An Application of Aristotle's Theory about Human Intellect to the Education of Writing Specialized for the Engineer

（1）关于逻辑写作的教育理论，以亚里士多德关于人类知识的理论为基础，通过亚里士多德所定义的四个原因的概念来分析人类所创造的一切事物，就可以把它们逻辑地表现出来。亚里士多德认为，陈述目的和观念是定义性的陈述。另一种说法是系统性的说法，它指出元素，并将元素从开始到结束连接为一个序列。写学术论文需要掌握这两种方法，我用树形图来教定义。要定义的对象放在图的末尾。然后，我让学生写的问题和解决方案的想法，在每一个点的分离出现在图中。在系统写作教学中，我让学生做一个表格，表格的纵轴表示对象中每个元素的名称，横轴表示元素在过程中的作用。我的课文包含了定义和系统的一般方法，并给出了一个例子。 ...更多信息 写作技巧、主观写作与客观写作的区别以及信息分类的方法。（2）关于美国英语教育中对亚里士多德智力理论评价的研究我研究了俄亥俄州教育委员会、俄亥俄州大学英语教师，并收集了有关修辞和写作的论文。通过这些研究，我意识到英语教育有两种流派。一个是大学教师的理论写作，另一个是接受社会需求的实践写作，不仅是大学教师，也是来自社会各界的人们。（3）关于四个原因理论科贝特在他的名著《修辞学》中指出，修辞学是以亚里士多德的四个原因理论为基础的。但理论上对它的研究还不够深入。（4）亚里士多德的现代写作理论的意义NAEP和比萨对阅读能力的界定，借鉴了传统的修辞学，因此在不知不觉中受到了亚里士多德的影响。少

(1)About the educational theory for logical writing, based on Aristotle's theory about human knowledge.Man can represent logically all things that are created by human beings when he analyzes them through the concept of four reasons which Aristotle defines. By Aristotle, to sate aim and idea are the defining statement. Another statement is the systematic statement which points out elements and connects elements from beginning to the end as one sequence. Man need to master these two methods to write academic papers.To teach definition, I use tree diagram. An object to be defined is put at the end of the diagram. Then I let students to write the problems and ideas of solution, at every points where the separations arise in the diagram. To teach systematic writing I let students to make a table, whose vertical axis shows names of every element's of the object and whose horizontal axis shows the function of an element in a process.My text contains the general method of definition and syste … More matic writing, the exercises to aware the differences between the subjective writing and the objective, and the method of categorizing the information.(2)About research in the evaluation of Aristotle's theory of intellect in American English educationI researched the State's Educational Board of Ohio, English teachers in Ohio University, and collected papers about rhetoric and writing. From these researches I came to realize that there are two streams of English education. One stream is the theoretical by the teachers in University, and another is the practical which will accept social needs and modify their writing education not only by teachers in university but also by people from many societies.(3)About four reasons theoryE.Corbett wrote in his famous book that the rhetoric is based on the Aristotle's four reasons theory. But the theoretical study about it is done not sufficiently.(4)The meaning of Aristotle's theory in modern writingNAEP and PISA defines the reading ability, referring the traditional rhetoric, so it is influenced by Aristotle, unconsciously.
