Under the perspective of pedagogy and the historical textual research, This article attempts to show a dimension of composure (Jing)in the thought world of Wang Yangming, wich is a basic point of his philosophy of humanization, but also the wisdom of the ideological system. When Wang Yangming began to explore the question of "what kind of good person should be" and "how to become a good person", the idea of "learning for the saints" of the sexologist fits into his spiritual world. Inherited the doctrine of Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming follows the classical doctrine in the Liujing (Six Classics) and Sizi (The Four Books), and carries this pursuit into his own life. Our question is when his humanization of philosophy became a historical information of the past, how can we entered his spiritual world became a critical confused. Composure is one of the most important conceptual tool for us to rethinking his philosophy, which is helpful for us to understand the real connotation of Confucianism, and also help us to reflection how formation and development of the Yangming School, and rethinking the current educational problems.

It is through education that the people learn to follow "li" (behavioral and ritual propriety) and treat others with "ren" (humaneness). He often contrasted the behaviors of a superior man and a petty person in his conversations with his disciples. "The noble person is inclusive, not exclusive; the petty person is exclusive, not inclusive.
The reader can now trust that Gatto has the necessary requirements to give an honest opinion that modern day schooling is for creating consumers and controllable citizens of society. He proves this to the reader through his experiences as a teacher and through the students he has taught. He also refers to other authors on the subject, such as James Bryant Conant and Alexander Inglis who breakdown the purpose of modern day schooling, which provides reliable sources to the reader. Gatto early on establishes his character, gives reliable sources to prove credibility, and attempts to convince the reader that he is speaking the truth through his tone on the subject. In establishing these things he can then go into other rhetorical strategies to pull the reader
(1977, 18). This is paralleled to the way in which the Stoics take the truth of the teachings from the teacher and retreat to apply their own subjective rules of conduct (Foucault 1988, 35). Furthermore, I think this is Foucault’s style, and gives us grounds to see his view on neoliberalism as a critique. In ‘the Birth of Biopolitcs’ he is giving us a description of what is happening, and—analogous to the stoic strategy—giving us a strategy to resist as individuals.

Smith was simply expressing his views on the traditional education system. Will Smith is aggravated with traditional education and is voicing ways to change it and make it better.
The Allegory of the Cave can also resemble to Eastern Philosophy how society lives only through the human ego and in order to get out of the state of delusion living in one state of conscience we would have to lead a moral life, be mindful and aware of our thoughts and to develop wisdom and understanding
Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote Self-Reliance during the time period when transcendentalism emerged, thus based his essay off of this ideology. Transcendentalism is known as the philosophy that divine truth is present in all created things and that truth is known through intuition, not through the rational mind. This principle seems to be a reoccurring theme throughout many of Emerson’s essays. In fact, he is known as a transcendentalist philosopher. In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self-Reliance, Emerson is convincing his readers that self-reliance is more important than being dependent on others by using metaphors and pathos.
Intellectuals and pamphlets that contradicted with Legalists opinions were ruined. Legalists, also requested people to anticipate the same way and not increase too much of person’s understanding. Confucianism and Legalism had distant principles and concepts of what was valuable, but they were all philosophies that processed towards a familiar objective of reconciliation and conformity. Confucius thought that the universe was made of organized orders in both the clan and the politics, and that people at the highest of the ranking should regulate with compassion to gain the dignity of their issues. They maintained the acceptance of Legalism, in which the people must contribute their all to the state and rulers used firm society and severe disciplines to keep people in control, trusting that humans were typically destructive and dishonest.
Duiker explains that Cai was “ a product of Confucian scholarship. He represented his conduct and beliefs by the finest conduct of the Confucian Gentleman.” Confucianism was clearly a force that shaped his worldview.

Cai would latter criticize the Confucian Examination system in his book Xuetang Jiaoke Lun (On School Curriculum) were he

Each one has expressed the importance of Aristotle’s view of leadership and opposing the way man has been conditioned to accept knowledge through science and reasoning. Levine and Boaks state that “the broadly Aristotelian account… demonstrates that leadership can and should be conceived of as a master virtue that, correctly understood, serves human flourishing” (2013). Keeping in mind that Aristotle’s Responsibility and the Primary Virtues of Character (Sachs, 2002) and Lewis’ The Abolition of Man (1944), in order to be a leader one must be ethically just, or what you will come to find as moral development. This is the concern of goodness and goodwill for your companions and leading because it is a beautiful, chosen virtue (Ethics, III, 1117a, 10). This courageous leadership translates to Lewis’ preservation of Man, not because you are conditioning man, but because you will make sacrifices in order for man to survive.
