- W2497659434 abstract "One of the most striking things about the doctrine of Confucianism was its distinct lack of a rights tradition. Not only was there no lexical term for rights in the Confucian vocabulary, but there also appears to have been a conceptual absence of rights in Confucian thinking. Indeed, in many respects, the dominant ideas and practices of Confucianism were incompatible with a notion of rights. For example, as I point out in the first part of this chapter, in contrast to the basic concept of human rights which sees people as moral equals, Confucian society, and the philosophy that underpinned it, was based on a system of moral inequality which evaluated human worth in accordance with familial and social status. This ‘moral hierarchy’, as I term it, meant that some members of society (e.g. officials, fathers and husbands) were thought to have greater moral worth than others (e.g. common people, sons and wives). In fact, Confucianism appears to have been hostile to the idea of rights in general, most notably as a consequence of the overwhelming stress that was placed on the fulfilment of social and familial roles. This was buttressed by the ethical belief that a preoccupation with one’s private interests was selfish and immoral, and by the requirement that the individual must subordinate their interests to those of the group or the collective, such as the family and society as a whole.
