Autorenporträt
Confucius, born in 551 BCE in the state of Lu (modern-day Shandong, China), was a Chinese philosopher, teacher, and political thinker whose ideas have profoundly influenced East Asian culture for over two thousand years. Despite early hardships, he became educated and entered government service, gaining a reputation for his wisdom and dedication to ethical leadership. Although his political career faced challenges, Confucius remained committed to his vision of a harmonious society built on virtue and moral integrity.The teachings of Confucius, later recorded in The Analects by his disciples, emphasize key virtues such as ren (benevolence), li (ritual propriety), and xiao (filial piety). He taught that societal harmony depended on personal cultivation, respect for tradition, and the moral example of leaders. Confucius believed in the transformative power of education, viewing learning and self-improvement as lifelong responsibilities that extended beyond scholarship to ethical action and compassion.After his death in 479 BCE, Confucius's ideas became central to Chinese philosophy, especially as later dynasties adopted Confucianism as a state ideology. His teachings laid the foundation for the civil service examinations and shaped the political, social, and educational systems of East Asia. Today, Confucius's emphasis on virtue, leadership, and responsibility continues to resonate, offering enduring insights into ethics and governance.
