A Comparative Study of Communitarian Tendencies in Confucianism and Islam

Communitarianism can be seen as a new ideological trend that emerged in criticizing liberalism since the 1980s. Communitarianism emphasizes the need for a community life while criticizing the modern view of humanity formed by liberalism s free agreement or contract. Therefore, communitarianism emphasizes equality rather than individual freedom, responsibility rather than rights, and values judgmental discourse rather than value-neutral neglect. This paper examines the main issues of communitarianism and compares and analyzes the communitarian views of Confucianism and Islam. Confucianism and Islam have the communitarian values and concepts centered on families and communities, and today they try to construct their lives in a way that they want by utilizing Western modernity.
