The philosophy of chicken and egg

There is no necessary direct and single correspondence between eggs and chickens, which belongs to sophistry. Sophistication, a way of thinking that denies objective truth through specious reasoning and judgment, is one of the manifestations of subjectivism, metaphysics and relativism. The main features of sophistry are: (1) subjective idealism in terms of its world outlook and theoretical basis; As far as its methodology is concerned, it is one-sided and relativistic. (2) The common performance is to exaggerate one aspect of things, or to make so-called arguments based on the superficial similarity of one aspect of things, and attack one point, not as good as the rest; Arguing irrationally and taking it out of context; Stealing concepts, changing propositions and making up arguments; Mechanical comparison, regardless of right or wrong, and so on. (3) It is a distortion of the law of unity of opposites and the viewpoint of universal connection in dialectics. Dialectics holds that everything contains contradictions and is the unity of * * * and personality; Everything is interrelated. But sophistry is to separate and distort the relationship between sex and personality and things. For example, China's ancient "white horse is not a horse" theory, which only sees the difference between white horse and horse, but denies the connection between them; The question of which comes first, the chicken or the egg, exaggerates the general connection, but denies the difference between them. Worldliness is anti-dialectics.
