Mr. Zhou Liquan is a famous logician and philosopher in contemporary China.
1954 inspired by the policy of "letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend", Mr. Zhou published "On the Two Main Stages of Concept Development". In this paper, Mr. Zhou inspected the exposition of concepts from Aristotle to Hegel, and on this basis, he affirmed the basic characteristics of Marxist essentialism and concept development theory. According to the spirit of On Practice, he distinguished different kinds of definitions, abstract concepts and concrete concepts, thus criticizing some practices of simplifying and vulgarizing Marxist research.
Mr. Zhou Liquan is one of the main representatives of spreading modern logic in China, and also one of the representatives of correctly spreading traditional logic knowledge in China. Mr. Zhou resolutely opposes equating traditional logic with metaphysics and all kinds of distortions of traditional logic. He has assisted editor-in-chief mr jin yuelin in compiling and revising the university textbook Formal Logic for many times. I started writing from 1962. After the Cultural Revolution, it was finally published in People's Publishing House from 1978. This book is the first formal logic textbook for colleges and universities in China since the founding of the People's Republic of China, which has overcome many mistakes and infiltrated the spirit of modern logic analysis, and has had an important influence in academic circles. As the deputy editor-in-chief, Mr. Zhou Liquan also assisted Mr. Wang Xianjun, the editor-in-chief, in carefully compiling the logical part of the Philosophical Volume of the Encyclopedia of China.
Mr. Zhou Liquan's main contribution to logic lies in natural language logic. In 1950s, he proposed that formal logic should be combined with natural language. After 1980s, he clearly pointed out that the study of natural language logic should be based on the combination of modern logic, modern linguistics and modern rhetoric, and modern logic should be applied to the analysis of natural language to establish a new logic system, thus expanding and enriching the scope of logic theory and providing more effective tools for people's daily thinking and communication. In his book Logic-Theory of Correct Thinking and Successful Communication, he put forward a natural language logic system focusing on meaning, context, implication and presupposition, and described a theory of successful communication. His thoughts are not only groundbreaking in China, but also creative internationally.
Introduction to Modal Logic by Mr. Zhou Liquan is the first academic monograph in China that systematically discusses modal logic and possible world. The last chapter of this book, A Brief History of Modal Logic, is a monograph on the history of modal logic and has unique academic value. Mr. Zhou's papers, such as Aristotle's Theory of Contradiction and law of excluded middle and Aristotle's Theory of Reasoning Logic, have comprehensively, systematically and creatively studied Aristotle's logical thoughts and philosophical thoughts. Mr. Zhou Liquan's Dialectical Logic of Hegel explained the rationality of Hegel's ideological system and its formalism disadvantages in a simple way. These works of Mr. Zhou are not only important achievements of philosophical research, but also models of philosophical research by using logical methods, and their clarity and rigor are well known.
Mr. Zhou Liquan is a scholar with a sense of justice. I once gave an academic report in Wuhan University and talked about unhealthy practices. He mentioned Kant's famous saying that "the sun, the moon and the stars are above me, and I have moral laws in my heart." He also mentioned Zhang Zai's famous saying, "Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, learn from the past, and be peaceful forever." I was in tears and couldn't help myself. Its lofty spirit is touching.
On the one hand, Mr. Zhou Liquan is meticulous in his studies. On the other hand, he tolerates others, rewards others, learns from others, and is tolerant and accommodating. He doesn't ask students to do anything, but believes that students will do it. He believes that the students will try their best to do everything well. His preciseness (truth) and his kindness (kindness) and tolerance (beauty) brought him to a harmonious state.
Deeply mourn for Mr. Zhou Liquan, a famous logician and philosopher in China!
Mr. Zhou Liquan died at 4: 45pm on June 7th, American time, at the age of 87. Deeply mourn Mr. Zhou Liquan! |
Mr. Zhou Liquan is worthy of being a famous scholar with important contributions, and his life is also a life of pursuing truth.
My classmate, Mr. Zhou Liquan (Su Tianfu)
Probably 1945 or 1946. One day, an old classmate of mine, Cha Ruichuan, came with Mr. Zhou and introduced him to me, saying that Mr. Zhou was a kind and knowledgeable elder. Since then, Mr. Zhou and I have become best friends. Later, I was admitted to Tsinghua, studied under Jin, lived in Tsinghua campus, and saw Mr. Zhou almost every day. I remember once, Mr. Zhou and I were lying on the grass beside the moonlight in the lotus pond in the evening, talking about the life of the universe. Mr. Zhou looked up at the sky and said, Go straight ahead, where can you go? In our view, it is nothing more than a conceptual explanation, which can't explain what the universe looks like at all. Once, I was sitting on the grass by the river reading Hume's book. Mr. Zhou Ran came over and said, Su Gong, please pull out a new white hair for me. Later, when Mr. Zhou was in the Academy of Social Sciences, I went to see Mr. Zhou. Teacher Zhou's hair is white, so we don't have to pull out a gray hair anymore. Mr. Zhou is a great help to me. Before I entered Tsinghua, I didn't understand Russell's type theory problem. What teacher Zhou wrote and talked about made me suddenly enlightened. I remember I had pneumonia. At that time (probably 1949), there happened to be no penicillin in the outpatient department in Tsinghua University. Mr. Zhou ran all over the city's pharmacies and bought penicillin, which cured my pneumonia. Every time before dinner, Miss Zhou and I would stroll around the Tsinghua campus, sometimes talking, and sometimes walking silently. I have a book on Tai Chi Chuan, which Mr. Zhou appreciates. Before Mr. Zhou left the country, I gave it to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou said, keep it, lest you get rid of it, and make a copy for me. I went to make two copies, one for Mr. Zhou and one for my parting gift. As soon as the Introduction to Modal Logic written by Mr. Zhou was published, he gave me a copy of Tianfu Brothers School. I cherish this book very much, and I cherish the encouragement from Mr. Zhou's inscription. The theory of language logic advocated by Mr. Zhou has benefited me a lot. I think I will make some efforts in this regard and report to Mr. Zhou.
The past is not always like smoke, and many things emerge from time to time.
Mr. Zhou, rest in peace. May you be happy and safe in heaven.
The commemoration of this book is as follows:
Advocating language argumentation, creating a precedent for a generation and lasting forever;
Spread profound philosophy and light fire, reflecting the true moon and rivers, and last forever.
The old friend Su Tianfu respects all.
