孔子和老子廉政思想之比较

Comparison of Honest and Clean Politics Between Confucius and Lao-tzu

孔子和老子廉政思想因产生于相同社会土壤而有着相似内容,他们都主张爱民、提倡节俭、注重加强道德修养。但作为儒道两大学派的开创者,二者在廉政思想的核心、主体、手段和目标等方面都有着较大差异,表现出不同的特点。

There are similarities between the thought of honest and clean politics of Confucius and that of Lao-tzu, for they originate from the same social background. They both advocate the idea of loving people, call for austerity and emphasize on strengthening self-cultivation. However, as the founders of two major schools of Taoist Confucianism, they have distinct dissimilarities in the core, subject, method and objective matters of the thought of honest and clean politics, and show their different characters to each other.
