| Abstract |
Stratification logic differs from conventional logic. The conventional logic aims to prove the truth/fallacy of a statement by means of epagoge (similarity) and deduction (difference). On the other hand, stratification logic presents the level of time and space as well as the profundity of connotation while seeking similarities and differences. Stratification logic is primarily based on “binary counterpoise” (contrast vs. concord), evolved by “shift and transfer”, and integrated as a spiral structure (the “multiple, binary, and unitary (zero)” structure). The logic of “binary counterpoise”, simply speaking, is a kind of “opposed unity”. Such a structure can be applicable to philosophy as well as literature. For example, one can find the philosophical foundation in Book of Changes and Lao Tze that dealt with the binary theory. One can also find the organization of writing in poetry and prose that embodies the variation of the “multiple, binary, and unitary (zero)” structure.
