Confucianism

The Ru tradition of ritual, humaneness, and moral cultivation in relationships.

The Analects is a later compilation. Mencius develops a picture of moral sprouts. Later Confucianism is a long and divided history that this page does not pretend to cover. For NOEMA, the tradition is a standing reminder that communal priority and virtue are not footnotes to a European axis.
