逻辑与形而上学

亚里士多德逻辑的核心是"S是P"这种句式,他的形而上学的核心是"是本身",因此,逻辑和形而上学是相通的。其间,"是"与"真"的联系至关重要。现代逻辑语义学的核心概念是"真",语言哲学的核心概念也是真,因此,现在逻辑语义学与语言哲学也是相通的。运用不同的逻辑方法得出不同的结果,但都显示了逻辑与形而上学的密切关系。逻辑与形而上学的关系,或者说,逻辑与哲学的关系,是理解西方哲学的一个重要环节。

Logic and metaphysics

As the core of Aristotle's logic is such a sentence as "S be P", and that of his metaphysics is "being itself", logic and metaphysics are interlinked, in which the relation between "be" and "true" is of vital importance. The key concept in modern logical semantics is "true", in linguistic philosophy as well, so logic semantics and linguistic philosophy are also interlinked. Different results stem from different logical methods used, but the close relation between logic and metaphysics can, thus, be demonstrated. The relation between logic and metaphysics, or that between logic and philosophy plays a pivotal role in understanding western philosophy.
