摘要
对于人之为逻辑动物与人之为语言动物的相互依托,学术上的一种理据是:逻辑知识与语言知识具有内在统一性。事实上,国际上作为哲学基础课程的逻辑学以及许多逻辑思维类人文通识课的核心内容,其常规形态是一套貌似“外语”的严格化形式语言。更重要的是,追问和认清逻辑学所提供的形式语言对理解母语以及我们自身的思维方式何以重要,会把我们引向自然语言中对应于形式语言“逻辑常项”的一类小词。逻辑理论的主要功用之一就是以严格而系统的方式阐释这些广为使用却常被忽视的小词的意义。关注这类小词的精确意义与多样用法,不仅有助于深度领会逻辑与语言的贯通,还可以新的视角重估长期以来困扰逻辑哲学家的一些难题。
The mutual dependence of humans as logical animals and as discursive creatures is academically supported by the inherent unity of logical knowledge and language knowledge.Internationally recognized as a fundamental course in philosophy and a core component of many humanities courses emphasizing logical thinking,the study of logic typically involves a rigorous formal language that may appear to be“foreign language”to learners.Importantly,exploring the significance of the formal language provided by logic for understanding our native language and our cognitive processes leads us to a class of particles in natural language that correspond to the“logical constants”in formal language.One of the primary functions of logical theory is to explicate these commonly used yet often overlooked particles in a strict and systematic manner.Scrutinizing the precise meanings and the intricate variety of these particles not only facilitates a profound understanding of the interplay between logic and language,but also offers a fresh perspective to reassess some long-standing challenges that have perplexed logicians and philosophers.
