Question

Does Confucianism conflict with other Chinese philosophical systems such as Daoism?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

I've found this info " Confucianism is one of those religions that people often say is more a “way of life” than what people traditionally tend to think of as well…religion. Why you ask? Well, for a couple reasons, the first and most obvious one probably being that it doesn’t really concern itself that much with the concept of God. While many religions are a sort of bridge between God and man, Confucianism, an ancient Chinese philosophy, is more about finding peace and harmony here on earth amongst your fellow man" which makes me think ...NO it doesn't. but if you say YES.. then elaborate please

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

I have to do a 4-5 page report on this that is due by DEC.8th.( College history class) so I am looking for some help

Answer 6

don't copy this for you report but the reason why I say yes because Confucianism is the philosophical system founded on the teaching of the Chinese sage Confucius (551-479 B.C.). It has been very important in China and has also influenced Japan and Korea. Confucianism combines a political theory and a theory of human nature, resulting in a prescriptive doctrine or way (dao). The political theory is based on the idea that the legitimate ruler derives authority from heaven's command, or the mandate of heaven, and is responsible for the peoples' well-being and for peace and order in the empire. In terms of human nature, humans are essentially social animals whose ways of interaction are shaped by convention or ritual (li), which prescribe proper behavior for a given situation. Sages are those who have mastered li, and from whom the mass of people learn. Leaders should, ideally, be sages, and should appoint only those who are models of virtue (de) to prominent positions. People will emulate virtuous models, so virtuous leadership results in a natural moral education. The highest level of moral development is ren, the natural inclination toward harmony with the dao. Although Confucius never wrote down his philosophy, his disciples compiled his sayings after his death and preserved them in the basic text of Confucianism, the Analects
