In terms of its original meaning of philosophy is to have meaning action, in the philosophy of action theory, action theory of water far is the specific method of practice, philosophical activities include: review, analysis, synthesis, speculative, specifications and evaluation. This continued for six activities of Philosophy is actually a philosophy of action, philosophers believe that this action can be applied to all six subjects above. From the said, the philosophy of action aimed at seeking change, change of purpose of being a good, but there are good features, therefore, the philosophy of action is in the return to self, that is, in practice, return to self. The practice is aware of actions to themselves or others, such as the philosophy of action can be found in its theoretical significance and value. The core of human healing in philosophical counseling should be the meaning and value of the reconstruction. Philosophical Counseling ○ years of development since 1981, has been uphold the goal to develop some basic principles: first, philosophical counseling is not advocated so-called "patient" concept; Second, philosophical counseling lead to its value The basic principle of consultation, three, talk to each other on the philosophy of the relationship between the main body of their stay. This paper is intended to be above three principles: no patients, the value of the relationship between the lead and do elaborate intersubjective content. The core spirit of philosophical counseling practice, practice and philosophy from the Greek era, or Spring and Autumn Period of China had been there, but the method of continuous improvement, proposed in this paper these basic ideas, not put people through when the patient, with the philosophical ideas content, think about ways to help others to clarify values, and then pursue higher and better value, and is a way to carry out inter-subjectivity, perhaps in the face of human history and social change in a practical way to help others. Action is part of the original meaning of philosophy; in the theory of action in philosophy, action is always the concrete method to practice the theory, as the activities of philosophy consist of examination, analysis, generalization, speculation, regulation and evaluation. The incessant engagement in these six activities is in fact the action of philosophy, and philosophers believe these six actions can be applied to all academic subjects. Thus, we can see that the goal of philosophy is change, and the goal of change is to acquire the supreme good while good is a feature of being. Therefore, action is about returning to one's self namely, returning to one's self in practice. The practical perception of action is making oneself or others find the meaning and value of action in the theory of philosophical action , while the central content of humanities therapy is supposed to be the reconstruction of meaning and value by philosophical counseling. Ever since its emergence in 1980, philosophical counseling has always stuck to the above goals and developed a few fundamental principles: first, there is no such a concept as "patient;" second, the basic principle of philosophical counseling is value guide; third, the unchanging principle of philosophical interviews is the inter-subjective relationship. This paper is meant to explicate the aforementioned three principles: no patients, value guide and inter-subjective relationships. The central spirit of philosophical counseling and the method of philosophical practice can be traced to the days of ancient Greece and the Period of Spring and Autumn of China, only they have been constantly improved in methodology. Through treating people not as patients, helping people clarify values ​​through philosophical thought and philosophical thinking, furthermore, pursuing higher and better values ​​and doing it in some kind of inter-subjective manner, the basic views proposed in this paper are perhaps a way to offer practical help to people in the face of the changes in humanistic history and society
