Confucianism serves as a foundational moral philosophy that prioritizes social harmony, duty, and order.

“Confucianism is more of a moral philosophy uh than let's say religion or a belief system. It prioritizes um social harmony above anything else.”

Confucianism advocates for hierarchical social order and is essentially a conservative, backward-looking philosophy rather than a progressive one.

“Confucianism was a kind of conservative or even backwardlooking thing. It wasn't trying to it wasn't arguing for progress. It was arguing for reclaiming a pure golden age in the past.”
