Mencius
Mencius is a great ideologist and educator in the Warring States Period. A hundred years after Confucius died, Mencius taught and expanded Confucian doctrine. His philosophical thinking has its origin in Confucius'thoughts. Mencius believes that human nature is essentially good, and it is society's influence that causes the degradation of morality. For that reason, he attaches great importance to moral education. Mencius'mother plays an important role in his life. She moved home three times only to find an environment that she felt was suitable for the child's upbringing.
