the development of the logical method in ancient china
Book • 1968
Hu Shih's 'The Development of the Logical Method in Ancient China' traces forms of reasoning and logical method in early Chinese texts, arguing for indigenous analytic tendencies.
Originally his doctoral work, the study influenced 20th-century scholarship by highlighting parallels between Chinese and Western logical inquiry.
Hu used this framework to advocate for modernizing Chinese intellectual life and re-evaluating classical texts through critical methods.
The work played a part in subsequent reinterpretations of schools like the School of Names and the role of language in Chinese philosophy.
While subject to later debate and revision, it remains a foundational contribution to modern Sinology and comparative philosophy.
