Qinghua School of Logic and the origins of Taiwanese studies in modern logic : a note on the early thought of Mou Zongsan and Yin Haiguang

Vrhovski, Jan (author)

The article investigates the early thought of Mou Zongsan and Yin Haiguang, two important founding fathers of Taiwanese philosophy, who contributed significantly to its formation as an academic discipline in the two decades following 1949. The article reveals how their ideas related to modern logic originated from the so-called “Qinghua School of (Mathematical) Logic”. Herewith, the article tries to provide a platform that can be used to answer the questions of continuity and succession between the studies of modern logic as conducted at the most progressive (modernised) universities in late Republican China (especially Qinghua University) on the one side, and the formation and development of studies in logic in post-1949 Taiwan, on the other.

Abstract

lanek preučuje zgodnjo misel Mou Zongsana in Yin Haiguanga, dveh pomembnih soustanoviteljev tajvanske filozofije, ki sta v prvih dveh desetletjih po letu 1949 znatno prispevala k njenemu oblikovanju kot akademske discipline. Članek razkriva, kako so njune ideje, povezane z moderno logiko, izvirale v tako imenovani »šoli (matematične) logike Qinghua«. Prav tako poskuša priskrbeti platformo, s pomočjo katere lahko odgov-orimo na vprašanja kontinuitete in nasledstva med študijami moderne logike na najna-prednejših (moderniziranih) kitajskih univerzah v poznem republikanskem obdobju (s poudarkom na Univerzi Qinghua) ter snovanjem in razvojem študij moderne logike na Tajvanu po letu 1949.
