Abstract

Compared with Western Philosophy

Chinese Philosophy seldom talks about "the other world". This difference can be further proved in language categories.What exists in language text is different from what exists in language structure or language categories. Language categories reflect the styles of deep thinking.The lacking of subjunctive in Chinese language reflects the indifference between facts and ultra-facts in Chinese minds. There is a pan-fact attention in Chinese culture

while an ultra-fact attention in Western culture. This difference also embodies in the activities of religion

logic

mathematics and science.
