摘要
《管子》一书虽然晚起,议论或多为后人所发,其中所含的思想却至为古奥,有可能源自管仲本人。从管子到老子、孔子,语言思想的继承和发展有一定的连续性。在名称的起源问题上,管子持自然论的观点,提出“物固有形,形固有名”、“凡物载名而来”,而老子视“道”为“有名”、“无名”二相,认为“自古及今,其名不去”,与管子的说法相似。在名称的社会功用问题上,管子主张“督言正名”、“修名督实”,其思想对孔子不无影响。
The name “Guanzi” refers either to Guan Zhong （？ -645 B. C.） or to the Book of Guanzi, which is believed to be a miscellaneous work compiled by Guan Zhong＇s disciples during the Warring States Period （475-221 B. C.）. However, the philosophical reflections as well as linguistic ideas revealed in the book may partly be traced back to Guan Zhong himself, and from Guang Zhong to Laozi and Confucius a continuation of thinking on the same issues such as “name” and “rectifying names” can easily be seen. Contemplating the origin of names and the relationship between a name and the thing it represents, Guan Zhong held that “Each thing must have a body, and each body a name from the very beginning” - a naturalistic view which might have exerted considerable influence upon subsequent thinkers, Laozi and Confucius among others.
