Main Article Content
Abstract
The article summarizes the position or role of women in classical Confucianism. The article starts from the classic texts of the Confucianism looking for elements of the texts that give clues to the conception and treatment of women. Confucianism as a practical philosophy becomes an ethical doctrine founded strongly on virtue with a view to improving individual man and society as a whole. Virtue is the axis of the actions of the individual and the State. Details of the role of women in society are described in the book of Rites, which is practically reduced to their role as wife and mother. The subordination of women to men and in their decisionmaking is clearly established in the texts. Concluding, Confucianism is the relationship of kinship that achieves the gender of women. Although, as for Catholicism, both sexes are complementary.
