A Study of Mohist Logic

More about the book

This book examines the background and significance of the historical and cultural origins of Mohist logic, fully affirming the original classical text, the interpretation of its philosophical content, and the production of translations. It responds to different points of views held by various scholars, particularly the view prevalent in the previous century which rejected the idea that there was such a thing as Mohist logic. The question of language level is mainly embodied in the non-formal logic, or critical thinking, that is currently emerging in the West. At the meta-theoretical level, it examines theories and principles of formal logic.
