Cui Qingtian's Academic History Of Chinese Logic History

Cui Qingtian is a famous contemporary logician and Chinese logic historian.In the study of the history of contemporary Chinese logic,Cui Qingtian created many firsts: the first to propose the concept of “Chinese interpretation according to the Western ”;the first to propose the concept of “historical analysis” and “cultural interpretation”;the first to propose “The type of the logic reasoning in ancient China”-the type of analogy;the most detailed explanation of the problem of logical universality and particularity.As a result of his outstanding achievements,his achievements have been included in A Survey of Academic Achievements of Famous Scientists in China in the 20 th Century.His academic viewpoints and research methods have so far taken a lead in the research direction of Chinese logic history.Therefore,exploring Cui Qingtian's logical thoughts has important theoretical significance for the study of Chinese logic history both now and in the future.The thesis makes use of the literature research method and interviewing method to expound Cui Qingtian's logic ideas.The full text is divided into five chapters.The first chapter introduces Cui Qingtian's teaching and research.The second chapter,the third chapter and the fourth chapter mainly explain the research situation of Cui Qingtian's Chinese logic history,which is also the focus of this thesis.The fifth chapter reviews the contribution of Cui Qingtian's research to the history of Chinese logic.According to Cui Qingtian's academic achievements,his academic history is divided into three stages.The first phase was the exploration period,from the early 1980 s to the mid-1990 s.At this time,Cui Qingtian basically accepted the predecessor's point of view: First,the Mohist logical object is consistent with the Western formal logic.Second,the research method is to use the Western formal logic to compare that of the Mohist logic.The second stage is the maturity period from the mid-1990 s to the early 21 st century.This stage is an important period of Cui Qingtian's academic history.Cui Qingtian's views at this time have surpassed the predecessors: First,he put forward a new method of “history analysis” and “cultural interpretation”.Second,by returning to the homeland he systematically sorted out forensics and logic.Third,he made a comparative analysis of the difference between the Mohist logic and the Western formal logic.Fourth,he raised the issues of logical universality and particularity.Fifth,he summed up the types of dominant reasoning in ancient Chinese logic as analogy.The third stage is the deepening period from the beginning of the 21 st century.Cui Qingtian's research at this time has expanded the scope of Chinese logic history research,not only focusing on the theme of cultural constraints logic,but also paying more attention to the topic of culture influenced by logic: First,Chinese traditional culture was influenced by ancient Chinese logic.Second,modern Western logic brought influence on Chinese culture.Exploring the academic history of Cui Qingtian,I hope to present the ideological viewpoints and scholarly styles of the elder generation of scientists to the academic circles.
