Confucius vs. Aristotle: What the two philosophers teach us about ethics; Big Think, November 28, 2024

 Scotty Hendricks, Big Think; Confucius vs. Aristotle: What the two philosophers teach us about ethics

"If you’ve always wanted to explore Aristotle’s virtue ethics, the contrast with Confucius reminds you that you are not an island; you must recognize what virtuous habits look like both in practice and in theory. Similarly, if you’re drawn to Confucianism, Aristotle’s emphasis on the inner aspects of virtue highlights that li is more than just ritual. Rather than contradicting each other, these philosophies can complement each other, providing a richer understanding of ethical practice."
