Abstract

In the context of modern education aimed at developing comprehensive competencies for learners, critical thinking and creativity have become two core competencies. However, to sustainably develop these competencies, a deep understanding and scientific thinking methods are necessary. Philosophical thinking, characterized by generalization, systematization, and the ability to discover the essence of things, plays a crucial role in developing critical thinking and creativity. This article analyzes the outstanding values ​​of philosophical thinking for learners, points out the mechanisms of influence, and suggests some directions for its application in current teaching.
