Abstract
"Confucian ethics focuses on the structure of human relationships, and in particular on the core relationship of the family. Indeed, the family is supposed to provide an idealized model for all other relationships. The classical Confucian conception of social and political philosophy is also more hierarchical and paternalistic than modern western approaches. As a result, there has been significant contemporary Asian opposition to the individualism of Western rights-based approaches to ethics and political philosophy. "
