Abstract

Confucius's ideas are a basic element in the thinking and evolution of mankind, bringing a very important contribution in the development of law principles. Confucius's ideas on Law and the principles by which society is organized and managed properly can be summarized in the following lessons: “The superior man is dominated by love of justice, the common man is dominated by the love of gain”. Confucius required to be respected traditions, customs and rituals in order to have a stronger society and citizens that obey the laws. The teachings of Confucius were a main source of law which later formed the principles of Chinese law.
