【 摘 要 】
Kongzi/Kongfuzi or Confucius of âChinaâ and CÄnakya/Viá¹£á¹ugupta or Kauá¹ilya of âIndiaâ were statesmen as well as teachers, though never professional classroom instructors. They both dedicated themselves to advising royalty and the ruling class in the art of administration as well as in the secrets of success and survival in a world that was at once uncharitable and unprincipled. Nevertheless, both base their counsels on moralityâKongzi on ren [benevolence] and de [virtue] and Kauá¹ilya on dharma [duty] and daá¹á¸a [law]. Both seek to enhance the quality of human life in terms of material and moral riches, their only distinction being the Chinese Masterâs teachings are primarily philosophical thus bearing the stamp of universality, whereas the Indian ÄcÄryaâs [preceptorâs] insights pertain to the interests of his particular state.
