Confucius and Fanaticism
Description
Many philosophers have offered their descriptions and understanding of the moral fanatic through the ages, and these examinations have yielded many profound insights. The task of this
work is to build upon existing moral concepts to arrive at a new understanding of the fanatic. Since the explanation of everything in this world of human experience consists of being in the
world right here and now, the explanation of the fanatic must resonate in those parameters. Thus, I will turn to a philosopher who pronounced just such a morality -- Confucius. [From introductory section]
