Research on Xunzi's"Ming"from the Perspective of Materialist Dialectics
"'Universal'converts into'special'from itself,'one'converts into"many"from itself'embodies Xunzi's"Ming"theory(theory of"Ming"),and the speculative structure of"Zhong Shi Ruo Huan"(end and beginning as a ring)is the methodological basis of Xunzi's"Ming"theory.Xunzi's"Ming"theory are applied in two fields of nature and society.In the realm of nature,"Ming"describes the relationship between all things in nature(the description is permeated with judgment)."Gong Ming"(universal name)is the"beginning",and"Bie Ming"(special name)is the"end"."Gong Ming"refers to the unity,and"Bie Ming"refers to the difference.Differentiated"Bie Mings"are unified in the"Gong Ming",and the"Gong Ming"permeates"Bie Mings"."Dan Ming"(single name)and"Jian Ming"(integrated name)reveal the expansion pattern and infinite process of cognition.In the realm of society,"Ming"is embodied as the"construction"of ethical order,which is demonstrated in Xunzi's thought of"Zhi Shen Er Gu"(spirit penetrates into reality)."Zhi Shen Er Gu"opens up the state where"spirit"and"reality"operate in the same structure,in other words,the operation of spirit is carried out in the construction of ethical order.
