Confucius thoughts
-Joey Cross (discuss • contribs) 01:00, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Can I ask where you found the phrase Rénxìng huà? I see that this contains the word "Ren," which is what the editions of Confucius that I've used say is the word behind "humaneness" (which can be translated lots of ways). This looks like a fuller description, and I'd love to learn more! Is it in the Analects?
 * The working definition is looking great. A fun thing I will sometimes do with students is to have them translate or paraphrase ren in different analects. Try doing that with a selection and you'll get a sense for the really rich valence that the word has.
 * You mention 6.22. This one really perplexes me! What does he mean by saying that humaneness means "putting difficulties first"?

Another one! What do you think about 6.23? Why does the humane person take delight in hills and not in water, like the wise person? Or do they take delight in both? Can you be both wise and humane? -Joey Cross (discuss • contribs) 01:04, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
