I will also mention an example committing fallacy as a case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second part, I will discuss the old question of naming in Confucian tradition together with the problem of the rectification of names. I will treat this theme as the view&nbsp;of&nbsp;social ontology. Some points of John Searle\u2019s theory will also be revised in this paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the last part, I will argue against the popular view held by Chad Hansen, Roger Ames and others that there are no concept of a sentence and sentential beliefs in ancient China. I will provide some functional equivalents of the that-clause structure in classical Chinese which also appear in old English and classical Latin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Naming and Propositional Attitudes in Ancient Ch [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3903"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3903"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3903\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4001,"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3903\/revisions\/4001"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tsinghualogic.net\/JRC\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
