The Confucian discourse of mind, reason, and culture started about the same time in ancient China as the Daoist discourse did. Confucius (551–478 BC) was Plato’s and Laozi’s contemporary, while Mencius (371–289 BC) was Zhuangzi’s and Aristotle’s contemporary. Confucianism was the intellectual adversary of Daoism. It joined Daoism to create the Chinese drama of the philosophical discourse of mind, reason, and culture as Greek philosophers performed their philosophical drams of the discourse of mind, reason, and culture. Confucian philosophers shared with Grecian and Daoist philosophers the concern about mind, reason, and culture, and the concern about liberation of individual minds from various prisons. They developed a new doctrine of mind, reason, and culture, making Confucianism outstanding and epoch-making in the history of the philosophical discourse of mind, reason, and culture. In the global history of the philosophical discourse of mind, reason, and culture, Daoism developed the discourse of liberation of the mind into the discourse of transformation of the mind. Confucianism transformed the discourse of liberation of the mind into the discourse of expansion of the mind. Daoism developed the doctrine of free, spontaneous, and creative individual minds as the ideal individual minds. Confucianism developed the doctrine of broad, great, refined, and profound individual minds as the ideal individual minds.
