With the development of contemporary philosophy,especially postmodernism,"all things that are sturdy have vanished." "Truth" is questioned;philosophy is terminated,and lofty values are fluctuated.Undersuch circumstance,how to evaluate the point of philosophy becomes the direction of contemporary philosophy.The thinking of "the fate of philosophy" by Marx and Heidegger provides significant inspiration to the researchers of philosophy.To identify the "logic of truth" by treating truth as the "dominant concept" of the "ideology system" requires thinking within a broader scale and introducing a more original concept of “belief" The objective of this essay is to investigates the form of belief from the reflection of the logic of truth and to explore the mechanism of truth and philosophy in the culture and life of human being from a fundamental perspective.In addition,this essay investigates the values and significance of “The dominant concept” on people's culture and life.The essaydemonstrates this problem in 4 chapters.The issue of "belief" is raised in Chapter 1 and self-examination of the belief problem is conducted.“How do people believe” is an attempt to define the uniform “form of belief” behind the different terms of belief.This question is to express the fundamental modality of belief as a mental mechanism rather than demonstrate how this mental mechanism becomes possible.To discuss the "form of belief," the logic of truth is the unavoidable topic since it attempts to achieve the highest reliability.To understand many questions related to the philosophical term “belief”,comparisons of the surrounding concepts of “belief” are conducted and necessary self-examination is commenced to evaluate the feasible method for this study.In the comparison of “Xiangxin”,“Xinnian” and “Xinyang”,there is an increasing ranking for these terms talking about daily uses with the highest position of “Xinyang”.However,“Xiangxin” is believed to occupy the fundamental position in the philosophy scope.In the comparison of belief,awareness,and knowledge,although "knowledge" and "knowing knowledge" shows firm logical relationship,their corresponding content is so deficient that the discussion of knowledge(truth)eventually is turned back to the complex state and must be evaluated using the hypothesis and argumentation.The self-examination of the question,“the fundamental uniformed form of belief” is to ensure it is the effective and meaningful question that deserves further study in the philosophy scope.In Chapter 2,"belief" as an issue in philosophy is demonstrated to always exist in philosophical theory.Firstly,the "belief" problem is obscured in the theoretical scope of philosophy and reality.Philosophy exerts the influence on reality by reflecting the "ideology and theory" that affect people's attitudes,behaviors and choices.To ensure its realistic effects,the fundamental model is established as “depicting a state,finding a fulcrum,constructing a standard,and deriving a series of conclusions".The philosophical theory can be regarded as "established for the truth" or "established for the belief".Secondly,the major object of the "belief" problem is the relationship between truth and belief.In the epistemology scope,truth must be believed in advance since it is not proved until people commence action.From the perspective of agnosticism,a logical support should be created since there is no practical support eventually and therefore belief must locate within the scope of the logic support.As a truth of Praktik,theory is convincing only with its unique thoroughness indicating “belief” must be circulating in the path of theory and people.As the truth of existentialism,traditional problem of truth gradually disappears.Instead,a "home-made mapping game" appears and performs the original functions of the metaphysics and its corresponding view of truth,which is a kind of "belief" from the subjective perspective of the human.In addition,the basic reality in front of the “believe” problem is that philosophy is closer to the field of belief only if ittends to be depictive.If Marx's major work can be regarded as "a description of reality"-a description of people's practical and historical activities in reality-then many theories of modern philosophy can be seen as the development of it from different aspects in different forms.Therefore,the "description of reality" is intrinsically related to the "thinking of things".Moreover,one of the major objectives of philosophy becomesto believe “the guidance of the existent” and “the presence state” and to believe “the essence and the non-essence of truth”.Finally,the significance of the "belief"study is beneficial to overcome the "nihilism".The inner problem of nihilism is "do not believe",then investigating "belief" can be helpful toovercome nihilism.In other word,the boundary of nihilism is the “form of belief”.The logic of truth is investigated in Chapter 3,which aims to reveal "the things making truth to be true" and re-understanding the development of the truth theory.The empirical fact in front of the logic of truth is that truth is first presented as a "statement." The logic of truth raises three fundamental questions:1.The number of truth? In its essence,the study of truth in philosophy is a research and exploration of a truth,that is,the investigation of the form and standard of truth.However,from the perspective of itsargumentationprocess,philosophical research has enriched,validated,corroborated,implied the existence of multiple truths and the existence of pluralistic truths.In addition,philosophy creates the way for the performance of truths using a single truth.2.Is truth the "logic" of subjective truth or the "logos" of objective truth? Truth is transforming between the pure "logic" and formal "logos" forms and the origin of some discussions about truth even fades away resulting in a pure theoretical game.The truth must be "logos",and the philosophical truth must acquire the form of "logic".How to balance between "logic" and "logos" becomes an unavoidable problem in the truth theory in philosophy.3.Does Truth work in the way of origin or fulcrum?In the research of truth in philosophy,people always try to establish the origin support structures,but they are destined to collapse.Therefore,modern philosophy turns to the fulcrum support structure to seek for a breakthrough.The fundamental method of constructing the logic of truth is abstraction and reflection.The core strategy of constructing the truth theory is the interaction between “discover” and “cover”.The self-examination method of it is either resorting to a priori or relying on experience.The transition of truth expresses the characteristics of the historical changes in the construction of the logic of truth.This essay demonstrates the three major transitions and describes the basic characteristics.The first transition is “from opinion to conformity theory of truth”.The fundamental feature is to “abstract” “one” “logos” truths from the “material-rations” and treat it as the “origin” and ensure the function of truth with “awe” resulting in the formation of the basic concept of "conformity with truth".The political consequence is "the god of Christianity".The second transition is “from the subject to the rational theory of truth”.Its basic feature is to “rethink” “one” “logical” truths as “fulcrums” from “rationality” and use “competition” to ensure the operation of truth.The fundamental concept of "rationality is truth" is established,and the political consequence is "the god of fetishism."The third transition is “from reality to the creation of truth theory”,which is mainly accomplished by Hegel,Marx and Heidegger.The feature is to “describe” a series of truth principles from “emotion-state”,which are compatible with the "logical" and "logos” and function as "mutual fulcrums"."Conditions" are utilized to ensure the operation of truth,forming the concept of "creation is truth" and the political consequence is "the god of oneself,everyone is free for comprehensive development and the realization of Dasein."The form of belief is discussed in Chapter 4,which is to describe the fundamental form of belief under the guidance of Heidegger and Marx.For the description of the modalityof belief,Heidegger's four-in-one thought of "Heaven,Earth,God,and Man" is a "thought" with thesignificant revealing role.The thought of "four-in-one" transcends chaos and returns to simplicity and intends to achieve the transition from the integrity of disorder to the integrity of order.In addition,it also transcends the differences between opposites and tolerances,intending to achieve the transition from the forcing of bounds to the significance of the limit of meditation.Moreover,Heidegger's four-in-one thought transcends thedialectical retention time and intends toachieve the clarification from the "existence" progress to the "existence" meaning and it also transcends the entity of the modality of picking intending to achieve the development from the essence of technology to the origin of art.These reveal us:(1)abandon the duality and think within the domain;we should consider “belief” after understanding truth.(2)abandon the object of the action and think of the action itself;we must think about the modality among objects.(3)There are unique positions for heaven,earth,God and man;we must consider the mechanisms under the appearance.According to Heidegger's inspiration,this essay selects and demonstrates four important theoretical directions according to Marx's viewpoint and discovers that there is inherent uniformity between the thoughts of these two masters.This uniformity facilitates us to think about the "form of belief." As an ideological system,the ideology has an essence of “discovery" and this "discover" results from the free nature of thought."Ideology" itself can unite material production,historical science and future society,and is a reflection of the essence of these three terms.Material production has a decisive position in historical materialism and acquires obvious "covering" feature.The non-free nature of human thought caused by material production determines that people will never conclude on what to believe,unless the coerciveness of human mind as a result of material production vanishes.Under the circumstance that what to believe cannot be concluded,the form of belief issue is exposed,and it is worthwhile to “think” about the “mechanism” of the form of belief.The "future society" is an ideal terminology.Depicting the future society is the ideal promise or structural arrangement that every philosophical theory should be able toconduct.People can only guide the way forward,gain inner peace,and feel at ease with the hope of good.The future society as a "one party" reflecting the other parties must return to the parties to achieve "simple" unity.Marx's concept of "historical science" has its significant implications of "reference" and "inertia".Marx regards "Capital" as the "historical science".On the one hand,he grasps the perceptual world as an abstract logical structure by referring to modern science.Thisgives "historical science" the perceptual legitimacy of "concrete science".On the other hand,he develops the "pseudo-historical teleology" by referring to the different development of nature and resulting in the intrinsic theoretical rationality of the "historical science"."Historical science" is integrated with ideology,material production and the future society,and mutually reflect the essence of these four terms.Therefore,"historical science" is a theoretical construction with some kind of "inertia".
