COMMENT ON "EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE IN CONFUCIANISM".

The article "Educational Philosophy and Educational Practice in Confucianism" delves into the central focus of pre-Qin Confucianism on human nature and its implications for educational philosophy. Confucius emphasized the innate similarity of human nature while highlighting the impact of postnatal factors on individual differences. The ethical teachings of Confucianism, particularly on benevolence, emphasize love for others as a fundamental virtue. Mencius further developed the concept of innate goodness in human nature, advocating for the nurturing of individuals' virtuous nature. Confucius's emphasis on rituals aimed at regulating behavior to maintain social order and harmony, with a focus on moral guidance rather than punishment. Xunzi, on the other hand, addressed the inherent evil within human nature and advocated for deliberate intervention through education to transform evil into goodness. [Extracted from the article]
