Aristotle And Confucianism Similarities

In the perspective of virtue Aristotle and Confucianism are similar because both talked about the virtue is a way to guiding humanity. Aristotle have to do with more action, that pertains to human good not what is right. Aristotle ethical system is mostly based off of common sense, and moral judgment. Confucianism is build off of cardinal relationships to help elucidate the family social rules and promote social harmony. In the book it states that as a husband, he is responsible of taking care of the family. Which is true, we look to our fathers and the wives look to their husband for comfort because they supposed to be the backbone of the family. Family is supposed to look out for one another. In Aristotle the book states that doing good without
thinking that their doing good. For example, people who donates just so they can out way the bad in their life versus people who donates without hesitating or thinking about they just did something good, that is virtue in today's society. My moral system is based on relativism because the moral standard you use might works good for you but not to the next person. Everyone is different and similar in certain ways, so you cannot make someone follows your moral standards. For example, some people say that eat fruits will dieting is bad for you and other say it healthier for you. Aristotle wrote Nicomachean ethics which is basically what the virtue ethics is depriving from. Aristotle is value a good virtuous person other than the punishments of their actions. Also, from natural internal tendencies that comes from being nurtured. For instance, someone dropped their wallet on the ground with money, banking information, and identification. You were taught/nurtured to return things that doesn’t belong to you, so you wouldn't think about not returning. It is like an instinct in your body telling you " I have to give this person his/her wallet back."
