Prof.Gao Qinghai began his idea of"species-philosophy"in the early 1990s."Species-philosophy"can be regarded as a new philosophical form created as"philosophical self"by the contemporary Chinese nation.To un-derstand Gao's idea of"species-philosophy",we must explore the three themes of"species philosophy":the theme of human nature,the theme of reality and the theme of life.Since 1990,Gao Qinghai had begun to focus on the problem of"human",and took it as the theme of philosophy,which realized the reform of philosophical ideas and also began the i-deological process of"species philosophy".The exploration of human nature also constituted the philosophical theme of Gao's"species-philosophy".The research of market economy pushes the philosophical theme of"man"to a new realm,and provides a realistic theme of the times for Gao's"species-philosophy".The idea and framework of Gao's species-philosophy is specifically developed around the theme of human's life,and it is a future philosophical problem of thinking and expressing human's life and"nature of human"in the context of human's moving towards the era of species-philosophy.The three themes of species-philosophy should also be the philosophical basis for our future-orien-ted philosophical research and thought creation.
