Episode #008 ... Confucianism
Philosophize This!
Confucius and Morality
Confucius thought it impossible effectively rule over a population if you yourself are not practising both li and gin. Guide the common people by edicts, keep them in line with punishments, and the common people will stay out of trouble, but will have no sense of shame. This really points out the energy between his ostensibly different views about being the best individual you can be and being the best political official you can be. The life of self reflection and virtue and constantly improving yourself on a personal level translates really well into apra ic political theory.
