During roughly the same historical period in China, philosophers were debating similar philosophical issues. In what ways does our use of language impact the way we (ought to) live together? The ideas of Confucius ultimately rose to prominence, particularly after being developed and elaborated by Xunzi nearly 300 years later. Does the manner in which the Chinese approached the question resonate with the Greeks? This book begins the investigation from a Confucian perspective, and subsequently reflect heuristically on Plato and Aristotle from that vantage point. Re-introducing an element of ambiguity by finding a culturally external vantage point significantly invigorates our understanding of each philosopher. The purpose is to achieve both a superior understanding of the Confucian perspective on the relationship between language, Rhetorics and the world, and a new dynamic understanding of how the Greeks dealt with the same issue. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Rhetoric, Ancient. 650 0 Rhetoric|zGreece. 650 0 Rhetoric|zChina. 650 0 Electronic books. 730 0 hoopla (Digital media service) 914 MWT13922061
