Confucius Pt. 1 of 2

By Cale Klein through Professor Rev. Dr. James Kenneth Powell, opensourcebuddhism.org This is a nice overview of the thought and life of Confucius. His intention comes out very clearly in this work replete with a number of images of Confucius and a nice cloud background. Quite a number of quotes emerge depicting the core of his thought: social life, pleasure and work and ritual make up the good life. So opposite Laozi, also discussed, Confucius sees the Dao in human rather than strictly natural terms. Klein notes the striving toward the gentleman ideal, the need to cultivate moral examples for governance and thus, create an inner moral sense among the people. I thought we might have benefited from seeing more images, say of maps in China relevant to the discussion, perhaps some other Confucian notables. The music is very appropriately Chinese and the narration is excellent with the exception of mispronouncing Dao as Tayo. Also, no image sources! Oops! Still, production quality is very good as is the intellectual content it illustrates. Grade A work.

I think that this is one of the most detailed and informative video i have seen by a student on YoutTube! It is pretty good. It covers everything about Confucius and his belifs and philosophy. Very well done! It was pretty helpful for the project I am doing. If this was for a grade,Im sure you got a grade! Or whatever you are doing this for.
