its a collective work, even the inner ch.

but it was all made possible by a time of social chaos. when there is no social order the mind sees it all.

If someone made one I'd be interested.
My knowledge of Chinese philosophy caps out at Confucianism vs Taoism vs Legalism. And I don't think Legalism even counts as a philosophical system.

>> No.16946012

>>16945999
No legalism definitely counts, why wouldn't it? I can't see any reason it wouldn't but Confucianism would.

>> No.16946036

>>16946012
Confucianism tells you how to live your life and what is moral and what to do in any situation.
Its as philosophical as any other moral system. Even if it doesn't bother with metaphysics all that much.
Legalism afaik is like applied Machiavellianism. How to make a stable government, but not a code for life.

>> No.16946074

>>16946036
I wouldn't really say philosophy is a code to live your life by either though, and both legalism and confucianism are based mainly on their views on human nature and what should be done to create virtue. I would say "humans are bad so they should be controlled by strict rules" is as much a philosophical position as "humans have a predisposition towards good but need to be cultivated properly to remain virtuous" is.
