The School of Names, sometimes called the School of Forms and Names,[1] was a school of Chinese philosophy that grew out of Mohism during the Warring States period (c. 479 – 221 BC). Followers of the School of Names were sometimes called Logicians or Disputers. Figures associated with it include Deng Xi, Yin Wen, Hui Shi, and Gongsun Long.[2] A contemporary of Confucius and the younger Mozi, Deng Xi, associated with litigation, is cited by Liu Xiang as the originator of the principle of xíngmíng, or ensuring that ministers' deeds (xing) harmonized with their words (ming).[3]
