人类非逻辑思维辨析

按照皮亚杰的观点,成人的思维发展已达到“形式运算”的阶段,能够依据形式逻辑规则进行抽象的合乎逻辑的判断和推理。从此以后,根据逻辑的标准判断人类的推理是否是理性的就自然而然被接受了。然而最近的一些研究发现,人类在现实生活中并不完全遵照形式逻辑的规则来思维,在许多时候都表现出非逻辑的一面,似乎有另一种大家公认的“心理逻辑”。但是,非逻辑并不意味着非理性,从生态学的角度说,很多时候心理逻辑具有理性的一面。

On Human Illogical Thinking

According to Piaget,the development of adult thinking has reached the "formal operation" stage characterized by making abstract,logic judgment and decision through formal logic rules.Since then,it has been accepted that whether human reasoning is rational or not is based on the logic norm.However,recent studies indicate that instead of always thinking logically,humans sometimes think illogically in reality,showing the importance of "mental logic".But illogic doesn't mean irrationality;on the contrary,they both have much in common from an ecological point of view.
