 This is roughly the approach that  Xunzi  adopts in handling a related issue. He contends that a general term, such as ‘honor’ or ‘disgrace’, can have two or more distinct uses, grounded in different bases or “starting points” (duān 端). The different uses can be specified by compounding (jiān 兼) names in a way that narrows their extension. He argues, for instance, that there are two kinds of honor and disgrace, “moral honor and disgrace” and “status honor and disgrace.” A person could be honored with high status while in fact being morally disgraceful or held in disgrace while in fact being morally  honorable.[36]  The Mohists could similarly distinguish two kinds of killing people, “moral killing” and “immoral killing.”
