Meng - tzu, another Confucian philosopher, although expressing an opposite view of human nature, recognized the existence of social ills and, trusting the nature of men to be good, relied on self - improvement for the solution.
Teine konfutsianismi filosoof Meng - tzu väljendas vastandlikku vaadet inimloomusele, kuid tunnustas siiski ühiskondlike probleemide olemasolu ja toetus lahenduses inimese eneseparandamisele, lootes, et inimloomus on hea.
