Answer:

Because it was the loss of the ancient world's single greatest archive of knowledge.

Explanation:

Alexandria was founded in Egypt by Alexander the Great. His successor as Pharaoh, Ptolemy I Soter, founded the Museum (also called Museum of Alexandria, Greek Mouseion, “Seat of the Muses”) or Royal Library of Alexandria in 283 BC. The Museum was a shrine of the Muses modeled after the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens. The Museum was a place of study which included lecture areas, gardens, a zoo, and shrines for each of the nine muses as well as the Library itself. It has been estimated that at one time the Library of Alexandria held over half a million documents from Assyria, Greece, Persia, Egypt, India and many other nations. Over 100 scholars lived at the Museum full time to perform research, write, lecture or translate and copy documents. The library was so large it actually had another branch or "daughter" library at the Temple of Serapis.

Answer:

Confucian doctrine or Confusionism

Explanation:

Confusionism considers that society institutions are family, school, and state; therefore its priests are not separate liturgical specialists, but parents, teachers, and officials.

Confusionism not only focuses in institutions but also has another important concept: humaneness (ren). Ren is translated as love or kindness and it's considered the source of all virtues.

Mixing these two ideas we can see the general idea that Confusionism has of a family: It has a high ideal for family interaction where members are supposed  to treat each other with love, respect, and consideration for the needs of all. At the same time, and since family is one of the most important society institutions it must have an strict and firm control on their members.

Therefore, we can see that the answer to the question is Confucian doctrine or Confusianism since it blends parental love within the family with strict and firm control.
