Pre-U WJEC Philosophy: Quick Reference Handbook of Formulas and Theorems | 公式定理速查手册

📚 Pre-U WJEC Philosophy: Quick Reference Handbook of Formulas and Theorems | 公式定理速查手册

Philosophy, unlike mathematics or physics, does not rely on equations in the conventional sense. Yet it possesses its own rigorous structures: logical forms, standard argument patterns, conceptual distinctions, and evaluative frameworks that function like ‘formulas’ for clear thinking. This handbook gathers those essential tools, from propositional logic truth tables to the formal structures of the cosmological argument, from the definitions of knowledge to the principles of utilitarianism. It is designed as a rapid revision aid for Pre-U WJEC Philosophy candidates, offering concise English formulations paired with Chinese translations to reinforce understanding across languages.

哲学不同于数学或物理,它并不依赖传统意义上的方程式。然而,哲学自有其严谨的结构:逻辑形式、标准论证模式、概念区分以及评价框架——这些如同清晰思维的“公式”。本手册汇集了这些基本工具,从命题逻辑的真值表到宇宙论论证的形式结构,从知识的定义到功利主义的原则。本书旨在为 Pre-U WJEC 哲学考生提供快速复习辅助,通过精炼的英文表述与中文翻译的配对,强化跨语言的理解。

1. Propositional Logic Symbols and Truth Tables | 命题逻辑符号与真值表

A proposition is a declarative sentence that is either true or false. In logic, we symbolize simple propositions with letters (P, Q, R) and combine them using logical connectives. The five basic connectives are: negation ¬ (not), conjunction ∧ (and), disjunction ∨ (or), material implication → (if… then), and biconditional ↔ (if and only if).

命题是一个要么为真要么为假的陈述句。在逻辑中,我们用字母(P, Q, R)表示简单命题,并用逻辑联结词将它们组合起来。五个基本联结词是:否定 ¬(非)、合取 ∧(且)、析取 ∨(或)、实质蕴涵 →(如果……那么)、以及双条件 ↔(当且仅当)。

Truth tables define the meanings of these connectives by displaying the truth value of a compound proposition for every possible combination of truth values of its components. The following table covers the core connectives:

真值表通过展示复合命题在其组成部分的每种可能真值组合下的真值,来定义这些联结词的含义。下表涵盖了核心联结词:

P Q ¬P P ∧ Q P ∨ Q P → Q P ↔ Q
T T F T T T T
T F F F T F F
F T T F T T F
F F T F F T T

A tautology is a formula that is true in all rows of its truth table, such as P ∨ ¬P. A contradiction is false in all rows, like P ∧ ¬P. Recognizing these is essential for evaluating validity in propositional arguments.

重言式是在其真值表的所有行中都为真的公式,例如 P ∨ ¬P。矛盾式是在所有行中都为假的公式,如 P ∧ ¬P。识别它们对于评估命题论证的有效性至关重要。


2. Categorical Syllogisms and Venn Diagrams | 范畴三段论与文恩图

An Aristotelian syllogism consists of two premises and a conclusion, each in one of four categorical forms: All A are B (universal affirmative, A), No A are B (universal negative, E), Some A are B (particular affirmative, I), Some A are not B (particular negative, O). The mood of a syllogism is given by three letters, e.g., AAA, EIO. The figure depends on the position of the middle term.

亚里士多德三段论由两个前提和一个结论组成,每个命题都采用四种直言形式之一:所有 A 是 B(全称肯定,A),没有 A 是 B(全称否定,E),有些 A 是 B(特称肯定,I),有些 A 不是 B(特称否定,O)。三段论的式由三个字母给出,例如 AAA、EIO。格则取决于中项的位置。

Validity can be tested using Venn diagrams with three overlapping circles representing the three terms. Shading indicates emptiness, an ‘X’ indicates at least one member. The six rules for valid syllogisms include: the middle term must be distributed at least once; no term can be distributed in the conclusion if not distributed in a premise; no valid syllogism has two negative premises; and a negative premise requires a negative conclusion (and vice versa).

可以使用三个重叠圆圈(代表三个词项)的文恩图来检验有效性。阴影表示空集,“X”表示至少有一个成员。有效三段论的六条规则包括:中项必须至少周延一次;任何在结论中周延的项必须在前提中也周延;没有有效的三段论有两个否定前提;否定前提要求结论也是否定的(反之亦然)。


3. Key Concepts in Epistemology | 认识论关键概念

Knowledge has traditionally been defined as justified true belief (JTB). A subject S knows that p if and only if: p is true, S believes that p, and S is justified in believing that p. This tripartite definition was famously challenged by Edmund Gettier in 1963, who produced cases where someone has a justified true belief that p but intuitively does not know that p. Post-Gettier, epistemologists have attempted to add a fourth condition (e.g., no false lemmas, causal connection, reliability) or to abandon JTB altogether.

知识传统上被定义为得到辩护的真信念(JTB)。主体 S 知道 p,当且仅当:p 为真,S 相信 p,且 S 有理由相信 p。这个三元定义在 1963 年受到了爱德蒙·葛梯尔的有力挑战,他提出了某人拥有得到辩护的真信念但直觉上并不知情的案例。后葛梯尔时代,认识论者尝试添加第四个条件(如无虚假引理、因果联系、可靠性),或干脆放弃 JTB。

Foundationalism holds that some beliefs are basic (non-inferentially justified) and serve as the foundation for all other justified beliefs. Coherentism, by contrast, argues that justification arises from mutual support within a coherent system of beliefs. Externalism locates justification in factors external to the believer’s awareness, such as reliability of the belief-forming process (reliabilism). Internalism requires that the justifier be cognitively accessible to the subject.

基础主义认为有些信念是基本的(非推理辩护的),并作为所有其他得到辩护的信念的基础。与之相反,融贯论主张辩护源自信念系统内部的相互支持。外在主义将辩护定位于主体意识之外的因素,如信念形成过程的可靠性(可靠主义)。内在主义则要求辩护理由在认知上可被主体获取。


4. Arguments for the Existence of God | 上帝存在的论证

The ontological argument, in Anselm’s version, defines God as ‘that than which nothing greater can be conceived.’ If such a being exists only in the understanding, we could conceive of a greater being that also exists in reality, leading to a contradiction. Therefore, God must exist in reality. Gaunilo parodied this with a perfect island, and Kant objected that existence is not a predicate. Alvin Plantinga’s modal version uses possible worlds: if a maximally great being (perfect in every possible world) is possible, then it exists in every possible world, including the actual one.

本体论论证,在安瑟伦的版本中,将上帝定义为“无法设想比之更伟大的存在”。如果这样一个存在仅存在于理解中,我们就可以设想一个更伟大的、同时存在于现实中的存在,导致矛盾。因此,上帝必须存在于现实中。高尼罗用完美岛屿对此进行了戏仿,康德则反对存在不是谓词。阿尔文·普兰丁格的模态版本运用可能世界:如果一个最大伟大的存在(在每个可能世界中都完美)是可能的,那么它就存在于每个可能世界,包括现实世界。

The teleological (design) argument points to the apparent order and purpose in nature. William Paley’s watchmaker analogy: if you find a watch on a heath, you infer a watchmaker; similarly, the complex eye implies an intelligent designer. Hume’s criticisms, through Philo, include the problem of evil (imperfect design), the unlikeness of the universe to a machine, and the possibility of multiple designers. Swinburne’s modern version appeals to the probability of fine-tuning in cosmology.

目的论(设计)论证指向自然界显而易见的秩序和目的。威廉·佩利的钟表匠类比:如果你在荒野中发现一块手表,你会推断有一个制表匠;类似地,复杂的眼睛暗示着一位智能设计者。休谟通过 Philo 提出的批评包括恶的问题(设计不完美)、宇宙与机器的不可类比性,以及存在多个设计者的可能。斯温伯恩的现代版本则诉诸宇宙学中微调的概率。

The cosmological argument begins from the fact of the universe’s existence and seeks a first cause or necessary being. Aquinas’s ‘Second Way’ argues from efficient causation: there cannot be an infinite regress of causes, so there must be a first uncaused cause, which is God. The Kalam version insists that the universe began to exist, and everything that begins to exist has a cause, so the universe has a cause. Critics ask whether the first cause itself requires a cause, or whether an infinite regress is impossible.

宇宙论论证从宇宙存在的这一事实出发,寻求第一因或必然存在。阿奎那的“第二路”从动力因来论证:不可能有无限回溯的原因链条,因此必有一个最初的未受动因的推动者,这就是上帝。卡拉姆版本坚称宇宙有开始,凡开始存在者皆有因,所以宇宙有一个因。批评者追问第一因本身是否需要原因,或者无限回溯是否不可能。


5. Ethical Theories: Utilitarianism, Deontology, Virtue Ethics | 伦理学理论:功利主义、义务论、美德伦理学

Utilitarianism is a consequentialist theory that evaluates actions by their outcomes. The principle of utility: an action is right if it promotes the greatest happiness for the greatest number. Bentham’s hedonistic calculus measures pleasure by intensity, duration, certainty, propinquity, fecundity, purity, and extent. Mill distinguished higher and lower pleasures, arguing that ‘it is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied.’ Act utilitarianism applies the principle directly to each action; rule utilitarianism applies it to rules that generally produce the best outcomes.

功利主义是一种后果论理论,通过行为的结果来评价行为。功利原则:如果一个行为能为最大多数人带来最大幸福,它就是正确的。边沁的享乐计算法通过强度、持续时间、确定性、远近、再生性、纯度和范围来衡量快乐。密尔区分了高级快乐和低级快乐,主张“宁可做一个不满意的人,也不做一只满足的猪”。行为功利主义将该原则直接应用于每个行为;规则功利主义则将其应用于总体上能产生最佳结果的规则。

Deontology, particularly Kantian ethics, asserts that the rightness of an action is determined by its conformity to duty, not by its consequences. Kant’s categorical imperative has several formulations. The Formula of Universal Law: ‘Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law.’ The Formula of Humanity: ‘Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means.’ A maxim that passes both gives a perfect duty.

义务论,特别是康德伦理学,主张行为的正确性取决于它是否符合义务,而非其后果。康德的定言命令有几种表述。普遍法则公式:“只按照你同时能够愿意它成为一条普遍法则的那个准则去行动。”人性公式:“你要这样行动,永远都把你人格中的人性以及每个他人人格中的人性同时用作目的,而决不只是用作手段。”一个准则若能通过两者,就给出了完全的义务。

Aristotle’s virtue ethics focuses on character rather than rules or consequences. Moral virtues are states of character that lie in a mean between excess and deficiency, determined by reason. Practical wisdom (phronesis) enables the agent to discern the right mean. Eudaimonia (flourishing or happiness) is the final end; a life lived in accordance with reason fulfills the human function. Critics charge that the doctrine of the mean is vague and that virtue ethics offers little action guidance.

亚里士多德的美德伦理学关注品格而非规则或后果。道德德性是一种品格状态,它位于过度与不及之间的中道,由理性确定。实践智慧(phronesis)使行动者能够辨识恰当的中道。幸福(eudaimonia,繁盛或幸福)是最终目的;按照理性生活实现了人的功能。批评者指责中道学说含糊不清,且美德伦理学提供的行动指导甚少。


6. Political Philosophy: Social Contract and Justice | 政治哲学:社会契约与正义

Social contract theories explain the legitimacy of political authority by reference to an agreement among individuals. Hobbes, in Leviathan, imagines a state of nature where life is ‘solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.’ To escape it, rational agents covenant to surrender their natural rights to an absolute sovereign in exchange for security. Locke’s state of nature is more peaceful, governed by natural law, but property is insecure; individuals consent to form a government limited by natural rights and subject to dissolution if it violates the trust. Rousseau’s contract creates the ‘general will,’ which aims at the common good and represents true freedom as obedience to a self-given law.

社会契约论通过个体之间的协议来解释政治权威的合法性。霍布斯在《利维坦》中设想了一种自然状态,其中生命“孤独、贫困、龌龊、野蛮而短促”。为了脱离此状态,理性行动者立约放弃自然权利,交给一个绝对主权者以换取安全。洛克的自然状态更为和平,受自然法支配,但财产不安全;个体同意组建一个受自然权利限制的政府,若政府背弃信任,则可被解散。卢梭的契约创造了“公意”,它旨在共同利益,并将真正的自由表现为对自我制定的法律的服从。

Rawls’s ‘justice as fairness’ revives the social contract with the original position and the veil of ignorance. Behind the veil, parties do not know their social position, talents, or conception of the good, which ensures impartiality. They would choose two principles: (1) each person has an equal right to the most extensive basic liberties compatible with similar liberties for all; (2) social and economic inequalities must satisfy the fair equality of opportunity and the difference principle (they are to the greatest benefit of the least advantaged).

罗尔斯的“作为公平的正义”用原初状态和无知之幕复兴了社会契约论。在无知之幕背后,各方不知道自己的社会地位、才能和善观念,这确保了公正性。他们会选择两条原则:(1)每个人对与所有人享有类似自由相容的最广泛的基本自由拥有平等权利;(2)社会和经济的不平等必须满足公平的机会平等和差别原则(即它们要使最不利者获得最大利益)。


7. Metaphysics: Free Will and Determinism | 形而上学:自由意志与决定论

The problem of free will arises from the apparent tension between the scientific view that all events are causally determined and the human experience of free choice. Hard determinism claims that determinism is true and therefore free will does not exist; moral responsibility is an illusion. Compatibilism (soft determinism) holds that free will is compatible with determinism: freedom is the ability to act according to one’s desires without external coercion, even if those desires are themselves determined. Libertarianism asserts that determinism is false and that genuine free will requires indeterminacy, often invoking agent causation or a non-physical mind.

自由意志问题源于科学观点(所有事件都由因果决定)与人类自由选择的体验之间的明显张力。强硬决定论声称决定论为真,因此自由意志不存在;道德责任是幻觉。相容论(温和决定论)主张自由意志与决定论相容:自由是根据自己的欲望行动而不受外部强制的能力,即便这些欲望本身是被决定的。自由意志论则断言决定论为假,真正的自由意志需要非决定性,常常援引行动者因果作用或非物理的心灵。

A classical argument for incompatibilism is the consequence argument: if determinism is true, then our acts are the consequences of the laws of nature and events in the remote past. But we have no control over the past or the laws, so we have no control over our acts. Thus, if we do not have the power to do otherwise, we are not free. Frankfurt-style counterexamples aim to show that moral responsibility does not actually require the ability to do otherwise; an agent may be responsible even if a hidden mechanism would have forced them to do the same thing had they not chosen it freely.

一个经典的不相容论论证是后果论证:如果决定论为真,那么我们的行为就是自然律和遥远过去事件的结果。但我们对过去或自然律没有控制力,因此我们对自己的行为没有控制力。所以,如果我们没有做其他选择的能力,我们就不是自由的。法兰克福型反例旨在表明道德责任实际上并不要求能够做其他选择;即使一个隐藏机制会在主体没有自由选择的情况下迫使他们做同样的事情,主体也可以负有责任。


8. Philosophy of Mind: Dualism vs. Physicalism | 心灵哲学:二元论与物理主义

Substance dualism, defended by Descartes, holds that the mind and body are two distinct substances: the mind is non-physical and unextended, the body is physical and extended. The main argument is the conceivability argument: I can clearly and distinctly conceive of my mind existing without my body, so they must be distinct. The interaction problem asks how an immaterial mind can cause changes in a material body; Princess Elisabeth’s objections pressed Descartes on this point.

实体二元论由笛卡尔辩护,主张心灵与身体是两种不同的实体:心灵是非物理的、无广延的,身体是物理的、有广延的。主要论证是可设想性论证:我可以清晰分明地设想我的心灵独立于我的身体而存在,所以它们必定彼此不同。交互问题追问非物质的心灵如何能在物质的身体中引起变化;伊丽莎白公主的反对就此点逼问笛卡尔。

Physicalism, in its various forms, claims that everything is physical or supervenes on the physical. The mind-brain identity theory states that mental states are identical to brain states (e.g., pain = C-fiber firing). Functionalism defines mental states by their causal roles: mental states are functional states that mediate between sensory inputs, other mental states, and behavioral outputs. The multiple realizability objection against identity theory notes that the same mental state (pain) can be realized by different physical substrates across species, suggesting that mental kinds are functional, not physical, kinds.

物理主义,以其各种形式,主张一切都是物理的或随附于物理的。心脑同一论声称心理状态等同于大脑状态(例如,疼痛 = C-纤维激活)。功能主义通过因果角色来定义心理状态:心理状态是在感觉输入、其他心理状态和行为输出之间起中介作用的功能状态。反对同一论的多重可实现性指责指出,同一心理状态(疼痛)可以在不同物种中由不同的物理基质实现,这表明心理种类是功能种类,而非物理种类。


9. Aesthetics: Definitions of Art and Beauty | 美学:艺术与美的定义

The representational (mimetic) theory of art holds that art is essentially the imitation or representation of reality. Plato was critical of art as an imitation of an imitation (the physical world is itself an imitation of the Forms), twice removed from truth. Representational accuracy was the dominant criterion in Western art until the rise of Romanticism and modernism. The expression theory, championed by Croce and Collingwood, sees art as the intuitive expression of emotion; the artist’s feeling is clarified through the creation of an aesthetic image.

艺术的再现(模仿)理论认为,艺术本质上是模仿或再现现实。柏拉图批评艺术是模仿的模仿(物理世界本身是对理型的模仿),与真理相隔两层。再现的准确性曾是西方艺术的主要标准,直到浪漫主义和现代主义兴起。表现理论由克罗齐和科林伍德提倡,将艺术视为情感的直觉表现;艺术家的情感通过创造审美形象而得到澄清。

Formalism emphasizes the compositional elements of an artwork—line, color, shape, texture—over representational or expressive content. Clive Bell proposed ‘significant form’ as the quality common to all works of visual art that provokes aesthetic emotion. The institutional theory, associated with George Dickie, defines art in terms of its status within the ‘artworld’: an artifact is a work of art if it has been designated as a candidate for appreciation by someone acting on behalf of an artworld institution.

形式主义强调艺术品的构成要素——线条、色彩、形状、质地——胜过再现性或表现性内容。克莱夫·贝尔提出“有意味的形式”是所有视觉艺术作品共有并能唤起审美情感的特质。体制理论由乔治·迪基提出,根据在“艺术界”内的地位来定义艺术:一个人工制品如果由某人代表艺术界体制将其指定为供欣赏的候选品,它就是一件艺术品。


10. Famous Philosophical Paradoxes | 著名哲学悖论

Zeno’s paradoxes of motion argue against the possibility of motion. The Dichotomy: to reach a destination, one must first get halfway, then halfway of the remainder, and so on ad infinitum, requiring infinitely many steps. The Arrow paradox: at any instant, an arrow in flight occupies a space equal to itself; if everything is at rest when it occupies a space equal to itself, the arrow is at rest at each instant and never moves. Solutions typically invoke the mathematics of convergent infinite series or the concept of instantaneous velocity.

芝诺的运动悖论论证运动的不可可能性。二分法:要到达目的地,必须先走一半,然后是剩下的一半的一半,如此以至无穷,需要无限多步。飞矢悖论:在任一瞬间,飞行中的箭占据一个与自身相等的空间;如果任何事物在占据一个与自身相等的空间时都是静止的,那么箭在每一瞬间都是静止的,从不运动。解决方案通常援引收敛无穷级数的数学或瞬时速度的概念。

The liar paradox: ‘This statement is false.’ If it is true, then it is false; if it is false, then it is true. Tarski’s solution introduces a hierarchy of languages: a language cannot contain its own truth predicate without inconsistency. The sorites paradox challenges the tolerance of vague predicates: one grain of sand is not a heap; adding one grain cannot turn a non-heap into a heap; therefore, there is no heap (modus ponens repeated). This leads to discussions of fuzzy logic, supervaluationism, or epistemicism.

说谎者悖论:“这句话是假的。”如果它为真,那么它就是假的;如果它为假,那么它就是真的。塔斯基的解决方案引入了语言层级:一个语言不能在不导致不一致的情况下包含它自己的真值谓词。堆垛悖论挑战模糊谓词的容忍性:一粒沙不是一堆;增加一粒不能将非一堆变为一堆;因此,没有一堆(反复运用肯定前件式)。这导向了模糊逻辑、超赋值论或认知主义等讨论。


11. Key Philosophers and Their Contributions | 主要哲学家与贡献

Socrates (c. 470–399 BCE): employed the Socratic method (elenchus) of questioning to expose contradictions in beliefs, emphasizing that the unexamined life is not worth living.

12. Exam Tips: Structuring an Essay Argument | 考试技巧:论文论证结构

A strong philosophy essay demonstrates not only knowledge of the content but also the ability to analyse, evaluate, and construct a coherent argument. Begin with a clear thesis statement that directly answers the question. Outline the structure: ‘First, I will examine X’s argument for P, then evaluate Y’s objection, and finally conclude that…’ Each paragraph should advance one main point, using the PEEL framework: Point (state the argument), Evidence/Example (quote or explain), Explanation (unpack the reasoning), Link (back to the thesis).

一篇优秀的哲学论文不仅展示对内容的了解,还展示分析、评价和构建连贯论证的能力。以清晰、直接回答问题的论点句开篇。概述结构:“首先,我将考察 X 对 P 的论证,然后评价 Y 的反对,最后得出结论……”每个段落应推进一个主要观点,使用 PEEL 框架:观点(陈述论证)、证据/举例(引述或解释)、解释(解析推理)、联系(回扣论点)。

When evaluating arguments, always give both sides. Use the following critical moves: ‘It might be objected that…,’ ‘A defender could reply…,’ ‘However, this reply fails because…,’ ‘Ultimately, the stronger position is…’. Integrate technical vocabulary naturally: valid, sound, a priori, a posteriori, necessary, sufficient, begs the question, straw man. Avoid mere narration; balance exposition with critique. Conclude decisively, even if your conclusion is modest: ‘While neither account is fully satisfactory, X’s theory handles the key counterexamples better than Y’s, and therefore offers a more defensible position.’

评价论证时,务必呈现双方观点。使用以下批判性句式:“可以反驳说……”“辩护者可以回应……”“然而,此回应不成立,因为……”“归根结底,更有力的立场是……”。自然融入专业词汇:有效、可靠、先天的、后天的、必要、充分、乞题、稻草人。避免单纯的叙述;在说明与批判之间保持平衡。结尾要果断,即使结论是温和的:“尽管两种说明都不完全令人满意,但 X 的理论比 Y 的理论更好地处理了关键反例,因此提供了更经得起辩驳的立场。”

Time management is crucial for Pre-U papers. Allocate roughly one minute per mark plus planning time. Always leave five minutes at the end to read your essay and correct any unclear sentences or logical leaps. Remember that examiners reward precision of thought and clarity of expression above rhetorical flourish. The most convincing essays are those that engage sympathetically with opposing views while steadily building a well-reasoned case.

对于 Pre-U 考试,时间管理至关重要。大致按每分一分钟分配,另加规划时间。务必在最后留出五分钟通读文章,修正含糊不清的句子或逻辑跳跃。记住,考官奖励思想的精确性和表达的清晰性,而非华丽的辞藻。最具说服力的文章是那些以同情的态度对待对立观点,同时稳步构建一个论证充分的立场的文章。
