The Human Logic And The Matter Logi

In general, dialecticals and formal logic, all originated in ancient Greekphilosophy. Since then, they have become important categories in the history ofWestern philosophy, so far were also, the two most important logic form. For a longtime, the relationship between dialectics and formal logic has become an importanttheme in many philosophers. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, medievalphilosopher Thomas, modern philosopher Hegel, contemporary philosopher Popper,and so on, all have thought about the relationship between the two,and proposedown view.From the perspective of the history of western philosophy, we can find therelationship between dialectics and formal logic is very complicated. In the source,dialectics and formal logic are originated from the ancient Greek concept of logos. Inthe middle ages, dialectics and formal logic all serve the religious theology, are thetools of Christian expound and prove the Bible and other church text. In the modernGerman philosophy, dialectics has been revived, and formal logic to become avassal of dialectics. However, the contemporary scientism act in a opposite way,formal logic as the philosophical foundation of their own, to criticize the dialectics.With the early twentieth century western ideological trend, dialectics and formallogic also came to China, and thrive. The relationship between the two has become ahot topic in academica in China. Even people have formed four views to therelationship between dialectics and formal logic. First, with dialectics suppress, oreven replace the formal logic; second, with formal logic suppress, or even replacethe dialectics; third, think dialectics is the advanced way of thinking, formal logic isthe primary way of thinking; fourth, think that way they know something is different,dialectics recognize objects from the content and the meaning, formal logic from theform and the extension.Philosopher Gao Qinghai inherited the achievements of the predecessors,rethinked the relationship between dialectics and formal logic, thought that dialecticsis a kind of human logic, formal logic is a matter logic. This is a new point of view, is a more reasonable point of view, should be taken seriously.Specifically, true dialectics since from Socrates, Socrates dialectics and hisphilosophy, all full of humanity. Dialectics is based on human world, it is veryconcerned about the human and the human society, and keep consistent with thehuman world. The survivability of human, which takes practice as the basis ofexistence is the reason of dialectics, dialectics and survivability are fit.By contrast, Aristotle is the originator of formal logic, in Aristotle, formal logicis a logic of matter, it produced in the summary about the relationship among all kindsof things. His biology research and animal research have laid the foundation for thecreation of formal logic. The causal relationship and condition relationship among allkinds of things is the basis for logic reasoning. In view of the world, the formal logicbased on the material world. The formal logic and the material world is interlinked,both have the same basic characteristics. Ready-made way of existence of tings isfoundation of formal logic.In conclusion, dialectics is a kind of human logic, formal logic is a matterlogic, there is heterogeneity. They have different applicable objects,we should makedemarcation on them, in order to prevent the offside and dislocation. The process ofwestern philosophy of self-understanding has proved this point. The traditionalwestern philosophy as a philosophical mode, it showed multiple perspectives, it ismetaphysics, ontology, theory of knowledge. But all these relate to formal logicclosely, formal logic is their logic support. In the formal logic supported, thetraditional western philosophy led to lost human gradually. Modern philosophy basedon the reflection of the human condition, realize a kind of practical ontology change,to reunderstanding of the human, human freedom and dignity have been enhanced. Infact, that is the dialectics supports this philosophy change, dialectics revived in thephilosophy change.Dialectics and formal logic as two heterogeneous logic, their function is different.Dialectics helps to enhance people’s humanistic quality, and the formal logic trainingis an important way to improve people’s scientific literacy. In Chinese traditionalthinking, forml logic thinking is underdeveloped, and the dialectics of thinking is experience intuitive, nondevelopment view, rejection of language,and so on. In themodern transition of Chinese traditional mode of thinking, we must keep the tensionbetween the two, and give full play to their functions. We should advocate of formallogic, but also should carry forward the dialectics, and realize the commondevelopment of Chinese scientific literacy and humanistic quality.
