This turn from physics to language does not only realize the remarkable extension of quantum mechanics but also yield the quantum mechanical world view (i.e., the philosophy of quantum mechanics). And thus, the turn urges us to dream that traditional philosophies (i.e., Parmenides, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, John Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, Saussure, Wittgenstein, etc.) can be understood in the quantum mechanical world view. This dream will be challenged in this paper. We, of course, know that most scientists are skeptical to philosophy. Still, we can expect that readers find a good linguistic philosophy (i.e. philosophy of language) in quantum mechanics.展开更多

In LG-R^* we proved that neither the deduction theorem nor the hypothetical syllogism (HS) rule held but a deduction theorem and an HS rule are obtained in a weak sense. We also proved that both the deduction theorem and the hypothetical syllogism(HS) rule hold in LG^*.展开更多

But he failed to recognize syllogistic necessity, reducing this necessity to ＂formal implication＂ as introduced by Russell, when Aristotle shows it as binding relations between three terms. On the contrary, Paul Lorenzen directly recognized syllogistic necessity as the typical example of his own logical implication. His reconstruction of syllogistic differs from the original by his interpretation of particular propositions as the determination of classes which are specified by predicates. The result is the representation of valid moods as the board of all multiplications of relations which are permitted. These relations are not only the Aristotelian ,4, E,I, O, but also the new converse asymmetrical relations of A and O： （a） and （o）.展开更多

METHODS: Comparing logic reasoning of syllogism with the logical thinking ofTCM pattern differentiation for treatment. RESULTS:TCM logical thinking depends on symbolic and intuitive judgment with abstractive reasoning integrated into the process. Although it lacks quantitative measurement, it pays great attention to the comprehensive analysis of a disease's cause and its development patterns to get insight into the essence of illness. CONCLUSION: TCM diagnosis reasoning methodmay lack rigorousness, continuity, systematic induction and deduction, but its logical thinking still can attain its goal following a process with rigorous, regulated and scientific formal logic.展开更多
