Confucius is certainly an outstanding thinker, but not a philosopher at all. The set of rules of behavior is called Ethics, it is a narrower discipline, the technology of successful behavior of an individual. Comparing Confucius with Hegel, Kant, or Laplace is like comparing Watt with Maxwell, Gauss, Lorentz, or De Broglie … Not the same level, without detracting, however, from specific merits.
Confucius taught the wisdom of living. He taught correctly, because the modern renaissance of Asia is also due to Confucius. Rituals and their significance in people's lives cannot be overemphasized.
Confucius stands out among other thinkers primarily for his common sense. That is why his philosophy has survived for centuries and can be successfully applied in any country, including our own.
