Beschreibungen/Notizen
Although Western and Chinese philosophy evolved from disparate doctrinal foundations, the department of ethics is a notable exception. "How to live the good life" is a subject treated by Confucius and Aristotle in a manner that exhibits many surprising points of coincidence, not least in the colossal influence of both these philosophers on the social and political shape of their respective civilisations. This article is an attempt to correlate the relevant ideas which, as it were, build a bridge between East and West on the perennial issues that affect all mankind in the context of a civil society.
