Confucius, ritual, harmony, secularization, chinese philosophyAbstract
Starting from the Analects, the text closest to the original thought of Confucius, and using the other three books of the classical canon of Confucianism, the present work seeks to analyze the importance that rituals, as a paradigmatic formula of social guidelines, have in Confucian philosophy, in relation to his ethical, political and cosmological system. Then, he establishes a semblance of the structure of rituals in Confucian China. Finally, the relationship of the Confucian School with rituals is contrasted with the secularization of today's democracy.
