Gongsun Long

Gongsun Long was born in the state of Zhao, in present-day Hebei province, China. He is one of the most popular ambassadors of dialecticians. The dialecticians were actually a school of Philosophy of both the third and fourth centuries BC in China. Their devotees are really interested in making a proper judgment about the true or original meaning of words. He was a logician who spent his time writing several contradictory articles or articles. Take a look at the essays/articles, each containing approximately three hundred personalities but with their roots in them and they offer many meaningful life lessons. Given the fact that a very good number of his works have been lost or cannot be found, it limits our understanding of his achievements. Directly speaking, only six of his fourteen poems have been found. That's a little less than half. He is best known for his paradoxical speeches and essays, a popular article where he explains why "white horses are not horses".

Gongsun Long is a logician who has written many paradoxical essays. These essays are only about 300 characters each, but have deep meanings and bring many useful lessons. Despite being the most famous person in ancient China, little is known about his accomplishments as many of his documents have been lost, and only six of the fourteen poems have been found. One of his famous poems brought up the idea that a white horse was different from his clan and therefore not an ordinary horse. His poems offered no conclusion to the paradoxes he presented and were well received by many, but others were disappointed by them. Gongsun Long is hailed as the most sophisticated philosopher ever.
