Chapter 13.3 of the Confucian <italic>Analects</italic> (<italic> Lunyu</italic>) proposes an intriguing solution to the problem of government: <italic> zhengming</italic>, conventionally translated “rectification of names.” Confucius suggests that we should be particularly mindful of the vocabulary we use in conversing with one another, as it plays an important role in shaping our communities and values. Language is not simply a transparent medium for the conveyance of information. Rather, it furnishes a complex and subtle form of discourse that affirms and reinforces certain values while neglecting others. By examining 13.3 and related passages in the <italic>Analects</italic>, we develop a greater understanding as to how <italic>zhengming</italic> works within the context-sensitive, process-oriented and pragmatic Confucian worldview.

520 $a Chapter 13.3 of the Confucian <italic>Analects</italic> (<italic> Lunyu</italic>) proposes an intriguing solution to the problem of government: <italic> zhengming</italic>, conventionally translated “rectification of names.” Confucius suggests that we should be particularly mindful of the vocabulary we use in conversing with one another, as it plays an important role in shaping our communities and values. Language is not simply a transparent medium for the conveyance of information. Rather, it furnishes a complex and subtle form of discourse that affirms and reinforces certain values while neglecting others. By examining 13.3 and related passages in the <italic>Analects</italic>, we develop a greater understanding as to how <italic>zhengming</italic> works within the context-sensitive, process-oriented and pragmatic Confucian worldview.
520 $a In light of <italic>zhengming</italic>, the Platonic emphasis on dialectic—a form of community inquiry that is rooted in a specific context—takes on added significance. Whereas Plato is often considered to be a champion of universal philosophical truth, the process of dialectical inquiry has much in common with the more localized <italic>zhengming</italic>. Important differences are also elucidated.
520 $a Dialectic and <italic>zhengming</italic> are then contrasted with rhetoric broadly construed. In light of the <italic>Gorgias</italic>, Plato is generally believed to have been an outspoken critic of rhetoric. His <italic>Phaedrus </italic>, however, suggests a possible way to reconcile rhetoric with philosophy. Xunzi and Aristotle, the intellectual descendants of Confucius and Plato respectively, offer additional insights about the nature of rhetoric and how it might be integrated into philosophical practice.
520 $a Different forms of persuasive authority are compared for their respective merits and shortcomings. These philosophical views are then analyzed for their compatibility with pluralism. Finally, <italic>zhengming</italic> is used to challenge the expansion of economic language into a number of modern discourses, particularly academia.
