My Ideal
Philosopher is Confucius. Confucius is the one whose legacy has had the
greatest positive influence upon the lives of the most people.
The ethics use by Confucius is both
political and social. His theories of familial loyalty and ancestor worship are
the basis for ideal government and evolve from three concepts. Liis ethical action which arises from
natural law and not from traditional ceremony. Yi arises from social reciprocity. Ren translates as empathy and
responsibility toward others. These are condensed as the Golden Rule or
expressed in the negative, the Silver Rule “One should not impose upon another
what one would not choose for oneself”. Virtuous government will follow when
thoughts, words and actions are dedicated to Truth.
