Did Confucius support the death penalty?
Today we are going to discuss a serious topic: do you support the death penalty?
To this day, the debate on whether the death penalty should be abolished is still widely debated around the world, and it is difficult to reach a consensus on it. And in China thousands of years ago, Confucius had something to say on the subject. As an advocate of benevolent governance, Confucius stood in opposition to administering punishment without education, believing that the death penalty without expostulation to the condemned is mistreatment against humanity.
