confucius Posted June 10, 2004 at 07:42 AM Report Posted June 10, 2004 at 07:42 AM Confucian morality centers on the basic principle of forbearance. It's that classic "Do unto others..." sound bite that Jesus Christ copied 500 years later. Stick that in your essay somewhere. You're welcome! Quote
Guest Yau Posted June 10, 2004 at 03:54 PM Report Posted June 10, 2004 at 03:54 PM one big difference: While a christian assumes there's a higher god , the Confucian moral system is based on the sophisticated hierarchy of human beings. The role of everybody is well defined or well assumed. The variations in the moral assumptions make the whole different cultures between west and east. Quote
