Abstract

Chapter 3 is the core of the whole book. If this chapter could not hold water, nor would the whole book. In particular, Sect. 4 (the argument for the state of the inner language holography in terms of the law of cosmos holography) and Sect. 5 (the argument again in terms of the system theory) are the most critical. When the state of the inner language holography attains the support of the law of cosmos holography and the system theory, the “eye” of Chapter 3 would be lived; when Chapter 3 is lived, the whole book would be so. This notwithstanding, to understand the demonstrating process of the state of the inner language holography, we must know about the several key terms of the law of cosmos holography, the law of biology holography, the law of biology repetition, and the law of material-spiritual holography.

    This investigation aimed at demonstrating that the Western ontology cannot be obtained in Chinese even after considerable meditations. The theory of “ou, ont-” in Western philosophy results from the meditations in Western languages. The kernel problem in Western philosophy is to study “ont-” (equaling to being or das Sein). “Shi” qua a judgment word appeared late in Chinese, so how can there be “the theory of ont-” in Chinese philosophy? The demonstration is in Sect. 2 (The different language directions of Chinese and Western philosophies) of Chapter 2 (Prospect: inquiries from philosophy to language) of my Language: the Last Homestead of Human Beings.

    I originally planned to put clause before sentence in this level but gave up when I considered that cause is after all identical to sentence on pattern.

    The foregoing requirements refer to the conditions in which language is used as a communicative tool. As to the conditions in which it is not used as a tool, there are detailed discussions in Sect. 1 of Chapter 2 of my Language: the Last Homestead of Human Beings.
