On Luan Diaofu's Research Paradigm of Chinese Logic
Luan Diaofu proposed that there must be eight methods for reading Mozi,including investigating versions,correcting characters,smoothing exegesis,differentiating chap-ters and sentences,distinguishing truth from falsehood,determining the nature and cor-relation of each article,compiling lost works,and distinguishing similarities and dif-ferences.These eight methods are the endpoint named"empirical evidence".Based on these eight methods,Luan Diaofu constructed a knowledge system for the study of Mohist debate by the other endpoint named"potential understanding",which includes contents of philology and textual research on investigating versions,correcting charac-ters,smoothing exegesis of Mozi,and criticism of relevant research by contemporary scholars.There are also his own theoretical analyses,such as the belief that"the study of Mohist Debate"is also known as"the study of Name",which is only a synonym for Chinese logic,while other pre-Qin philosophers do not have the study Debate,and the characteristics of Chinese logic are distinguishing similarities and differences and clari-fying right and wrong.The study of Mohist Debate includes epistemology and theoreti-cal systems,among which epistemology is the ideological basis for the formation of the study of Mohist Debate.The theoretical system of the study of Mohist Debate includes the characteristics and types of Names,the characteristics and types of Propositions,the characteristics,structures,applications and types of Arguments,the definitions and types of wrong examples and arguments,etc.The study of Mohist Debate differs more than the same as the Hetuvidya and Aristotle's syllogism.However,Luan Diaofu also compared the application of"logic"in Mozi as a logical theory with syllogism and three branches of Hetuvidya.Whereas Luan Diaofu's paradigm of"empirical evidence and potential understanding"on Chinese logic research provides methodological significance for us to rebuild the Chinese logic ideology.
