Confucian Philosophy Discussion Thread
:: by Garsai ::
Welcome one and all to the Confucian Philosophy Discussion Thread, where we discuss everything being pertinent to Confucian philosophy and ethic.
The ethical system of Confucianism has much to commend it because virtue is always something highly desirable, both in an individual and a society. This includes emphasis on family values, such as devotion and obedience to and reverence of the elders of the family by the younger members of kin. Confucianism deals primarily with moral conduct and ethical living and is often categorized as an ethical system, rather than a religion. It has had a monumental impact upon the life, social structure, and political philosophy of China.
