        The present study provides an overview of the narrative of cognition as described in a largely understudied Classical Chinese philosophical text, the Gōngsūn Lóngzî, drawing meaningful comparisons with other works traditionally associated with the Logicians’ (míngjiā) trend of thought. The Gōngsūn Lóngz especially provides a substantial contribution to our understanding of knowledge construction processes in early China. According to the text, the mind has the ability to operate distinctions. It breaks reality down into meaningful, manageable units, and classifies these units according to appropriate categories. As will be shown, such ability is not only necessary for the individual to cognize the world, but also sufficient to ensure univocal correspondence between names and actualities.
        Šiame straipsnyje apžvelgiamas pažinimo naratyvas, pateikiamas nepelnytai mažo dėmesio sulaukusiame klasikiniame kinų filosofijos tekste Gōngsūn Lóngzǐ. Jis lyginamas su kitais tekstas, priskiriamais vadinamajai logikų (míngjiā) minties krypčiai. Gōngsūn Lóngzǐ itin svarbus pažinimo konstravimo procesams senovės Kinijoje suprasti. Pagal šį tekstą, protas turi gebėjimą veikti distinkcijomis. Jis suskaido tikrovę į prasmingus, suvaldomus vienetus ir juos klasifikuoja pagal atitinkamas kategorijas. Straipsnyje parodoma, kad toks gebėjimas yra ne tik būtinas individo pasaulio pažinimui, bet ir pakankamas, kad užtikrintų vienareikšmį vardų ir tikrovės atitikimą.
