Systematic Understanding of Logical Thinking —— Logic, Thinking Mode and Thinking Mode

The so-called thinking refers to the attribute ability and process of logical reasoning in the human brain. Is there a theory that specializes in thinking patterns? -It's logic. Rational logical thinking ability is an important bridge between philosophy and science.

The son of philosophy is called science, and hundreds of sons of science are the grandchildren of philosophy, that is, various disciplines, such as physics, chemistry, psychology and so on. What guides mankind from philosophy to science is narrow sense logic, namely rational logic, which is divided into formal logic, dialectical logic and mathematical logic.

What kind of thinking patterns and habits, you can see what kind of world.

Laozi said: Tao has no skill, but it can still seek skill; No way, stop at surgery.

The difference between Tao and technique here can be understood as the difference between way of thinking and solution. A set of thinking mode can solve a kind of problem, and a solution can only solve one problem. Learning philosophy is more about learning how to think effectively and deeply, that is, mastering Tao.

Because of this different way of thinking, theology explains all unknowable, sociology explains all the principles of social collective operation and scientifically explains all natural phenomena. It is known that they all have their own markets, believers and strength.

1, what is the idea?

Thinking is initially a process of generalization and indirect reaction of human brain to things by means of language. Thinking is based on perception and transcends the boundaries of perception. Thinking in the usual sense involves all cognitive or intellectual activities. It explores and discovers the intrinsic relationship and regularity of things, which is an advanced stage of cognitive process. For example, Zhe Ke's thinking is a rational and logical way of thinking that is future-oriented, innovative and uncertain.

With the deepening of research, people find that besides logical thinking, there are also thinking forms such as image thinking and creative thinking. Logical thinking is also called abstract thinking, image thinking is also called concrete thinking, and creative thinking is also called inspiration thinking.

2. What is logic?

Logic is the study of the laws of thinking. The development of logic and logic has gone through three stages: concrete logic-abstract logic-symmetrical logic in which concrete logic and abstract logic are unified. ?

Logic can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense.

Logic in a narrow sense refers to the science of reasoning, that is, the science that only studies how to draw conclusions from premises.

Logic in a broad sense refers to the science of studying thinking forms, laws and logical methods. The research scope of generalized logic is relatively large, which is a traditional understanding and has a lot to do with philosophical research.

The whole system of logic discipline is very large and complex, such as: traditional, modern and dialectical, deductive, inductive and analogical, classic and non-classic ... but no matter how complex, there are similarities, such as: constructing judgment methods; Carry out inevitable reasoning; Identify with logical truth or law, etc.

When we go to school and take exams, we choose various subjects to study. Do you think it is possible to learn all the subjects well and become a truly omniscient and knowledgeable person? That's impossible. This vertical road to success is wrong, and erudition is by no means the truth.

What you and I should really strive for is to walk sideways and focus on the study of thinking modes, which can be divided into rational logic thinking mode and irrational logic thinking mode.

Laying this foundation is the most important thing. Then, the most important step is that you need to call the knowledge system of the discipline for your immediate survival and development, so that you can call the discipline with rational logical thinking ability and irrational logical thinking ability, and the knowledge of practical thinking model in this field will serve your survival and development.

Rational logical thinking mode and other irrational logical thinking modes, the comprehensive application of these cognitive abilities is the core cognitive ability that will accompany you and me all my life. It is not easy to establish a solid core of telling the truth, which requires you to have both rational Zhe Ke thinking and irrational characteristic thinking. You need to use all kinds of thinking modes flexibly, handle things in different scenarios and positions, and deal with them accurately and efficiently.

I have to admit, this is really a huge challenge! ! !

3. What is a mode of thinking?

In fact, you can live a simple and relaxed life, that is, focus on mastering the knowledge and ability at the application level to maintain your own survival and development, that is, thinking mode, which is an efficient and practical learning method. Learn to use it when you need it, and learn to put it away when you don't need it.

Ordinary people's cognitive system is solidified and rooted in pure experience. Fishermen's life experience and knowledge are all about fishing. If he is admitted to the shoe factory, he will have a very uncomfortable and painful stage, from a role about fishermen to another role about workers on the production line. If the factory's foreign trade list is suddenly reduced and laid off because of the COVID-19 incident, he will immediately fall into a dangerous situation of losing inventory. Re-employment is a super unsuitable process.

And what cognitive abilities do we need to practice deliberately?

That is, the modular combination of cognitive ability and the super cognitive ability refinement of middleware style of thinking mode+thinking model allow you to quickly enter the role in two ways no matter what kind of life and work scenes you face.

1. Stand on the shoulders of giants, learn from teachers, and quickly adapt to the horizontal connection of interpersonal relationships.

2. Self-exploration, search and collect knowledge points of all professional disciplines needed to maintain this job or project, and quickly absorb them through search engines, professional books and professional forums.

Whether you learn from a teacher or teach yourself, your thinking ability determines the speed and quality of your entry into a new role. There are many combinations here. Thinking mode can be compared to "operating system" and thinking mode can be compared to "application app", for example:

1, the abbreviation of Zhe Ke's rational and logical thinking mode:

What's Zhe Ke thinking? +? thought pattern

2, perceptual thinking mode abbreviation:

Perceptual thinking? +mode of thinking

3, the way of thinking of music dancers:

Artistic thinking? +mode of thinking

……

So many ways of thinking, you need to recognize their value, so what is the value anchor? Otherwise, it must be mutually unpleasant. My understanding is that it is the coping strategy he needs to maintain his current existence and future development. ? Existence is reasonable.

4, thinking mode example-logical thinking pyramid

Thinking model is a tool to describe a certain aspect or local law or approximate law phenomenon of complex systems in the real world, or it becomes structured thinking.

Because the human brain is easier to process regular information, structured thinking is the thinking process of breaking down a problem into parts that can be solved through a certain structure when we face it. It is a thinking process from disorder to order.

Application scenario: information input, processing and output.

The following is an example of a typical pyramid thinking model in logical thinking:

Vertical: the hierarchy should have structure, which is different aspects of the problem and various reasons.

Horizontal: the content of each layer should also conform to the structure, and the way of classification and grouping should be detailed and orderly.

-Identifying and organizing information (understandable)

Vertical structure: total score structure

Find a conclusion: the structure of prompt words (so, so, visible, I think ……) and several important positions (the beginning and end of an article or paragraph). If you are in the process of conversation, you can ask.

Find the reason: prompt to explain the reason (reason, in view of, the first/second/third …).

Find the facts: objective data, no examples of clean colors.

Distinguish logical relations: conclusions and reasons should be proved by objective facts, and there should be relations between conclusions and reasons and between conclusions and facts.

-Thinking and analyzing information (thorough thinking)

Horizontal disassembly: classification and sequencing

MECE principle: mutual independence and complete exhaustion

MECE classification (5 +X):

1、? Dichotomy: A and non-A, such as male and female, left and right, etc.

2、? Process method: according to the time and process of development.

3、? Factor method: all aspects of affairs, such as organization chart, seven qualities of excellent employees.

4、? Formula method: sales = unit price * quantity

5、? Matrix method: quadratic dichotomy, such as important * urgent.

6、? Models of specific scenarios: 3C method of marketing strategy, 4P method of marketing strategy and closed-loop PDCA method.

-Summarize and express information (clear statement)

1、? Refine and summarize conclusions: induction and deduction.

2、? Clearly express information: clearly express four principles (conclusion first, up and down, classification and grouping, logical progression)
