Abstract

First, in Confucian philosophy, a filial piety (孝) is a sort of virtue of respect for one's parents, elders, and ancestors. The filial piety can also be applied to social integration. The term is central to Confucian social ethics in China and Korea. Second, The Ethical norms of any society are realized upon its ontological thinking. And to go one step further, its system of social orders or its dominating social Integration are also up to a certain degree influenced by this inter-dynamic relation of the ethical norm and ontological concept. The filial piety is a sort of principle of Public nature in pre-modern society, and is necessary in modern times. In the modern style the filial piety demands careful consideration of the democratic-capital society of Korea. Third, the education of the filial piety should be broadened. Because in present-day capital society with the rich and the poor sharply contrasted the filial piety as principle of Public nature is still in effect.
