Abstract The original meaning of philosophy lies in the way of thinking and practicing which aim at happy life. As modern society increasingly changes into "therapeutic" society, contemporary Western philosophy is also turning towards life therapy. The change of interest of modern Western philosophy from the philosophical world tolife world is the academic background of this turn; the deteriorating "disease" of the body and mind of the modern society is the fundamental driving force of this turn; the postmodern philosophy's respect for life and attention to body is the theoretical fulcrum; the confluence of Chinese and Western philosophy is the ultimate purpose of this turn.
