- Abstract
Chinese philosophy, which is a guide to life for the Chinese people, emphasizes three main things in its teachings, namely life, knowledge and nature. Chinese philosophy is strongly influenced by the thoughts of philosophers, including Kongzi with Confucian teachings, and Laozi with Taoist teachings. Confucian philosophy emphasizes the relationship between humans and humans, ethical teachings, love and virtue, while Taoism philosophy has a broader scope, namely the relationship between humans and the universe. This research is a comparative descriptive research that uses a philosophical analysis research method that examines the comparison between the axiological foundations of humanism in Confucian philosophy and Taoist philosophy. In Chinese philosophy, humanism is the main focus in its teachings, but in the views of Confucianism and Taoism there are differences in views and contradictions which result in the two philosophical teachings viewing humanism differently.
