Ideas about
Education
Confucius' view of education is based on the conviction that
"man is born with uprightness.“ Even immoral persons have
an upright essence. So, Confucius said, "By nature men are
alike.“
He honored and respected all human beings, and for him all men
were able to learn about the good and to do good. Therefore, "In
education there should be no class distinction.”
True education, according to Confucianism, is self-education.
"Self-illuminative sincerity is called nature.”
