The Possibility of Beauty in Logic

With the development of modern logic and aesthetics, whether logic contains beauty has become an important topic. Some scholars affirm this and supplement it with two main viewpoints: the formal beauty argument of the logical process and the content beauty argument of the logical result. The author takes these two viewpoints as the object of criticism, based on the clarification of the essence of beauty and the essence of logic, and then discusses the possibility of the beauty of the logical process. The study adopts the method of thinking argumentation, and finally shows that the formal beauty argument of the logical process is wrong in that the formal beauty is not the essential beauty of logic, and the content beauty argument of the logical result is wrong in that the content is not the beauty but only the goodness; the real beauty lies in that the natural consciousness of the mind actively interacts with logic, giving logic the differential variables of form and content, to experience the beauty of immediacy.

Abstract

With the development of modern logic and aesthetics, whether logic contains beauty has become an important topic. Some scholars affirm this and supplement it with two main viewpoints: the formal beauty argument of the logical process and the content beauty argument of the logical result. The author takes these two viewpoints as the object of criticism, based on the clarification of the essence of beauty and the essence of logic, and then discusses the possibility of the beauty of the logical process. The study adopts the method of thinking argumentation, and finally shows that the formal beauty argument of the logical process is wrong in that the formal beauty is not the essential beauty of logic, and the content beauty argument of the logical result is wrong in that the content is not the beauty but only the goodness; the real beauty lies in that the natural consciousness of the mind actively interacts with logic, giving logic the differential variables of form and content, to experience the beauty of immediacy.
