The fundamental role of logic in the development of Chinese Philosophy
2022-08-22
The three ancient civilization systems in the world all have profound historical and cultural accumulation and knowledge system evolution. Logic plays a demonstration and fundamental role in their respective knowledge systems. The Chinese civilization has lasted for thousands of years and formed its unique value system. The excellent traditional culture of China has become the gene of the Chinese nation and has a profound impact on the way of thinking and behavior of the Chinese people. To build China's independent knowledge system, we need to find a source of fresh water from the excellent traditional Chinese culture and further promote the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture. The development of Chinese traditional philosophy lasted from the pre Qin Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Accompanied by the evolution of Chinese traditional philosophy, there must be logical argumentation that plays a fundamental role in the development of Chinese philosophy. Therefore, Chinese logic also has a corresponding development process. Therefore, we need to understand the ideological characteristics of Chinese logic argumentation according to the ideological ecology of Chinese traditional culture, rather than mining Chinese logic by "comparing" foreign logic. The development of philosophy is inseparable from the support and argumentation of logic, which is a tool of argumentation science. Ancient Greek logic, Indian logic (Yin Ming) and Chinese logic (commonly known as "nominalism and dialectics") are known as the three sources of ancient logic in the world. Logic is the foundation and foundation of philosophy. Different philosophical traditions have different logics as demonstration tools. In the development of western philosophy from ancient times to now, traditional logic and modern logic have always been the demonstration tools of different forms of philosophy; As an integral part of the knowledge system of "five Ming" in India, Yinming is also a demonstration tool of Neiming. Chinese traditional philosophy has been developing continuously from the pre Qin Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, showing different ideological forms in different historical stages. Therefore, accompanying the evolution of Chinese traditional philosophy, there must be a logical argument that plays a fundamental role in the development of Chinese philosophy. Although many modern scholars are aware of the close relationship between philosophy and logic, their view that Chinese philosophy is influenced by different logic at different stages seems to be untenable. They believe that it is China's own logic to call it nominalism or dialectics from ancient times to Qin Dynasty; From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was India's Yinming, which was introduced from India; From the late Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, it was western logic, which was introduced from the West. Historically, although India spread and developed in China due to Ming Dynasty, it did not have an overall impact on the development of Chinese philosophy from Han Dynasty to Ming Dynasty; Western logic was first introduced into China from the end of the Ming Dynasty to the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. There was no direct connection between western logic and Chinese traditional philosophy, let alone its influence and argumentation on Chinese traditional philosophy. Chinese logic takes place and grows up in the specific ideological ecology of Chinese traditional learning and culture. Without this ideological ecology, we can not discuss Chinese logic. In this sense, the Chinese logic that supports the development and evolution of Chinese traditional philosophy is not the "nominalism and dialectics" that we see today, which is sorted out with the help of the western traditional logic teaching system. Therefore, we need to re understand the logic of Chinese cultural tradition from the perspective of the relationship between logic and philosophy. In the previous studies, the "debate" was generally regarded as the object of Chinese logic, which was interpreted as debate and dialectics. Even if the "debate" appeared, it was also interpreted as the word "pass through" and "false", and basically no distinction was made. According to the general understanding, logic
