文化如何影响逻辑?——基于大脑认知三进程理论的机制分析

How does culture influence logic?Mechanism analysis based on the Tri-Process Theory

逻辑与文化的关系是逻辑研究中的重要主题,文化如何影响逻辑?逻辑学就文化影响逻辑的机制进行一般性阐释,脑科学将文化影响逻辑的机制阐释为文化对神经元或脑区活动的影响,二者在阐明文化影响逻辑的具体机制方面都不够深入。大脑认知三进程理论将人的认知活动概括为情感、效率、公平三个进程,可为文化影响逻辑的机制分析提供合适的框架。通过引入这一分析框架,结合理论和案例分析,文化影响逻辑的具体机制可得到更根本和新颖的解释,推理和论证的一般分析框架可得到拓展。文化通过塑造认知进程,选择认知进程博弈中的优胜进程,决定人们的推理和论证方式。从认知的角度理解文化与逻辑的关系,有助于我们做出更好的推理和论证。

,the interpretation of the latter too specific.However,these explanations fail to reveal the fundamental mechanism of the influence which culture acts on logic.Cognitive science is the foundation of knowledge.The Tri-Process Theory defines human cognitive activities into three processes:affection,utility,and fairness,which can provide a suitable analytical framework for the problem.Therefore,based on the Tri-Process Theory in cognition science,this paper attempts to make a more specific explanation of the fundamental mechanism through theoretical analysis and case analysis,provide a new analytical framework for logical reasoning and argumentation.This paper argues that culture influence logic through cognitive processes,that is,culture shapes cognitive process,and cognitive process determines the selection of rules and the way of reasoning in logic.Introducing the Tri-Process Theory into logic studies will help us to make better reasoning and argumentation.
