On The Relationship Between Logical Thinking Method And Non-logical Thinking Method

Logical thinking method is a basic method of human thought, and is the operating procedures and format of logical thinking. The concept is based on judgment and reasoning of thinking. It is also the logical tool to explore new knowledge or gain the indirect knowledge. It influences and restricts the activities of people's understanding in the real life. It processes and cleans up the materials of people's understanding, and ascends the individual practical experience to the general one. It could introduce new knowledge from existing knowledge and construct them to a rigorous system. It could explore whether the hypothesis is true by using the tested knowledge. It may forecast the prospects for the development of things and give the confidence to people in their practice. Non-logical thinking method is a method which follows the logic and does not follow the logic. It excludes the rational paradigm of using the concept to judge and following the logical process to reason. Therefore, it is helpful to the development of people's inherent potential. It conveys the feelings and sensibilities which can not be stated by using the language or reasoning method by means of people's perceptive image. Its imagic features and emotional factors often provide direct help to understand the objective things integrally.Although there are differences between logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method, but they do have complementary functions. In the creative thinking process, when logic thinking method is blocked, non-logic method often becomes an effective alternative. Once realizing the understanding of communication by using non-logical thinking method, it is needed to set up a logical bridge in the gap between the new realization and the old one. Even using the most excellent imaginative thinking method, the most sensitive intuitive thinking method and the most amazing inspiration thinking method, the results can finally be made sure after they are tested by logical thinking method. It is stressed that logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method are integrated and united. The paper which adheres to the ideology is expatiated and it is divided into three parts.The first part of the paper is to analyze logical thinking method. Firstly, the category of logical thinking method is defined in order to make sure its conception and investigating objects. Secondly, the specific contents and features of logical thinking method are analyzed. The contents of logical thinking method are very abundant. Four groups of methods are mainly expatiated here. They contain analytical method and synthesis method, comparison method and classification method, induction method and deduction method, abstract method and specific method. Thirdly, the functions of logical thinking method in the process of creative thinking are analyzed. Its roles are mainly incarnated through the roles of these thinking methods, such as analytical method and synthesis method, comparison method and classification method, induction method and deduction method, abstract method and specific method. The roles of logical thinking method in the process of creative thinking are mainly to provide the preparation of information in order to put forward creative ideas. Then process all kinds of ideas which are put forward and check them up. Finally, test and demonstrate the creative results.The second part of the paper is to analyze non-logical thinking method. Firstly, the category of non-logical thinking method is defined to ensure its conception and investigating objects. Secondly, the specific contents and features of non-logical thinking method are analyzed. Non-logical thinking method mostly includes such thinking methods as disperse thinking method, gather thinking method, imagined thinking method, intuition thinking method, inspiration thinking method and lateral thinking method. Three methods of imagined thinking method, intuition thinking method and inspiration thinking method are mainly expounded. It indicates that imagined thinking method is a prelude to creative thinking, intuition thinking method is a relatively simple method in the process of creative thinking, inspiration thinking method is a rather abrupt method in the process of creative thinking. Thirdly, the functions of non-logical thinking method in the process of creative thinking are analyzed. Its roles are mainly incarnated through the roles of these thinking methods, such as imagined thinking method, intuition thinking method and inspiration thinking method.The third part of the paper points out that logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method are linked to the organic unity. The analysis is carried out mainly on three aspects. Firstly, logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method are united in the essence of the creative thinking. The process of creative thinking is the interrelated and complementary collaboration process between logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method. Secondly, logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method are unitizing in the process of creative thinking. The analysis is from two aspects. On the one hand, they are uniform in the developmental process of creative thinking. On the other hand, the scientific achievements which are gained in the process of creative thinking are the uniform crystal. Thirdly, logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method are unitizing in the aim of creative thinking. In areas such as scientific research, people need to pay attention to the application of non-logical thinking method, as imagined thinking method, intuition thinking method and Inspiration thinking method. At the same time, the roles of logical thinking method can not be ignored. They are mutual and complementary cooperation between logical thinking method and non-logical thinking method.
