Meer over het boek

Transforming individuals into exemplars of virtue is central to Confucian philosophy, emphasizing self-improvement and love for oneself, others, and the environment. Unlike a religion, Confucianism serves as a system of ethics and social organization, highlighting the importance of filial piety and social responsibilities. It posits that humans are capable of growth and perfection through personal and communal efforts, particularly in self-cultivation. This indigenous philosophy plays a significant role in Chinese culture and daily life, shaping interpersonal relations and community dynamics.
