| Description: | This book focuses on Chinese understanding and treatment of language and reality and sets for itself three tasks: (1) exploring how Chinese thinkers living in pre-Qin times (551–221 BCE2 ) analyze the two concepts: ming3 名 (language) and shi 實 (reality) as well as their relationship in various settings; (2) investigating relevant issues in ontology, epistemology, ethics, axiology, and logic as addressed and developed in an ancient Chinese discourse on language and reality; (3) discussing how this discourse shapes a central characteristic of Chinese culture, which I call “practical zhi” 實踐知智4 (practical knowledge, intelligence, and wisdom) and distinguishes Chinese culture from Western culture in ancient times. |
