Title: Ancient Virtues and Ethics and the Properties of the Early Ethics of Confucianism --the differences between Confucius and Aristotle in Ethics
Abstract: The Spring and Autumn Period when Confucius lived is an age of stressing virtues. Virtues were the focus of all people. However Confucius thought focused on gentlemen, and virtues and life were only part of his theory. It can be said that Confucius thought is more than virtues and ethics. The greatest difference of Confucius thought from his former scholars is Kindness. Kindness is not only virtues but also Taoism, not only ethics but also principles. From the whole theory of Confucius, we can say that Confucius thought is not only virtue ethics but also the basic principles and rules of social virtues and life.
