Manuel Fraijó, professor emeritus of Philosophy of Religion and History of Religions (UNED), addresses the figure of Confucius and, by way of comparison, also refers to Lao-Tse. According to the classification proposed by the speaker, Confucianism and Taoism are wisdom religions and their principles are expressed as wisdoms or humanist philosophies that determine relationships and the organization of life. The book that collects the teachings of Confucius is the Analects, which consists of brief sentences, dialogues and anecdotes, and is a political, economic and social compendium aimed at establishing the ethical and moral behavior of Chinese officials of his time (6th-5th centuries BC).
