2. meaning of philosophy
Philosophy is defined as the quest for truth through logical reasoning rather than empirical observation. The main branches of philosophy are metaphysics, epistemology, and axiology. Metaphysics deals with the nature of reality and being. Epistemology is the study of knowledge and how we know what is true. Axiology studies values and determines what is considered good. Ethics is derived from axiology and examines the morality of human actions.
History of logic
The document discusses the history and development of logic from ancient times to modern times. It covers the major philosophers and schools of thought that contributed to logic, including Aristotle, Plato, the Stoics, Islamic philosophers like Avicenna and Al-Farabi, and progress in the 20th century with Gödel and Tarski. It also discusses the rise of modern logic in the 19th century as the field became more formalized and mathematical. The three basic functions of language are identified as the informative function, expressive function, and directive function.

Logic
This document provides an overview of logic, including its definition, methods of reasoning, divisions, and key concepts. Logic is concerned with correct thinking and reasoning. It can be considered both an art that guides reason and a science that investigates and explains laws of thought. There are two main methods of reasoning - inductive, which obtains universal knowledge from particular cases, and deductive, which proceeds from universal to particular. Logic is divided into formal logic, which focuses on correct thinking, and material logic, which studies main philosophical problems in logic. Key concepts explained include terms, propositions, and inference.
Metaphors we live by
1. The document discusses how human thought processes are largely metaphorical and our concepts structure how we perceive the world and relate to others.
2. It provides examples of common metaphors like "arguments are war" and suggests alternative metaphors can have different implications for culture, relationships, and schools.
3. The key point is that we are often unaware of the metaphors that structure our thinking and these metaphors are partially preserved in cultural rituals. Paying attention to our conceptual metaphors is important for leadership.

Origin and development of pragmatics
1) Pragmatics deals with contextual meaning in language and originated from philosophy of language traditions. It became a distinct field in linguistics in the 1950s due to the work of philosophers like J.L. Austin and H.P. Grice.
2) In the mid-20th century, pragmatics was viewed as a "waste basket" of linguistics where unsolved elements of meaning were placed. However, works by Chomsky, Fillmore, Horn, and Gazdar established pragmatics as a legitimate field.
3) Pragmatics differs from semantics in that semantics focuses on literal meaning extracted from words alone, while pragmatics examines how context refines meaning.

It emphasizes that every human person is unique and has inherent dignity due to their rational spiritual nature.
Laozi And Tao Te Ching
The document provides background information on Laozi and the Tao Te Ching. It discusses that Taoist thought presupposes liberation from social conventions. The Tao is described as the natural path or order of the universe. The Tao Te Ching, attributed to Laozi from the 4th century BC, expresses the harmony between man and nature without building a systematic philosophy. Laozi proposes a view where man and all beings rely on and are united with nature in essence.
Tao Living - Origins
Laozi is traditionally considered the author of the Daodejing (Tao Te Ching), an ancient Chinese text that is fundamental to Taoist philosophy. According to legend, Laozi was an archivist for the Zhou dynasty who left China at age 160 to live as a hermit. He was stopped at the western gate by a guard who asked him to write down his wisdom, which became the Daodejing. The text explores Taoist concepts like yin and yang and the balance of opposites in nature. It teaches that following the natural flow of Tao and practicing non-action and simplicity are keys to living virtuously according to Taoist principles. The Daodejing has greatly influenced Chinese thought
Ethnomethodology
Ethnomethodology is an approach introduced by Harold Garfinkel that studies the everyday methods people use to produce social order. It examines how people make sense of their world through common practices and language. Ethnomethodology focuses on the practical activities and reasoning processes that people use in their everyday lives and views social reality as an ongoing accomplishment. Researchers use methods like interviews, observation, and experiments to understand these everyday methods of sense-making.

It traces the origins and early thinkers in sociology like Comte, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber who made important contributions to the field.
1 Essay 1 In The Origins of the Legend of Lao Tan L.docx

Essay 1
In The Origins of the Legend of Lao Tan Lao-Tzu is depicted as one person from two
different kingdoms. There is a phrase on the first page that is interesting and is the following “a
good merchant fills his store-houses but appears to have nothing: a true gentleman is overflowing
with virtue but looks as if he was a fool” (pp.23) and this man was from Chou. The next phrase
that is interesting is “Lao-Tzu lived at least 160 years, some say at least 200 years, as a result of
cultivating the Way and nurturing longevity (pp.24)” and this man was from Ch’u. It appears that
those two phrases relate the best to the Dao De Jing the best (at least what we looked at so far in
class). With these couple of phrases it appears that the tale of Laozi is Daoist; but compared to
Confucianism to make it completely Chinese in origin.
The first phrase that I mentioned about the merchant filling his store house but appears to
have nothing seems to be referring to what the Dao De Jing says “he accumulates an abundance
of virtue.” This passage seems to be behind the description of Laozi, because a merchant with
nothing tangible to sell cannot be a merchant (for long). The first part also appears to be talking
about “that which is completely empty endures” in the Dao that we have read so far it mentions
that to follow the Dao to be whole you must be empty.
The second part of the first phrase I think came from the Dao De Jing as well and not
from Confucianism. In the first part of the Guodian it says “cut off knowledge and discard
disputation, cut off skill and discard benefit, and cut off purposiveness and discard worry.” By
cutting off all these things a person would look like a fool. Also, by cutting off these things a
person would appear to have nothing and therefore would appear to be the only one left in his
family, which would be a bad thing in Confucianism (have no family).
2
The second phrase that I mentioned also appears to be written after the Dao De Jing and
to be Daoist in origin. In Confucianism you continuously live through being remembered by later
generations; but in Daoism there are passages that appear to try and lead you toward finding
immortality or long life. The second phrase mentioned that Laozi lived for as long as 200 years
by cultivating the Way thus was able to nurture longevity.
One of the parts of the Dao says “they are born and move, move and reach death” and
another passage says “through attempting nothing, everything will be done.” These two passages
would seem to promote a Daoist origin, because they are encouraging longevity and eventually
immortality. The first passage that I wrote appears to be talking about making only necessary
movements as to not waste the energy that feeds the souls. The second passage appears to mean
that through following the Dao things will fall into place on their own which will promote
longevity because you do not ...

Chinese religion
Chinese religion is a syncretic tradition combining elements of animism, Daoism, Confucianism, and Buddhism. Early Chinese religion involved polytheism, ancestor worship, and a focus on morality. Daoism and Confucianism later developed as schools of thought addressing societal problems. Daoism teaches that life should be lived simply in harmony with the mysterious force of Tao. Confucianism focuses on social order and ethics. The Chinese government has tried to regulate this complex religious system over time.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
