to the opposite direction.
as an example.
When someone talks about a certain person, they feel indignant and say, "There is something wrong with this person's nature", with a negative emotion that is irreconcilable. If they are communicating with us, how should we deal with it?
uses complete classification technology. People with ordinary relationships should just laugh it off, do not respond, argue, or make suggestions, because people are not asking for our opinions when they express their opinions. It is best to just shut up. Do not refute or argue with them, otherwise it will be just a quarrel between two fools.
If you are an acquaintance, if you say this just to vent your emotions, it doesn't matter, you can be noncommittal, or you can even say it along the way.
The last situation is between relatives and friends, involving a third party. It is inappropriate not to give suggestions. You can ask questions in a guided manner to remind the other party. The purpose is to expand the consciousness and think, "Is this your idea or a fact?"
Don't underestimate this sentence. Due to irrational cognition and stubbornness, many people regard their own ideas as facts and cannot distinguish them at all. This is the so-called "recognition of death". At this time, reminding the other party will help them understand whether their ideas are reasonable. .
Therefore, a very important cognitive thinking is to keep in mind that "ideas are ideas, ideas are not facts". This is also the difference between humanities and natural sciences. Natural sciences aim at facts and objectivity, while humanities aim at Ideas are thinking.
Let’s look at another phenomenon. Whether it is daily life or case consultation, questioning is a very important technique. Good questions help to promote consultation. It can be said that consultation is the process of asking questions. “If you can ask questions, you can consult.” This is also necessary Difficulties in improving.
Why is it so important to ask questions? To reiterate the above point of view, consultation belongs to the category of humanistic knowledge, which is different from natural science knowledge. This is the difference between ideas and facts.
understands the seeker according to the cognitive model. The psychological problem lies in unreasonable cognition, that is, the thoughts are causing trouble. There are countless people's thoughts, and different thoughts produce different reactions. For this reason, asking questions in different ways is to try to guide the help seekers. Readers should accept that ideas are not facts, should not be stubborn, and should strive to open up new perspectives and promote reasonable cognitive reconstruction.
