ABSTRACT

If ‘Education of humanism’ aims to improve personal moral dignity and in the education words and behaviors of the sages can work as a good model, we can fully interpret integrity of personality and identify methods and theoretical grounds to complete it through the thoughts of Confucius. Confucius suggests how far human beings are able to reach in terms of stages of personality, through his own progress of life. The highest stage he shows is ‘freedom’ and ‘Heaven-Man Unity’, which means completion of moral dignity and infinity. The theoretical base of Confucius for this stage that humans can reach is ‘Benevolence(仁)’. ‘Benevolence’ is innate morality which not only indicates love, honorable conduct and the public interest, but also is given us transcendentally. We feel discomfort and insecurity in the morally relevant circumstances because of this innate morality given for humanity. Based on this morality and moral sentiments, we are able to lift ourselves to the best level of personality. This is the reason why education of humanism can be conducted by Confucian ideas.
