Filial Piety and Ritual: A Confucian Approach to Well-Being
Filial Piety and Ritual: A Confucian Approach to Well-Being
Eric Yang
ABSTRACT
This paper examines a Confucian approach to well-being. Two Confucian ideas will be developed—in particular, filial piety (xiao) and ritual (li)—which arose in the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. After a close examination of these two ideas and their relation to well-being, I show how a Confucian approach can serve as a competitor to other conceptions of well-being.
