Lesson Nine: Magic & Religion Part 1 Study Guide
Chapter 11
This lesson is not included in the final exam. This is just interesting information about the Greek religion & Confucianism.
Greek Rationalism
If something isn't explained scientifically, it is considered not rational. Democritus agreed that this method is the right method to use. Due to this, Muggle people were biased & very negative towards wizards & witches who use magic. If you couldn't explain how you did magic, it was a hoax. Muggles often condemned magical people for blasphemy & for being foolish. In 1600, it became a great risk to use magic.
Confucianism
This was taught in the fifth & sixth centuries (BCE) in China by Confucius. It was another option of knowledge instead of criticizing magic. They insist that magic is from li or from rituals. This might be the reason why women weren't using magic, but men used it a great deal.
Li is harmony; the most important value of magic.
Ren is loyalty to kindness & compassion.
Shu is to help others.
De is honor.
Zhi is the craving for wisdom.
Xi is honesty.
