孔子正名思想探源

孔子的“正名”说并非无源之水，而是发端于前孔子时代人们对于“名”的深入思考。“名”这个观念受到重视与礼乐文化密切相关，由此，“名”的问题展现为两条进路：一、与名分义相关的政治进路；二、与名声义相关的道德进路，孔子继承并发展了这两个方面。澄清了这个过程，就会看到，孔子正名思想不能简单地看做中国古代逻辑学的起源，而应当看作儒家内圣外王之义理规模的发生地。

The other is the moral path connected to reputation. It is Confucius who inherited and developed these two paths.
