Abstract: The notion of “adherence to a problem-oriented approach” is one of the core propositions of the world view and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era with “Six commitments” as the basic content.This proposition shows the relationship between the scientific world view and methodology of contemporary Chinese Marxism and the “inheritance” and “development” of dialectical materialism and historical materialism from three aspects:interpreting the contradictory thinking of “raising problems”,the global logic of “existing problems and grasping problems”,and the spiritual characteristics of actively “tackling and solving problems” in practice.This core proposition uses the contradictory theory of materialist dialectics to further clarify problem thinking and problem consciousness as the starting point for understanding and transforming the world.The logical relationship between “adherence to a problem-oriented approach” and “six commitments” has been further analyzed through the holistic thinking of Marxist theory.The basic viewpoint of Marxist practical epistemology should be used to interpret the spiritual characteristics of “adherence to a problem-oriented approach”,active response on the basis of pragmatism and truth-seeking,and the practical consciousness of leading the times.The above aspects are the triple dimension of world view and methodology which can deepen the understanding of the world view and methodology of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.

Key words: adherence to a problem-oriented approach, world view and methodology, philosophical foundation, wholeness, practical consciousness
