| Popis: |
Evil is a key concept in Confucianism and other world religions and philosophies, so it is central to our comparative understanding of human nature. Confucian moral idealism is occasionally criticized for being too optimistic or unable to clearly explain the nature of evil. This chapter therefore discusses Toegye’s interpretation by using a textual and interpretive approach. Toegye criticized the origin of moral evil and recommended a self-transcending way to remove it and do good. |
