Some Confucian Insights and Moral Education.

Wei, Tan Tai

Journal of Moral Education, v19 n1 p33-37 Jan 1990

Examines how the principles and virtues of Confucianism holistically meet moral education's requirements. Discusses justice, equality, and truthfulness as Confucian principles and the character virtues (wisdom, courage, compassion, and love) necessary for living the moral life. Stresses understanding motive, arguing that the moral person desires to act morally as an end in itself. (CH)
