Sažetak
In my talk, I will focus on the conceptual pair ming名/shi 實in the »Statecraft chapters« of the Chunqiu fanlu. These chapters establish a kind of naturalistic approach to rulership that seeks normativity in the realm of nature. It is built around an ultimate goal: maintaining the ruler’s political power and authority. In these chapters the pair ming/shi (»the notion of accountability«) is advocated as the main technique of administering bureaucracy. In my talk, I will explore the interrelatedness between power, language, reality and the socio-political order. Hypothesis: The conception of correct naming is shaped by the paradigm of the cosmos and its processes, such as the process of constant change and the process of gradual accumulation which is the basis of any creation.
