What is the philosophy that influences society, whether it is human or material
i think you are asking what is the counter or opposing philosophy to materialism.
it may be humanism, although i am not entirely convinced.
humanism may be more holistic, than a direct opponent to materialism.
the direct opponent to materialism may be a form of 'socialism' - everything has life, interacts, and neglecting such (quality) interactions result in adverse outcomes. it leans towards nepotism, or variants thereof.
I am not sure philosophy influences society much at all, but I think philosophy can sometimes manage to describe patterns in thinking, feeling and life at different times. Philosophy is to a degree also able to represent idealized states of thinking, feeling and living.
The next step might therefor be to find philosophers who can offer perpectives that are recognizable discriptions of the perpective of life you experience and maybe philosopher who can offer perpectives og life how it can be at its best that are recognizable, can function and can benefit longterm. I am not sure all perpectives serve us well.
