On Xun Kuang’s Thought Of Logic

The logic thought of Xun Kuang was produced in a certain social environment, and hadits specific historical background and academic background. At the same time, it also hadsome basis of objective and subjective, which was the epistemological basis of his ownsummary, and on that basis that his own summarized, a better system of his logic ideologywas formed. First of all, the core of Xun Kuang’s logic thought was the doctrine about the"Names".Xun Kuang thought the role of the "Names"was very important, therefore, he madea detailed exposition of the names. In the exposition, Xun Kuang classified the namesaccording to different standards, and he also pointed out the principles and methods of thenames’ constituting and using. Then he discussed the relationships of names andobjects.Secondly, Xun Kuang not only made a detailed analysis of the names, but also hadunique insights for the judgement. As the same as the late Mohism, Xun Kuang called"Speech"with the judgement and judgement fairly. On the analysis of the role of judgment,and how to achieve the correct analysis, he also proposed some dialectical points. Finally,when people couldn’t understand the judgement by the "Speech" expressed, we needexplanation and argument, and if people also couldn’t understand, we need the debate. XunKuang not only put forward a more complete system about the names, but also revealed alogical system of debate. Although Xun Kuang’s logic thought had some boundedness, hislogic thought was not only rich in content, but also was very incisive, which had the vitalsignificance for the development of the Chinese ancient logic history.
