A short biography of Prof. Su Tianfu:

Professor Su Tianfu (1922-2017), originating from Panyu, Guangdong, was admitted as a graduate student to the Philosophy Department of Tsinghua University in 1949, where he studied logic under the mentorship of Prof. Jin Yuelin (1895-1984). Upon graduating in 1952, he joined Northeast Normal University. In 1956, he transitioned to Southwest Normal University (now Southwest University), significantly contributing to the establishment and advancement of the philosophy department there. By 1981, he began supervising postgraduate students, enrolling 24 in that year, and in 1987, he was promoted to the rank of professor.

Throughout his tenure, Prof. Su held numerous significant roles, including Director of the Teaching and Research Section, Department Head, Director of the Research Center, School Councilor, and Director of the School's Liberal Arts Academic Committee. His contributions extended beyond his home institution as he served as an academic advisory member of the Chinese Society of Logic, President of the Logic Society of Sichuan, Director of the Sichuan Provincial Federation of Social Sciences, and as an academic member of the Jin Yuelin Academic Foundation, among other roles.

Prof. Su dedicated his career to the legacy of his mentor, Prof. Jin Yuelin, and the fields of logic and philosophy at Southwest University. He gained renown for his efforts in popularizing logic and pedagogy; since 1984, his logic courses have been broadcasted by the Open University of China, reaching over 800,000 students annually. In recognition of his academic contributions and teaching excellence, the State Council of China awarded him special government allowances beginning in 1992.

Prof. Su’s impact on the development of logic and philosophy in China was profound, evidenced by his influential perspectives on various philosophical and logical issues, and his role in nurturing a new generation of scholars. Notably, his students, including Prof. Zou Chongli, the former president of the Chinese Society of Logic, have made significant contributions to the contemporary logic community.
