Eudaemonistic Nature as Dynamic and Vital Force for Happiness and Individual Authonomy

What is it about?

Confucianism from its beginnings has a certain eudaemonistic tendency. The ascetic trend advocated by the pioneers of Neo-Confucianism started to influence the society and habits toward the advent of the Yuan dynasty. Li Zhi’s eudaemonistic concept of human being is based on his idea of the innate "selfishness" and concerns self-fulfilment, satisfaction of natural and social desires, and the flow experience. It is also the basis of Li Zhi’s concept of individual autonomy and freedom.
