Abstract

The author argues that the conventional symbolic function, which is characteristic of the phonetic type of writing, contrasts with the iconic (in the sense of Charles Pierce) nature of Chinese pictograms and ideograms. The influence of the fundamentally non-symbolic paradigm, distinctive of the Chinese mode of thinking, on the representation of basic logical principles in Chinese logical tradition is further analyzed.
