When Socrates meets Confucius
Yudan has said:”Confucius is grey,it’s splendid when grey is mixed with any other colours.”That is to say,Confucius interlinks the colourful world.Interlink is extensive,from east to west,from ancient times to modern times.The majority of people may can’t help asking:”what sparks can appear when confucius interlinks Socrates?”So,today,the tittle of my speech is when Socrates meets confucius.Some people advocate that Socrates or confucius traverses to meet.While from my own perspective,Socrates is on behalf of ancient greek,confucius is on behalf of ancient china,to some extent,the title means that the culture of ancient greek meets culture of ancient china.They staged a similar life,bring hope and bright to their own country,making a difference.Socrates’concept of supremacy of law and a democratic society are invariably corresponded with confucius’ idea of ceremy and common society.Indeed, the waves pushed forward waves.In some ways,Socrates is superior to confucius.For example,the limitation of kinship that Socrates put forward is straightforward,on contrast,the view that confucius hold ispeople are more important than the ruler,giving us a more temperate feeling.We will form thesituation which is called a combination of Chinese and western when the two cultures meet.,which can help us own a finer and more harmonious society.
