Resumo

Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC) - was a well-known and influential philosopher, teacher, and statesman during China's Spring-Autumn and Warring States periods. Specifically, he was a thinker who imparted to humanity numerous insightful concepts, one of which is the "rectification of names" (正名 - zhèng míng) doctrine. This deep, comprehensive, and methodical philosophy seeks to bring society back from a state of chaos to order through the application of the principles of benign governance and rule by virtue. Today, if we can see past its flaws and embrace its values, Confucius' thought on the rectification of names still proves its significance and serves as a useful lesson in advancing national development.
