Abstract
Li and Filipino behavioural propriety
Highlights
A number of the elements of Filipino indigenous philosophy are about behavioural propriety
I suggest that importantly, Confucian understanding of li offers the view of behavioural propriety as having an ennobling function, and that Filipino understanding of behavioural propriety offers a perspective on the debate in Confucianism about whether it is ren 仁 or li that is more fundamental in Confucius’s thought
I explore the Filipino understanding of behavioural propriety, before which I first address the question: What is Filipino indigenous philosophy? I address the question by discussing the elements of the philosophy identified by Emerita Quito and Florentino Timbreza, among other things
Summary
A number of the elements of Filipino indigenous philosophy are about behavioural propriety. I present my response to the question of what Confucian and Filipino understandings on behavioural propriety offer for the enrichment of each other.
