Nouns,Verbs,and Their Internal Relations in the Concept of Equipment
There is a development trend in modern Western philosophy,that the focus of most philosophers have been shifting from noun to verb.The traditional concept of equipment is summarized from various sensory and concrete equipment entities,such as plows,rakes,knives,and guns,and that interprets verbs from the perspective of nouns.In fact,it understands equipment entities as natural entities,does not involve the issue of equipment origin.That can smoothly explain procurement,assembly,use,and subsequent equipment activities,but it cannot scientifically explain equipment research and development activities such as original creativity and design.This equipment concept not only does not conform to the logic of equipment,but also does not conform to the historical facts of equipment development.Because the creation of equipment has logical priority,and it forms the premise and foundation for the application of equipment.Generally speaking,all sensory and concrete thing arises and disappears in motion.In this sense,the reason why equipment becomes equipment is determined by the actions or behaviors of equipment corresponding with the same verb"equip".Following this approach,it can be proven that,both the equipment subject and the equipment object are products of equipment activities.It is worth noting that,the equipment subjects and equipment objects,created by equipment activities,would be undergo new equipment activities,and then will create new equipment subjects and equipment objects,and in the process which would be promoting the professional development of society step by step.Equipment theorists,especially those in China,should liberate their minds,break free from the misconceptions of traditional equipment concepts,consciously start theirwork from the equipment philosophy centered on verbs,and rationally reconstruct existing equipment theories.Starting from verb"equip",the key is to understand and grasp the concept of possible equipment.Before equipping physical equipment,people need to first equip possible equipment in their minds.Therefore,people should learn to conceive possible equipment on the possible world thinking platform,and theoretically incorporate it into the logical object category of verb"equip",that the action has universality,so as to integrate equipment construction and equipment deconstruction,which are two completely different types of equipment activities,on the virtual thought platform of the possible world.The former is grow out of nothing,or creating something out of nothing,which is a great invention and creation,the latter goes from having to not having,which is pure consumption.Equipment science needs a unified theory.Developing equipment theory with the verb"equip"as the core,that is not only a major trend in the development of modern philosophy,but also an inherent requirement for the improvement and development of equipment theory.At the same time,it also constitutes the logical premise and ideological foundation for equipment development to move from imitation to originality in developing countries including China tomorrow.It can serve as a basic principle of equipment science and a top-level rule for equipment development strategy that conceives possible equipment in a possible world firstly.
