Abstract way of formal reflection is a kind of an effort to reflect and to lay a foundation on language and society. Its purposes are to study the logic of language and the inevitability of society, to lay a foundation for objectiveness of thinking, and to understand the nature of people.According to Saussure, abstract way of formal reflection is a way of studying general linguistics. Why only after understanding language can we overcome the limitation of thinking, understand cognitive reflection more deeply, and realize that thinking itself is unable to have objectivity? Modern philosophy has discovered the contradiction between thinking and the world. It also has strived to understand existence through pure thinking. However, its effort resulted in failure. The distinction between the thing in itself and one's idea of it has allowed one to construct the knowledge of the present state of the world. It has also made it impossible to grasp higher truth. In addition, objectivity of knowledge is only a kind of subjective validity which is constructed as a result of common inevitability that arose from one's idea of things. Substance suggests higher truth which separated science from civilization. Irrationality rules human world. Marx went even further and overthrew the validity of the core of the idea. He suggested the original nature of ideology of thinking and the relationship between idea and imagination of reality. Distorted image and imagination denied the theory that idea reflects representation of reality. The way that existence of society influences social awareness makes idea opaque. The fact that idea imagines the illusion of ideology of reality is caused by the inevitability of social dimension. Therefore, we are able to use the illusion to grasp"the hand which cannot be seen,"but idea is unable to directly describe reality. Then, how can we use illusion to discover truth, and how can we achieve social reflection of idea? Language provides individual idea with the pathway of social dimension. One is capable of thinking only by means of language. Language is a kind of a system. Social and relational aspect of language is achieved by the nature of symbol. Symbol has two sides; significant and referent. The unity of those two provides social aspect of idea with method of reflection. Symbol itself is arbitrary. The relationship between significant and referent does not possess any kind of natural reason and innate grounds of argument. However, symbol does not signify itself. Symbol's significant is the difference of sound image and other sound image. Symbol's referent is the difference of a notion and other notions. The unity of significant and referent of symbol is a kind of similarity of difference. Therefore, symbol contains contradicting relationship with other symbols. It is better to say that symbol is assemble and reveal relationships. Similarity of difference has its basis on the inevitability of systematic inner thoughts. It has provided a kind of method of contradiction of two parties. The contradiction between related symbols has determined the contradiction between symbols'inner significants and referents. Unity of oppositeness is regarded as language theory and it has provided the basis for pure rationality of"understandability"and"knowability."At the same time, it suggested that symbol is an expression of systematic tools of language classification. The fact that symbol is considered as the unity of significant and referent is not of an ultimate importance. It is better to say that this kind of close union makes classification of distinction and contradiction and reorganization unchangeable. At present, we have arrived original logic of language symbol dimension. Language must be the best alternative to the way of knowledge.Symbol is considered as relational existence. The both sides of one entity are difference. Therefore, it is formal existence of mutual thinking and understanding of the contradicting symbols."Formal reflection"is not only a method suggested by linguistics study, but also a way of existence for language and society's dimension. Language (society) form dimension exists due to pure knowledge. This is a big letter written knowledge dimension. It provided thinking of self awareness's dimension with original logic. It constructed thinking and objective idea and value. Only because thinking factor has a big written letter of language (society) form dimension it is possible. Imagination suspended direct knowledge of object of idea. It deconstructs unity of .idea and the existence. Social relationship has taken on a new way of idea and it has arrived the idea of"predetermination and harmony."Using imagination thinking encourages inner reflection to have a contrast with key elements of things. It unconsciously builds society's necessity. It completed society's distinction system reproduction.Language and society form dimension is the first dimension of knowledge. This is first required in logics. To explain language (society) form dimension of things, we distinguished substance and form. Self awareness dimension reveals the immanence and formality of thinking, and common necessity by which thinking intention object. Society form dimension contributed to restoration. Self awareness dimension is not pure thinking form, but rounded thinking. Thinking is broad. It has symbol of things. It is language (society) form dimension projection arrive at the distinction of material world. It caused existence of form and substance. However, language (society) form dimension promotes mutual function between rounded idea and rounded material. Ideology illusion is thought by society that ideas about innate material things are necessary,"mysteriously transcendent function.""Connotation logic of ideas"can be substituted as"language theology"and"inevitability of society.""Formal reflection"is symbol"abstract"of an substantial being. It reveals how its"relationship"is constructed in logic. It is language (society) logic which was kept out. The original idea of ideology, idea intension object is moulded and is an image which is a vertical decided relationship. Ideas and objects, nature and spirit, necessity and freedom etc. have a unity, which is regarded as illusion by language (society) form dimension. It does not reflect the necessity of connection. It is just a result of horizontal contrast. This means Vertical connection does not represent substance but form. Similarity of horizontal difference leas the necessary relationship. It is better to say that this kind of connection of symbols is realization and representation of relationships.Language is considered to have principles, expression logic of differences, contrast and reorganization. Symbol, however, is a container and expresser of this kind of original logic. One thing represents one thing. Symbol possesses its meaning so things are a realized result of form relationship. Different society has different implements to bear. In terms of understanding, the unity of oppositeness in society (language) form dimension constructed"teacher of logic."In the sense of meaning, humans are the existence of society and language. Therefore, all the things that are related are for the things that society and language posses. Humans are neither able to see nor able to recognize the existence of non-language and non- society.
