It is important to draw on philosophical resources to help in navigating the coming turbulence. As a philosophical tradition born of troubled times, Confucianism is one such resource. Confucianism is not necessarily pacificist but is characterized by a consciousness for the well-being of others and society. This article looks to the Confucian relational self, social ontology, and the political significance of the family. It is guided by Confucius’ statement that when the way fails in the world one should conceal themselves and his claim that governing is to be found in the family rather than being employed in government. When contextualized within Confucian social philosophy, we are afforded a perspective that shows how the ontological structure of the self-other relationship makes the family a public rather than private institution and informs possible avenues of political action when the way fails in the worldNaš svet postaja vse bolj kaotičen. Pomembno je, da črpamo iz filozofske virov, ki nam lahko pomagajo pri soočanju s prihajajočimi izzivi. Konfucijanstvo, filozofska tradicija, ki je nastala v nemirnih časih, je eden takšnih virov. Konfucianizem ni nujno pacifističen, vendar je osnovan na zavesti o blaginji drugih in družbe. Ta članek preučuje konfucijanski relacijski jaz, socialno ontologijo in politični pomen družine. Vodilo mu je Konfucijeva izjava, da se je treba, ko v svetu ni več prave poti, skriti, ter njegova trditev, da je vladanje mogoče najti v družini, in ne v službi vlade. Ko to umestimo v okvir konfucijske socialne filozofije, dobimo perspektivo, ki kaže, kako ontološka struktura odnosa med jazom in drugim ustvarja družino kot javno, in ne zasebno institucijo, ter nakazuje možne poti političnega delovanja, ko v svetu ni več prave potiTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta
