- Propound: Put forward (an idea or theory) for the consideration of others.
- While propounding "the Confucian spirit," Mr. Chung also had faith in his ability to overcome all odds as he charged into new fields. (Don Kirk).
- Teleological: Relating to or involving the explanation of phenomenon in terms of the purpose they serve rather than of the cause by which they arise.
