    "There is no philosophy in China" is not a pejorative meaning. Strictly speaking, philosophy is exclusive to the Western cultural tradition, and Chinese philosophy does not need to be considered philosophy unless we use it in an analogical or figurative way.

    Given the independence of the Chinese intellectual tradition, it may be better to replace Chinese philosophy with the term sinosophy. It can be seen that the saying that "there is no philosophy in China" may sometimes be out of a kind of respect, which means that traditional thought should not be completely reduced to the framework of "philosophy" to be understood.

    Based on this viewpoint, many ideas that have been influenced by the West since the end of the Qing Dynasty can be said to be a kind of philosophy.

    However, the ideas of Confucius, Mencius, Lao, and Zhuang cannot be regarded as philosophy, because they are independent ideological and cultural developments under the special historical context of China, and their content and value cannot and should not be summarized by the word "philosophy" derived from ancient Greece.

    China did not produce logic, I think it is because the Chinese have been feudal for a long time, most of the ideas are concentrated in the hands of the emperor, and the Chinese pay more attention to sentiment and meaning, and rarely talk about logic.

    Logic is too cumbersome. Once you have logical requirements, people will ask you at every turn, do you have any logic in speaking? Are you doing things logically?

    Be logical when you speak, and be logical when you do things. This is not in line with the Chinese habit of speaking and doing things. The purpose of Confucius dividing people into three seasons and four seasons is to tell us that logic does not work in China, and our cultural inheritance is the cultural inheritance that does not speak of logic.

    How can a cultural heritage that does not speak of logic produce logic? Without logic, you can do whatever you want when you speak, and you can do what you can't do. With logic, you will be afraid of what you can do, and you will not be able to do what you can.

    Because Chinese logic is infiltrated into the courses of mathematics, politics and Mao, there is no separate discipline of logic.

    The vitality of the way of thinking lies in the social basis on which it is produced, and the Western society is based on the rational individual, with certainty and clarity as the premise, and only the logical method can be recognized and realized: China takes the collective of virtue as the foundation, and the collective values are given by the aphorisms of the sages, and the individual practices it through action, so the way of thinking can only be recognized and realized through the moral philosophy of self-cultivation.

    Logic belongs to a branch of philosophy in which mathematical logic is closely linked to the basic theories of mathematics, but in any case, logic does not belong to the category of literature. It is an indisputable fact that ancient Chinese philosophy did not develop the discipline of logic. There are two reasons for the speculative logic in the writings of the ancients that there was systematic logic in ancient China, one is the strict control of Confucianism over the subjects of study, and the other is that the basic theories of mathematics are not systematic.

    Because there is no need, China is an agricultural civilization, does it need logic for farming, no, what is needed for farming is experience, so China likes to end the experience of its predecessors since ancient times, but does not like logical reasoning.

    The scope of logic is like that, and every one of them is like that, and the difficulty of logic is the same as the difficulty of philosophy, and some of the topics are not the content of logic.

    Did the chicken come first in the world, or did the egg come first? Scientists have finally found the answer?

    Chickens first? Or did it come first?

    Men first? Or did it come first?

    In the scientific world, the science network has put forward this idea for nearly 30 years, and there are also flat universes and celestial bodies floating in the sky.

    So far, no one has said a single or two point of view.

    The Mo family is very powerful, but it is a pity that for 2,000 years, "deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism", and all of them became bookworms who can only preach, be slaves, and cannot experiment and innovate.

    Philosophy of logic; Philosophical logic is philosophical logic.

    Historically, the two concepts have been confused, but they are now largely distinct.

    You can see Susan Haack's classic writings.

    The term philosophical logic is still controversial, and it is generally believed that it is: using logic to analyze philosophical problems, that is, the logic of analytic philosophical problems. For example:

    Modal logic (dealing with metaphysical concepts such as necessity and possibility), temporal logic, deontological logic, etc. These can all be said to be "philosophical logic".

    History is the reality of the past, just as reality is the history of the future (Li Dazhao).

    Marx's philosophy refers to the following points:

    1) The process of development of nature and human society, which also refers to the process of development of something or the experience of an individual. Example: The history of the earth and the history of mankind.

    b) Past events. Example: This is a thing of the past.

    3) Records of past facts.

    4) Refers to the discipline of history.

    Logic usually refers to the laws by which people think about problems and arrive at reasonable conclusions based on certain known conditions.

    Logic is a discipline that is separated from philosophy.

    Philosophy is the study of the worldview, and philosophy is the study of the abstract interrelationship between all beings.

    Abstraction is a fundamental feature of philosophy. Why is philosophy abstract? Because all beings have an abstract identity between them, and this abstract identity is the abstract identity of the internal structure and the abstract identity of the external relationship.

    It is on the basis of this abstract unity that it is possible for us to feel the existence of everything that exists. What philosophy has to do is to elaborate on the content of this abstract identity.

    Whereas, logic is the discipline that studies concepts, judgments, and reasoning. It has a strong instrumentality. Logic is a tool, it has no class character, philosophy has a strong class character.
