The article takes the excavated cosmological texts as a basis for reinterpreting the relationship between cosmology, epistemology, and action in Warring States period thought, by focusing on the role of names in situatedness and self-actualization of being. It proposes to view the speculative and the practical concerns in terms of a dynamic union of the receptive and the creative within the onto-generative cycle.

Building on Chung-ying Cheng's onto-generative approach and Heidegger's hermeneutics of Dasein in Sein und Zeit, the article identifies names as the centre (Gadamer's Mitte) in which the receptive and the creative aspect of being come together.
