Features: European philosophy reflects the emergence and development of European slave-owning society, feudalism, and modern capitalist society from the perspective of worldview, as well as the emergence and development of modern European experimental natural science. It provides relatively complete, systematic, and typical materials and clues for the historical development of philosophy. It serves as the theoretical premise for the establishment of Marxist dialectical materialism and historical materialism, as well as the theoretical origin of modern Western philosophy. The development of European philosophy, from one aspect, reflects the gradual enrichment and deepening of human understanding of the relationship between mind and existence, as well as the general laws of the development of nature, human society, and human thought. As a science, the main task of the history of European philosophy is to explore and reveal the laws governing the gradual deepening of this understanding, in conjunction with the actual process of the development of European philosophical thought.
