Question

Which idea is part of the philosophical tradition of Confucianism?

Answer 1

Answer:

Confucianism is a comprehensive system of morality, social, political and religious ideas that are of significant importance for the development of Chinese civilization until the 21st century, created by Confucius around 500 BC.  Confucianism states that reason, responsibility, a positive attitude towards the world, but also the subordination of order are the path to succeed. It creates a model of society based on the model of the patriarchal family. It also proclaims that building an ideal society and achieving peace in the world is possible provided that the obligations arising from the social hierarchy are observed and that tradition, purity and order are observed.

Exactly determining whether Confucianism is a religion or a philosophy is difficult. According to European criteria, it is a mixture of religious, social, economic, ethical and moral concepts.
