Nice

I feel like he is more of a Lao Tzu than a Confucius
Confucius once said that making a mistake and not correcting it is making another mistake I love your classes
One of the greatest teachers ever… talking about one of the greatest teachers ever. Keep up the good work Khan Academy!

What are books sal is using for World history videos any idea?
This video is great, when you fast-forward.
What a missed opportunity for Khan Academy, a company that is founded on the ideal of free, lifelong education for all!! For Confucianism is in fact rooted in the ideal of universal education. Confucius said it himself: "By nature, we are all basically alike. It is learning and practice that set us apart." "When people are educated, barriers between the classes disappear...If the children of kings and emperors lack quality, they should be demoted to the level of the peasants. And if the children of peasants have quality, they should be elevated to the ranks of the rulers." For Confucius, one's station in life was created through learning; one did not inherit one's status. To his credit, Sal notes that Confucius shunned laws and punishments, favoring the example of the learned and the enlightened to gently lead the way. Well, how do you get these people? Through learning! For Confucius (Kong-zi), the true scholar is humble and knows what he does not know (as Khan noted in the previous video)--sound advice for some of our leaders today! And because one is humble, one is prepared to learn from just about anyone: "Three people walking, one is my future teacher." So there is a strong sense of _populism_ in Confucian thought, in that even the greatest scholars can (and must) learn from the humblest people. More important: ANYONE who wants to can raise his station in his life through EDUCATION. Anyone. And Confucius put his money where his mouth was, as he was the first to enroll poor kids free of charge in his Academy in the State of Lu. This principle of equal access to education is not even a reality in many parts of the US today (an issue that Khan Academy is working to ameliorate). And up to the last century, you had the caste system in India and a strict class-based society in Europe. Indeed, shows like Downton Abbey are based on the dying-out of this class-based society in the early 20th century. So, 2500 years ago, the idea that everyone could learn and improve their condition, was revolutionary. So if Khan Academy were transported 2,500 years into the past to ancient China, it would not be out of place. For Khan and Kong-zi share so much in common. It's a shame that Sal Khan does not point this out.This is not just about ideology or lofty principles, either: Confucius has so much to say about the process of learning itself that is echoed in Khan's teaching approach: "I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand" and "If I hold up one corner and the pupil does not return the other three, I do not continue teaching." In other words, learning is not a one-way street. You have to do the problems, interact, contribute your own ideas. In fact, after providing his listeners with a bit of intuition, Sal often asks them to stop the video and work things out. Just like Confucius would do to his disciples--explain a little, then ask them to go off and solve the problem. So, great teaching is another thing Khan-zi and Kong-zi have in common.

Confucius also said, “己欲立而立人”, which in English, means, “To establish oneself, establish others.”
René Descartes:
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
Leo Tolstoy:
The strongest of all warriors are these two - Time and Patience.
Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.
Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their own customs, privileges, or beliefs.
This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking...
The most striking example in the seventeenth century was the German philosopher, Leibniz (1646-1716), one of the most internationally minded men who ever lived.
He read extensively on China, corresponded with Jesuits who had lived there, and wrote on Confucian philosophy.
In a letter written in 1697, he announced: "I shall have to post a notice on my door: Bureau of Information for Chinese Knowledge."
Leibniz found in the mystic symbols contained in an ancient Chinese classic support for his own mathematical theories.
There are striking parallels, too, between his philosophy and certain Confucian ideas.
Above all, however, he had the dream of creating a new civilization that would be truly universal.
This could be done, he believed, by consciously selecting and bringing together the best elements in Chinese and Western culture.
This dream he expressed in a little book of 1697, Novissima Sinica or Latest News from China, in which he wrote:
"I almost think it necessary that Chinese missionaries should be sent to us to teach the aims and practice of natural theology, as we send missionaries to them to instruct them in revealed religion." Leibniz's dream still remains, alas, only a dream!
By many of his contemporaries, however, such theories were regarded as dangerous and revolutionary.
A disciple of Leibniz, Christian Wolff (1679-1754), suffered persecution because of his admiration for China. In a lecture delivered at the University of Halle in 1721, he praised the Chinese system for successfully harmonizing individual happiness with the welfare of the state.
He maintained that Confucianism was fully adequate as a way of life; that there was no real conflict between it and Christianity.
For these bold words he was immediately accused of atheism, and, after a bitter attack, was forced to give up his position in the university.
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

Confucius's Utopia
The way of the Great Dao,
The world belongs to all.
Choose the virtuous and the capable,
Emphasize trustworthiness and harmony.
Therefore, people not only favor their own kin,
Not only cherish their own children;
Ensuring the elderly have a dignified end,
The strong have a purpose,
The young have growth,
The humble, widowed, orphaned, isolated, and disabled, all are cared for;
Men have their roles, women have their place.
Goods, detest being left unused,
No need to hoard for oneself;
Strength, detest being unutilized,
No need to keep to oneself.
Therefore, plans are made but not enforced,
Thieves and rebels do not arise,
Doors are left unbarred,
This is what is called "Great Harmony."
The Han used legalism, too. Legalism was the core of their ideology. They covered it up with confucianism, though. Both of these systems of thought characterize China until today.
"Signs and symbols rule this world! Not words, nor laws" Confucius
This is a great intro, don't get me wrong, but where is the part where you talk about what Confucianism is actually about? Needs a second part with more in-depth discussion of the sources. Confucianism is often misunderstood and misused by China's modern rulers.
I've come to the conclusion that Confucianism indirectly contributed to the palace intrigues that confounded several later dynasties. The problem appears to be the palace eunuchs. My understanding is that they were essentially volunteers, under the assumption that - without the ability to start families they would be selfless administrators, yet clearly this was not the case. Scheming eunuchs have been at the heart of corrupt intrigues, the An-Lushan rebellion comes to mind, as an example - dooming the Tang dynasty.
The very fact that the highest positions in the palace required a man to be a eunuch ensured they would embody the ruthless ambition they were supposed to eschew. If a man would go through that... for power in the palace... yikes.
The problem of scheming eunuchs could have been 'neutered' if a selection of older, responsible women could have been trained as palace administrators, less likely to have the same degree of ambition, and no threat to the Emperor's harem. But this was apparently unthinkable, because classical Confucianism would relegate these women to home life exclusively.

Confucius for North Korea, 2018 (Or whenever North Korea has ele- Oh, wait...).
Why is it called Confusionism? Is it a confusing philosophy?
What’s the Profit of Life?
I am a Christian and i love the story of Confucius he was one of the most wise man to walk on Earth...
Confucianism is not a religion, but philosophy or society code of conduct. The terms he used regarding God are no different from the U.S constitution. Christianity is very big in South Korea and so is Confuciusm. A Christian South Korea will tell you his religion is Christianity, and he also follows Confucianism practice. The whole South Korean is Confucius society, it doesn't matter what religion he chooses.
@@Kus519 Confucious is a G_d according to Indonesian religion law. Just like Yhwa, Buddha and others.
👍👏🏻👌

Confucius once said:
"So here's the real golden rule: I'm way above you weak rookies. Confucius say you can all hold these fortune cookies"
Confucius say, crowded elevator smell different to midget
The video was quite Confuciu-ing
Did the trouble start when one religion 'claimed' to be the true religion? Before that, prosyletisation of new beliefs could flourish without being threatened with war?
God sent hundreds of profets messengers... Each one of those mentioned could be one of them
