	Confucius - MSN Encarta
		Confucius thought that there was great joy to be found in everyday family life, participating in communal activities, enjoying music, and spending time with one’s friends.
		Confucius was a demanding teacher who expected his students to think carefully about what he taught them and to apply it in their own lives.
		Confucius described himself as a “transmitter and not an innovator,” because he believed that all his teachings were nothing more than the way of the ancient sages.

		Confucius was born in a poor family in the year 551 B.C., and he was born in the state of Lu.

		As there was a record of his meeting with Confucius and their discussion of the rites, we know he was a contemporary of, and perhaps older than Confucius.

		Humanity, seemed to Confucius, means to love other people, to help others establish themselves whenever they want to stand up, to help others to understand things when one desires to know, and not to impose anything on others when one does not want to do to himself.

	The Analects - Becca Bigsby (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Confucius did not define ren in The Analects because he practiced the lifestyle of ren, therefore his disciples could simply observe his lifestyle to understand what it was to be ren.
		Disciples wrote what ren was, and what Confucius aspired to be, so that the pupils had a sense of what they were trying to achieve and a textual definition to be able to identify when they reached a state of ren.
		Therefore, Confucius did not define ren because he was a representation of ren his disciples could observe, and his later disciple felt they needed to write a definition of ren so the memories of what a ren being encompasses would not be lost.

	Confucius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		What Confucius claimed to transmit was the Dao (Way) of the sages of Zhou antiquity; in the Analects, he is the erudite guardian of tradition who challenges his disciples to emulate the sages of the past and restore the moral integrity of the state.
		Confucius’ record of silence on the subject of the divine is attested by the Analects (5.3, 7.21, 11.12).
		Later interpreters of Confucius' thought between the Tang and Ming dynasties are often grouped together under the label of "Neo-Confucianism." This term has no cognate in classical Chinese, but is useful insofar as it unites several thinkers from disparate eras who share common themes and concerns.

		Confucius, (551 - 479 BC), was the Chinese sage who founded Confucianism.
		Although Confucius himself was a religious man in that he followed the religious practices of his time, he did not dwell on those issues in his instruction.
		Confucius indicated his deficiency this way: "The truth about Yu is that he has got as far as the guest-hall, but has not yet entered the inner rooms."14 In other words, he understood the formal doctrines but not the inner teachings.

		Confucius (Chinese Kong Fuzi, literally "Master Kong", traditionally September 28, 551 BCE–479 BCE) was a famous thinker and social philosopher of China, whose teachings have deeply influenced East Asia.
		According to tradition, Confucius was born in 551 BCE (during the Spring and Autumn Period, at the beginning of the Hundred Schools of Thought philosophical movement) in the city of Qufu in the Chinese State of Lu (now part of present-day Shandong Province and culturally and geographically close to the royal mansion of Zhou).
		Therefore, Confucius is often considered a great proponent of conservatism, but a closer look at what he proposes often shows that he used (and maybe twisted) past institutions and rites to push a new political agenda of his own: for example, he wanted rulers to be chosen on their merits, not their parentage.

		Confucius is described, by Sima Qian and other sources, as having endured a poverty-stricken and humiliating youth and been forced, upon reaching manhood, to undertake such petty jobs as accounting and caring for livestock.

		Confucius believed that this sort of rectification had to begin at the very top of the government, because it was at the top that the discrepancy between names and actualities had originated.

	Historical Evidence for Confucius
		The historical evidence for the life of Confucius will be briefly discussed in order to provide the reader with another example of documentation for a religious figure in the ancient world in addition to Jesus.
		Confucius himself, though, was not moved to do a great deal of writing; most of what we believe to be his words are really nothing more than a collection of aphorisms written down and preserved by his disciples in the Lun Yu, which we know in English as the Analects of Confucius.
		A number of passages have nothing to do with either Confucius or with his disciples, and seem to be irrelevant intrusions into the text; these are 16.14,18.2,18.9-11, and 20.1.

	Confucius, K'ung-fu-tzu
		Confucius thought that a ruler who had to resort to force had already failed as a ruler -- "Your job is to govern, not to kill" (Analects XII:19).
		While the practice of Confucianism was not entirely consistent with these principles of Confucius just expressed, his attitude did have a significant effect on the conduct of Chinese religion, where popular gods possessed less status in terms of politics and high culture than we see in most other civilizations.
		This page on Confucius is intended to focus on some particular issues of ethics and political economy that are important for the Friesian School and which I have stressed in my classes.
