This document discusses social constraints during the pandemic based on the social philosophies of Confucius, Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel. It explains that social constraints refer to social behaviors and attributes that influence the sustainability of social practices within a community. Social constraints can include both formal practices like government regulations as well as informal norms and cultural preferences. The document identifies four determinants of social constraints: socioeconomic status, social environment, social motives, and social uncertainty. It provides examples of how each of these lead to social constraints during the pandemic situation.

CONFUCIOUS explores
three principal interconnected areas of concern:

An ethics rooted in the cultivation of a set of personal virtues
A theory of society and politics based on normative views of the family and the state.

4. SOCIAL CONSTRAINTS
ARISTOTLE
Aristotle and his works became the basis for the both religion and science, especially
through the Middle Ages.
Aristotle's scientific observations were considered the last word in knowledge until
about the 16th century, when Renaissance thought challenged and eventually replaced
much of it.
Even so, Aristotle's empirical approach based on observation, hypothesis and direct
experience (experimentation) is at least part of the basis for scientific activity in nearly
every field of study.)

5. • KANT AND HEDGEL
• Kant’s philosophy of art was a deliberate attempt to remove personal subjectivity.
• Like Hegel, Kant did believe there was a universal beauty, or Absolute of something.
• Hegel’s philosophy rests in his method of dialectical idealism which in fact, his
definition of philosophy springs forth from the very nature of how the method goes. So
to clarify, philosophy is his dialectical idealism and that “philosophy moves
essentially in the element of universality, which includes within itself the
particular”.
