Chinese culture and tradition stand in direct opposition to American and European cultures. Chinese children must live according to the principles of metaconfucianism from an early age. Failure to do so threatens social ostracism. Amy Chua in her autobiographical novel Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother describes the education of her two daughters living in America according to the principles present in China. The educational methods used by Chua are considered controversial by western parents. The author made an attempt to explain the motives of Asian mothers.

Confucianism has been a leading Chinese philosophical and ethical tradition for a long time. Not just Confucius himself but also Mencius and Xunzi contributed to its development over the centuries. In this paper the principal ethical notions of Confucianism–junzi, dao, ren and li – are characterized in their rich essence and unique context. Though ostensibly having much in common, those concepts can be paralleled to the Western ones only with difficulty and to a limited extent.

Konfucjanizm to starożytny system filozoficzny i etyczny, który od wieków jest źródłem wartości, przekonań i norm postępowania w społeczeństwie chińskim (jak i w niektórych innych narodach azjatyckich). Obok Konfucjusza ukształtowali go także Mencjusz i Xunzi. Niniejsze opracowanie prezentuje najważniejsze pojęcia etyki konfucjańskiej, czyli junzi, dao, ren oraz li. Mimo terminologicznego podobieństwa pojęcia te tylko w bardzo ograniczonym stopniu można porównywać do analogicznych zagadnień etyki zachodniej.

The paper contains translation of Confucian classical text Xiao Jing into Polish with analysis of early meaning of xiao, usually translated into English as a “filial piety.” Loving and caring for one parents while they are alive and offer sacrifices after their death is the core meaning of xiao. A person who learnt to obey and care for parents is able to extend that feeling to others outside the family. That makes xiao the root of ren — an exemplary behaviour towards all people. Hence learning how to behave in xiao way is first stage of Confucian self-developement. Traditionally ascribed to Confucius’ student Zengzi, Xiao Jing provides short but important insight into one of Confucian core ethical concepts.

Artykuł zawiera tłumaczenie na język polski klasycznego tekstu konfucjańskiego pt. Xiao Jing oraz analizę wczesnego znaczenia pojęcia xiao, zwykle tłumaczonego na angielski jako „filial piety”, czyli „synowska nabożność” lub „posłuszeństwo synowskie”. Osoba, która nauczyła się słuchać i opiekować się rodzicami, jest w stanie rozszerzyć to uczucie na innych poza rodziną. To sprawia, że xiao jest korzeniem ren, oznaczajacego przykładne zachowania wobec wszystkich ludzi. Dlatego uczenie się, jak zachowywać się zgodnie z xiao, jest pierwszym etapem konfucjańskiego samodoskonalenia. Xiao Jing, tradycyjnie przypisywane uczniowi Konfucjusza — Zengzi, zapewnia krótki, ale ważny wgląd w jedną z podstawowych konfucjańskich koncepcji etycznych.

This paper is the second phase of a project that was begun more than three years ago. The first phase culminated in the publication of a paper working toward a critical appropriation of Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics.1 Therein Aristotle famously argues that human wellbeing (eudaimonia) is constituted by “activity of the soul in accordance with moral and intellectual virtue.”2 This earlier paper brought into focus all the main lines of Aristotle’s theoretical web in the N. Ethics: including the nature of the soul, intellectual virtue, moral virtue, etc. That paper went on to give a developed critique of Aristotle’s theoretical web, and against that background it argued for a very different way of thinking about intellectual virtue, and it prepared the ground for different ways of thinking about moral virtue. This current paper explores the various conceptual understandings of “the mean” in Aristotelian and in Confucian thought. It begins with an explanatory sketch of “the mean” as understood in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics, and then in a second section goes on to explore “the mean” as presented in classical Confucianism. The third section of this paper offers some reflections oriented toward a tentative formulation of a modified conception of “the mean” as it might be construed from a humanistic Marxist perspective.

This essay explores significant affinities with respect to the humanism of the Marxian and Confucian Ways. Although orthodox Marxism suppresses the humanistic dimensions of Marx’s thought, they are foremost in his earlier writing, and were never abandoned in his later thought. All varieties of Confucianism recognize its humanism. The essay argues that both perspectives involve process modes of understanding; that both have a convergent understanding of abstract general terms; that both view the human being as a community being; that both advocate similar ideal modes of becoming; and that both are concerned with the problems of human alienation.
