To be perfectly honest, I don't know. The reason being there are
so few records that can really be credited to him. According he
"organised the Shi Jing (Poems)", wrote reviews for "Yi Jing". But
these organisation works don't really show his views. He wrote a
history book "Chun Qiu", which is so short that it can simply be
organised into an excel table, often, a chapter of this book will
consist of 4 words. Subsequently, people tried to expand on the
book, but then they became other people's view and not his. The
analect (Lun Yu) which supposingly record his conversation with his
students were also being "review" and "reorganised" many times over
history. Furthermore, during the Sung Dynasty, the official
Confucianism school is the "Li Xue" which has a notion that
basically say "lets f*** whatever the people were really saying in
those classic and lets interpretate it in current context so that
it make sense". Hence after all this hassle, I really don't know if
there's any Confucius own view left or is most of what we are
reading just made up by people after him.
