Based on reports of fieldwork among the Azande and the fruits of research on ancient Chinese logic and the logic of Buddhism, this paper attempts to provide a factual foundation for the proposition ＂the cultural relativity of logic＂ from a descriptive perspective. Adopting deductive argument as a meta-method, this paper argues for the existence of the cultural relativity of logic in modern culture and of the translated version of the logic of other cultures in modem culture. With the aid of ethnography and the historical research findings, we show that the logic of other cultures also has its own cultural relativity. We also seek to show through the concepts of language games and life forms that deductive argumentation as a meta-method likewise possesses cultural relativity.展开更多

Specifically, the status of the individual as the subject of private law has been gradually established, the autonomy of private law as the cornerstone of civil law has been laid down, private interests and rights have been recognized and genuinely guaranteed, and the scientific nature of civil law has developed rapidly. However, there is still some room for improvement in degree of formal rationality of current civil law. Upholding the autonomy and formal and rational development of civil law is of great significance for Chinese society. At the same time, it is necessary to preserve a certain degree of openness in civil law in order to overcome some inherent defects in formal rational law.展开更多
