Similarities between Confucius and Socrates on Morality and Belief
Socrates and Confucius share similar beliefs. Socrates questions the relationship between morality and a belief in god, suggesting that morality exists independently of a divine being. Confucius, on the other hand, compares morality to an oppressive government, implying that individuals should not be morally bound by external forces. Both philosophers emphasize the importance of living a moral life based on personal understanding and inner values.
