- Title
Xunzi as a Semantic Inferentialist: Zhengmin, Bian-Shuo and Dao-Li.
- Authors
Lin, Chung-I
- Abstract
This essay argues that the idea of name-rectification ( zheng ming 正名) in the Xunzi can be properly reconstructed as revealing a normative pragmatic semantic theme that linguistic contents embody, and are embedded in, the normative, justificatory network, or pattern, of dao li 道理 (proper routes/patterns of norm) which, in turn, is constituted and manifested by social inferential justificatory practices of bian shuo 辯說 (dialectical justification/explanation).
