Abstract

Logic study of the history of China nearly a century. The results show that the ancient Chinese learned the name of debate in the West is not the same logic learning theory. What debate were the nature of science is description of the study? It is not a logical theory? This is a problem to be solved. Logical study of the history of contemporary China In order to show the tendency in the west of interpretation, this tendency has a necessity. But west of the release must not mean that you can use in the West to dismember any theoretical study of ancient Chinese description. We can not guarantee the objectivity of the text to explain, but it must be asked to explain a reasonable nature. We should be based on the ancient Chinese, the use of words such as the name of the pre-Qin writings of debate and make a reasonable explanation. The development of modern academic interpreted with the pre-Qin In order to provide school name debate new perspectives and new tools. Using new tools refresh debate school name description, the ancient Chinese discovered the unique logic theory is entirely possible. The research of the history of Chinese logic has been going on for about a century. The research suggests that the theory of names and argumentation in ancient China is quite different from Western logic theories. What is the nature of the theory? Is it logic theory ? These questions need to be answered. Contemporary research of the history of Chinese logic exhibits an inclination of interpreting Chinese theories with Western theories. The inclination is somewhat necessary. But this does not mean that ancient Chinese theories should be dismembered arbitrarily by Western theories. The interpretation of the texts cannot be guaranteed objective, but is necessarily reasonable. We should interpret Pre-Qin works of names and argumentation reasonably according to the usages of ancient Chinese, etc. Contemporary academic development provides new dimensions and new tools for interpreting Pre- Qin theory of names and argumentation. With these new tools, we can quite probably discover a specific logic theory in ancient Chinese theory of names and argumentation
