The logic of negation

Why is that negation is used as the principal tool in Buddhism & related train of thoughts ?

I think it is because what we percieve something as positive if that is in sync with the strcture of our thoughts. This structure is inherently based on substance view, view about an individual existence.

As the purpose of the above said ideologies is to point to the fallacies in the substance view, all such arguements look negative. However, if seen from a non substance perspective, they are not.
