In the last paper, the problems that Confucius' assumed was the social disorder which was rooted in the incorrect usage of names. Last week, the discussion was about Confucius' solutions to the problem.
Based on the discussion, I can say that Confucius' Philosophy was living in accordance to the moral law. The exercising of this moral law must be done with the help of the society because the moral laws are ways in which creates peace and harmony within the society. Expression of these moral laws are first, being focused on the Way in which man is intended to go. Second, since the ways of man is not through isolation, then man must be journeying the Way with others. Third, since man is with other people, then man must be vigilant to causes in which will lead him or the others away from the Way. Fourth, when man is with others, he should know that he is equal to the other men. He should give equal opportunities to the other man because they are basically of the same essence. Since man is dependent to society, in a sense, and society is dependent on him, therefore man should know how to respect and value the other which is the last expression of the moral law. He should learn to enrich himself in way that he is not violating anything from the other which is one of the moral principles of Confucius.
Confucius Philosophy is basically creating harmony with the society through living the moral principles. The moral law serves as a guide in which man is taught to live in a way that he would be of great help in building and preserving the society as one team towards journeying the Way in which they should all be going.
