Summary:

Overemphasizing superficial similarities in the two systems has led scholars to overlook differences between them that are philosophically more important, says Yuli (philosophy, Party School of the Central Committee of the CPC, Beijing). She argues that Confucian ethics unites rule and virtue, then goes on the explore the more general philosophical theme of the integration or unity of rule and virtue in one moral theory.
