Revised Synthesis 1 (Confucius)


What is philosophy as demonstrated in Ancient Chinese Philosophy by Confucius?

I think living your name is the philosophy as demonstrated in Ancient Chinese Philosophy because the disorder in the society happens when one who does not live his name which makes the society in a disorder manner.

Living your name means doing what responsibility you have. When one lives his name, people will be in order because everyone know what to do and not confused what should they do. Like in the Analect 13:3 “If names are not rectified, then language is not accord with truth. If the language is not in accord with the truth, then things cannot be accomplished. If things cannot be accomplished, then ceremonies and music will not flourish. If ceremonies and music will not flourish, then punishment will not be just. If the punishments are not just, then the people will not know how to move hand and foot.” It just means that when one does not know right and wrong, he will not know what to or what to act and when one does not know what to act, he will be confused and don’t know what to do and when one does not know what to do, one will be in chaos, but when one know what to do or to act, he will do things right and when things are right, there will be order in the society. Like in incorrect names, when one does not know how to live his names, things will be in chaos, like when the politicians don’t live there name, people in the society will also don’t know what to do and things will be in chaos.

Therefore living what your name hold is very important in the society, because when one lives his name, he will know what should be done and what act to make and knowing what action to do will make the society in order and the chaos society will be replaced by harmonious society.
