As we look at some problems in our country, even in the whole world, social problems like violence, discrimination, unfairness, war, etc. become common things. We can read or watch news about these things almost everyday. In this kind of problems, human beings live as if they do not have feeling and heart, or empathy to others. From this fact, the question which emerges is: what should we understand about humanity and living together as a society? From this specific situation and question, this essay would like to make a reflection through Confucianism. Confucianism offers rich arguments about what human being is, how they should live in this world, how they should make a relationship each other, and what kind of society we should form. As an east philosophy, Confucianism can be closer to our situation and context. And hopefully, this reflection can support a creative thought of praxis of religions, because nowadays, we realize that religion must show a significant role to help human beings understand about good life in this world.Downloads
