Big Talk on Big Thinkers - Confucius
Details
According to Google AI:
Confucian ideas centre on moral character, social harmony, and ethical governance, emphasizing virtues like ren (humaneness/benevolence), li (ritual/propriety), and filial piety (respect for family/elders). Key concepts include self-cultivation through education, fulfilling mutual responsibilities in relationships (like ruler-subject, parent-child, husband-wife), and restoring order through virtuous conduct, ensuring a stable society where individuals align with the cosmic order (Tian/Heaven).
Here is a brief video discussing some of his ideas:
