Unrestricted Name
普遍事物的通名。“达名”是墨家所使用的一种名称类别。墨家注重对名的辨别，强调以恰当的名来指称事物，以实现名实相合。墨家将所用之名分为三类，即“达名”“类名”“私名”。“达名”是最普遍的名，如“物”之名。“物”即用以指称所有事物。
“Unrestricted name” is a term of classification used by the Mohist School. It is a general name for ordinary things. The Mohists stressed the importance of properly naming things in different ways to reflect their real nature. They had three ways of naming things: unrestricted, classified, and private. “Unrestricted name” is most general, such as the name “thing.” “Thing” is used to refer to all objects.
