WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN CHINA? - Political and social stability was falling apart in the late centuries of the Zhou dynasty. - Chaos was spreading through China - China was in desperate need of political advise WHAT DID CONFUCIUS BELIEVE? - He believed that political and social harmony would arise from the proper ordering of human relationships rather than the establishment of state offices. - The best way to promote good government was to fill official positions with individuals who were both well educated and had the wanting to do whats right. - More important than formal learning was having the ability to deliver wise and fair judgements. - People who disciplined themselves have the power of leading others by example. - That only by leadership through morally strong individuals, was there any hope for the political and social order to be restored in China. |
